Chapter 180: Elect Nash
After the Philadelphia 76ers chose guard Iverson, the scene was restless for a long time.
Then the second and third picks were the Raptors and Grizzlies, who joined the league, respectively.
There was nothing to be polite about these two teams, with the Raptors picking Camby and the Grizzlies picking Raheem.
These two are known as the two most promising big men in the '96 draft, and it is naturally impossible for them to miss these two difficult teams.
Excluding the special circumstance of the Philadelphia 76ers selecting Iverson, this draft is still going on according to the rules of the general election.
Next up with the fourth pick, the Bucks selected Georgia Tech's Stephen Marbury.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, who were the fifth pick, chose Ray Allen from the University of Connecticut.
Two days ago, Davidson heard from his dad that the two teams were ready to swap draft picks.
It seems that if nothing else, it is estimated that after the draft, the two teams will announce the exchange of Marbury and Ray Allen.
Next up with the sixth pick, the Boston Celtics selected Antoine Walker.
This University of Kentucky forward player is quite interesting, and it is claimed to be a mini version of the bus......
The main reason is that this guy's projection ability is quite good, and his main offensive means are similar to that of the bus, and he is completely an outside-style forward player.
As for whether this Walker can play at the level of a bus, no one is optimistic about it.
The draft template is completely deceitful, and very few media really predict the template for the rookie.
The Clippers, who were the seventh pick, selected blue-collar big man Lorenzen White.
This player's career is not remarkable, but many fans have heard of this name.
He was murdered in his first year of retirement, and eight years later the suspect was arrested, and it turned out to be his ex-wife......
This incident tells us a truth, don't mess with your daughter-in-law if you provoke anyone, the end is really miserable.
……
The next few picks, Davidson listened carefully, and Nash's name did not appear in them, which made Davidson breathe a sigh of relief.
It's good that Nash wasn't chosen, and if nothing else, Nash would be in his pocket.
"I announce that the Charlotte Hornets selected Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick in the first round." Stern read out the thirteenth pick.
Davidson breathed a sigh of relief, steady, Nash is his own!
The Hornets selected Kobe, Davidson had some impressions, and in the information given by the scouts before, there was information about such a high school player, but Davidson didn't care much.
In his opinion, this is a hairy child who has not grown all his hair, and he has not even reached the age of eighteen......
Kobe Bryant was just drafted and immediately set a record as the youngest player to be drafted in NBA history.
As soon as the Hornets finished drafting, Davidson handed a note to the Suns.
"I am announcing that the Phoenix Suns selected Steve Nash from Santa Clara University with the 14th pick in the first round."
At this moment, Nash, who was sitting in the small green room, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his name, and the whole person relaxed.
He was invited to the Little Green House, which means that he has a good chance of being selected by the lottery show, that is, the top 13 picks.
As a result, the first thirteen picks were selected, and the last one to be selected was Kobe Bryant, a high school student who was also inconspicuous in the small green room with him.
Nash is worried that his pick will drop indefinitely, for example, outside the 20th pick!
It's not completely impossible, and it's not like nothing like this hasn't happened in NBA history.
But after the fourteenth pick of the Sun, Nash can be considered to relax, although it is not a lottery show, but it is no difference.
The only thing that makes him a little puzzled is that the Suns have Kevin Johnson, a Hall of Fame-level point guard on the team, why did they still choose themselves?
Is he destined to play Kevin Johnson as a substitute for the next two years?
Thinking of this, Nash couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, no rookie wanted to start his career as a substitute.
If you play as a substitute, the risk is too great, and the chance of being eliminated by the league is much higher than that of those rookies who come up and start the game.
Nash certainly doesn't want to go to the Suns, and he certainly doesn't want to play off the bench for a superstar like Kevin Johnson, because that means it's hard to get ahead.
But now that they have been chosen by the sun, he can't help it, so he can only sigh secretly.
……
Daddy smiled at Davidson, he knew very well that Davidson valued Nash, and now that he got Nash, Daddy was happy for Davidson from the bottom of his heart.
"Wilson, is this Nash strong?"
"As far as I know, it doesn't seem like a good fit for your Kings lineup, right?" Tang Shuai naturally knew that this Nash was chosen by the king of the Sun Gang, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"It's very strong, so strong that I won't change it if I give me a champion." Davidson was in a good mood and said with a smile at Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai looked curious, he couldn't understand where Davidson was sure.
Nash is not like the bus, the bus was selected by Davidson, and countless people feel that this is the reason why Davidson has a poor information.
They didn't know there was such a player as the bus, and if they did, they would choose the bus......
Anyway, a second-round pick, just choose, it's not a pity to waste it.
But now Nash is a player, everyone knows him quite well, and if he is really so good, he will not fall out of the lotto show.
……
After taking Nash, Davidson completely relaxed, and then their king was to help the Suns choose people, and there was nothing else to do.
The Portland Trail Blazers, who have the 17th overall pick, also selected a high school player who is even younger than Kobe Bryant named Jermaine O'Neal.
I have to say that the adventurous spirit of these teams is still quite commendable, and other teams did not dare to choose, so they chose without saying a word.
Kobe Bryant and Jermaine can run for the draft, in fact, they should be thanks to Garnett, without Garnett, a rule-breaker, they will definitely not be eligible to participate in the draft this year.
Kobe's family belongs to the middle class, and it must not be related to poor high school students.
Jermaine's family environment is not good, and like many low-level blacks, he didn't know where his biological father was going when he was a child.
However, Jermaine's mother worked hard enough to work two jobs on her own, so her life was quite passable, not to the point where she couldn't open the pot if she was poor.
……
The drafts were one after another, and the hours-long draft time made Davidson feel like he was on pins and needles, which was really difficult.
He now understands why some teams' management is reluctant to come to the draft, mainly because it is too time-consuming......
For four or five hours, I sat here dryly, and I was not provided with some melon seeds and peanuts mineral water.
