The disappearing No. 10 pick, Carson is already the best choice, Davis of the 22nd class has left the league

In the annual NBA draft, teams want to have higher signing positions because this means higher chances and possibilities to sign potential new stars to become All-Stars in the future. However, in the past four years, people have not caught a lot of people with the 10th pick in the first round. Perhaps this is just luck, but the final result shows that it is not easy to make a choice with this pick.

As early as the 21st draft, the Grizzlies, who had the No. 10 draw, won the talented teenager Zaire Williams. As a draft year known as the once-in-a-year event, the team naturally wanted to equip Morant and Gallen Jackson with a perfect third leader. A number 3 position with enough size, full of projection ability and dynamic talent has become the first choice for the Grizzlies.

After Barnes and Kumingga were selected, the Grizzlies had been praying that Zaire Williams could drop to the 10th pick. Fortunately, in the 8th pick, the Magic chose Wagner Jr. (yes, the Magic Second Master who has signed a maximum salary now), while the Kings chose David Mitchell, who is more mature, and really left Zaire Williams to the Grizzlies.

However, this talented small forward who was previously known as the "McDie's second generation" had exposed his shortcomings in the confrontation and unstable shooting since he entered the league. The fiscal year averaged 8.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, and the 45% shooting percentage was already the most efficient time. Until the third season, Zaire still averaged only 8.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage dropped to 39.7%. Seeing this, the Grizzlies immediately traded it to the Nets. Zaire, who played for one season at the Nets, averaged 10 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1 steal per game, with a shooting percentage of 41.2%. Perhaps his next contract is more than the $6.13 million in the last year of his rookie contract.

The Wizards in 22 were even more unlucky. They used the 10th pick in the first round to choose the popular point guard Johnny Davis at the time. Davis' performance during college was quite inspiring, averaging 7 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in his freshman season, and soared to 19.7 points and 8.2 rebounds. People say that Johnny Davis could be the next Booker in the future as long as he can maintain his way of playing in college.

But sometimes the wishes are always good. Davis averaged only 5.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15 minutes per game, shooting 38.6%, while in the third season, he averaged 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds per game. After being traded, the Grizzlies cut it without any hesitation, and Johnny Davis is no longer visible in the league.

23 10th overall pick, the Thunder traded Carson Wallace from the Mavericks. As a backcourt player produced by the University of Kentucky, Carson's stability on the defensive end allowed him to quickly gain a foothold in the team. Although two seasons have passed, he averaged only 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game, his 47.4% shooting percentage and the intensity he showed during defense are enough to prove that he can stay in the league for a long time. As for whether he can reach the level of a star backcourt in the future, it depends more on his own opportunities. But at least he can become a well-deserved first place among the four 10-pick rookies in 21-24.

The 10th overall pick in 24th, the Jazz gave Jaylen Williams' younger brother Cody Williams, a potential forward with excellent physical condition but skilled in all aspects.

However, after a year of training, people found that Cody has potential, but this potential may be hidden too deep. Last season, the Jazz gave him 21.2 minutes of playing time per game, but Cody only had 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 32.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of only 25.9%. In the words of Jazz fans, they would rather not have this 10-pin and still have a four-year, $25 million contract for the team.

Looking back at the league's 10th pick in the past four years, except for the Thunder's Carson Wallace also has good strength, the other players may not stay in the NBA in two years. This year, the Suns chose a very potential inside player MaluAchi with the 10th pick in the first round. However, if they really have potential or over-marketing, they still have to start the game before people can see it clearly. Do you think MaluAchi may become the best choice for 10 picks in the past five years? Welcome to like, follow, and leave a message to discuss!
