980,000 US dollars per year! 40.34 million US dollars per year! The most unsuccessful top scorer is born, and Fat Tiger must be careful

Success is only a moment in life, but failure is the main theme. However, how to face failure divides people into different ways. Some people will be knocked down by failure, and some people will get up and continue moving forward! The NBA league is not short of talent, with top scorers every year, and there are also many top scorers in parallel. Looking at NBA history, Kwame Brown, Oden, Banyani and Bennett have all become household names for various reasons, and have faded out of the league early, making people mourn their misfortune and angry at their disagreement! Looking at the current NBA league, there are two incompetent No. 1 picks struggling and hesitating on the edge of the league, and their career path is getting narrower and narrower. Next, let us uncover their true colors together.

1 USD 980,000, and Fultz is unwilling to be the first top pick to win. Fultz is the No. 1 pick in 2017. He is talented but has constant injuries, from shoulder injuries to neurological thoracic export syndrome. In the first two seasons of his career, he only played 33 games for 76ers. Even the 76ers who "believe in the process" dare not believe that Fultz can realize his talent and traded it to the Magic early. Fultz seized the opportunity to play 72 games in the 19-20 season. The Magic was in a mess and rich and willful manner once gave Fultz a three-year, $50 million contract in the 2020 offseason, hoping that Fultz could be shamed and then be reborn. But what is the result? Fultz was ruined by injury after signing a big contract. He only played 8 games in the 20-21 season and only played 18 games in the 21-22 season...

The Magic team's muteness was suffering from Coptis Coptis. Even though Fultz played 103 games in the 22-24 season, he was still unemployed. It was not until the eve of last season's mid-term trading day that the Kings sent Fox away, and the backcourt was short of staff, and Fultz got a new offer, joining the Kings for 980,000 US dollars in one year! Fultz played 29 games for the Kings, averaging only 8.8 minutes per game, scoring only 2.9 points + 1 rebound + 1.3 assists per game, and shooting percentage was only 41.8%. In the words of fans, the Kings gave Fultz a chance, but Fultz is really useless! During this offseason, Fultz has been working hard to return to the NBA, but what is the reality? Fultz has always been ignored, and even rumors are almost zero. In a sense, Fultz has stepped out of the league with one foot, and his career is at its end!

$40.34 million in 11 years, Simmons' basic salary is stable

The second top pick who is not successful is Simmons! Simmons was the No. 1 pick in 2016 and also started his NBA career in Philadelphia. When he first entered the league, Simmons was tall, tall, long, and had a bright future with all-round skills. Like James, Simmons was at his peak when he debuted and was amazed; but unlike James, Simmons' pursuit of basketball skills is far lower than his pursuit of yacht supermodels and even fishing. Even so, Simmons successfully signed a five-year, $177 million maximum salary contract with the 76ers in the summer of 2019, and was highly expected. But what is the result? After receiving the big contract, Simmons quietly completed the giant's turn to "refusing to vote". He was injured continuously and could not pee in the same pot as the emperor, so he took the initiative to apply to leave Philadelphia.

Simmons was not reborn because of his turn to the Nets. On the contrary, he continued to lose himself in his comfort zone and doubts in New York! Last season, Simmons was in a contract year with an annual salary of up to $40.34 million, but it has no transaction value. The Nets had to buy it out! After the clarification period, Simmons joined the Clippers with a minimum salary and served as Harden's substitute! Together, Simmons played 51 games, averaging only 5 points + 4.7 rebounds + 5.6 assists per game. Who wouldn’t be so stupid? After the free agent trading market opened, Simmons never found a new job, but one thing is certain, even if Simmons can return to the league, he still has to accept the fact that the veteran's basic salary contract is stable, and only by putting down his figure can he have the possibility of rebirth.

The most unsuccessful top pick was born, and Fat Tigers should be careful

Whether it is Fultz or Simmons, they all have rare first-student talents, but they have signed big contracts after the rookie contract ends. Unfortunately, they are all ruined by injuries or not working hard and squandering their talents. They are either about to fade out of the NBA or are about to become basic-paid men! Fultz and Simmons are both the least successful No. 1 picks in the NBA today, which is enough to sound the alarm for other No. 1 picks! For example, Zion, the top scorer in 2019, could not control his mouth or his legs, and there were constant storms outside the court. Even though the Pelicans converted his $39.45 million contract to full guarantee in the new season, his contract in the last two years is still a bad guarantee! In other words, Fat Tiger should be careful and must learn from the lessons of Fultz and Simmons, otherwise, Fultz and Simmons's today may be Fat Tiger's tomorrow! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
