In the year of the draft, half of the league is willing to play a bad game! Only these four players in NBA history

In NBA history, there are indeed four players who can be said to be talented, and their reputations have spread throughout the United States during college or in high school. In order to get them, many NBA teams deliberately lost and got the No. 1 pick. Let's take a look at which four players?

Duncan

Duncan was already a player with offense and defense. He averaged 20.8 points, 14.7 rebounds, and 3.29 blocks. His psychological quality was extremely stable and he had a big heart level. The scout gave Duncan full score without shortcomings. He was a real cornerstone player. Duncan participated in the mysterious 1997. In order to compete for Duncan, five teams played badly. The Celtics won 15 wins. The Spurs deliberately hid Robinson in 20 wins. The Grizzlies won 14 wins and the Nuggets won 21 wins. In the end, he was lucky enough to be attached to the Spurs and was drawn by the Spurs.

James

James averaged five statistics in high school, including 28 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 1.7 blocks. It can be said that James has shown great dominance. Coupled with his top physical talent and top influence, many teams also played badly in order to get James in the 2003 draft year. The Cavaliers won 17 wins, the Nuggets won 17 wins, and the Cavaliers even traded as combat players to be the bottom. As a result, the No. 1 pick was drawn by the Cavaliers.

Wiggins averaged five statistics during his college years, including 17.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 block and 1.2 steals. Wiggins was regarded as James' successor at that time, with a top dynamic talent, and the scout report believed that Wiggins' upper limit was immeasurable. In order to win Wiggins in the 2014 draft, many teams also played badly. In order to get him, eight teams in the league had no more than 30 wins, which was the most played badly in NBA history. In the end, the No. 1 pick was drawn by the Cavaliers, and then the Timberwolves traded.

Wenbanyama

Wenbanyama's five statistics during college were: 21.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.4 steals, 3 blocks, shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage were 56.0% and 33.0% respectively. With a height of 2.24 meters and amazing wingspan, he has forward speed and defender ball control skills, and is epoch-making talented by scout Chen Wei. In order to get Wenban Yama, many teams will also be bad in 2023, such as Thunder, Magic, Pacers, Pistons, Spurs and other teams. In the end, the No. 1 pick was drawn by the Spurs in 2023.

It can be said that these four players have already fulfilled their talents to Duncan and James. Wiggins has dragged down his development due to his attitude problem, and it also proves that there is risk in playing badly. Wenban Yama can be said to have carried the hope of the Spurs' revival after Duncan retired. He entered the league for two seasons. He performed well in the rookie season. He was reimbursed after playing 41 games in the second season, and it will take time to test the future.
