Under normal circumstances, the Grizzlies actually owe the Pistons a first-round pick right now.

Previously, in the trade for Otis Thorpe, the Grizzlies sent the Pistons a first-round pick.

It's just that this first-round pick did not agree on a trade time, and it could be until 2003 at the latest......

The Grizzlies have had a very high draft pick in the past two years, such as the just-concluded '98 draft, which is the second pick, and with such a high pick, the Grizzlies are naturally reluctant to give it to the Pistons.

What people didn't expect was that after such a delay, this draft pick was really dragged to the last year, that is, in 2003, when the Grizzlies were still the top pick, and the Pistons used the Grizzlies' pick to select Milicic.

The main reason is that the Grizzlies had a high draft pick before 03, and they were reluctant to give it to the Pistons, but they had to give it in the final year, so they could only sign the list to the Pistons.

That's why the grizzlies don't have a clear position about their situation, in other words, they don't have an X number in mind......

In '98, '99, and '00, the Grizzlies were all on the list for the past three years, and in '01, they were the sixth pick, in fact, if you have X number in your heart, you should give the sixth pick to the Pistons......

But the Grizzlies are still reluctant to have the sixth pick, feeling that they will definitely have a good harvest this year, and the draft pick will definitely be lower next year.

As a result, he was the fourth in 02......

The grizzly bear was reluctant again, until the second pick in 03, there was really no way, so he could only send it out.

This is like the mentality of the Raptors now, they sent out the first-round pick, but they also felt that their record would be better and the draft pick would be lowered, so they were willing to send it.

If the Grizzlies had given the sixth-overall pick to the Pistons in '01, Milicic would not have been so miserable in '03......

In a bad team like the Grizzlies, as long as Milicic is given ample opportunities to play and straightened to the core, then Milicic's life will be much better, and he will not retire after playing for a few years, and then go to grow vegetables in the greenhouse......

……

Now the Grizzlies will definitely not encounter such an embarrassing situation because of Davidson's arrival.

According to Davidson's plan, the Grizzlies will be able to give the draft pick to the Pistons after the next season.

After all, the Grizzlies are not as strong as they used to be, and they will definitely make the playoffs this year, and the draft picks will definitely not be high.

Sending away his own draft picks and then using the Raptors' draft pick to select the natal player is Davidson's current plan.

The 99 draft stone, Davidson also watched it at the Vancouver club, and the current favorites include Sean Marion of the University of Nevada, Ron Artest of St. John's University, and Ramar Odom of the University of Rhode Island.

These three forwards are some of the brightest college players this year, and Davidson knows something about them.

All three can be counted as small forwards, but they have their own strengths.

Marion wins in rebounding and mobility, Odom wins in all-around, and Artest wins in defense.

Of course, these three people are actually able to play as a power forward, not necessarily in the No. 3 position.

However, Odom's pick on the draft stone is the fourth pick, and Davidson feels unlikely to take it.

Although it is unlikely that the Raptors will enter the playoffs next season, their record is definitely expected to improve, and it is unlikely that they will get the fourth pick, so Odom basically doesn't have to think about it.

Marion is the ninth pick on the draft table, while Artest is the sixteenth.

Davidson feels more likely to get Artest......

It's just that according to the report given by the scouts, Artest is a bit understaffed and seems to be a bipolar patient, which makes Davidson reluctant to choose Artest, which may become a problem for the team.

Bipolar disorder is short for manic-depressive disorder, also known as bipolar disorder.

Sometimes it's manic for no reason, and sometimes it's depressive for no reason.

If future fans know enough about Artest, they should know that Artest is indeed a typical patient with bipolar disorder, and he himself admits it.

After suddenly becoming irritable, Artest caused a lot of things, such as breaking Jordan's ribs and Harden changing the style of the ball with an elbow hammer......

But when he was depressed, he became compassionate again, for example, changing his name to Ci Shiping, which means loving world peace......

With such a player, Davidson feels like he can't get to the Grizzlies because it could cause some unforeseen trouble.

Carter and Dazhi are both relatively gentle players, and it is really not a rational thing to have a time bomb like Artest by their side.

However, it is precisely because Carter and Dazhi are gentle that Davidson feels that the next natal player needs to find a tougher style.

Marion's style is tougher, but unfortunately the pick is higher, and if he is the ninth pick, Davidson is not sure that he will be able to get it.

In short, there are three outstanding forward college players in the United States, and none of them are particularly suitable.

If Davidson wasn't afraid of trouble, he wouldn't have had a chance to get his hands on it.

Outside of these three, Davidson saw Andrei Kirilenko's name in the draft stele.

The name is typical of the Russian style, and one of Davidson's previous player manuals contains an introduction to Kirilenko.

However, the introduction of the player manual is not very detailed, and Davidson only knows that this is a Russian striker with a strong style of play.

On the draft stone, Kirilenko's pick is the 24th pick, and if Davidson wants to pick this position, it will be quite easy.

Since Kirilenko was used as an alternative, Davidson naturally wanted scouts to probe Kirilenko's situation.

It didn't matter, Davidson felt quite confused.

Kirilenko, a young man, is a little too strong.

Before the age of sixteen, he started playing in the Russian league, which means that next year's Kirilenko will only be nineteen years old, but he already has more than three years of professional league experience.

Not only is the league experienced, but the strength is also very good, and he was selected for the all-star team of the Russian league.

The gold content of the Russian league is still good, higher than that of many European leagues, you must know that the Russian men's basketball team has been ranked in the top five in recent years.

For such a young man, Davidson wondered why the draft pick was only twenty-four.

You must know that Nowitzki, a young German player who entered the league last season, does not have such conditions as Kirilenko.

In the end, Davidson pondered carefully, and the only explanation might be Kirilenko's nationality......

The Cold War in '91 had just ended, and it had only been a few years since the Russians were not very popular in the United States, which may be one of the reasons why Kirilenko was not a high draft pick.
