In another time and space, Clay. Thompson was selected by the Warriors with the 10th pick in the first round. Leonard was drafted by the Pacers with the 15th pick in the first round and later traded to the Spurs.

These two players were both members of the Little Green House at the time, and they were also players who were properly watched by many teams, and with the emergence of Wang Xiao, the record of the league team has been much different from that of another time and space, and the change of the butterfly effect may make their draft order lower, but it may also make their draft pick higher than the original.

If Wang Xiao wants to select them, he must return to the high pick.

In contrast, Jimmy, who was drafted with the 30th pick in the first round. Butler, the 8th pick in the second round, Chandler. Parsons, and Isaiah, who was the last one drafted in the draft and was almost lost. Thomas, none of which are the focus of the major teams.

If you want to choose them, it is naturally much easier and easier.

Let's start with Jimmy. Butler.

It's like what he said when the Timberwolves slammed his teammates.

"I'm not the most talented person in the team. Who is the most talented player? It's Downs. Who is the most favored player by God? It's Wiggins. Who is the hardest playing player? It's me! ”

Butler can be regarded as a model of Dick Si's counterattack in the league, and his inspirational level is no less than that of Arenas.

Butler's talent is average, and his height and arm span are also ordinary among small forwards, and the reason why he was selected by the Bulls with the 30th pick in the first round was just because he wanted to be a small forward. Deng is looking for a role player who is okay.

But Butler has grown at an astonishing pace in the NBA. Deng was injured in the 13-14 season and quickly established himself in the team, replacing Ruhr. Deng became the team's starting small forward.

In terms of experience, Butler and George are strikingly similar, and they are also the team's main players who rose after injury, but the difference is that George is better than Butler in all aspects of physical fitness and talent, which can also be seen from the draft pick.

George was drafted with the 10th pick in the first round, a proper member of the Little Green House, although he was drafted by the Pacers to play as Danny. Granger's replacement, but in fact, was developed as the team's future main player.

And Jimmy. Butler, who was indeed selected with the 30th pick in the first round, almost fell to the second round, was not valued by the team at all, and his position in the team was that of an ordinary rotation role player.

Also in his rookie season, George played as a backup to Granger, averaging 20 minutes per game, while Butler played as a substitute for Ruhr. Deng's bench averaged only eight minutes per game.

In this case, it is very rare that Butler can grow in adversity and eventually become a first-class star in the league.

……

Next, it was Chandler, the 8th pick in the second round. Parsons.

In 2019, Parsons is already a well-known example of "high salary and low ability".

In 2016, the Memphis Grizzlies offered Parsons a four-year contract worth $94.8 million with a maximum salary, and after receiving this big contract, Parsons' form declined rapidly, averaging only 7 points and 2 rebounds per game in the three years of the Grizzlies, and only playing an average of more than 30 games per season.

With a salary of more than 20 million a year, but doing the work of a substitute player, Parsons, who lives a leisurely life, was even called a "money. I'm afraid of something".

However, leaving aside Parsons' depraved career, just the first few seasons of his career are a pretty good player.

Parsons has a high basketball IQ, well-rounded offensive skills, active running, good use of cover, has the projection ability of a pure shooter, and is also very active on the defensive end, can defend most players at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, and can also defend the opponent's No. 4 players when playing power forwards.

After his rookie season, he averaged 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in his second season with the Rockets, and was even better than Danny Green as a role player when he didn't get a big contract.

What's more, his pick is only the 8th pick in the second round, and when combined, it's absolutely cheap.

……

The last one was Isaiah, who hung the tail of the draft, and the last one to be selected. Thomas.

It's normal for Thomas Jr. to not be favored, even if he shows the speed of the point guard and breaks through like lightning, it still can't make up for his height shortcomings.

The height of 1.75 meters is the direct reason why the vast majority of teams in the league reject him.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there have been few players of this height who can score and can be counted on one hand.

Potato Webb, who is 1.69 meters tall, averages 9.9 points and 5.3 assists per game in his career.

Boykins, who is 1.65 meters tall, averaged 8.9 points and 3.2 assists per game in his career.

Boggs, who is 1.60 meters tall, averaged 7.7 points and 7.6 assists per game in his career.

1.75m Nate. Robinson averaged 11 points and three assists per game in his career.

This is the number of short players in the history of the league who can be counted at 1.7 meters tall or less and can play basketball in the league for more than 10 years.

With such big data, no one wants to waste even a paltry second-round pick on Thomas Jr.

However, Thomas Jr. proved to be absolutely worthy of the title of "the strongest 1.75 meters on the surface".

In his third season with the Kings, he averaged 20 points and 6 assists per game and shot above 45% from the field.

In the third season of the Celtics, Thomas Jr. averaged 28.9 points and 5.9 assists per game, which shocked the entire league.

Unfortunately, perhaps it was too early, and after the best season of his career, Thomas Jr. was traded to the Cavaliers in exchange for the same No. 1 pick as Kyrie. Irving, the No. 11 pick in '11 and the last rookie in '11, swapped owners, and then Thomas Jr. quickly sank due to injuries and the fact that he had not been able to adapt to an unfamiliar system.

Of course, although he is the strongest 1.75 meters on the surface, Thomas Jr. still has a lot of flaws, the most obvious point is the defense, too short height makes it almost equivalent to misalignment with any player on the field, although the defense is very hard, but the huge height difference makes it often become a black hole on the field.

However, Wang Xiao is not looking for the main starter, so he doesn't need to consider this aspect at all.
