Westbrook, Head of Thunder Team
Draft 4th overall in 2008
And now his speech
Let him already be one of best point guards in league
Smallball dominates this era
Speed and attack are called key to victory
The NBA is world of defenders
Although Westbrook plays point guard
But his performance is not worse than that of defender
His playing style is also the most brutal among active defenders
Wesbrook is so capable
But that year he took fourth overall in draft
Who are three stars ahead of him in draft?
What is current situation?
Can beat Westbrook
A combination of Westbrook's personal abilities and draft picks
We can easily find out
2008 will definitely be a rough year
Indeed, success rate is relatively high this year
But it's also an unfortunate session
Some players must be superstars
Becoming a role player due to injury or other factors
Even mixed as long as there is no ball left to play
Third Overall Choice
Oh Jay Mayo
Mayo was famous all over United States in high school
Top US High School Student
The whole school averaged 29 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists
High school graduation naturally received invitations from many prestigious institutions
Perhaps to prove that he is an American basketball genius
He got into mediocre USC
Go there to become a leader and lead a team alone
But result is not so perfect
He and his university were killed early by Kansas
Skipping ending, causing him to too
Best in high school
He was killed along with Stable #1 in Outworld
Thus, third pick in first round of draft
He was picked by Timberwolves and then sent to Grizzlies
However, his early fame made him undisciplined off pitch
Team relations are bad
Even if he passed Rookie Proficiency Test in Season 1
But extreme inflation after his fame quickly ruined him
State declined and many teams removed
The League banned even taking drugs for two years
He lifted ban this summer
But all teams he played for in Europe cut him down
He may not return to NBA
Second Choice, Second Place
Michael Beasley
I think a lot of people can't believe it
Beasley's current "nervous knife"
Second place in 2008
Actually, Beasley is also a talented player
His attack is brilliant
In college
He led Kansas to defeat
University of Southern California at Mayo, top US high school student at time
I still remember video that was floating around Internet
Beasley and Durant compete against each other on field
Don't you dare stop talking
But at least with Durant 50/50
Height 2.06 and weight 107 kg
Let him be very popular as a third and fourth position swingman
Normal 3rd position can't stand him, 4th position is not as fast as he is
The key is that Beasley still has shots and rebounds
Beasley was chosen by The Heat
In addition, he performed very well in his debut season
Averaging 13.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game with Wade
Such a high talent and such strong abilities
Continue improvement
Beasley could definitely be one
A superstar that can be alone
Actually
He has same criticism as Mayo
Heroic personality
Disagreements between teams
I don't want to participate in training
Chaos of personal life
For various reasons, he finds it difficult to cultivate
My own shortcomings are also gradually revealed
What met him after that was a non-stop exchange
His career is not going well
I even came to China briefly to earn a living as a CBA
Be obscure and powerful foreign aid on field of Chinese team
Now
He signed with Lakers
In new season, dress up as Team Zijin and fight James
Looking forward to second spring
Choice #1
Derrick Ross
Draft No. 1 in 2008
Ross is one who makes everyone feel extremely upset
The debut is top, but it fell early
As best choice of year, Rose did not disappoint
He's full of energy
After team chose their hometown of Chicago
Start to show your talents and abilities
He was 20 in first season
I scored 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game
Leading Rapid Growth and Resurgence of Chicago Bulls
Only third season after promotion
Just beat James to become MVP
Rose was under 23 when he became MVP
As a result, he became youngest MVP in NBA history
He's Bulls' first top rookie since Jordan
This is also Bulls' first MVP since Jordan
The choice of Bulls can then be seen at any time.
Ross really is the germ of a superstar
He also played at superstar level
Ross is in great physical shape and has a great jump
Speed up and change are incredibly beautiful
It's a pity that this style of play will cause too much harm to body
Let him taste pain of wound at a young age
Unfortunately, he is so talented that he is envy of heaven
It wasn't drugs that killed Rose this time
It's not about laziness, it's not about character, it's not about team
It's a damn injury
Just when he wants to show world his leadership qualities
He began to suffer from a serious knee injury
He was in a golden age
But I have to make a living
Take a veteran's base salary and move to different teams
This is a 2008 draft
Three players ahead of Westbrook
Champion and Veteran base salary moved to Alliance
The runner-up character is naughty and wandering.
Tang Hua self-destructs with nothing to do
The top three in that year's draft had too high hopes for people
The current situation is really awkward
Except for these few
There were a few more players in draft that year
Great players
Inside player with fifth overall pick in draft
Kevin Love
Now only in knights
You can also be alone
Rockets player with seventh pick
Eric Gordon
Most consistent 3-point shooter in Rockets
Tenth post
Brooke Lopez
It also used to be starting center for Lakers
The 24th tough guy from Congo
Serge Ibaka
Strong Defense, James' Man of Solid Steel
One of best centers in league with a 35th pick
DeAndre Jordan
It can be called biggest legacy of year
Yugoslav defender number 45
Goran Dragic
Best example of a low key capable faction and a counterattack
Now far from project of that year
Ten years have passed
Look back at these newcomers after ten years of hard work
Shouldn't draft picks be okay?
Brothers, if 2008 draft is changed
What is your what order?

He was most brutal and terrifying player in NBA! What level was Mason dunk king back then?
