In '10, the Wizards had two draft picks, the Clippers' first-round pick and their own second-rounder.

On May 19, the league had held a lottery ceremony, and the Clippers, who were third from the bottom in the West, and the Clippers, who were sixth from the bottom of the league, drew the fourth pick.

Wang Xiao felt that the management of the Clippers probably wanted to block themselves.

The champion Griffin is going to die, and last season was directly reimbursed, and then look at the performance of Curry and Harden of the Wizards......

Now, the team's fourth pick is also going to be handed over to Wang Xiao, which is really angry!

Holding the No. 4 stick, Wang Xiao is full of confidence.

Excluding Jeremy Lin and Wall, who must be the champions and role models, there are many players for Wang Xiao to choose from, and Wang Xiao has already set a goal.

Paul. George.

Paul. George is definitely a very cost-effective player, strong defensively, accurate shooting, and can play without the ball or with the ball.

In Wang's plan, when Butler ages and retires to the bench, George will be the best person to replace Butler.

And George's defense will also greatly improve the Wizards' fragile perimeter defense.

George would have been drafted by the Pacers with the 10th pick, and Wang Xiao, who holds the No. 4 pick, had no reason to miss him.

Wang Xiao also considered signing Cousins with the fourth pick, and then finding a way to get George through a trade.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he gave up on this tempting idea.

Cousins is very strong, and there is even a faint tendency to shoulder the title of the league's No. 1 center in the future.

But the Wizards play small-ball tactics after all, and they don't need a center as the main point of attack.

Admittedly, Cousins' technical characteristics are perfectly suited to small-ball tactics, and he can even pull beyond the three-point line to shoot threes.

But in any team, someone always has to do the dirty work, grab rebounds and help defense.

With Cousins ...... Or to choose a super blue-collar with a No. 4 sign, Wang Xiao feels that it is a bit too much of a loss.

At the end of the day, Cousins' style can fit small-ball tactics, but he has never proven that he can really adapt to small-ball tactics, and since joining the Warriors in 2019, Cousins has barely played games due to injuries.

In addition, there is another thing that Wang Xiao cares about more, which is Cousins' performance in the playoffs.

It may be an exaggeration to say, but Cousins had 0 playoff experience before joining the Warriors in '19.

That's right, Cousins hadn't played in the playoffs at all before that.

Incredible, right? A super center with an average of 27+12 per game can't lead the team to the playoffs.

In his six seasons with the Kings, Cousins never made the playoffs.

In the 17-18 season, Cousins played in 48 games. The performance of stars such as Davis finally made the playoffs, but due to injuries, he did not play a game in the playoffs.

Even Wang Xiao, a traverser, can't figure out whether Cousins is unlucky or a complete data brush.

Coupled with Cousins's personality problems, Wang Xiao felt that it was better not to choose this kind of time bomb for the sake of safety.

The draft begins on June 24, and before that, teams have begun inviting tryouts for rookies.

The Wizards are no exception.

The difference is that the Wizards only invited two players to try out.

Jeremy Lin, Dunn.

These two players are all the main core of Wang Xiao during his time at Harvard.

Wang Xiao was a great success in the 09 draft, and Curry and Harden were selected, plus the previous Durant, which has made everyone repeatedly determine Wang Xiao's talent in seeing people.

This year, many teams have begun to pay attention to Wang Xiao's movements, wanting to try to see if they can cut off Hu in advance.

Wang Xiao is not stupid, of course it is impossible to expose his goals like last year.

In fact, he did that on purpose last year, and no one cared about his vision at that time, even if he knew that Wang Xiao valued these players, he wouldn't care too much.

And this year, the peers who have eaten a trench and grown wise will inevitably chase and intercept the players they have selected, and they are bound to take it one step ahead.

So Wang Xiao only chose Jeremy Lin and Dunn.

In the 10-year NCAA, Harvard University won the championship again, completing three consecutive championships, and then, Jeremy Lin and Dunn, the two main cores of the team, announced that they would participate in the NBA draft.

Jeremy Lin is the top pick, and he is not a player that Wang Xiao's No. 4 pick can look forward to at all, and Dunn also has a high probability of entering the lottery.

But Dunn's style is not suitable for the current Wizards' small-ball tactics, and even if he comes, it is just another enhanced version of Jordan Jr., so Wang Xiao never considered selecting him to the Wizards, and as his own disciple, Wang Xiao felt the need to give them a boost.

Sure enough, Wang Xiao only selected two players to participate in the trial, which caused a lot of repercussions in the league, and Jeremy Lin must be the champion or the person on the list, so there is no need to say more.

Although Dunn originally had outstanding defensive ability, due to the lack of offensive means, his evaluation was not as good as that of Cousins, Favors and Monroe.

But after Wang Xiao's operation, Dunn has attracted more people's attention, and the evaluation has the momentum to surpass Cousins and others.

After doing all this, Wang Xiao didn't do anything more, just waited for the start of the draft meeting peacefully.

The week went by in a blink of an eye, and soon it was the day of the draft.

As always, the draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The opening ceremony was still Stern's opening statement, and then the draft officially began.

"Wang, who did you decide to pick with the No. 4 pick?"

Grunfield endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back and asked Wang Xiao like this.

He was very unhappy, very unhappy.

Since the trading power was handed over to Wang Xiao, he, the general manager of the team, seems to have become an ornament, and he can only manage the daily operations of the team, and even the draft is about to start, and he, the general manager, has not yet known who his team will choose.

He seriously suspected that Wang Xiao did it on purpose.

In fact, he guessed correctly.

Wang Xiao really didn't want to tell him about the person in his heart.

Paul. George is a very important part of the Wizards' small-ball lineup, and Wang Xiao must make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Not only Grenfield, but no one in the entire team knows who Wang Xiao's target is...... Except, of course, the owner of the team.

Who to choose in the draft, Wang Xiao still has to report to the team boss, he is not dragged to the point that he is not even a top boss.

However, when reporting to the team owner, Wang Xiao also specifically mentioned not to tell others about his choice, which is related to the future of the Wizards, and the team owner will certainly not make any extraneous branches.
