Do you remember the "second-wheel show" Brogdon who was once questioned by everyone? In the 2016 NBA Draft, he was selected by the Bucks with the 36th pick and became the rookie of the year. However, his stats are not impressive, averaging 10 per game2 points, 28 rebounds and 42 assists, which is the lowest performance among any rookie in the past. However, it is such a seemingly inconspicuous player who leads the trend of an era. Today, let's take a look back at the NBA rookies of 2016 and see how they made their mark in the league and wrote their own legends.
When it comes to the rookie of 2016, we can't talk about Ben Simmons without mentioning it. The talented player's failure to appear in the NBA in his rookie season due to injury has undoubtedly cast a shadow over his career. However, he did not give up and proved his strength with his hard work and persistence. After his comeback, he contributed an average of 15 per game8 points, 81 rebound and 8With 2 assists, he became the rookie of the year. Although he was criticized as a "chicken rib player" because of his shooting shortcomings, he was one of the hottest stars in the league at his peak, and was even selected to the All-Star team three times. Although Ben Simmons' form has declined due to injuries and other reasons, he is still a superhero in the hearts of fans.
In addition to Ben Simmons, there is another player whose counterattack is also worth our attention. He was Ingram. In his rookie season, his performance was not impressive, averaging only 94 points, 4 rebounds and 21 assist. However, as the game progressed, he gradually showed his potential. Especially after Russell's departure in the second season, his average per game increased to 161 point, 53 rebounds and 39 assists. Today, he has become one of the core players of the Pelicans, and his scoring is also stable at more than 20 points. Ingram's success tells us that as long as we don't give up and keep working hard, we will be able to usher in our own glorious moments.
Of course, we can't forget the players who have also excelled in the league. Jaylen Brown, for example, averaged just 6. per game in his rookie season6 points, excellent physical fitness but poor technique and shooting. However, after apprenticeship with Maddie, his skills improved dramatically, from 6 to 6 in his rookie seasonSix points improved to 26 last season6 points. Today, he has become one of the Celtics' top scorers and signed a five-year two-year contract in the offseasonA huge contract of 8.6 billion. Jaylen Brown's success tells us that as long as we have dreams, determination, and action, we will be able to achieve our goals.
In addition to them, the likes of Murray, Sabonis and Siakam are also writing their own legends on the NBA stage. Murray always showed hard solving ability at critical moments and helped the Nuggets win the championship; Sabonis has become the center of the interior and a playmaker for the Kings, handing over 20 percent this season2 points, 132 rebounds and 8a quasi-triple-double with 4 assists; Siakam, on the other hand, continued to hone his skills and teamed up with Leonard to help the Raptors win the first championship in team history. Their success teaches us that we should never underestimate our potential and abilities in the pursuit of our dreams.
When we look back at the 2016 edition, we see that they are not what we originally imagined. They may not have flashy stats and amazing performances, but they have proved their worth with their hard work and sweat. Their story tells us that in the NBA, strength is just as important as luck. Sometimes, we may need some time and patience to wait for the opportunity to come, but as long as we don't give up and keep working hard, we will definitely be able to usher in our own glorious moment.
