Less than 10 people have done this in the past 20 years! How difficult is it to be selected as an All-Star as a second-round pick?

For talented potential rookies, being selected for the All-Star lineup is just the most basic requirement for their personal experience when entering the league. Growing up into a superstar player is the ultimate goal! However, for most NBA players, the All-Star stage seems to be more like a distant dream...

If most rookies in the lottery zone are optimistic about entering the All-Star, then players after the 15th pick in the first round have the potential to be unpopular at the beginning of the draft. Not to mention those rookies who have fallen into the second round...

However, reversals and counterattacks are always topics to talk about! There are always those players who are not optimistic about the second round, who have grown into the best among All-Stars and even the rookies of this year! Even if these players who were selected as All-Stars in the second round are rare...

Since the 2004-05 season to the 24-25 season, less than ten NBA players in the past 20 years have been selected as All-Stars as second-round picks. How difficult is this feat to achieve? In this issue, Sanpang will take a look at the players who have been selected as All-Stars in the NBA as a second-round pick in the past 20 years! (The ranking order shall be based on the time when he was selected for the league, I hope to know)

9, Paul Millsap

Draft ranking: 17th pick in the second round of 2006

total career data: 14536 points, 7673 rebounds, 2378 assists, 1327 steals, 1045 blocks

Career average data: 13.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks

Number of selected All-Stars: 4 times (13-14, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17)

Sanfat brief comment: The Eagles' Era was the most glorious period in Mishen's entire career, and his four All-Star experiences were selected as Hawks players. Although the data is inconspicuous, it is better than team basketball and stable performance!

8. Mark Gasol

Draft ranking: 18th pick in the second round of 2007

Total career data: 12514 points, 6604 rebounds, 2996 assists, 792 steals, 1254 blocks

Career average data: 14.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.4 blocks

Number of selected All-Stars: 3 times (11-12, 14-15, 16-17)

Sanpang brief comment: Xiao Jia never averaged 20+ per game in a single season, but he conquered the hearts of fans three times and was selected into the All-Star lineup! Looking back at White Bear's career, taking a foothold with defense is the foundation for his growth to become an All-Star.

7, DeAndre Jordan

Draft ranking: No. 5 pick in the second round of 2008

Total career data: 9483 points, 10875 rebounds, 1045 assists, 571 steals, 1567 blocks

Career average data: 8.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.5 steals, 1.4 blocks

Number of selected All-Stars: 1 time (16-17)

Brief comments of Sanfat: To be fair, it would be a fantasy to be selected as an All-Star based on his blue-collar attributes like Jordan. Although Jordan at his peak had great physical fitness, he seemed to be unconvincing after leaving the old man...

6, Golan Dragic

Draft ranking: 15th pick in the second round of 2008

total career data: 12,568 points, 2,816 rebounds, 4,405 assists, 876 steals, 167 blocks

Career average data: 13.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.2 blocks

Number of selected All-Stars: 1 times (17-18)

Sanfat brief comment: Due to Love's absence due to injury, Dragic successfully seized the opportunity to be selected as the only All-Star in his career. This is an affirmation of his personal ability. After all, the replacement player needs to be recognized by the coach before he can successfully enter the All-star stage!

5. Isaiah Thomas

Draft ranking: 30th pick in the second round of 2011

Total career data: 9723 points, 1320 rebounds, 2641 assists, 472 steals, 61 blocks

Career average data: 17.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.1 blocks

Number of selected All-Stars: 2 times (15-16, 16-17)

Sanfat brief comment: Thomas, who almost became the undraft, is undoubtedly the best example of slapping executives in all teams in the face! Thomas, who is extremely short, proves that basketball is not a sport exclusive to giants, and ordinary people also have the opportunity to become an All-Star player!

4. Draymond Green (active)

Draft ranking: No. 5 pick in the second round of 2012

Total career data: 7665 points, 6087 rebounds, 4948 assists, 1183 steals, 888 blocks

Career average data: 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks

Number of selected All-Stars: 4 times (15-16, 16-17, 17-18, 21-22)

Brief comments from Sanpang: For fans who question the ability of dream-chasing Green, Sanpang has always classified him as the ranks of ball blind. Without the organizational and defensive system supported by Green, how could the Warriors win the last four championship trophys? If you only look at the data, is Westbrook the best point guard in history?

3. Chris Middleton (active)

Draft ranking: 9th pick in the second round of 2012

Total career data: 12,901 points, 3,700 rebounds, 3,066 assists, 903 steals, 151 blocks

Career average data: 16.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.2 blocks

Number of selected All-Stars: 3 times (18-19, 19-20, 21-22)

Sanpang Brief Comment: Although injuries have affected Midou's personal abilities now, Middleton has well interpreted the highest level of the second in command in those seasons in the Bucks! Not competing for the limelight, but being able to stand up when the team needs it. The true value of this second round of pick!

2. Nikola Jokic (active)

Draft ranking: 11th pick in the second round of 2014

total career data: 16210 points, 8141 rebounds, 5383 assists, 949 steals, 536 blocks

Career average data: 21.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.7 blocks

Number of all-star selections: 7 times (18-19, 19-20, 20-21, 21-22, 22-23, 23-24, 24-25)

Sanpang brief comment: Today, Sanpang cannot believe how Teacher Yoo fell into the second round before he was selected... As the number one person in the world, you can't seem to see where the real limit of Teacher Yooo is. In addition to protecting the basket, Teacher Yue has top-level skills and abilities in all aspects!

1. Jaylen Brunson (active)

Draft ranking: 3rd pick in the second round of 2018

Total career data: 8821 points, 1549 rebounds, 2449 assists, 351 steals, 48 blocks

Career average data: 18.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.1 blocks

Number of All-Stars selected: 2 times (23-24, 24-25)

Sanfat brief comment: After leaving Dallas, Brunson played a superstar performance in Big Apple! As the only second-round All-Star player in the NBA in the past decade, Brunson's future prospects are limitless...

All-Stars' unsuccessful beads:

1, Monta Ellis

Draft ranking: 10th pick in the second round of 2005

total career data: 14,858 points, 2874 rebounds, 3,856 assists, 1,409 steals, 281 blocks

Career average data: 17.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.3 blocks

Peak season data: 25.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.4 blocks (09-10 season)

Sanfat briefly commented: Not only did he fail to enter the All-Stars per game, but he even failed to enter the top ten of the All-Stars backcourt voting in the 2009-10 season... It is conceivable how fierce the competition for the All-Stars in the Western Conference in those years!

2. Louis Williams

Draft ranking: No. 15, 2} 2005 2005 2016 career data: 15,593 points, 2484 rebounds, 3,789 assists, 952 steals, 192 blocks

Career average: 13.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.2 blocks Cap

Peak season data: 22.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.2 blocks (17-18 season)

Sanfat brief review: In the 17-18 season, Lou Wei only ranked 17th in the Western Conference backcourt All-Star voting. It has to be said that it is difficult for the sixth man to be selected as the All-Star... Even if you are the best sixth man in the history level, it will be difficult to escape.

3, Monterrez Harrell

Draft ranking: 2nd pick in the second round of 2015

total career data: 6220 points, 2588 rebounds, 675 assists, 269 steals, 404 blocks

Career average data: 12.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.8 blocks

Peak season data: 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.1 blocks (19-20 season)

Sanfat brief review: Harrell in the 19-20 season undoubtedly played the best season in his career, but he looked overshadowed in the star-studded Western Conference frontcourt... Melons of this season were not even selected for the All-Star lineup, let alone Harrell.

4. Norman Powell (active)

Draft ranking: 16th pick in the second round of 2015

total career data: 8157 points, 1648 rebounds, 941 assists, 507 steals, 162 blocks

Career average data: 13.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.3 blocks

Season data: 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.2 blocks (24-25 season)

Sanpang brief review: He lost to his teammate Harden by only one difference and missed the All-Star. You can imagine how strong and frustrated Powell was last season... Judging from the content of the game last season, Sanpang thinks that Powell is more worthy of an All-Star position than Harden. Even if he is criticized for Sanpang, he must stick to this point of view!

5, Ivecha Zubac (active)

Draft ranking: 2nd pick in the second round of 2016

total career data: 5953 points, 4742 rebounds, 794 assists, 218 steals, 575 blocks

Career average data: 10.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 steals, 1.0 blocks

Peak season data: 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.1 blocks (24-25 season)

Sanpang brief comment: There are many players who miss the All-Star because there are too few fans, but Sanpang believes that Zubac is undoubtedly the most regrettable one! Last season, Zunier was the team's best player most of the time. It's a pity that missed the All-Star...

Then the above is a list of all the second-round picks and three fat players in the NBA league who have been selected as All-Stars in the past 20 years. I wonder what you think of this?

At the beginning of the new year, everything will be renewed! Sanpang wishes all the audience all the wishes come true and good luck! It is said that the audience who likes, follows and supports Sanpang will become rich overnight in the next three days! I wonder if you have received such good luck? Don’t miss it if you pass by! It’s better to act than to move~~
