Chapter 825: Dumbfounded Jazz

Clearly, McCollum wasn't the kind of player Richard was looking for.

Unless Richard can develop some playmaking skills in McCollum's rookie season, even if the Clippers bring in Rondo, they will still not have enough people for the No. 1 spot.

Not to mention, Richard really has this idea now, and wants to cultivate McCollum's organizational skills.

As one of the two guns of the later Trail Blazers, McCollum's aura is not as shining as Lillard, but McCollum is younger than Lillard, and his performance on many key occasions is not worse than Lillard, so he is really a good player.

As for organizational ability, Richard is still confident that he can cultivate it, and even Sun Yue can practice a certain organizational ability, and it makes no sense that McCollum can't.

……

McCollum is actually an NBA legend, you must know that this thing was only 158 tall when he was just in high school!

What kind of concept is this, when the average person goes to high school, he is more than 158 centimeters tall.

What people didn't expect was that in less than four years, this product grew more than 30 centimeters......

Then when it came to the 11th pick, the Philadelphia 76ers chose McCarvey.

If you want to talk about the rookies in NBA history, it must be the player McCarvey, who is also quite topical.

After the Philadelphia 76ers drafted McCarvey, the Thunder selected Steven Adams with the 12th pick they traded.

made Richard sigh, it was really a pity that he missed the selfless high-quality inside line of Duck Egg.

Next, the Mavericks chose Olynyk with the thirteenth pick, which is also a strange thing.

McCollum has grown by more than 30 centimeters in more than three years, which is quite acceptable, but this Olynyk has grown by 18 centimeters in just one year, which is really a bit incomprehensible.

At the beginning, Olynyk played as a point guard, but as his height continued to change, he changed directly from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position......

It is worth mentioning that Olynyk was also selected by the National Basketball Writers Association to be on the first team in the United States.

From this, you can see how these writers are......

You can also see how strange the Cavaliers' choice of Bennett is.

Olynyk is on the No. 1 team in the U.S., and Bennett is only on the first team of freshmen in the U.S., and the result is the top spot......

Richard laughed, sometimes things are so wonderful, no one knows what their future destiny will be.

may feel that his future is worrying, but as a result, God directly sent a big pie.

……

The first 13 picks were finished, and the next came the 14th pick of the Jazz.

Richard wrote Giannis Antetokounmpo's name on the note......

Because the name was so long, the front of the note was not even written, and Richard added a few letters to the back.

If you look at the Chinese name, the name of the alphabet brother is actually not particularly exaggerated, but if you look at the English name, it is really exaggerated.

Giannis-Antetokounmpo, it's dizzying to look at.

Fans who are familiar with China's CBA league may know that China also has a letter brother, that is, Abdul Salamu Abdurixit, whose English spelling is Ah-BOO-Doo-Shah-LAH-Moo Ah-BOO-Doo-Rex-EE-Tee......

With such a long name, it is fortunate that he did not enter the NBA, and if he entered the NBA, it is estimated that Barkley's commentary will collapse.

"I announce that the Utah Jazz have selected Giannis Antetokounmpo from Athens, Greece with the 14th pick ......in the first round," Xiao Hua said with some rejoicing.

Fortunately, he specifically asked how to pronounce this name before, otherwise if he read it directly, it is estimated that he would be ugly, because he really can't pronounce it......

……

Seeing that Richard chose Brother Alphabet, everyone in the audience nodded one after another, and they could understand Richard's choice.

The Clippers had just sold Al Horford before, and now that they have acquired this 6-foot-11" European big man, it seems that Richard must be thinking of replacing Horford.

……

McCollum and Brother Alphabet both got their hands on it smoothly, and Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, the Bucks used their fifteenth pick to select Shabazz Mohammed.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Richard to make a move.

Richard was a little embarrassed because he was going to choose Gobert next, and he didn't know if the Jazz would collapse directly when they saw that they had chosen their favorite player.

"I am announcing that the Boston Celtics have selected Rudy Gobert from Saint-Quentin, France, with the 16th pick in the first round."

Everyone in the audience smiled slightly, Richard is still the same Richard, prefers big players, and the three first-round picks in his hand this year were directly selected......

……

Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin was directly dumbfounded.

Rudy Gobert? Isn't that the player they're going to pick with the 27th pick? How was he chosen by Green Kai?

No, to be exact, how was it taken by Richard?!

For a moment, Corbyn was completely panicked, they hadn't expected this.

In their opinion, Gobert's pick is the 27th pick in the first round, and there is no way that a team with a higher pick will be interested in this humble player.

Admittedly, Gobert's height and reach are really outstanding, and I can't fault this aspect at all, which can be said to be historic.

But while his height and arm span are good, Gobert also has some problems that cannot be ignored, such as slow speed and small tonnage......

With a tonnage more than twenty pounds smaller than Adams, the speed turned out to be a lot worse than Adams.

There are countless players with excellent height and reach in NBA history, but how many can really play?

Coupled with Gobert's performance in a league of this level in Ligue 1, he has not been able to dominate the league, and the draft pick is certainly not high.

The Jazz were full of confidence and were waiting for the 27th pick to take this Gobert, but what they didn't expect was that Richard would cut off the Hu with the 16th pick.

Directly eleven picks higher than predicted, almost entering the lottery show, the Jazz completely couldn't understand what was going on, why Richard chose the inconspicuous Gobert in this pick!

Could it be that Richard had tried out Gobert before? It's completely impossible, how many years has Richard not tried out a rookie?

To be precise, in the twenty years that Richard has been in the league, he has actually tried out a rookie, but that time it was still to trap people.

Tyrone Corbyn didn't know what to do now, they had a chance to win, and they didn't think about any alternatives.

In the end, they were able to use the two draft picks they took from Richard based on ESPN's predictions and their previous tryouts.
