Chapter 533: Milicic joins the Pistons

"I declare that the draft has officially begun!" Stern muttered on stage and finally announced the start of the draft.

Everyone sat up straight.

After a while, Stern slowly walked out of the backstage with a strange smile on his face.

"I announce that the Cleveland Cavaliers have selected LeBron James from St. Mary's High School with the first pick in the first round!"

Stern's voice was quite loud, and the choice was not unexpected.

It's a well-known thing that the Cavaliers want to take James......

Previously, the Cavaliers were fined for James, and they allowed James to train with Cavaliers players without declaring draft qualifications, and as a result, they were fined a lot of money.

Now that the Cavaliers are using the top pick in their hands to choose James, naturally no one is surprised......

No one was surprised by the champion show, but many people were curious about the next Bangyan show.

Everyone knows that the Pistons' choice is next, and they are quite curious who Richard will choose with this list?

Is it Carmelo Anthony, who just led Syracuse University to the championship this year and won the MOP?

This probability is quite high, anyway, everyone at the scene felt that Richard estimated that Anthony would be chosen.

But when Stern announced the candidates for the list, everyone was dumbfounded.

"I announce that the Detroit Pistons have selected Darko Milicic from Serbia with the second pick in the first round!"

Wow, there was an uproar at the scene, and almost everyone in the field didn't expect that Richard would choose a center!

Could it be that Richard's appetite was so big? Yao Ke's combination can't satisfy him?!

The first center and second center in the East are now playing under Richard, and this guy has used the precious list to pick a center.

It's no wonder that everyone didn't expect it, because in their eyes, it was completely unthinkable.

In their opinion, Richard is most likely to choose Anthony, followed by Wade......

Unexpectedly, Richard came up and directly chose a center Milicic.

There is a big election, this is the unspoken rule of the draft, but in the eyes of various teams, the Pistons obviously have no shortage of interior lines, wouldn't it be more perfect to choose MOP Anthony?!

For a while, two teams began to get agitated, they were the Nuggets and the Raptors.

Originally, they also expected Richard to choose Antony, and they were ready to use their No. 3 or No. 4 position to choose Milicic, but Richard suddenly came with such a hand, and they were caught off guard.

But they certainly have options......

"I announce that the Denver Nuggets have selected Carmelo Anthony from Syracuse University with the third pick in the first round!"

"I declare,...... Chris Bosh!"

Following Richard, the Nuggets and Raptors selected Anthony and Bosh respectively.

It's exactly the same as history, and the next pick is the Heat, and if nothing else, they'll pick Wade.

Sure enough, Stern was on stage again......

"I'm announcing that the Miami Heat selected Dwyane Wade from Marquette University with the fifth pick in the first round."

Richard nodded, anyway, the top five picks have not changed at all, and they are still the ones selected by those teams.

Seeing that Wade was selected by the Heat, Richard sighed secretly, he could be regarded as missing out on Saowei.

Throughout Wade's entire career, it can be summed up in one word, not the cheeks of the gang, but the ......

It's really sassy, from the beginning to the end, from the beginning of the career to the end of the career, it's always been sassy.

Even he retired in 19, but he was so sassy that he happened to retire in the same year as the famous Japanese female artist ****, and the key is that both of them started their careers in 03.

……

The top five picks have been selected, and the next few picks are similar to history.

The Clippers selected All-Star center Chris Carman.

The Bulls chose Kirk Hinrich, one of their future outside duo.

The eighth pick was the Bucks, who picked TJ Ford.

Anyway, in Richard's opinion, the three teams are not at a loss, and the players selected are quite useful.

Next up is the ninth pick the Pistons got from the Knicks.

This draft pick was a three-way trade for the Kings to pull the Knicks......

Richard thought about it, and chose David West on the safe side.

The reason is simple, under normal circumstances, David West is the eighteenth pick, and Josh Howard is the 29th pick......

Although Josh is better to use, I wonder if someone will cut David West.

So Richard was more secure and chose David West directly with the No. 9 pick.

"I am announcing that the Detroit Pistons selected David West of Xavier University with the ninth pick in the first round."

The scene was in an uproar again, good guy, is Richard guilty of a crime?

Why the hell did you choose an inside player......

And quite unexpectedly, he drafted David West, you know, this guy's draft prospects are not particularly good, and he didn't qualify for the Little Green House.

Now Richard actually has a crush on him?!

……

Then, with the fifteenth pick in the first round, Richard had another amazing maneuver, using the mid-first round pick to select Josh Howard.

Josh Howard was even predicted in the middle of the second round at the lowest point in his previous draft prospects......

The media rated Josh Howard as rough and not star-like.

This evaluation is quite interesting, and it almost opens up to say that Josh Howard is ugly.

There is nothing wrong with that, after all, Josh Howard later won the name of the Dallas double ugly in the Mavericks.

The other player of the double ugly is Daniels.

It's nicknamed Dallas Double Ugly, so it must not look good......

All parties are now a little unpredictable about Richard's meaning, so they are waiting to see what Richard does next.

Waiting until the 27th pick in the first round, which was the last draft pick on the Pistons' side, Richard selected Luke Wharton with a frown.

In terms of strength, Luke Wharton is naturally not the best choice, and even Richard may be able to choose someone stronger than Luke Wharton with his eyes closed.

But after all, this is to return the favor of his daddy, Bill Wharton......

From this, it can also be seen that the innate advantages of these second ancestors, without his father, Richard feels that little Wharton may have a chance to lose the second round, let alone the second round.

is now selected by Richard in the first round, although it is a bottom position, but it is also a first-round after all, and he can get a guaranteed contract.

……

By the time the second-round draw began, it was already time to replace Xiao Hua with the draft list.

"I announce that the Detroit Pistons selected David Lee from Purdue University with the fifteenth pick in the second round!"

Richard's choice did not come as expected......

David Lee, a player, they all know a little bit about it, and that's the star of Purdue anyway.

But this year, Purdue University's record is really scum, and the national championship didn't even pass the first round, and was eliminated directly.

And in the trial session, David Lee's physical fitness is also quite mediocre, and even in the inner group, it can be said that he is extremely at the bottom.

Such a player, if he wants to say that he is not selected, it is not that there are still teams willing to take the bottom signing of this round to take a risk.

Now he was selected by Richard in the middle of the second round, which is expected.

David Lee came out with the West Lafayette gold medal, and looking at his expression, it was quite unpleasant.

Originally, he thought that Richard would use the Pistons' own first-round pick of 27 picks to select him, but he didn't, but chose a second-generation ancestor Wharton Jr.

That's pretty much a record, the lowest pick a player has ever entered in the draft.

Even in the second round of Big Ben before, the draft pick was higher than David Lee.

No West Lafayette player who normally came out of Purdue to participate in the draft was ranked lower than David Lee......

At this moment, David Lee was naturally quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Seeing that David Lee's face was not good, Richard sighed, this matter is indeed wronged by this kid.

But who made this kid not listen to himself, Piston......

……

Next, Richard had two rather embarrassing signings left in his hands.

One is the 27th pick in the second round, and the other is the 28th pick in the second round of the Kings......

It's all the bottom of the bottom anyway.

Originally, Richard was going to package these two signatures and trade up to the middle of the second round.

As a result, no team is willing to trade, and it may be troublesome......

The purpose of the upward trade, Richard originally thought that it was to win the American Jay Chou Korver.

Korver's quality is good, especially the three-point level, and it will be a pretty good championship puzzle.

The key person is also simple, not a troublemaker, and he smiles at everyone, and Richard still appreciates this kind of player.

But helplessly, no team is willing to trade draft picks, and Richard can only give up.

With the addition of Josh Howard, the Pistons are already overcrowded with forward guards.

There are already too many players at the small forward and point guard positions......

Even if he wins Korver, Richard estimates that he may have to play in the Development League at that time, after all, the roster is full.

In this case, you will harm this Jay Chou......

……

"I announce that the Dallas Mavericks selected Xue Yuyang from China with the 26th pick in the second round."

Hearing that Xiao Hua announced the news, Richard shook his head and laughed, and Xue Yuyang was chosen by Niu again.

……

"I announce that the Detroit Pistons selected Udonis Haslem from the University of Florida with the 27th pick in the second round."

After Xiao Hua announced the news, everyone in the stadium frowned and thought about it, as if they didn't have the impression of this player in their minds......

But it's normal to think about it, it's almost time for the draft to end, and almost all of the players who are selected are disdainful of the teams, and it's quite normal to be unimpressed.
