Chapter 600: Chris Paul Arrives (Fifth Update, First Update)
The Nets have a good roster in their own right, and now they have draft guidance from Richard!
And Green Kai's lineup, the team has the league's No. 1 small forward Pierce, and there is an inside line Oku who is at the peak of his golden prime, and now looking at Rivers's expression, nine times out of ten Richard gave them a list of three, even if they can only choose two, it is a huge increase in the strength of the lineup.
These two teams are afraid that in the next season, they will definitely rise completely.
Green Kai may rise for a little longer, but the rise will definitely rise.
Coupled with the original powerhouse in the East, the Heat and the Pistons......
Then Richard's pirate team, after a year of rotten, is estimated to start to exert strength this year.
It is equivalent to saying that five strong teams have emerged in the east at once.
Such a terrifying number of heroes and powers is enough to make the east, which has always been weak, become a meat grinder.
The other Eastern teams can only watch with pain at the moment, and I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult for them to enter the playoffs next season.
……
Before the draft began, Richard directly gave a list of four rookies.
The strength of these four newcomers is quite good.
But it can only be said that it is good, and Richard is not very good at it anyway.
There are too many newcomers in the Pirates team at the moment, and these players like Reed, after Richard gets it, he will definitely not have the opportunity to cultivate them......
If the Buccaneers had formed a roster by now, Richard might have taken these players to develop them, and then fattened them up and sold them.
"Anyway, there are more opportunities for the draft, and it's not bad for this year."
"This time, I returned the favor of Frank and Pierce, and I was relaxed."
Richard thought with a smile.
……
At the moment of shock in the venue, Stern appeared, and the draft officially began.
Hawks head coach Mike Woodson looked at Richard with a blank eye.
He still has a fluke in his mind that Richard didn't pick Bogut with the No. 1 pick, but instead chose one of the Buccaneers' scarcest point guards.
It's not impossible, but it's just a small one.
The Eagles, who have the list of signs, as long as Richard doesn't pick Bogut, they will definitely take Bogut immediately.
At the moment, the Hawks are not saying that there is no center, they have Zaza Pachulia in the team, who just mixed into the starting position last season, averaging 11.7 points per game with 8 rebounds.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zaza's upper limit is not high, and I am afraid that such data is already his limit at the moment.
If they can get Bogut, I'm afraid that the Eagles will sell Zaza immediately, and then do their best to cultivate Bogut.
This is Duncan II! White Duncan! Duncan Australia!
His lower limit alone looks much higher than Zaza's!
……
However, Mike Woodson's illusions were soon shattered by Stern.
"I announce that the Charlotte Buccaneers have selected Andrew Bogut from the University of Utah with the first pick in the first round!"
The result announced by Stern is not a surprise at all, and if ninety percent of the teams on the scene get the top pick, I am afraid they will not hesitate to choose Bogut.
At least this is the case in this era, and if you push it back ten years, it will be difficult to say.
……
Several high-quality point guards in the small green room frowned.
De Xiaopang, Paul and Fatton all imagined the scene of being selected by the champion.
After all, it's a well-known fact that the Buccaneers lack point guards......
Now their illusions are also shattered.
Mike Woodson sighed, and sure enough, Richard didn't make a fool of himself and didn't give the Eagles a chance to get Bogut.
He wrote Marvin Williams' name on a slip of paper and handed it to the staff at the scene.
……
In this draft, the top two picks have not changed, Bogut is still the champion, and Marvin Williams is still the top pick.
There is a saying in the draft that there must be water in the eyes of the top list.
This year's draft is quite special......
Neither the champion nor the top eye can be said to be water, but they also failed to match their ranks.
These two people are between water and non-water, maybe the strength is worse than that it is parallel goods, and if it is a little stronger, it is a veritable champion or leader.
……
Richard quickly wrote a note and asked the staff on the scene to hand it over to the Bucks.
"I announce that the Milwaukee Bucks, with the third pick in the first round, have selected Chris Paul from Wake Forest University." Stern announced the sign.
When Richard handed the note to the Bucks, many people at the scene already understood what was happening.
It turns out that Richard made a silent deal with the Bucks? I just don't know what the current trade plan for the two teams is......
It stands to reason that with Richard's temperament, this time the bucks must have a big bloodletting.
I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out how much blood was released.
Next up is the New Orleans Hornets, who chose Jordan's North Carolina alumnus Fatton.
As for the Utah Jazz, they chose De Chubby with the fifth pick.
These two little fat men were still selected by the top five picks......
The fat chosen by the wasp instead of the fat man was naturally well thought out.
If you look purely at the strength, in fact, this year's point guards can't see much difference.
Maybe De Xiaochubby is a little stronger, but Felton led the team to the NCAA finals after all.
At this point, it is a little better than De Chubby......
……
After the top five picks are selected, it is still the five newcomers, which is no different from normal circumstances, the only difference is that their orders have changed slightly, but not much.
In the next few picks, there are many players who are familiar to Richard.
Hairless man Villanueva was drafted by the Raptors, but he only played for one season with the Raptors before being traded to the Bucks.
and then became teammates with Yi Jianlian......
This may also be where Villanueva is more unlucky, because Yi Jianlian has great commercial value, so even if Villanueva is more advanced than Yi Jianlian, the rank is about the same, and the strength is stronger than Yi Jianlian, but he appears as a substitute for Yi Jianlian in many games......
Saying that the hairless hero is stronger than Yi Jianlian is not belittling Emperor Yi, but seeking truth from facts.
It's not a shameful thing, it's not as strong as people, if you don't even have the courage to admit it, you're really a coward.
Whether it is a comprehensive shooting percentage or three points, Yi Jianlian is quite far behind Veranieva.
Of course, Villanueva is not saying how strong he is, his rebounding rate and defensive efficiency are relatively pitiful......
But even so, he is no worse than Yi Jianlian in these two aspects, and even slightly better.
Many fans feel that after Yi Jianlian entered the league, he was not reused, which was the main reason why he did not play.
In fact, the treatment enjoyed by Yi Jianlian is enough to make the vast majority of American players blush.
Think about Villanueva, who can cut 13 points and 6.4 rebounds in his rookie season, because he played the same position as Yi Jianlian, and after coming to the Bucks, he couldn't start, so you know how amazing Yi Jianlian's treatment is.
