Chapter 108: Draft Preview

On May 19, the NBA draft lottery results came out, the Milwaukee Bucks, who were 30-52 in the season, got the top pick with a 6.3% probability, and the Atlanta Hawks, who were in the bottom line, were crying and fainting in the toilet, and their record was 13-69, which was fifth in history, and they only got the top pick. The signing was acquired by the Portland Trail Blazers, who have a 27-55 record this season, which is not bad.

The New Orleans Hornets were the fourth pick, the Charlotte Bobcats were the fifth, the Utah Jazz were the sixth, the Toronto Raptors were the seventh, the New York Knicks were the eighth pick, the Golden State Warriors were the ninth, and the Los Angeles Lakers were the tenth. That's the result of the top-10 picks, and Kyle could be drafted in either position.

The signing has been settled, the major authoritative NBA draft prediction websites have officially changed and refreshed, basically the same, the champion is still a rare species of Boggart, the current big man in the NBA league is no longer the glory of the 90s, the center species is poor, the technology is comprehensive, and the big man with both offense and defense is even rarer, and it is impossible for the Milwaukee Bucks to miss him anyway.

The Atlantan Eagles, who have the second pick, chose either Marvin Williams or Deron Williams, because the teams led by the two were the champions and runners-up of this year's NCAA, but Marvin is regarded by everyone as the most talented guy this year, with physical flow and superstar potential, and the Hawks are a team dominated by young people, and they must be very patient with developing talents, so he will have an advantage. DeLong, the runner-up leader this year, is also quite good, and the Portland Trail Blazers, who have the third overall pick, will definitely choose the one left by the Hawks.

The owners of the fourth pick, the New Orleans Hornets, they lack leaders, and point guards have always been their weakness, so Felton, Paul and Kyle will be their targets, this position is highly competitive, Kyle has the leadership temperament and key ability to excel, followed by Felton, and then Paul, because the first two of the year have led the team to shine brighter than Paul.

It's clear who the fifth pick will be, the Bobcats officially joined the NBA last year as a member of the league, and they are immature and lack everything, especially leaders. The Hornets pick the rest, and they should not refuse.

So who will be the sixth pick? The NCAA "Elf Four" will grab the remaining spots. Since John Stockton's retirement, the Jazz have been looking for the same point guard talent, and this year will be an opportunity. But it's also possible to choose another talented player, Martel Webster! A super potential stock second only to Marvin.

The Toronto Raptors, the seventh pick, are also a young team, but they don't need a point guard much, they already have the "street ball king" Ralph Alston, and Jalen Rose in the backcourt, who is Rose? One of the five tigers of the famous "Michigan Five Tigers". They look more in need of an interior line to pair with their star Bosh, and Villanueva would be a good candidate.

The New Yorkers also need an inside line, with two star guards of Stephen Marbury and Alan Houston, as well as Jamal Crawford, who joined last year, and veteran Hardaway, the guard line is already bloated. And they only have Kurt Thomas as a decent power forward on the inside, and Channing Frye is a good choice, although he is thin, but this guy has a three-point basket, and such a big man is also precious.

The Golden State Warriors will choose the remaining Martel Webster or the last genius point guard of the "Elf Four".

The tenth pick of the Los Angeles people should prefer an inside player to partner Kobe, after the "big shark" Shaquille O'Neal traveled east last year, the Lakers completely fell off the altar, even if Kobe Bryant's average of 27.6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game still can't pull the team out of the quagmire, Odom and Butler performed well, but this is far from enough. The 04-05 season was the first year that the Lakers tore down and rebuilt, and the first year that the Lakers entered the Kobe era. It was a painful year for the Lakers and Kobe, whose original ambitions came to naught under the influence of unexpected factors such as injuries, coach changes, and infighting. With a 34-48 record, he missed the playoffs again after 11 years. They are weak on the inside, so the three big men of Sean May, Diogu and Andrew Bynum are available for the Lakers to choose from

Here's this year's top 10 draft predictions, and Kyle is predicted to be picked by the New Orleans Hornets with the fourth pick, and his draft best template is Chauncy Billups. The evaluation is: good physical talent, terrible upper body strength, selfless style of play, wide vision, can grasp the timing well, outstanding scoring explosiveness, leadership temperament, and outstanding ball quotient, key ability has been verified, is a player with a big heart. The disadvantages are: he has the habit of sticking to the ball, his mid- and long-distance shooting is extremely unstable, and the fat content is seriously excessive, which affects his performance, and sometimes he will fall into the misunderstanding of fighting alone and cannot extricate himself. Bottom line: Kyle will be the pick of the draft, you can't believe he's only 19 years old, he's mature, he's creative, he's got the potential to be a great star, but he's a concern about injuries.

Kyle watched the first half with relish, and the second half put him in a bad mood. Why is he sticking to the ball? Why did he go it alone? There are also hidden dangers of injury and illness! Completely blind. Kyle didn't admit it, but he still secretly praised it in his heart, don't look at those scouts! Ah, analysts! Every year, it will be praised by non-people, overestimated, and parallel goods are frequent, but people's analysis makes sense! For example, Villanueva is physically gifted, can jump and jump, has a back-to-back shot and a three-point basket, and has excellent scoring ability. However, his mentality is not peaceful enough, he lacks domineering or temperament, and he can't save the team from fire and water, none of the above are the point, the point is that he is thin and weak, in the NBA, playing big forward will eat dust, and the small forward position is slow, unable to keep up with the rhythm, and may end up playing indecently.

This is people's homework, others do a good job, it depends on how the team is chosen. Draft system! It is a kind of gambling, and it is also one of the characteristic charms of the NBA. Winning or losing is only a thought, you can dig a pit to bury yourself, and you can also rise in a moment. The Cavaliers in '03 were like that, with LeBron James, they had a great record and were already part of the playoffs, and they had their own cornerstone leader to lead them on the way to the championship for years to come.

Kyle is heading to New Orleans to be tested by the Hornets, and as for the draft results, the answer will be revealed on June 28.
