Chapter 832: Spurs Pick Up Leaks Again

The Magic, who came in fourth with the next pick, chose Aaron Gordon, a dunk player with considerable physical fitness.

Richard was stunned, and it seemed that Aaron Gordon had also been reimbursed for half a season in his rookie season......

Good guy, the reason why Wiggins is so healthy has finally been found.

The bottom three in the draft have all been reimbursed, and the top Wiggins said that there is a lot of pressure and can only maintain health and seek safety.

……

Next up for the Jazz was the fifth pick, where the Jazz normally selected Dante Essam, a guard player.

However, because Gobert was taken away by Richard last season, there is a lack of big men in the Jazz team now, and the two big men they randomly selected are not used, so this time they did not choose Essam, but chose a big forward player like Julius Randle.

Randle was drafted by the Lakers with the seventh pick.

The Lakers did not panic when they saw that Randle was selected, and now the Lakers really lack everything, since the Jazz didn't want Essam, then they simply took Essam.

Next up was the 13th pick, another draft pick from the Timberwolves, and this time they made a clever move, selecting Zach LaVine, a quarterback from the basketball mecca of UCLA.

To be precise, it should be UCLA, the former basketball mecca, because the current basketball mecca is Purdue University.

Embiid and Randle, who were the top picks in this year's draft, both came from Purdue.

……

The 13th pick is also interesting, anyway, if you don't know who to pick, it's not wrong to pick a point guard.

Soon it was the 22nd pick, where the Jazz chose Rodney Hood, a fairly cost-effective option.

In this year's draft, many teams have more than two first-round picks, such as the Jazz, Timberwolves and Suns......

The reason for this situation may also be because Richard did not pile up draft picks this year, which caused many teams to look down on this draft and then sell their draft picks.

Then came the 23rd pick of the Clippers, and Richard did not hesitate at all, and directly selected Serbian center Nikola Jokic with the 23rd pick.

There is no doubt that Mr. Yoo is definitely the best player from the 23rd pick in the first round.

And the choice of Jokic is actually entrusted by others.

Yoo's compatriot Milicic called Richard two months before the draft, wanting Richard to select Jokic and assuring that Jokic would never disappoint Richard.

Milicic is definitely a first-line power forward in the league, with countless honors at hand, and with his high status, his natural pursuit is different, and he is now starting to promote some young players in Serbia.

Under normal circumstances, Milicic didn't play himself, first became a boxer after retiring, and then returned to the countryside of Serbia to run a greenhouse vegetable, how can he have this qualification to promote his juniors.

Richard naturally agreed, even if there was no Milicic to intercede, he would definitely choose Jokic.

In this draft, in Richard's opinion, the best player in the first round should almost be Embiid, and the second round must be Jokic.

Even in Richard's view, Jokic is a little more practical than Embiid.

And in terms of cost performance, Jokic must be much higher......

Embiid is a rookie, while Jokic is normally only a 41st pick in the second round.

It doesn't make sense not to pick Jokic.

In addition to Jokic in the second round, there are actually some players that Richard is more interested in, such as Dinwiddie of the Nets in the future, which is a good player.

It's a pity that compared to Jokic, it must be completely inadequate, and Richard naturally won't do the thing of picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelon.

……

Soon the 24th pick was selected, and the Spurs were 25th pick.

Whenever the Spurs start to select people, Richard is a little frightened, really afraid that the Spurs will choose some players with super cost performance.

"I am announcing that the San Antonio Spurs have selected Clint Capela from Geneva, Switzerland, with the 25th pick in the first round." Xiao Hua read out the Spurs' candidates.

The audience heard that Spurs had chosen a Swiss player, and they were quite calm, after all, Spurs like to use international players, which is not news.

But Richard's heart was filled with boundless waves, what are you kidding, ** Vicky chose Capela?!

Last season, the Spurs lost badly because of the interior line, and as a result, they immediately chose an inside line in the draft this time to prevent Duncan from being injured again.

It may also be because the Spurs missed out on Gobert in Ligue 1 last season, so this time they have focused on Capela, who is also from the French league......

Anyway, no matter what the reason, Vicky's choice of Capela made Richard's egg hurt.

In the blink of an eye, the Spurs have put together a four-less lineup, and it is not the kind of four-less that is blindly patched together, but the four young ones with a fairly high degree of lineup harmony, playing four positions, and there is no positional conflict at all.

Coupled with the fact that the GDP is still strong, Richard feels that the Spurs are becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Key Spurs can now free up some salary space, and they still have room to bolster.

Such a spur is too terrible.

There may be fans who think that Capela is just like that, and if he doesn't have Harden or Paul to feed him, he's a waste......

Actually, if Capela doesn't say anything else, the rebounds alone are enough for him to get a good big contract.

Richard clearly remembers that in the 18-19 season, the top three players in the frontcourt rebounds were Zhuang Shen, Adams and Capela.

Only those three in the league are averaging more than four rebounds per game.

Among them, Zhuang Shen has the most rebounds, averaging 15.6 rebounds per game, 5.4 offensive rebounds, and 10.2 defensive rebounds.

The third in frontcourt rebounds is Capela, averaging 12.7 rebounds per game, including 4.4 frontcourt rebounds and 8.2 backcourt rebounds.

As for Adams, who is ranked second, he is a strange one, averaging 4.9 rebounds per game in the front court and 4.6 rebounds per game in the back court, and there are more rebounds in the front court than in the back court, can you believe it......

It can also be seen from this that Capela has such a rebounding ability, which is not enough to eat.

In addition to his top-notch rebounding ability, Capela is nothing special in other aspects, and on the offensive end, because of Harden and Paul, no one thinks he is good on the offensive end......

As for the defensive end, Capela's defense can only be said to be medium and slightly upper, which is still a little behind the level of Jordan Jr. and Gobert.

However, to be able to choose this kind of player in the 25th pick, there is nothing to say about the cost performance.

Under normal circumstances, it is actually the Rockets who have the No. 25 pick this year, and they chose Capela, but they didn't expect to be picked up by the Spurs now.
