Chapter 1027: The 2017 NBA Draft

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to fans from all over the United States, as well as American fans tuning in on TNTV and Canadian fans tuning in at CBCTV, welcome to the 2017 NBA Draft at Barclays Center in New York, welcome to join us, and some fans who are coming here, thank you for being here."

Tetum's opening words feel extra familiar.

In the six months that Tatum has been in charge of the league, the biggest change in the league is the return to basketball at the beginning of the century.

Even a lot of things are the same as they were in Stern's time.

Because of this, many fans called him "Stern's Shadow".

Just like his opening remarks of the draft just now, that sense of familiarity is precisely because of this.

In fact, purely in terms of personal ability, he is not as good as Xiao Hua or Stern, he is a flat and stable president.

After the opening remarks, the draft began.

The No. 1 pick was the 76ers, who had five minutes to think about it.

This year's No. 1 pick in history belongs to the Celtics, and their pick was previously traded with the Nets.

The Celtics' original target was Tatum, and then the trade with the 76ers became a top pick, and it also achieved the NBA's most well-known white prostitution trade.

But after the butterfly effect, the Nets drafted in 2015, Russell did well, and the Celtics only finished with an eighth pick.

Tatum or something, it's already completely impossible for them.

Tang Tianyuan was in Barbados in the Caribbean, but because the draft was in the evening, he also watched the live broadcast with Olsen after a day.

Although they couldn't make it to the scene, Demps will definitely contact him when they make their choices.

And his two sons really like basketball, and they can't make a lot of noise during the day, and they are rarely quiet at this time under the broadcast of the draft conference.

Five minutes was fast, and the 76ers were quick to make their choice.

Markelle Fultz.

Fultz Tang Tian knew that the champion was ruined by injury.

If he doesn't open his eyes, he is fully worthy of this champion.

In his freshman season, he played for the University of Washington in the NCAA, averaging 23.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.

He was also named to the All-College Third Team of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, All-College Third Team of the Associated Press, All-College Third Team of the Sports News Network, and All-NBA First Team of the Pacific Twelve (PAC-12) All-NBA First Team.

The data honors are all collected, and the 1.93-meter point guard is also quite physical.

There was basically nothing wrong with the choice made by the 76ers.

"A deal happened."

Just when Tetam walked out for the second time, he didn't take the lead in announcing it, but directly announced a deal.

The Lakers used this year's No. 4 pick plus a protected first-round pick (top-10 pick protected) to complete a trade with the Kings and get their pick in the spot.

This deal came a little suddenly, and it also made fans full of anticipation, knowing that the value of the No. 4 pick is much higher.

Tang Tian was not too surprised, the Lakers are quite optimistic about Ball, and there was news that the Suns also wanted to choose Ball, and it was not surprising that he cut off Hu.

Sure enough, when Tetum came out again, he announced that he had chosen Ball with the list of eyes.

Simmons has suffered from a lack of projection to play on the perimeter, and it seems that he will switch to a forward line in the new season, and the potential twin stars of the team formed by him and Ball are also expected.

The Lakers' operation is still okay.

The Suns, who were the third pick, had that idea, and Porzingis had proven himself in Phoenix, and he needed a good point guard.

Now that they have lost Bauer, it's up to them to choose.

Tatum is clearly the better option, but Daron Fox, the point guard in the back, is also quite strong.

Tang Tian was also very curious about this.

"The 2017 NBA first round with the third pick, the Phoenix Suns selected ...... Jayson Tatum, 2.03m small forward, from Duke University. ”

The moment he heard the Suns' choice, Tang Tian couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

The day tube is okay, I chose Porzingis before, and now I choose Tatum, plus Jaylen Brown.

This explosion of wing talent, it seems that like the Mavericks before it, after a wave of drafts, the rise is just around the corner.

After the Suns, other teams also sat down one after another.

The fourth-overall Kings chose Daron Fox.

The Magic, who were the fifth pick, selected Jonathan Isaac.

The Timberwolves, who were the sixth pick, selected Josh Jackson.

The Celtics, who were the seventh pick, selected Daniel Smith.

When it came to the eighth pick, Tatum came out and did not rush to announce the ownership, but broke out the trade again.

This year's draft was really trade-heavy.

And the deal that broke out this time made Tang Tian a little crying and laughing for a while.

The Celtics sent their freshly drafted Daniel Smith and a protected first-round pick (top-10 protected) from the Suns in a trade for Jayson Tatum.

The Suns, in the end, still want a point guard!

After all, they now have Jaylen Brown on the team, and they don't need Tatum that much.

And judging from the trade, it should be that the Kings didn't want to trade with them, and they had to settle for the next best.

Tang Tian really couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this.

The day control is really still the day control, and the operation will always be the same...... Indescribable.

However, by mistake, the first few rookies all went to their respective teams as Tang Tian knew.

There weren't too many surprises in the first-round pick after that.

Tang Tian only paid attention to a few key choices.

The Pacers selected Jarrett Allen with the 18th pick;

The Raptors selected Oggie Anunoby with the 23rd pick;

The Rockets selected Kyle Kuzma with the 27th pick;

The Lakers used the 30th draft pick from the Pelicans to select Josh Hart;

These are all good players in Tang Tian's impression that they will play well in the future.

When the Lakers finish the draft, the first-round draft will be over.

With no first-round picks, the Pelicans have been a little less involved this year.

But this is also a matter of loss and gain, and without Williams, the Pelicans' title defense will not be so smooth.

The first round of the draft is over.

Tang Tian was waiting for the second round to start when Demps called him.

There's a new deal over there, and they were expected to buy the 45th pick with cash, but now the Jazz, who are the 40th pick, are interested in Bryn Forbes.

60 picks plus Forbes, can be traded to their 40 picks.

Demps had come to ask Tang Tian for advice.

Tang Tian quickly gave him advice, change.

Originally, their target around 45th pick was Dillon Brooks, a small forward with a lot of potential.

But if they can change to a candidate around the 40th pick, then they have a new goal.
