The Knicks selected Channingfrye with the eighth pick in the first round, and he is also a pretty good power forward.

Then the Lakers signed Bynum with the 10th pick......

In the blink of an eye, the Pirates draft pick was approaching again, and Richard didn't have to write a note this time.

The Nets' draft pick, although they drew it, actually belongs to the Suns.

As the season progressed, the Suns traded the draft pick to the Buccaneers.

So Richard doesn't have to be so troublesome, he can choose directly.

"I announce that the Charlotte Pirates have selected Danny Granger from the University of New Mexico with the 13th pick in the first round!"

In terms of college stats, Granger is actually no worse than the top five picks, and even better.

You must know that in his senior season at the University of New Mexico, he averaged more than 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game.

One of the reasons why he didn't finish in the top five was his age......

He didn't come to the draft until after graduating from his senior year.

The second is that the grade of the school is not too high, anyway, it is definitely not as good as the grade of famous schools like North Carolina or Wake Forest, which also makes his data not look particularly high.

However, this is certainly a good thing for Richard, and if Granger is valued, he will certainly not be able to get such a quality player in the middle of this first round.

Understated, elegant, and all-round, this is the label that Richard put on Granger, and watching him play is like watching pickled peppers play, which is always so pleasing to the eye.

……

Chris Paul and Danny Granger have arrived, and Richard can be said to have gained a lot in this year's draft.

Among this year's rookies, if you take into account the status and strength of the league, Chris Paul is the only one.

In the second gear, Richard will put De Chubby and Granger into this gear.

The rest of the players are in third or third gear......

Now that Richard has two of the best three rookies of the tournament, what else can he not be satisfied with.

……

The follow-up Lu Kai, who held the eighteenth pick, directly chose Ilyasova.

Under normal circumstances, Green Kai used this draft pick to sign Gerard Green, which is often referred to by fans as Nine-Fingered Green.

This guy was a kid who lost two joints in his ring finger because of one outfit.

Later, he was able to gain a foothold in the NBA, and he also defeated the monster Howard in the slam dunk contest, which was actually quite difficult.

But if you really want to talk about strength, it must not be comparable to Ilyasova.

If it weren't for Gortat's better value, Richard would have used their second-round pick to get this Ilyasova.

This is a space power forward with good three-point ability, and his blocking ability is also outstanding.

Under normal circumstances, he was drafted by the Bucks in the second round and later became teammates with Yi Jianlian.

He can also be said to be another competitor of Yi Jianlian in addition to Villanueva.

Next, the Suns used their first-round pick No. 21 to select Nate Robinson Jr.

It's a little person, but the little people have their own wonders.

The big hat has passed Yao Ming, defended the slam dunk title, won the title of three slam dunks, and the only player whose jersey was retired by the summer league......

His career is still quite legendary.

Soon, the first-round draft is coming to an end.

The Buccaneers have the No. 1 pick in the second round, and it's up to them to make the next pick......

Speaking of which, Richard actually felt a little reluctant in his heart, and directly used this second-round pick to choose Gortat, who was the 57th pick under normal circumstances, and felt a little lost.

The best thing to do is to trade this second-round pick, which is almost as valuable as the mid-to-late first round, for two second-round picks.

This allows Richard to get a good role player while taking Gortat.

But Richard thought about it, these players are actually really a bit chicken in the team, and they don't have so much energy to cultivate, rather than delaying others like this, it is better to let others develop normally.

"I announce that the Charlotte Buccaneers have selected Marcin Gortat from the Polish province of Lodz with the first pick in the second round."

Since it was the second round of the draft, it was Xiao Hua who came out to read out the results this time.

Many teams on the scene nodded and said, how could a person like Richard, who prefers big players, not pick a big man in the draft.

After getting Gortat, Richard's work in this draft is basically over.

Although the champion of this draft is a center, it is actually a big year for point guards.

Of all the rookies, there are only two reliable players in the center position, a Bogut and a Gortat.

Gortat's strength, if you really want to talk about it, is definitely inferior to Bogut.

But the gap is not as big as expected, and when Richard trains Bogut well, he will definitely be able to sell it for a good price.

Centre-forward players are so scarce that once Gortat is developed, he will be worth more than a backcourt player.

Of course, what is scarce is a high-quality center, a big center with stinky tomatoes and rotten bird eggs, and a lot of them can be grabbed casually.

……

The Nets then got Amir Johnson in the second round, and Green Kai chose Reed instead of Monta Ellis.

Ellis was still drafted by the Warriors.

Since then, this draft has come to an end.

……

Early the next morning, Richard met with Stotts of the Bucks for a press conference.

Naturally, this press conference was an announcement about the Bogut transaction.

Bogut was dumbfounded, what about becoming a super rookie like Yao Ming?

How did he get sold to the Bucks in a good way?

With the scum lineup of the Bucks, what do you compare with Yao Ming......

When he learned the news, Bogut was going crazy, he couldn't have imagined that Richard would be willing to sell himself.

Doesn't he like big men the most?

And the other protagonist of this deal, Chris Paul, is overjoyed.

The Buccaneers currently have only one point guard, and that's Payton Sr.

After joining the Pirates team, if nothing else, just in terms of playing time, it must be enough.

You don't have to worry about your playing time......

Even if his performance is not satisfactory, Richard can only use himself when no one is available.

Because Richard had no other choice......

In this case, Paul feels that he has been lucky, at least he has a good start to his career.

……

As soon as the press conference ended, Richard asked Cowens to inform the three boys that they would report to the team a week before the summer league began.

This next offseason will undoubtedly be quite hard for this group of newcomers on the team, because Richard has already made up his mind to train them in hell this offseason.
