The small forward, who was ranked above Paul George and Hayward in the draft, must have had some kind of expectation from him.
In the 2010 draft, the Los Angeles Clippers, who held the No. 8 pick in the first round, selected the Nigerian small forward: Aminu, the Utah Jazz selected Hayward with the No. 9 pick, and the Indiana Pacers selected Paul George with the No. 10 pick.
Having said that Aminu is a member of the Nigerian royal family, whether he can play in the NBA may not be the most important thing, and his 11-season career only proves that he is only a qualified role player, with 81 appearances in his first season, averaging 56 points vs. 33 rebounds.
The team traded him and Carman and Gordon to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for Chris Paul, and in his three years in New Orleans, his appearance rate was extremely high, and all statistics have steadily improved, but his peak period was still four years with the Portland Trail Blazers, averaging nearly double digits in points per game, averaging seven rebounds per game, and sitting here in the starting small forward position!
Transferred to the Magic in the 2019 season, suffered a knee injury, and also announced the countdown to his NBA career. His height, reach, and agility allow him to defend multiple positions, but he is really not up to the task if he is a regular star, averaging 7With 5 points and 6 rebounds, it would be more appropriate to use him as a championship puzzle!
Now that he's out of the league, do you remember the player?
