Chapter 61: Murraysan vs. Bradley
Soon, Davidson saw Jalen Rose's name with the thirteenth pick in the first round.
This pick is actually not high, and now there are a total of 27 teams in the league, of which 16 teams have entered the playoffs, which means that the lottery pick is the first 11 picks.
Jalen Rose is not even a lottery show, but he can become a guaranteed quasi-All-Star level player in the future, as long as he can win it, it must be quite profitable.
But even if Jalen Rose didn't have a high pick, Davidson was a little disappointed.
Because their first-round pick this year is definitely the bottom of the first round for the Nets.
Even if the No. 2 spot is weak, the Nets should be able to retain the top three spots in the East, and if the West is included, the Nets will probably play between fifth and seventh in the league this year.
The final pick you can get, that is, between the 20th and 22nd picks......
Obviously, such a pick will definitely not get Jalen Rose.
Then Davidson looked at the list of players with about 20 picks and found that he didn't know any of them......
……
After looking at the stele, Lao Wang burst out again and squeezed out of the crowd with Davidson.
……
The next morning, Davidson ate his breakfast absentmindedly.
Dad saw that Davidson had something on his mind, and couldn't help asking.
"Wilson, what's wrong? Looking preoccupied? ”
"Dad, I'm thinking about the team's No. 2 reinforcement, do you think we can bring in a satisfactory player before the door of the trade market closes?" Davidson asked with a bitter face.
Daddy shook his head, he was also worried about it.
The No. 2 position of the Nets is a big shortcoming, and the whole league knows that at this point in time, the teams in the league naturally have a cheap price and do not take advantage of the bastards, and the players who could have been sold for one dollar are all offered for two or even three yuan......
This kind of business that is obviously a big loss, Willis Reed is unwilling to do it, the Nets are already small, how can they suffer such a big loss.
"I don't know, Wilson, you don't have to think too much about this kind of thing, the squad building aspect is something Willis has to think about, the only thing we coaches need to do is to take the squad in hand and play a better record." Daddy sighed and said.
"Dad, if we don't end up with a good No. 2 player this season, can we look at this year's draft and add a great backcourt rookie." Davidson asked tentatively.
Daddy shook his head again.
"It's unlikely, our rank will definitely not be high, it is estimated that we are all 20 picks, and it is not a big pit to pick too good newcomers in the backfield."
"What? What are your favourite backcourt players? Similar to Muressan's? Daddy's eyes lit up suddenly......
The Nets signed Murraysan, which can be said to be a big leak, and if this year's draft can still pick up a leak comparable to Murraysan, it will make a lot of money.
"Jalen Rose, I don't think he's weaker than Marshburn, and if we can get him, our squad will be close to perfect." Davidson and his father naturally had nothing to hide, and they told what they thought in their hearts.
Daddy didn't expect Davidson to think so long-term, and this is starting to be the idea of the draft.
"Wilson, I feel like you may be overestimating Jalen Rose, he shines under the aura of Webb and Howard, he looks very bright, in terms of potential and strength, I am still more optimistic about Marshburn."
"Besides, even if we really want to get Jalen Rose, we definitely don't have a chance, and we definitely can't get Jalen Rose with draft picks." Daddy shook his head and said.
"What about through trading? Trading our picks upwards, I guess it shouldn't be too difficult to change the picks on the edge of the lotto, right? Davidson continued to agitate.
Davidson already has a hunch that their Nets' No. 2 recruitment this season may not be successful.
So he set his sights on the draft and gave his dad a preventive shot in advance.
"It's too early to say that, at least until we finish the regular season." Daddy patted Davidson on the shoulder and said with a smile.
For Davidson's dedicated attitude, Dad is quite satisfied.
……
On January 3, Davidson traveled to Philadelphia with the team for an evening away game against the 76ers.
Fans have been looking forward to this game for a long time, and the two super high interior newcomers of the 93rd class are clashes, and everyone wants to see who is stronger between these two super tall men.
Many people are more optimistic about Murraysan, but Murraysan's statistics are much stronger than Bradley's.
The rebounding stats are a little more than twice that of Bradley, which is not a half-star difference.
The Philadelphia 76ers team is also a fish belly, and a few days ago they were in small circles and there was news that they wanted to trade Horner, the core of their team's interior and outside.
The Nets naturally approached, but who knew that the 76ers were not interested in inside chips at all, and they wanted backcourt players......
It's pretty weird, Hornacek has an incredibly accurate projection, is organized, and although he's a white man, his defense is completely on the table.
With such a player, it is really strange that the Philadelphia 76ers are thinking of selling it and replacing it with another backcourt.
Normally, the 76ers completed a trade with the Jazz halfway through the season, sending Hornacek and Shaun Green in exchange for Jeff Malone.
From the perspective of future fans, the Philadelphia 76ers are definitely sending warmth.
Jeff Malone doesn't look at the average scoring of 18 points per game in the Jazz, but the basket can't catch up with Hornacek, and his defensive ability is far inferior to Hornacek.
……
After the start of this game, although the 76ers had Witherspoon and Bradley, two excellent rookie insiders, they were still blown up by the Nets' interior duo.
Among them, the matchup between Murraysan and Bradley is quite interesting, which makes fans dance with their eyebrows.
These two big and tall offensive ends are based on their height, and now the opponent's height is not shorter than their own, neither of them dares to shoot rashly, but after the game, Murray Sauna scored two points, and Bradley only scored one free throw......
On the rebounding side, Muressan's tonnage played a big role.
Bradley was later nicknamed "Big Bamboo Pole", and you can imagine how thin his body was.
Although it is not as thin and scary as Ball, Bradley's tonnage is now only 107 kilograms.
After Muresan was blown up by O'Neill before, he gained all kinds of weight, and now the tonnage has reached 137 kilograms!
Thirty kilograms heavier than Bradley, the two are not in the same tonnage class at all.
In the process of scrambling for rebounds, if Murraysan settles down first, then Bradley will be finished, and he can only watch Mulraysan grab the rebound in the best position.
Even if Bradley relied on his speed advantage to fall into position early, Muressan, who followed closely behind, could easily push it out of the three-second zone......
The result, of course, was that Muresan finished Bradley on the rebounding end.
Both of them played for about 35 minutes in the whole game, and as a result, Murraysan scored 17 rebounds, if it wasn't for a few rebounds that were snatched away by Coleman, I'm afraid Murraysan could have broken 20 rebounds tonight.
Bradley was so miserable that he only got 6 rebounds in the end......
