Chapter 57: Is He Crazy?
The month of the appointment with each team is fleeting......
In the past month, Big Ben, Miller, Iverson and Raheem have announced their participation in this year's draft, which has made the draft market a lot more lively......
Basically, after the end of Black March every year, the authoritative sports media will come up with some draft predictions!
And no matter which draft prediction, Iverson is the top pick!
The leader of the championship for two consecutive years, two consecutive MOPs, and the honors in the Big Ten League are even softer, and it is really unreasonable for such a player not to get the top pick in the draft......
In addition to Iverson, Raheem's draft prospects are also quite good, and the major media predict that the picks are all around the top five, and may even be the top three!
Although Rahim has only played for one season and is not the main player in the team, the strength and potential he showed in the game are exciting for the high-ranking teams!
The mid-range shooting ability is excellent, with three points, good footwork under the basket, strong interior scoring strength, good flexibility, high flexibility, good strength, and calm heart, and he is not the kind of player who loves to cause trouble......
Although the defensive end is not very good, it is not a big problem in the eyes of the teams!
Before entering the NBA, many NCAA players were not good defensively, but after entering the NBA, the defense was soaring......
What's more, even if Rahim's defense has been weak, he can still play an extremely good effect by matching him with a blue-collar coolie.
With all these things in mind, there is no doubt that Rahim can get such a high prediction.
Moreover, Richard clearly remembers that Raheem was a flower show in '96......
As for Big Ben and Miller, it gave Richard a bit of a headache.
Miller's projected draft pick is between the sixteenth and twenty-second picks, and Richard undoubtedly feels that pick is a little too low......
However, considering that Miller is not too good on both ends of the floor and is a bit slow, such a pick-up prediction is actually acceptable.
Miller's strongest point is his playmaking ability, but there are few teams in the NBA that like to play the Princeton system......
The coach in the league who likes to play the Princeton system the most is undoubtedly Rick Adelman.
From the Trail Blazers he coached to the Kings all the time......
In addition to him, there are really few coaches in the league who are willing to always use Princeton as the basic tactical system, and almost every coach has his own tactical system that he firmly believes in......
In this way, Miller is likely to be picked by Adelman's Warriors in the draft, and other teams are not expected to be interested in Miller, because even if they get Miller, they will not be able to bring out Miller's maximum value.
The Warriors' record in the West is currently on the verge of the playoffs, and they may or may not make the playoffs, so the Miller prediction order given by the major media is actually which pick the Warriors will draw in the lottery ceremony......
If the Warriors can make the playoffs, then Miller's pick will definitely have to be pushed back......
And if the Warriors don't make the playoffs, then Miller's pick may even make it to the lottery!
……
Miller's situation, Richard can't say for sure, everything depends on the Warriors' record......
But Big Ben really worried Richard, and his draft pick prediction was 29-36!
Bottom in the first round and top in the second round......
Originally, Richard thought that because of his own reasons, Big Ben would become a sweet spot in the draft market, but now it seems that he does have an impact on Big Ben's draft rank, but the impact did not reach his expectations!
Big Ben's height is too short, and on the offensive side, although there have been some points since the second season, it highlights Big Ben's roughness on the offensive end......
On the whole, Big Ben has been commented by various media as a newcomer with little potential, and may have some rebounding and instant combat power on the defensive end, but no one can say what kind of effect can be achieved against those older professional players.
In this case, who would dare to use a high draft pick to sign Big Ben? It's so adventurous!
……
Although this prediction made Richard extremely dissatisfied, he could only accept this reality, which was better than losing the election under the normal trajectory......
Now it's all about the official start of the draft!
……
On April 1, the management or owners of nearly 10 teams flocked to the small city of West Lafayette.
In addition to these people, countless reporters rushed to West Lafayette like hungry wolves smelling blood!
Richard, an NCAA war maniac, is going to the NBA......
This is probably the biggest news in the American basketball world today!
The first team to make the first move was the Milwaukee Bucks, and their current star player, Robinson, is an alumnus of Purdue, so he found Richard's dorm early in the morning.
"Lee, what you've done is amazing!"
"Come to the Bucks, you and I will definitely win the championship!"
Just met Richard, and the big dog came directly to a bear hug......
This bear hug made Richard directly disgusted, although he had not coached the big dog, but the big dog should not be called Li directly.
Besides, when the big dog announced that he was going to participate in the draft, he didn't tell Richard about the new head coach at all, and even kept avoiding old Philip behind him, and didn't give him a chance to communicate at all!
It is reasonable to say that the big dog should inform the school before the draft.
Of course, Richard will not directly gouge out his own franchise target for the Bucks because of this matter.
The Bucks team is still quite good, and basically can't find any big faults, except that the ball market is so small that it is a little embarrassing......
But as a coach, not a player, who cares about such a thing as the ball market.
"Sit down, there are quite a few teams that have made an appointment to meet me today, so I won't waste time!"
"To get straight to the point, if I were to coach the Bucks, I would put Wenbeck and Douglas on the shelf at the end of June when the market opened!"
Richard really got straight to the point, and said that he would trade the two cores of the current Bucks team!
Wenbeck is a third-year power forward on the Bucks, averaging 21 points per game, and has unlimited potential, at least in the eyes of Bucks management!
Sherman Douglas is a backcourt player that the Bucks just introduced from Green Kai this season, and he also played 18.5 points and 8.5 assists in his peak season.
Richard asked the Bucks to trade the two men......
Is he crazy?!
