Super Lord of the Rings - Chapter 919
The 2013 Draft was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The Cavaliers picked the shooting guard Victor Oladipo with the No. 1 pick.
This is a big upset. In view of the fact that today’s basketball is more data-oriented and has a crazy fascination with high-data players, this makes traditional defensive players particularly valuable. Oladipo is a fairly rare defensive outside tank.
He is 193CM tall and weighs 97 kg. The template is Tony Allen. He has superb physical fitness and a dunk contest level. In his junior season, he averaged only 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 steals.
He was selected as the No. 1 overall because the Cavaliers had Cousins, Valejo, Thompson, no need for potential insiders, and they could not be cultivated.
The second pick of the Magic chose “Akagi”, Narens Noel.
After sending off Howard, the Magic Center has only the soft egg Hawes, “big baby” Glen Davis, desperately needs an inside line that can defend and block.
Noel is more explosive than the Pelican’s “eyebrow”, and has a better blocking ability for the ball holder than the eyebrow. He will be a good defensive player.
However, he may also become the next “Emperor” Oden, with hidden injuries, and the Magic management is willing to bet on his talent.
The Wizards selected the 203CM forward Otto Porter, the all-around small forward, and the 216CM excellent arm span. There is a nickname “big picture” because people familiar with him said that they had never seen Potter panic.
The Bobcats, who changed their name to “Wasps,” selected the short inside player Anthony Bennett. As predicted before the game, another high-ranked rookie was hand-picked by Jordan.
Fan Gandi in the live draft couldn’t help but ridicule the Bobcats. “Why are you always? Are so many high-ranked players not enough to save you?”
As a freshman, Bennett has demonstrated an offensive strength that is difficult to defend in college basketball. His physical condition is good. Although his height of 201CM is very disadvantageous in the fourth position, his 216CM’s wingspan, wide shoulders, huge palms and powerful strength allow him to score many points.
Bennett is the ruler of the paint zone in the NCAA. He has 70% of his scores from the inside, and he can really do what he wants. He likes to attack on the right side of the basket. 60% of the attacks are above the basket or The dunk is complete. He dunked 42 times this season, the most in the league. And he also has a good three-point shooting ability. He made 23 three-pointers this season, averaging one per game, and his shooting percentage reached 40%.
Looking at Bennett’s situation, Jordan feels that this is a relatively obedient, real space player who plays, and can play a role in the system.
The Suns selected the 216CM inside Alex-Ryan in fifth place. A Ukrainian who has received an American basketball education and has an orthodox European inner body.
The Timberwolves picked Ben McLemmer in sixth place.
Minnesota is a bitter cold place, but it is good news for McLemmer, because the Wolves lack scorers, a group of blue collars inside, and the Spanish golden boy “Lu Yizhong” outside. He only needs to prove that he can hit more than two goals per game, he can get a lot of playing time.
He was once evaluated by scouts as “with Ray Allen’s physical talent and shooting feel”, predicting that he may be selected as the No. 1 pick and falling to the seventh overall pick is a big upset.
The eighth place is also an upset. The Mavericks selected 213CM center Cody Zeller. The template is Aldridge. He has height and athletic ability, can shoot in the middle, and predicts the top five.
Cuban was very happy and didn’t want to renew his contract with the slow Kaman.
The Jazz picked the 185CM point guard Trey Burke in the ninth pick.
Seeing this, Wang Jun wanted to change channels, but he just wanted to know who the king selected in the first round, so he just watched it.
The Trail Blazers selected CJ Mcrum.
11 Pelicans guard Michael Carter Williams.
The Thunder wanted to use the 12.29 draft pick and Cole Aldridge for the top five picks, but obviously, Presti was insulting the IQ of all his colleagues. Therefore, he had to honestly pick center Adams with the 12th pick.
As expected, the 213cm, 116kg giant is obviously used as a meat shield. The Thunder is ready to send LaMarcus Aldridge.
The Lakers’ draft picks were sent out, and they had no choice.
The Knicks selected Tim Hardaway II, the son of Hardaway “The Beetle”.
The Nets picked a small forward Reggie Bullock.
The Clippers selected a white insider, Mason Plumley. There were rumors before that they were preparing for Yao Ming, choosing a big man to replace the vacancy.
In the 30th place, the King selected Serbian point guard Nedovic, 191CM tall, 87 kg in weight, and has a good figure.
The King didn’t lack a point guard, and it was a waste to let him play the bench.
The King’s second round of the show was given to the Pacers. They chose 212CM white inside Colton Iverson.
American media said that this may be the weakest draft in the past 15 years. Therefore, when the draft round ended the first round, the league saw 10 trades.
The Grizzlies exchanged Arthur for Coufers. Wang Jun’s first reaction was that the Grizzlies will be blunt, thicker, and hard like a wall next season. Then, as soon as the opponent picked it up, they were like a wall, motionless.
The Nuggets management has gone wild, and their heads are amused. The only solid inside line in the starting line was gone, and all five starters next season will be fast breaks. The dinner table was full of fatty Beijing roast duck, without the only white pasta to wrap it.
This kind of nuggets is closer to the fans’ impression of nuggets, like birds and cheetah antelopes in the primitive jungle.
However, since the Nuggets want to play fast breaks, why dismiss Carl for Brian Shaw to play triangle offense?
This happened to be cheap for the king.
The King and the Nuggets traded and Nedovic added some cash in exchange for 24 inside rookie Rudy Gobert.
Wang Junle, Gorbert’s athletic talent and physical quality are unforgettable. The first active 235CM wingspan and 216CM height have great potential. Why is such an inside stunner, the Nuggets given to the king?
He immediately called Swan. “How did you do it? This transaction feels completely unequal.”
Swan laughed: “It’s my idea, it’s simple, analyze the team’s psychology.”
“What psychology?”
“The Nuggets have been tepid for the first round for many years. The UU reading www.uukanshu.com must be changed. So the coaching staff fired Karl, Ugeri, and brought Brian Shaw. The Nuggets have McGee, Mozgov two centers, even Coufers sent away, certainly do not need this potential, older Frenchman. He is 21 years old. Swan proudly.
“That is to say, this is a temporary transaction? No wonder I have not been notified.”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect it to be so smooth. Originally, Petri was going to choose an insider and made a lot of money. Haha.”
In the summer, Elton Brand is not ready to renew the contract with the Kings.
He has a ring and no regrets. He wants to play in the East and fight for a higher annual salary. His performance last season can give him extra points. The king needs an inside to make up for the vacancy he left.
For Gobert, this may not be good news. Starting center 80% is Vucevic. There may be a veteran to join the king in the summer. Whiteside has a good talent and has not played.
