Chapter Seventy-Five: Larry Brown's face changed
"Alright, Chuck, the draft is about to begin."
"We are all looking forward to your choice this year, and last time you chose Muressan, but we are very envious."
Larry Brown smiled and patted his dad on the shoulder, acting as a peacemaker.
When Daddy heard this, he burst out laughing.
"Larry, you're wrong, George Mulesan is not my choice, it's Wilson's choice, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Moreover, this time I came to Indiana just to chat with my old friends, and I don't get involved in the draft, and I leave it to Wilson to take care of it."
Many league bigwigs at the scene suddenly looked at each other, and Chuck Daley was joking?
Let a hairy boy in his twenties be in charge of the draft?
It's not a joke whatever!
"Chuck, you're still so fond of joking." Larry Brown said with a smile as he patted his dad on the shoulder.
Dad waved his hand solemnly, "It's definitely not a joke, Wilson's choice tonight is my choice." ”
……
Stern was on the pitch, and everyone was seated and waiting for the draft to begin.
A few people laughed and told Davidson to continue predicting this year's draft, but Davidson waved his hand and declined.
"I am announcing that the Milwaukee Bucks selected Glenn Robinson from Purdue University with the first pick in the first round." Stern read out the winners.
Kidd and Grant Hill were then drafted by the Mavericks and the Pistons, respectively.
The Pistons had good luck in the lottery last season, finishing with the third overall pick and getting the top pick Grant Hill.
Daddy's face is happy, the Pistons can be said to be the team he has the deepest feelings, and now that he has an extremely good rookie, he is naturally happy for the Pistons.
The Timberwolves selected Donnie Marshall with the fourth pick, and the Washington Bullets with the fifth pick selected the second of the Michigan Tigers, Juwan Howard.
The top five picks were basically the same as the media predictions before the draft, and the top five rookies of this year were taken away by the teams.
What's weird is that there wasn't a single interior player in the top three picks this year, and it wasn't until the fourth and fifth picks that there were two interior players.
And Marshall and Juvan-Howard are both No. 4 players, not center players.
It can be seen that there may not be any decent center players on the NCAA side this year.
The Philadelphia 76ers, who are the sixth pick, also chose an inside, 211 cm tall Sharon White, who can play in the fourth or fifth positions.
The Clippers, who were the seventh pick, picked small forward Rammond Murray.
Next up is the Kings' eighth pick, and Davidson wonders who the Kings will pick with that pick.
You must know that Davidson had previously contacted the Kings about swapping draft picks, but they couldn't be negotiated.
"I am announcing that the Saramento Kings have selected Brian Grant from Xavier University with the eighth pick in the first round."
When he was in charge of the player's trial, Davidson knew a little bit about the player.
This is a very physical No.4 player, 206cm tall, and can sometimes play as a central striker.
The style of play in college is quite similar to Coleman, and it seems that the Kings have really coveted Coleman for a long time, and when Coleman couldn't get it, he drafted Coleman Jr. with the eighth pick.
Whether little Coleman can grow to Coleman's level in the future, the ghost knows.
……
After the eighth pick, the next pick is the ninth pick.
Coach Green was in his seat, raising his hand at Chuck Daley.
To outsiders, this action doesn't seem to make much sense.
But the on-site officials are all league bosses, and they naturally know what this action represents.
The Nets made a trade with Green Kai and got the ninth draft pick from Green Kai.
……
Daddy waved his hand directly at Green Kai head coach Chris Ford, and then pointed his finger at Davidson.
Davidson meeting, also in the seat with hands raised.
Then I picked up the one in front of me, wrote Jalen Rose's name, folded it and handed it to the staff at the scene.
Many people were stunned, could it be that what Chuck Daly said was true?!
In tonight's draft, the Nets really put Davidson, a hairy boy, in full charge?!
"Chuck, did you really put Wilson in charge of the draft?" Larry Brown asked, looking shocked.
Daddy nodded, "That's natural, not just tonight's draft, the previous draft pick trade was also operated by Wilson." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
The Nets are crazy, Willis Reed is crazy, Chuck Daley is crazy.
Although Wilson is a very magical young man, but such a big deal, and it is also a transaction related to lottery draft picks, actually put this young man in full charge?!
It's not crazy, what's it!
Dad didn't care about the shock and uproar at the scene, and smiled as he waited for Stern to announce the ninth pick.
Dad looks confident, but he is actually playing the drums in his heart.
Can this Jalen Rose play as Davidson said?
If he can play it, then with his own repeated efforts to build momentum for Davidson, Davidson's future may be a smooth road in the future.
But if this Jalen Rose falls into the water, then Davidson's future life will definitely not be so good.
"I am announcing that the Boston Celtics selected Jalen Rose from the University of Michigan with the ninth pick in the first round."
Larry Brown, who was on the side, changed his face directly when he heard the name Jaylen Rose.
Because Jalen Rose is the player he's prepared to choose!
The Pacers have a 13th pick in their hands this year, and he asked around in his small circle that no team with a top pick is interested in Jalen Rose.
Larry Brown is arguably the most well-connected head coach in the league, and the news he gets in his circle must be quite reliable.
The reason why veteran coaches are more popular with the team is that they are in a circle full of league executives, and they can naturally get some information that is beneficial to the team.
But this time the news that Larry Brown got was obviously not reliable at all, and Jaylen Rose was actually cut off.
If he had been cut off by those cunning guys, Larry Brown would have felt better.
At the moment, he was cut off by the hairy boy not far away, and Larry Brown's face immediately turned blue.
He's not the kind of coach who likes to use new guys, and with the Pacers making it to the Finals last season, it doesn't look like it matters to Larry Brown if they can get Jalen Rose.
But in fact, Larry Brown is quite fond of Jaylen Rose.
In his opinion, take Jalen Rose down first, train it slowly, and be the successor of Reggie Miller in the future.
Now the successor of Miller, who he is optimistic about, was cut off by a hairy boy......
"Wilson, why didn't you come to us for the Pacers when you contacted you to trade draft picks?"
"I'm afraid it cost you a lot of money to get the ninth pick from Boston, right?" Larry Brown asked Davidson with a smile and as calm as he could.
How could Davidson not feel Larry Brown's unnaturalness, thinking of the Pacers' thirteenth pick this year, Jalen Rose was normally selected by the thirteenth pick, and guessed the reason for Larry Brown's unnatural face at the first time.
Dare this Jalen Rose is normally a player drafted by the Pacers.
