A flash in the pan! Those NBA shining meteors!

The NBA has never lacked geniuses. Every year, hundreds of basketball players come from the world to chase the highest basketball hall. But in contrast, there are also many geniuses who quickly fell into the crowd after a flash of time, and some of them are really a pity to think about it. Below

, we will take a look at several players who have debuted and recall the meteor moments that have passed by.

Miccaway

Peak data:

16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists

Career data:

10.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists

2013 is not considered a year of draft, but it still gave birth to many core players at the starting level, and there are even high-level stars, such as Antetokounmpo at the MVP level, Gobert's Best Defensive, Kumamba Oladipo, etc.

But overall, the 2013 draft is one of the poor talent in recent years. The No. 1 pick is the shocking Anthony Bennett, and the best rookie exceeded everyone's expectations, giving Michael Carter Williams, who was selected by the 76ers in the first round.

Before running for the election, McAvey was named the second only to Trae Burke in the echelon in this year's echelon. He has both offensive awareness and passing vision, but his shortcomings are also quite obvious. His shooting stability is serious and his turnover data is not well controlled.

Combined with rookie season data, McAvi averaged 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game. He ranked first in the rookie list in all four data, but his shooting percentage was only 40.5%, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 26.4%, ranking 19th and 23rd in the rookie list respectively.

Behind the seemingly omnipotent data, there is a large amount of shooting rights, and the 76ers were in the bad stage at that time, and it seemed that in order to train him, he averaged up to 34.5 minutes per game. But in the second season, the Sixers did not choose to stay in the team for training because McArve won the best rookie. Instead, they sent him to the Bucks in a three-party trade to exchange for more first-round picks.

After joining the Bucks, McAve has not made significant progress, and his three-point and shooting problems still exist. What's more serious is that McArve, who plays the defender, is completely contrary to modern basketball in his personal style. It is difficult for a team to accept him. He started his wandering career early. He played for as many as six teams in his eight years. On April 10, 2023, after playing for the Magic, he never appeared in the NBA again.

Branden Jennings

Peak data:

19.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists

Career data:

14.1 points, 3 rebounds, 5.7 assists

Bucks fans are definitely familiar with the name Jennings. The 10th name called in the 2009 draft. Judging from the draft pick, Jennings is not inferior to Curry, DeRozan and other first-tier stars who dominate the league. At the beginning, Jennings was the new core that the Bucks were most anticipated before Antetokounmpo. Everyone was expecting him to change the league structure in the future, but unfortunately, it turned into a flash of shooting stars in the end.

In his career rookie season, Jennings scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists. Looking back at the first month of the rookie year, his offensive feel is quite hot. He averaged 25.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.1 steals in the first ten games. With the star level, it is hard to believe that this is a fledgling 20-year-old.

In the seventh game, facing Curry leading the Warriors, Jennings scored 55 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game, with a shooting percentage of 61.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 87.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75.0%, defeating the Warriors with his own strength. Jennings, who scored 55 points, was also the highest score in a single game in the Bucks history at that time. He also became the rookie with the highest score in a single quarter at that time. With a record of 20 years and 52 days, he became the youngest single-game 50-pointer in NBA history.

But after the hot performance in the first few months of the season, Jennings' problems became more and more obvious. His shooting stability and physical confrontation were not excellent. However, at that time, he was still a future star worth looking forward to. When he led the Bucks to the playoffs with the sixth in the division, he finally got out of the first round of the game with the Hawks.

In the second season, Jennings' offensive stability, defensive ability and too sticky shortcomings gradually revealed, but his star potential still exists. The Bucks are constantly looking for help, and in the 2011-12 season, Monta Ellis was found from the Warriors to form a double-gun in the backcourt.

However, the seemingly strong double-gun combination failed to lead the team to a higher level. In the first season of the double-gun combination, the Bucks only won 38 wins and 44 losses, and failed to break through with 50% of the winning rate. However, due to the weak Eastern Conference's combat power of that year, they were lucky enough to enter the playoffs. They were swept out in four games in the first round against the Heat.

The final ending is known. After the failed double gun combination, Jennings was sent to the Pistons in the summer of that year, in exchange for Middleton, Knight and others. After joining the Pistons, he also performed a star performance for a while. On January 21, 2015, he scored 24 points and 21 assists in a single game against the Magic. He was the first player since Nash to score 20 points and 20 assists in a single game.

But fate is such a coincidence. After Jennings set a historical record, when facing his old club, the Bucks, Jennings fell to the ground in a scramble and was diagnosed with a rupture of the Achilles tendon for a season reimbursement. Even though he successfully returned to the team, Jennings was no longer at his former level. He went to several teams in the future. Although there were occasional highlights, it was still difficult to establish a team in the end. He was originally the peak of his career at the age of 28, but he had to be forced to leave. It was a pity.. But as the team gradually rose after strengthening, the relatively inexperienced Trier slowly fell out of the team rotation and disappeared from the league after just two seasons in the Knicks.
