Derrick Favors & the mystery of the 3rd draft pick: What’s in a Number?
In order to be the 3rd pick in the NBA draft you either have to be able to show a team something positive (be it talent, personality, or upside), or have Michael Jordan be a GM of a team. It’s hard to argue with the number of successful 3rd picks in the draft – this pick is usually money. For every
Adam Morrison
,
Darius Miles
,
Raef LaFrentz
, and Benoit Benjamin you have a
Dominique Wilkins Jersey, Buck Williams, Michael Jordan,
Grant Hill
, Penny Hardaway,
Chauncey Billups
,
Baron Davis
,
Carmelo Anthony
,
Deron Williams
,
Al Horford
,
O.J. Mayo
, and Pau Gasol. There’s a 3:1 ratio between All-Stars to busts at this echelon.
Three is a good place to draft, if for nothing else than the chance to take a solid player that’s not a huge question mark. You’re not reaching for a guy with upside, or taking a chance on a foreign dude here. This spot is most reserved for a known quantity, someone who produced in college, and is more than likely to be a player in this league. Even after factoring in the Chris Washburns, Benoit Benjamins, and Adam Morrisons
Dominique Wilkins Jersey from this pick – since 1981 till now (30 years) this pick has averaged 14.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg, and 3.0 apg over their NBA careers. That’s not too shabby.
Derrick Favors
is in the middle of this rookie campaign, one in which he was traded by the team that scouted him, interviewed him, and drafted him. This is a rare occurrence, but one must recognize that it’s not everyday that you have a chance to trade a rookie and a middling level starter for an Olympian / All-NBA type. Truly, Derrick Favors being traded as a rookie had more to do with the availability of Deron Williams than it had to do with Favors projected future development.
