In the long history of the NBA, every draft carries the hope of the team's rise and rejuvenation, but not many players can become the evergreen in the NBA like James. They still dominate the NBA stadium at the age of 40. Many talented stars fade out of the league early due to injuries. The 2010 draft is no exception. Injuries are like ruthless demons, wantonly invading many players of this class, making their careers full of ups and downs and regrets. Now, with the 2010 NBA No. 1 pick John Wall announced his retirement, Paul George has become the only player in this draft to still play in the NBA in active service. Looking back at the careers of this draft player, injuries have become their common "nightmare".
No. 1 pick: John Wall
John Wall, the 2010 pick, was once regarded as the hope star of the Wizards' revival. He has speed and excellent organizational skills, and was selected as the first team of the Rookie in his rookie season. In his career, he was selected into the All-Star five times, one for the All-Squad third team and the All-Defensive second team. Under his leadership, the Wizards became a force that cannot be ignored in the East. However, injuries quietly arrived at the end of 2018. A heel injury seemed ordinary, but it became a turning point in his career. This injury caused him to be reimbursed for the season, and then he suffered a series of unfortunate events such as surgical infections, slipping and rupture of the Achilles tendon.
These injuries are like heavy shackles, which have made the point guard who once sailed on the court gradually lose the light of his past. Although he later went to the Rockets and the Clippers, trying hard to find his former self, his body could no longer support his playing style after many serious injuries. He played 647 games in his career, and averaged 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Although his data is impressive, his injury has brought his career to the finish line too early.
No. 2 pick: Evan Turner
Evan Turner
As the No. 2 pick, he played in 705 games in his career, averaging 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. His career was relatively dull, and although he did not suffer as devastating injuries as Wall, he also failed to meet the expected heights of the second-tier show. After several teams, his influence in the league gradually weakened and eventually faded out of people's horizon.
Tanhua Show: Derek-Feworth has played 790 games in his career, averaging 10.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game. He is a stable inside player and has made good contributions on the defensive end. However, his career has also been plagued by injuries, and he missed the game many times due to injuries, which to some extent affected his development and failed to become the top insider in the league.
5th pick: Cousins, as the former All-Star center, is undoubtedly the most dazzling center in the 2010 draft. He played 654 games in his career, averaging 19.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and his data is luxurious. At his peak, Cousins had strong dominance in the interior. He had rich offensive methods, excellent rebounding ability, and a certain passing vision. However, injuries ruthlessly destroyed his career. He suffered a major injury like a torn Achilles tendon, which had a huge blow to his athletic ability and physical condition. Although he worked hard to recover after his injury and tried to return to the field, he could never get back to his peak form. The last time he appeared in the NBA was three years ago, and the injury caused the talented center to leave the basketball stage he loved prematurely. Now Cousins can only hang out in some "wild courts" in China.
9 pick: Hayward
Hayward is also a talented player. He played in 835 games in his career, averaging 15.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1 steal per game. He gradually grew into a core player of the team during his time as a Jazz, showing comprehensive skills and excellent leadership. But in his first game with the Celtics in 2017, he suffered a serious injury like a fracture of his left tibia. This injury not only made him miss a large number of games, but also had a huge impact on his psychology. Despite his efforts to recover and return to the field, injuries still had a profound impact on his career, and he eventually had no choice but to retire.
10: Paul - George
Paul - George, as the only player in the 2010 draft, his career has not been smooth. He has played in 908 games in his career, averaging 20.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game. In a team match between Team USA in 2014, he suffered an open fracture of his right tibia and fibula, which almost everyone was worried about his career. However, Paul George showed tenacious perseverance and strong fighting spirit. After a long and arduous recovery process, he successfully returned to the field and still maintained a high level of competition. He has played for the Pacers, Thunder, Clippers and other teams. He joined the 76ers last season but suffered injuries and suffered inexplicable injuries during the offseason. His future career is worrying.
In addition to the above players, some players in the 2010 draft also made their mark in the league. For example, No. 4 Wesley Johnson played 609 games in his career, averaging 7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game; No. 6 Yudu played 384 games in his career, averaging 3.5 points, 2.9 rebounds per game; No. 7 Good Show Monroe and No. 8 Aminu were all affected by injuries and withdrew from the league.. In addition, Bledsoe, No. 18, played 756 games in his career, averaging 13.7 points per game. He was full of passion in the game, but his injuries also made him miss the game many times, which affected his continued development. Whiteside, No. 33, played 511 games in his career, averaging 12.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. He played highlights during the Heat, but injuries also hindered him from further improving his position in the league. According to statistics, George is the only one in the top 23 rookies in 2010. Many talented players ended their careers too early or their condition declined sharply due to injuries. By contrast, Paul George's persistence seems particularly precious. Not only did he overcome serious injuries, he also continued to prove himself on the field and became the last flag of this draft player. Perhaps, the 2010 draft was really a class that was ruined by injuries!
