Chapter 273: Carter as an Alternate
Davidson is going to wait until the championship parade is over before revealing it to the team.
Now is the time for them to enjoy the championship, and Davidson naturally can't talk about these disappointments.
In the dressing room, the crowd enjoyed champagne and cigars, and although this was their second title, it still meant a lot to them.
Especially Drexler, who joined the king this year, trembled with excitement.
Unexpectedly, the wish that the rocket failed to fulfill, was completed in the king.
It just so happened that his contract was over, and then the championship was in hand, and it was time to say goodbye to this league once and for all.
……
Back at his accommodation, Davidson couldn't wait to get into the club.
Although there is still some time before the draft, now that Davidson has successfully qualified, he should be able to choose his new natal player when he enters the club.
Sure enough, after entering the club, the club's prompt sounded in my head.
"Congratulations to the buyer, Mr. Davidson, for successfully advancing to the senior buyer and obtaining an additional place as a natal player."
Hearing this prompt, Davidson's heart pounded, and he didn't know if Carter's name was among the next three options given by the club.
If there is, it will be convenient, he will win Dazhi in the draft, and then replace Muresan with Dazhi.
"Senior Buyer Mr. Davidson, please choose one of the following three players to be your natal player!"
"Dirk Nowitzki, power forward, 213 cm tall."
Davidson was overjoyed, and the first alternative player came with a big hand.
When Davidson evolved the German tank system for the bus, he naturally learned about Nowitzki's name.
Nowitzki was selected by the lottery pick, and Davidson guessed that his future achievements should be good.
For Nowitzki, Davidson actually has a limited understanding, after all, international players are not well-known in the basketball circle of the United States.
Of course, there are also some international players who have put on quite a good performance in international competitions, which has attracted attention.
However, Davidson remembers that in the last two years, there didn't seem to be any too bright newcomers.
The player is seven feet tall, and Nowitzki looks like a good choice if Davidson has envisioned an interior player if Carter doesn't have Carter in his alternatives.
However, if you want to choose Nowitzki, it is actually quite troublesome, Carter is the fifth pick, and Nowitzki is the ninth pick, both of which are very high.
The Grizzlies only have one first-round pick on hand this year, so naturally they have to choose Carter, so Nowitzki is not a must-have option here with Davidson.
"Ralph Alston, point guard, 188 centimeters tall."
The next second alternate player, Davidson, can be said to be thunderous.
Alstom's reputation in basketball circles is quite loud, and it is not too much to say that he is the Jordan of streetball.
Of course, streetball and the NBA are certainly not the same thing, many people are not optimistic about Alstom, although he also signed up for the 98 draft, but it is expected that the draft pick will definitely not be high, and it is estimated that he will not be able to enter the first round.
……
Neither of the first two options has a shadow of Carter, and Davidson has a bit of a sore egg.
It would be bad if the next third alternative wasn't Carter.
Then Davidson estimated that the next trouble, it is very likely that he will still have to draft Nowitzki, and then let the Grizzlies make a big trade to get at least a top-eight pick, and then he can guarantee to get Nowitzki.
In the past two years, because the quality of rookies is particularly good, the value of draft picks has skyrocketed, not to mention the top eight picks, or the top 20 first-round picks, which are quite valuable.
With the Grizzlies having no family background, it's really not that easy to acquire a top-eight first-round pick.
Unless......
Unless Davidson sells Raheem, the Grizzlies' only potential star, it would be more than enough to get a top-eight pick, but what fool can do that.
Raheem is called the next McHale, and no matter how big Davidson is, he can't do anything to trade Raheem for a top-eight pick.
Moreover, in Davidson's future team building plan, Raheem is actually quite important.
He's also a spacious, space-based power forward, and his three-point shooting last season was over 40 percent.
However, due to the Grizzlies' tactical system, Raheem didn't have many opportunities to shoot three-pointers.
The main reason is that the Grizzly Bear's inner line is too chicken garbage, and if Raheem pulls it out, the inside line will be completely finished.
And the Grizzlies under Davidson's coaching will certainly not have this kind of problem, and Davidson will not allow his team to lack a reliable interior line in any case.
When he was with the Kings, even if Muresan was traded, there was still a reliable Barkley on the team.
……
Just as Davidson was pondering, the list of third alternates came out.
"Vince Carter, quarterback, 198 centimeters tall."
The sound made Davidson breathe a sigh of relief, and it seemed that his luck was still as bad as ever.
I really wanted to come to something, and Carter, who I was so much looking forward to, actually appeared in the alternative.
There are a total of 58 players in the draft, and the odds of being able to have one of the 58 players in the three alternative selections are definitely low, but Davidson still hit the big luck and really ran into Carter.
Now that Carter is here, there is nothing to hesitate about next, just to choose Dazhi in the draft to replace Muressan.
In this way, the Grizzlies' roster for next season will be almost perfect.
There may still be a gap compared to the Kings, after all, the Grizzlies' foundation is too weak, and it won't be long before Davidson is confident that he will catch up with the Kings and let the Grizzlies sit on the throne of the strongest team in the West.
……
chose Vince Carter neatly, but the draft has not started yet, and Davidson can't meet Carter, so he can't evolve Carter for the time being.
Carter, a player, Davidson has long known through channels.
Of all the players who participated in the '98 draft, Carter and Mike Bibby were undoubtedly the best backcourt players.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a few big men with outstanding potential in this class, Carter and Bibby would definitely be the top two in the draft.
Compared to Carter, in fact, Bibby definitely has an advantage in the draft.
The reason is that Bibi plays the point guard position.
Nowadays, the fish belly team chooses to build the cornerstone of the team, and there are generally two options, one is to choose the interior line, such as O'Neal and Duncan.
However, most of this shining rookie interior line is selected by the top pick, and those teams that do not have a top pick, only a list or a scout sign, many times choose a rookie point guard.
The point guard is also an excellent building block.
Very few teams build a team with a point guard unless the point guard is on the caliber of Jordan.
