Stronger Jewish was only the No. 12 show in 22 years. Who are the first 11 people? How to develop after entering the league
6:14pm, 31 May 2025【Basketball】
As a core member who helped the Thunder rise, Jewe has played better and better every year since he was selected by the team in 2022. This season, Jewe averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game, so he was successfully selected as the All-Star, and with his help, the team won the league's unique 68 wins, so he is likely to be selected into the All-Series for the first time. However, as strong as Jewe, when he participated in the 2022 NBA Draft, he was not selected until the 12th pick in the first round. So what kind of development did the 11 players who were selected before him have entered the league? Let’s take a look together!
11.Jiang
Average 4.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1 assist in his career, Jiang, who also played for the Thunder, has shown a lot of dismal development compared to Jewe. As of now, his best performance was in the rookie season. At that time, he averaged 4.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, and all three data were career highs. Later, with the rise of the Thunder, Ji'ang's chances of playing became fewer, and he himself was relatively fragile, so his development over the years was completely lower than expected. Although he was only 21 years old, it was difficult for him to make a name for himself in the future.
10. Johnny Davis
Davis is also a parallel lottery pick. He played for three seasons with the Wizards. During this period, his best performing rookie averaged only 5.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1 assist in the game, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%. Later, he was traded to the Grizzlies. Davis had not played a game for the team, and was then cut. It was basically unrealistic for him to return to the NBA.
9. Sohan has averaged 11.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his career. Sohan's style of playing is the type of a unimaginable forward. He can defend, grab rebounds, eat cakes on the court, and he can handle the ball in a little bit, but except for defense, the rest of these skills are not excellent. However, because Sohan's style of play is relatively balanced, players like him are still quite popular in the NBA. He has always been a core rotation in the team, but if his shooting is always at this level, his playing time will still be reduced later.
8. Daniels averaged 8.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 steals in his career. When he played for the Pelicans in the first two seasons of his career, Daniels' performance can be said to be mediocre, with no achievements on the offensive end. Although he had outstanding performance on the defensive end, he was still not a top defensive player overall. However, since he was traded to the Hawks last year, Daniels has completely exploded. This season, he averaged 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3 steals per game. He has made significant progress on both offense and defense, and has become a popular candidate for the fastest-progressing player. Moreover, after the regular season, Daniels won the steal king without any suspense, and it is certain that he is selected for the best defensive lineup now.
7. Sharp has averaged 14.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his career. As one of the best dynamic talented players among the 2022 rookies, Sharp's athletic ability is very amazing. He has contributed a lot of dunk scenes after playing in the NBA for three years. In addition, Sharp's practical ability is also improving. This season, he averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, but his outside shooting stability needs to be improved. His three-point shooting percentage in the regular season is only 31.1%. If this cannot be made, he will be easily targeted by his opponent in the future. Fortunately, he is only 21 years old, so he still has plenty of time to hone his shooting.
6.Matherine, who averaged 15.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in his career, has also outstanding physical fitness. His ball-holding ability allows him to easily gain a foothold in the NBA. In his rookie season, he became the core rotation of the Pacers, and that year he averaged 16.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. On the defensive end, Matherine not only knows how to use her body, but also has high enthusiasm. In many games, he will use the method of leading the defense throughout the game to defend his opponent's core players. On the playoff stage this year, Matherine also proved that she could also play the role, and with his help, the Pacers are expected to enter the Eastern Conference Finals again.
5. Ivy averaged 16.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists in his career. After choosing Cunningham, the big ball-held core in 2021, the Pistons selected Ivy, who was also a point guard in 2022. At the beginning, the two were indeed incompatible on the court, and their performance was not ideal at that time. However, this season the Pistons seem to have found the instruction manual for Cunningham and Ivey. This season, not only did their chemistry improve, but the team has become a playoff-level team. Unfortunately, Ivy only played 30 games in the regular season and was reimbursed for the season, and the Pistons eventually fell in the first round. However, after all, he and Cunningham are both young, so the failure this season is nothing.
4. Keegan Murray averaged 13.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in his career
As an older rookie who is in combat power, Murray has secured his starting position in the rookie season. His ability to shoot three-pointers and defend is also very consistent with the Kings' system.. In the rookie season, Murray averaged 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.6 three-pointers. With his help, the team achieved third place in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, the team lost to the Warriors in the end that year due to insufficient experience in the playoffs. Murray's performance in this round of the series was not good. He averaged only 9.7 points per game, and the three-point output efficiency also shrank significantly compared to the regular season. Moreover, Murray has made very little progress in the technical level in the past two seasons, and his three-pointers are not as accurate as the rookie season, so his performance in the past two years is not satisfactory. The team missed the playoffs for two consecutive years and basically announced that they could reorganize their lineup at any time.
3. Jabarry Smith Jr., averaging 13 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists in his career, 2.11 meters tall, Smith Jr. is considered a large 3D style of play. His lack of control ability has led to his upper limit that is a role player. In addition, his shooting is far from the top level. As of now, his career three-point shooting percentage is only 34%. Due to too few things that can be done on the offensive end, Smith Jr.'s playing time in the playoffs this year was reduced to the early 20 minutes. In addition, there were too few players who could create projection space for him, so he did not even have many mobile phones on the court. Therefore, in the end, he could only contribute 7.4 points per game, and the team was eliminated in the first round.
2.Homegren
Average 16.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 blocks in his career, As one of the most optimistic big rookies in the 20s, Homgren's excellent mobility and shooting characteristics are very consistent with the playing style of this era, but he has suffered many injuries since entering the league. Therefore, he only played 114 games in the regular season in three years, which obviously also affected his progress rate. After the Thunder made it to the playoffs this season, Homegren's performance has also attracted much attention. So far, he averaged 16.8 points, 8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1 steal, 2.8 blocks and 2.2 three-pointers. It can only be said that his performance is indeed both good and bad. As of now, he cannot support the offensive output of the three leaders of the championship team, but if he looks at it comprehensively, his performance is basically OK.
1.Bankelo has averaged 22.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists in his career. As the No. 1 pick in the 2022 class, Bankelo has also proved that he is indeed the strongest player of this class in recent years. This season, he can average 25.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. If it weren't for the injury, he was selected as the All-Star and the Best Team. In the past two years, Benkairo's performance has also been very impressive, so he averaged 28 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in his playoff career. It seems that he may really hope to lead the Magic to a revival in the future.
