As strong as Bain is only the No. 30 show in 20 years. Who is the top ten in the same class? The second place is the biggest player

Since joining the Grizzlies in 2020, Bain's progress can be said to have far exceeded expectations. He was only the No. 30 pick in the first round, but he became the core player of the team step by step. Last season, Bain averaged 23.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1 steal per game. This ability to fight is undoubtedly close to the All-Star level, but unfortunately, injuries in the past two years have been plaguing him and the team. Now that Bain has joined the Magic, his offensive talent will be more important in this team, after all, the Magic's past projection was really too thrilling. So now looking back at the 2020 draft, how are the players who were selected in the top ten picks at that time compared to Bain's development in the NBA? Let’s take a look next!

10. Jaylen Smith

Average of 8.5 points, 5.3 rebounds in his career

Jaylen Smith is a short insider with good physical talent. With his outstanding physical fitness, he is also very good at eating cakes. After the Pacers scored a certain amount of money, Jaylen Smith also signed a three-year, $27 million contract with the Bulls last year. With only 15 minutes of playing time per game this season, he can contribute 8.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1 assist per game, but judging by his playing style, his ceiling is probably the case.

9. Avdia averaged 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his career. As a ball-holding striker, players with Avdia's style of play are still a scarce resource in the league. Especially after he performed better this season, more and more teams coveted him in the trading market. This season's regular season Avdia averaged 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1 steal. His performance on both offense and defense is remarkable, but because of this, the Trail Blazers are not ready to trade him. After all, he is only 24 years old, and his contract in the next three years will be very cost-effective, so the team will most likely keep him and rebuild it together.

8. Obitoping averaged 8.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in his career. Toping's dynamic talent can be said to be one of the best in the 20th class, but due to his unstable shooting and defense, his performance in the Knicks has always been tepid, and he was eventually traded to the Pacers. However, after joining the new team, Toppin made progress here. Although his performance was still unstable in some cases, his offensive ceiling was still very high among role players. Even on the playoff stage, he had performed 18+ in a single game, which is why Carlisle was willing to trust him.

7. Killian Hayes averaged 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals in his career, Hayes is undoubtedly a good lottery player. He was selected as the 7th pick in the first round, with only 8.1 points per game and only 38.3% of his shooting percentage. The shortcomings in outside shooting have become the biggest problem restricting his development in the league. Hayes only played for the Nets for 6 regular seasons this season, and he often played in the Development League the rest of the time. However, considering that he is still only 23 years old, he still has the chance to return to the NBA, but the premise is that he can practice a certain shooting.

6. Okonggu averaged 9.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in his career. Since entering the league, Okonggu has been improving, and he has squeezed out Capela and become the starting center of the Hawks. This season, he averaged 13.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Of course, this is inseparable from Trae Young's bonus to him. However, Aokonggu's shortcomings are also obvious. His defensive limitations are visible to the naked eye. Assuming he plays for a strong team, this point will definitely be more likely to be targeted, so overall his upper limit is not high.

5. Ocorro

Average of 8.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his career, As Ocorro, the No. 5 pick, is another lottery player. The reason why he cannot realize his talent in the NBA is that his shooting is too bad, his output and efficiency are very average, and he can basically only shoot for fixed-point open positions on the offensive end, which makes him an offensive black hole as soon as he comes on the court. Therefore, this year's playoffs, Ocorro was once close to being DNP, and now he is even put on the trading shelves, but obviously his market is not good. The defender with obvious offensive shortcomings is very easy to be eliminated in this era.

4. Patrick Williams averaged 9.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in his career. Since Paway entered the league, his performance has been very stable, and his personal data has basically hovered around 9+4 per game, but this obviously does not meet the expectations of the outside world. Especially considering that the Bulls signed a five-year, 90 million contract with Paway last year, his performance this season is even more disappointing, with an average of 9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, a shooting percentage of less than 40%. None of his technical abilities in all aspects are top-notch. Considering his performance over the years, it is obviously difficult to expect him to suddenly get enlightened in the future.

3. Ball averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.5 steals in his career. As one of the most popular players in the 20th class, Ball had a great reputation before entering the NBA due to his father's actions. After entering the league, Ball quickly became famous and was selected as the All-Star in his second season of his career. That year he almost led the Hornets to the playoffs. However, although Ball's data became better and better later, due to injuries and lineup, he and the Hornets have been able to linger in the corner of the East, so the outside world is becoming more and more disappointed with him. Now, when it comes to the future league scene, they no longer think of Ball's name..

2. Wiseman

Average of 9.1 points, 5.6 rebounds in his career

Speaking of the biggest parallel player in the 20th class, it is undoubtedly James Wiseman. Because he was selected by the Warriors who lacked the inside, the outside world had high expectations for him. Considering that he was not only talented, but also had seniors like Curry and Green as mentors, no one expected him to be so thorough. In the end, Wiseman was traded for less than three years with the Warriors, and his development did not improve at all. Last year, he became the point where he could only sign a basic salary if he wanted to continue to stay in the league. Unfortunately, after joining the Pacers, Wiseman was reimbursed for a season due to a torn Achilles tendon after joining the Pacers, which obviously makes it even harder for him to gain a foothold in the league.

1. Edwards averaged 23.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals in his career. As the No. 1 pick, five years have passed, and he is obviously still the best player in this class. Since joining the Timberwolves, while Edwards has made continuous personal progress, the team's record has also improved significantly due to his arrival. In recent years, not only are the worst record in the first round of the playoffs, but they have also reached the division finals for two consecutive years. Even Garnett did not achieve such a team-leading result here. Edwards, now 23 years old, is one of the few young generations who takes into account both strength and popularity, so he is also a potential alliance appearance in the future.
