Chapter 20: The Draft

Murraysan didn't know how fast he was running the 100 meters, but he could clearly feel that he was faster than he was usually training in.

At this moment, he saw Chuck Daly staring at him with blazing eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart.

"Young man, you stay in New Jersey until the draft is over, and I can give you a promise that I will take you with the 16th pick in the first round." Chuck Daley said softly to Muresan.

Murraysan was shocked, he felt like he must be dreaming, the Nets actually gave him a draft promise?!

"What's the matter, don't thank you Coach Daley." Davidson grinned, stepped forward and whispered to Muresan on the shoulder.

The plan he had set before was all successful, and Davidson was naturally happy.

"Thank you, benevolent Coach Daley, for being a good man." Muresan was so excited that even the word mercy came out.

Romania is a country where religion is quite complicated, and Muresan may have used the word a lot when he prayed.

Tolbert on the side almost vomited blood, it's strange today, someone actually said that Chuck Daly was merciful?!

Chuck Daley obviously didn't expect it either, so he paused for a moment, and then became happy.

"Wilson, good job this time."

"Tolbert, tell those teams to suspend trade talks and wait until the draft is over." Chuck Daly had a rare smile on his face.

These days have been quite torturous for him, and today there is finally good news.

……

Seeing that Chuck Daley's mood has improved a lot, Davidson is also sincerely happy.

"Mr. Davidson, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Murraysan apparently still didn't react, and the trial ended so easily?

"No dreams, George, congratulations, you're going to be a first-round pick with the Nets after the draft."

"Also, call me Wilson, I'm the same age as you, so you don't need to call me sir." Davidson said with a smile.

"You're only 22 years old and you're a coach, God, it's incredible." Muresan said in shock.

Davidson waved his hand, "No, I'm not the Nets coach, I'm Mr. Daley's assistant." ”

"That's awesome enough, I don't know why, I always feel like I've seen you somewhere."

"I've been thinking about it for a long time lately, and I can't figure out where I've seen you."

Muresan looked confused.

"Don't think about it if you can't think of it, we'll see each other often in the future anyway." Davidson patted Murraysan on the arm and said.

"That's right, we'll see each other more often in the future!"

"Thank you, Wilson, you are truly my nobleman!"

……

After helping Murraysan find a place to live in New Jersey, Davidson began to wait quietly for the draft to begin.

He still enters the club every night, but Davidson is just talking to Sledgehammer every day, and there is nothing special.

Sledgehammer is also waiting for the start of the draft, and he has become a signature player in his own team, so it is easy to influence the team's draft.

And the natal player he values is only a second-round pick, so he doesn't have any pressure at all.

Exactly who it is, because of the club restrictions, Sledgehammer certainly can't tell Davidson.

Once this player is selected and he evolves into a player of the White Lightning system, in Sledgehammer's words, it will really rise.

Sledgehammer's first natal player was himself, and he evolved himself into the Turkish Magician system, and with a shooter, it would work quite well.

Davidson definitely didn't know who this Turkish magician was, and it sounded quite subclassy, with a strong copycat smell.

……

On June 16, Chuck Daley boarded a plane to Detroit with Davidson.

This year's draft was held at the Pistons' home arena, the Auburn Hills Palace.

Originally, Willis Reed wanted to lead the team, but Chuck Daly stopped him.

It may be that Chuck Daley wants to take Davidson to see the world, and if Willis Reed leads the team, Davidson is not qualified to go.

It's also possible that Chuck Daly misses Auburn Hills Palace, and he will lead the draft anyway.

Davidson is naturally looking forward to it, he is definitely really entering this circle now, and he can only see the draft on TV in the past, but this time he can participate in person.

On the evening of the 17th, Chuck Daly entered the venue in a formal suit with Davidson, who was also in a suit.

After seeing Daddy Chuck, many insiders at the scene greeted him warmly.

Chuck Daley has done absolutely bad things in the league, but what makes Davidson wonder is that his popularity is quite good, which is really puzzling.

Chuck Daley also nodded in greeting, and took Davidson to find a seat in the venue.

There are all the management of the teams in the league, and to be able to achieve the position of management, the age must be almost fifty years old, even if there are very few young ones, there are also in their forties.

The immature-looking Davidson sat in this group of people, which was really a bit eye-catching.

"Old Chuck, who are you going to choose this year?" Rockets head coach Tomjanovich, who was not far away, asked with a smile.

"Rudy, why are you asking this? Isn't it possible that you want to cut me off with your 24th priority? Chuck Daley's loud voice echoed throughout the room.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Tomjanovich hurriedly waved his hand.

Although he has a glamorous playing career, he is a junior of Chuck Daley in the coaching industry.

Chuck Daly was quite relaxed and chatted with the people around him.

Twenty minutes later, David Stern came out to announce the official start of this year's draft.

"I announce that the Orlando Magic selected Chris Webb from the University of Michigan with the first pick in the first round." Soon, Stern was announced.

This result is not unexpected, even if the Magic now have a BUG-level player like O'Neal on hand, they will definitely still choose Webber with the top pick.

It doesn't matter if you don't need it, you can sell it.

There was a five-minute wait time for each pick to be announced in the first round, and Chuck Daley patted Davidson on the shoulder, "Wilson, how does this Webber look like to you?" ”

"The natural strength is very strong, otherwise he would not become the champion, but I don't know if he can adapt to the system of Golden State." Davidson didn't show timidity in front of a bunch of alliance bigwigs, and said in a rather calm tone.

"Young man, well-informed enough, so sure that Webb will be sold to the Golden State?" Someone on the side asked with a smile.

Davidson nodded.

This is not the information he got from the stele, in fact, the stele only has the names of the players, not even the team that was selected.

The reason why he nodded in confidence that Webb would be traded to the Golden State Warriors was because Chuck Daly told him.

Chuck Daley has a close relationship with Warriors head coach Nelson Sr., and it's fairly normal to know this kind of inside information.

Before he arrived, Chuck Daly told Davidson a lot about this and asked him to perform as well as he could tonight.

Anyway, first show your face in front of the big guys of all parties in the alliance, and let the alliance know that there is such a person as Davidson.

In order for Davidson to really embark on this path, Chuck Daley is really well-intentioned.

It can also be seen from this why those bad boys are so convinced of Chuck Daley, a person who is extremely fierce to his enemies, but cares for his own people.
