As strong as Yao Ming s career is only 9,247 points, 6 of the same rookies broke through the 10,000 mark, who are they

Basketball

In this summer league, Yang Hansen's performance was brilliant, and some fans who were far away from the ocean who were not optimistic about him now also changed their mentality. Although in order to truly adapt to the NBA game rhythm in the future, Yang Hansen still needs to improve his physical fitness, rebounds, etc. However, so far, Yang Hansen's NBA journey has been very smooth, and he has full hope of becoming the greatest Asian player in the NBA since Yao Ming.

mentioned Yao Ming, he was higher than Yang Hansen's draft pick at the time, and even though he was the No. 1 pick, many people still don't like his development in the NBA. As a result, after Yao Ming entered the NBA, he not only successfully gained a foothold here, but also became one of the best centers in the league at his peak. He has also been selected for the All-Star and the Best Team for many times, and he has also played 25+ points per game. Unfortunately, Yao Ming's NBA career was too short. Due to injuries, he only played here for 8 seasons, which also led to his total score being only frozen at 9247 points.

Although Yao Ming ran for the 2002 year of draft, there were still six players in this class who scored more than 10,000 marks, and one of them even played in a stronger state than Yao Ming at his peak!

6.Nene (10909 points)

Average of 11.3 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals in his career

Nene was the No. 7 pick in the first round, so he entered the team's core rotation in his first year in the league. In his rookie season, he averaged 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game. However, compared to a player like Yao Ming who can be used as the core of the inside, Nene's style of playing is more like a blue-collar worker. His offensive end is mainly about eating cakes, which greatly limits the upper limit he can reach. After

, Nene played for nearly 10 seasons. During his best performance in the year, he averaged 14.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.3 blocks, and his shooting percentage was as high as 60.4%. However, this state did not last long, and then Nene was traded to the Wizards. From this time on, his state gradually declined. Later, when he joined the Rockets, Nene basically transformed into a substitute inside player. Coupled with Capela's rise, he finally played the role of a locker room mentor. Unfortunately, the Rockets missed the opportunity to reach the Finals in 2018, and this was also the most promising season in Nene's career to win the Finals ring.

5. Dunleavy (11048 points)

Average of 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his career

In 2002, the Warriors selected Dunleavy with the Tanhua lottery. He averaged only 5.7 points per game in his rookie season, but later he made significant progress when the team gave him more opportunities. In the 2004-2005 season, he averaged 13.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1 steal. Dunleavy, who was traded by the Warriors, played for teams such as the Pacers, and his peak state was played by the Pacers.

Dunleavy averaged 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal and 2 three-pointers in the 2007-2008 season. Unfortunately, he had just reached his peak and encountered injuries the next year, so he could not continue his previous form. Later, Dunleavy played for the Bucks and other teams, but his form has not improved any further. Finally, he ended his career in 2017.

4. Prince (11272 points)

Average of 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in his career. In the early 21st century, the Pistons were still one of the league's championship teams. After they selected Prince in 2002, the team also trained him to become a top defensive player. In his second season of his career, Prince won the championship with the Pistons. That year, he averaged 9.9 points, 6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. As a sophomore rookie, his performance this season was undoubtedly beyond expectations. After

Prince was selected into the All-Defensive Team 4 times. During his peak period, he also averaged 14.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Later, the Pistons began to rebuild. Due to his age, Prince was no longer suitable for this team, so he was traded away. Prince left the Pistons and played for the Grizzlies, Celtics, and Timberwolves. In addition, he also returned to the Pistons for a brief period, but unfortunately he still failed to end his career here in the end.

3. Caron Butler (12430 points)

Average of 14.1 points, 5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals in his career, after entering the league in 2002, Butler scored 15.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals in the first year. Although his condition fluctuated the following year, considering that he was still very young, his future is still worth looking forward to. However, in the offseason in 2004, the Heat got the opportunity to trade O'Neal, so they had to send Butler away and join Butler, who joined the Lakers. He only stayed here for a short season, and then he joined the Wizards.

In the Wizards, Butler ushered in his peak. In his nearly five seasons of playing here, the worst performance averaged 17.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game. Later, he even performed as an All-Star for two consecutive years. Later, Butler, who joined the Mavericks, was lucky enough to get a ring, but he didn't play in a single playoff game that year due to injury. Butler played for many other teams, and his form continued to decline during this period. In the end, he ended his NBA career in 2016..

2. Boozer (13976 points)

Average of 16.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his career, although Boozer was only a second round pick that year, under the training of the Cavaliers, he quickly made a name in the NBA. In the second year of his career, he averaged 15.5 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal per game. At that time, the Cavaliers were interested in renewing the contract with Boozer, so the team did not implement the team option, but at this time, Boozer suddenly repented. In the end, he did not renew the contract with the Cavaliers and joined the Jazz, which also gave him the nickname "Reverse Boy".

However, Boozer is still very strong, and he still has good performances at the Jazz. At his peak, he averaged 20+10 per game for two consecutive years, and the Jazz where he was at once became the victim of Yao Ming and the Rockets. Boozer, who later joined the Bulls and Lakers, his condition declined early, but compared to himself, in fact, he averaged 11.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in his final retirement season.

1. Sir (15994 points)

Average of 18.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in his career. If he reordered the 2002 draft, the only one who could threaten Yao Ming's No. 1 pick is Sir. He was selected by the Suns in the 9th pick in the first round, and here he has become one of the best inside players in the league. At his peak, Sir Alex has played many seasons averaging 20+. With his help, the Suns have also achieved the first record in the regular season league. Therefore, he has not only been selected for the All-A-Second Team 4 times, but also selected for the All-A-Second Team 1 time.

Later transferred to the Knicks, Xiao S was still averaging 25.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 blocks per game, but centers like him were difficult to avoid injuries, so his career also showed a significant decline due to injuries. Originally, 30 was the golden age of an athlete, but at this age, Xiao S was averaging 14.2 points, 5 rebounds, and he was only 33 years old when he left the NBA.
