Chapter 1118: The draft is over, and Paul belongs!

The Seattle SuperSonics' No. 30 pick this year was not involved in which player Yes was not involved in, and it was Presti and his team of scouts who were in charge.

However, Yes also knows some of the picks Presti has prepared for this draft.

The first pick is Rondo's apprentice at the University of Kentucky, Eric Bledsoe, in the case of Rondo destined to be traded, although James Harden can be promoted to the starter, Sessions and Tylawson can also play as a backup point guard, but the shortcomings of Sessions and Tylawson are still obvious, not that the two are good at beating strong teams, but the defense of the two is indeed a little worse.

For some specific strong teams, each position is a strong team with All-Star level players, and the role of the two is very limited.

In this year's Finals, Sessions basically didn't have playing time, because the Heat are star players in every position, and stars are on the court all the time, as long as Sessions is on the court, it will definitely be a defensive hole, and he will definitely be stared at.

Therefore, the Seattle SuperSonics need to prepare a different backup point guard, with Tylawson on offense, Sessions on the playmaker, and one on defense.

And Bledsoe is a great addition.

Bledsoe's talent and style of play are known as the rich version of Lowry, of course, this is just a talent stronger than Lowry, and it takes a few seasons to hone his strength to reach Lowry's heights, however, his defense already has a certain level, and the SuperSonics don't expect him to have Lowry's offense and passing now.

It's just that the draft is like that, and what you want is not necessarily what you can get.

Although Bledsoe was not invited by the Little Green House, in the predictions of many draft experts before the game, Bledsoe's draft pick was very high.

ESPN's No. 1 draft pundit, Charterford, thinks he'll be drafted by the Rockets with the 14th pick, and Chuck Hayes, the Rockets' center and former captain of the University of Kentucky, has also expressed his desire for the team to select him as a junior.

It's just that, unexpectedly, Bledsoe was not selected by the Rockets, but was robbed by the Warriors and Jerry West.

Jerry West and the Warriors also need this type of point guard, and Curry and his bench Barbosa are both good offensive players who need to make up for it defensively, and the two teams are a bit of a collision.

All things considered, the Seattle SuperSonics cut off the Leonard that Jerry West wanted, which also made Jerry West depressed now.

Because the Warriors' new head coach is Kerr, a former assistant coach at the University of Washington, plus a bunch of University of Washington players on the team, the Warriors know Leonard far more than any other team.

Jerry West, in particular, was suggested by Kerr to draft Leonard, using the team's 22nd pick this year.

I feel that Leonard is a very good addition to Beasley and can complement Beasley's defense is not too good a problem.

And after studying Leonard, Jerry West found that this player is simply a treasure!

He doesn't score a lot, but he can shoot threes, shoot from the ground up, and have a certain level of ball handling.

He was invisible a lot of the time, but when the University of Washington needed him, he was even more secure than Bradley and Isaiah Thomas when he stepped up!

His athletic talent is not high, but he has basically not been killed by those athletic strongmen with talent!

It's pretty incredible.

He wasn't sure what Leonard's situation really was.

But based on his experience and his eyes, this is a player who can definitely gamble.

So, this offseason, he's spent most of his time looking for an opportunity to trade lottery picks.

For Leonard.

After working hard for more than a month, he was cut off by supersonic speed, and Jerry West felt a lot more uncomfortable.

In this draft, Presti prepared a total of four candidates for the 30th pick.

Bledsoe, Lance Stephenson, Hassan Whiteside.

According to Presti, the team is most likely to pick Lance Stephenson with the 30th pick, and Hassan Whiteside is the least likely to pick up.

Bledsoe, on the other hand, is five-five.

I didn't expect such a big accident at this draft meeting.

Lance Stephenson was drafted by the Pacers with the 16th pick in the first round.

According to Presti, Lance Stephenson is likely to fall to the early part of the second round.

Hassan Whiteside, on the other hand, is likely to enter the lottery, although it is a small team, but the talent is there.

Ye Si looked at the black guy who was excitedly celebrating with his relatives and friends next to him at this time, and Ye Si's mind remembered the scouting report that Presti gave him.

Name: Hassan Whiteside

Height: 2.13 meters (7 feet)

Weight: 107 kg

Position: Centre

Age: 22 years old

Templates: Marcus Camby (best), Tyson Chandler (worst)

Draft prospects: Lotto

Strengths: 7 feet tall, 7 feet 6 (2.31 meters) in reach, full of strength, and has high speed and agility that are extremely inconsistent with his tall stature, solid rebounding ability and dominant blocking ability, allowing him to establish himself in the NBA, has shown good shooting skills, and may become a big man with a wide range of attacks in time.

Cons: The fact that he didn't go to college until he was 20 makes him more of an older player would raise doubts about his IQ and ball quotient, and that's the only reason we might draft him with the No. 30 pick, which would lead to a discount on his value in this year's draft. On top of that, his skill and sense of the game will give him less control of the game, and shooting just 40% of his free throws will affect his time on the court and the team's pace of play (which will be targeted). And he is not yet underweight, but he has a good skeleton and muscle type, he should be able to have a good body as a center forward in the future, in addition, he needs to get rid of the old habit of liking the ball and reduce the turnover rate, he has not yet realized that he can't be a player like Yao Ming, he has almost no ability to handle the ball on the offensive end, but he seems to be not willing to be just a campie.

A player whose strengths and weaknesses are obvious.

To be able to treat Tyson Chandler as the worst model player, and his best model is actually Camby, which is very telling.

Are Tyson Chandler and Camby much worse?

There is almost no difference.

In that case, why is Presti's draft report written like this?

That's because there is nothing possible for his offense, of course, he can only spin around defensively.

Now Camby has achieved a little more than Chandler.

Whiteside has such obvious advantages and disadvantages, Presti sees it, and the general managers of other NBA teams are not stupid.

The Rockets' Tabit is just around the corner.

Such a player needs to be polished, and it is difficult to say whether it can be polished, ball quotient, consciousness, this is really not made up by God, you play for 10 minutes in a game, all fouls, many blocks, but all of them are leaks, no matter how good the talent is, you can't stand it!

And that's why Whiteside wasn't selected when he was left here.

Of course, for Whiteside, he doesn't feel like he has any problems right now.

"Am I long and hard, am I TM long and hard!"

"That's right, I was born to go to the Seattle SuperSonics!"

I have to say that the previous worries and fears made Whiteside really hold back a little too hard.

So much so that after he was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics, he was a little prodigal for a while.

"Xiao Yezi, this rookie you chose this time is very interesting."

Originally, Yao Ming wanted to say that this kid was very similar to the Tabit in their team.

The two of them almost looked like they were carved out of the same mold.

But Tabit is much more shy than this kid.

"Being drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics, even if it's just the end of the first round, is indeed something that can be celebrated unscrupulously."

Avery Bradley said as he looked at Whiteside with some envy.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, just now Hedong, now Hexi, can enter the Seattle SuperSonics as a first-rounder, even he is envious.

Starting with Rondo in 2006, Durant in 2007, James Harden Ibaka in 2008, and Tylawon in 2009, in addition to Tylawon, the Seattle SuperSonics have never been in the first round of the draft over the years.

Among the five first-round picks in the past four years, there have been three All-Star players, one supergiant, one superstar, no matter what Rondo says, his honor is definitely worthy of the title of superstar, of course, if his strength can be more recognized, the title of supergiant can be deserved.

This success rate is simply invincible!

A few days ago, ESPN made statistics based on rookie players with various picks in the past 20 years.

In the past 20 years, except for the top five picks, the star probability has exceeded 60%, and the other picks, the sixth pick has a star rate of only 25%, the seventh pick is 30%, the eighth is 35%, the ninth is 30%, the tenth is 35%, and then after the top ten, the star rate is all below 30%, and even the star rate of the 12th pick is 5%.

You know, ESPN's star standard is not to be an All-Star, but according to a formula they have formulated, an average of points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks greater than 25 per game is considered a star.

According to this standard, a center who averages 10 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal per game is a star, even a guard who averages 15 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals per game is also a star.

Maybe this statistic is indeed an NBA star, but it is definitely impossible to become an All-Star.

According to ESPN statistics, the Seattle SuperSonics have achieved an all-star rate of 60% in the first round in the past four years, excluding Yees, and even the success rate of the top pick cannot reach the success rate of Supersonic starters.

It's hard to say that a champion has a 60% chance of making it to an All-Star, but being selected in the first round by the SuperSonics and being trained by Yes's side has a 60% chance of entering an All-Star.

Therefore, the value of a Seattle SuperSonics first-round pick can be comparable to or even exceed the first-round pick.

ESPN This is the ability to lead the team in disguised leaves.

But if this kind of boasting is not refuted by others, it shows that most people actually approve of it.

Therefore, seeing the arrogance of Whiteside in the east and west of the river for thirty years, the other rookies next to him are really only envious in addition to envy, and they don't think there is anything wrong with Whiteside.

Even these people may feel that if they were Whiteside, they would do the same.

Whiteside was arrogant, as the last rookie in the first round, the whistle was selected by the SuperSonics, ice and fire.

The rookies were looking at Whiteside with envy, while the stars were all looking at Yes.

Especially James.

"Four years from now, I'm going to make the world recognize that just going to Cleveland in the first round means being an All-Star!"

"I'm going to make Cleveland more attractive on my own!"

"I definitely don't want to accept that nightmare of constant invitations and constant rejections!"

"I'm going to make Cleveland a mecca for young players like Seattle!"

"Like Yes, I want to be the god of this holy place!"

James is thinking a lot right now.

After the Seattle SuperSonics completed the final draft of the first round, the NBA stars and all the players in the Little Green Room left the draft venue.

Not only did Yees and these little green house rookies leave, but David Stern also left.

And the person who came to the court to read the second-round draft list instead of David Stern was Scott Pippen, one of the members of the TNT team who had just sat in the commentary box with Barkley, Kenny Smith, Chris Webb and Reggie Miller!

Seeing Scott Pippen standing on stage to represent David Stern, Barkley and the others were stunned.

What was even more stunned was Jordan in front of the TV.

Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, NBA......

This is a blurb of Scott Pippen that was typed out on TV.

David Stern invited Scott Pippen to become the NBA's sixth vice president.

This Nima's, Pi Er, this is going against the sky!

The senior vice president of that joke has been masturbated by David Stern, and now everyone knows that the battle for the successor to the NBA has entered the white heat, and the position of senior vice president is being watched by many people.

Even Jordan himself had an idea.

But in the face of his explicit hints, David Stern was indifferent at all, but what does Pi Er rely on to get on this guy?

This guy is as good as me Joe Someone other than that mouth that can only blow Yes?!

Watching Pippen pointing out the country lightly on TV, Jordan was quite unconvinced!

Ye Si certainly didn't know that something like this would happen when they left the draft.

The Seattle SuperSonics also have a 60-pick second-round pick this year, and because the SuperSonics are already full, the pick was traded to the Dallas Mavericks for $2 million tonight.

So, after the first round of drafting, the Seattle SuperSonics' draft tonight is over.

"Brother Yao, have you already thought about where you are going next?"

"I'm still thinking about it."

On the special plane from New York to Seattle, Yao Ming said with a smile.

He is not in a hurry, perhaps the most important choice in life is very important.

And at this time, Yao Ming's mobile phone rang, Yao Ming took the mobile phone and looked at it, the smile on his face was still solidifying, but his eyes had all turned into shock.

Ye Si looked at Yao Ming's mobile phone curiously, this was a text message from Yao's team.

"The latest news, multi-party deals, Chris Paul is on his way to the Clippers!"
