Top 10 Rearrangements of Drafts in 2001: A strong like Gasol is only the second place, and the No. 28 picks counterattack to become the No. 1 pick

When it comes to the 2001 NBA draft, the most impressive thing is perhaps the No. 1 pick Kwame Brown, but he has always been known for being a parallel product. Even though even Jordan was very optimistic about his prospects in the NBA, this did not make him perform as expected. His average per game in his career was only 6.6 points. Therefore, in the next top ten re-order of the 2001 draft, Brown definitely failed to make the list. So let’s take a look at which players are on this list!

10. Richard Jefferson (formerly No. 13 pick in the first round)

After Jefferson entered the league in 2001, he immediately became the core rotation of the Nets. With his help, the team reached the Finals for two consecutive years. During this period, at the age of 22 in the 2003 playoffs, he also averaged 14.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Later, after Jefferson reached his peak, he still played many seasons of 20+ per game in the regular season. Later, he went to multiple teams for the championship. Finally, in 2016, he finally won a championship ring with the Cavaliers. At the age of 35 that year, he averaged 5.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, which made his career a complete success.

9. Gerald Wallace (formerly No. 25th pick in the first round)

Wallace was positioned as an all-round warrior on the basketball court. He had a balanced offense and defense and could influence the game from many aspects. In addition, his physical fitness was excellent, so he could always make dunks with full visual impact. In Wallace's career, in addition to winning the steal king and being selected for the best team at his peak, he was also selected for the All-Star. That season, he played for the Bobcats, and averaged 18.2 points, 10 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in the regular season.

8. Memito Oku (formerly No. 9 pick in the second round)

Oku from Turkey is different from most of the inside lines of that era. He mainly shoots and opens offensive space on the court. At his peak, Oku averaged double-digit points per game for six consecutive seasons. The best performance in the year could average 18 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Later, he was selected into the All-Star in the 2006-2007 season with his average of 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.6 three-pointers. At that time, fans who watched more NBA games knew that Oku had caused trouble to the Rockets led by Yao Ming, and his projection was indeed difficult to deal with in that era.

7. Battier (formerly No. 6 pick in the first round)

Battier is very popular in any era. He can shoot three-pointers on the offensive end and defend multiple positions on the defensive end. At his peak, Battier was undoubtedly one of the best 3Ds in the league. Therefore, he was not only selected for the best team, but also helped the Heat win two championships. In those years, his shooting could be said to be a big hit. For example, in the 2013 tiebreak, Battier narrowly defeated his opponent and won the series by winning the series with three-pointer from 6 of 8 shots.

6. Joe Johnson (formerly No. 10 pick in the first round)

Joe Johnson is one of the most popular stars in the 2001 class. He is mainly known for his singles ability, so his nickname is also called "Single Joe". At his peak, Joe Johnson was selected into the All-Star 7 times and was also selected into the All-Series. He once averaged 20+ per game for five consecutive seasons. During the 2006-2007 season, he averaged 25 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 2.1 three-pointers.

5. Zach Randolph (formerly No. 19th pick in the first round)

After Randolph entered the league, he averaged 20+10 per game in his third season of his career, but due to the team's rebuilding ineffectiveness, he later left the Trail Blazers. Later, Randolph joined the Grizzlies, where he returned to his peak. He averaged 20+10 per game for two consecutive seasons in 2010 and 2011. With his help, the Grizzlies have become one of the toughest teams in the league. He was selected as a Grizzlies player both times.

4. Tyson Chandler (formerly No. 2 pick in the first round)

Chandler's style of playing is a typical blue-collar center. In addition to eating cakes on the offensive end, he has a relatively stable second attack. In contrast, Chandler's defensive value is far above offense. In Chandler's career, he has been selected as the Best Defensive Team three times, and he has not only been selected as the Best Defensive Team one time, but also won the Best Defensive Player in 2012. In addition, in the 2010-2011 season, Chandler was also the Mavericks' starting center. He also made an indelible contribution to the team's championship that year. He averaged 8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and he repeatedly "wiped his butt" to Nowitzki on the defensive end.

3. Arenas (formerly No. 2 pick in the second round)

On Arenas' basketball road, he has always been unpopular. Even his father, as a basketball coach, thought that he had no talent and was not worthy of his own training. However, under this circumstance, Arenas still made it to the NBA step by step with his own efforts. Although he was just a second round pick, he still did not give up. After entering the league, he quickly made a name for himself. After joining the Wizards, he reached his peak. Here Arenas was selected into the All-Star and Best Team. During the 2005-2006 season, he even scored luxurious data averaged 29.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2 steals per game. Unfortunately, due to his personal personality and injuries, he also fell early. He was less than 30 years old when he left the NBA..

2. Gasol (formerly No. 3 pick in the first round)

When he played for the Grizzlies in his early career, Gasol was criticized a lot. Although he was selected as the All-Star there, because the team's record has not been ideal for many years, many people are not optimistic about him. It was not until Gasol joined the Lakers and joined forces with Kobe that he finally allowed the outside world to see his true strength. With his help, the team reached the finals for three consecutive years, and during this period he even won the 2009 and 2010 championships. In terms of personal honors, Gasol was not only selected as the All-Stars many times, but also selected as the Best Team 4 times. Therefore, when Gasol retired, he also got the treatment of a retired jersey by the Lakers as he wished.

1. Parker (formerly No. 28 pick in the first round)

Parker, who almost fell to the second round, quickly gained a foothold in the league under the training of the Spurs. In his second season of his career, he followed the team to win the championship. That year, the 20-year-old Parker averaged 14.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Later, with Parker's help, the Spurs won many championships one after another. During this period, he was elected as the FMVP in 2007, and he was also selected as the Best Team and All-Stars many times.
