As the top pick of 20 1 1, the Cavaliers at that time took Owen as the core of the team. But in the first few years of his career, the performance of leading the team was not excellent. At that stage, the Cavaliers won three champions in four years, which became an anecdote in the NBA. How did Owen lead the team in those years? The highest is only 33 wins.
10 in the summer, James joined the Heat, and the Cavaliers sent James away by signing first and then changing, so he got the first round of signing (which later evolved into the top draft). After James left the team, the Cavaliers' record in 1 1 fell to 19, winning 63 losses, directly changing from the first strongman in the league to the last fish in the East. The Cavaliers were also lucky enough to get the top draft and chose Duke's genius Owen.
In the rookie season, Owen has unlimited firepower. He handed over gorgeous data of averaging 18.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. Although his personal performance was excellent, he was still immature at that time, so the Cavaliers' record did not improve obviously, but he won 2 1 win and 45 losses, only winning two more games than the previous year. This year, the Cavaliers chose Dion Witsey on the 4 th, and formed a double shot with Owen in the backcourt.
12- 13 season, both shots performed well. Owen averaged 22.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game and has become an Eastern All-Star point guard. West also averaged 15+3, and inside Thompson averaged 12+9, which was also remarkable. Although there are many talented young people, the Cavaliers only scored 24 wins and 58 losses. They got the top draft again and chose Bennett inside.
In the 13- 14 season, Owen averaged 2 1+4+6, and his performance was still very stable, but Bennett became a real parallel. In the end, the Cavaliers only scored 33 wins and 49 losses that year, and also missed the playoffs, and then won the No.1 pick.
In just four years, the Cavaliers won three top picks. Boss Gilbert's son is lucky, but I have to say that because of Owen's poor leadership, the Cavaliers have always had a great chance to win the first prize. The best record in four years is only 33 wins. After joining the Celtics and the Nets, teammates performed better without Owen, which is a good proof, so today's Owen will be controversial.
