Chapter 825 [Three Rookies, Cheap Must Be Picked Up]

THE BOBCATS SELECTED DJ AUGUSTIN, A 183CM POINT GUARD, FOR NINTH, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THE MANAGEMENT, AS THE TEAM DRAFTED SHORT POINT GUARD RAYMOND FILTON IN 2005.

If the Bobcats don't trade Augustin in the summer, he'll only be able to play less than a few minutes off the bench this season, and if he goes on with Felton, he won't have to defend from the outside.

The Kings selected high school forward Brook Lopez for the 10th place, and the manager was very excited because Lopez was their number one target, and no one should be surprised to fall into that position. What the Kings lack most is a center, and one Hawes alone is not enough.

LOPEZ IS ONE OF THE BEST INTERIOR PLAYERS IN THIS DRAFT, WITH A HEIGHT OF 213CM AND A WEIGHT OF 125 KG, WITH A STABLE MID-RANGE SHOT AND EXCELLENT LOW FOOTWORK, AND SUPER OFFENSIVE ABILITY.

The Bulls picked Jason Thompson, a lanky interior who played against the poor, for the 11th place.

The Pistons drafted two-way guard Jerry Bayless for the 12th pick, and after sending Billups away, they had to struggle to find a guard.

The Warriors picked power forward Anthony Randolph for the 13th place, a tall and skinny interior line with strong athleticism.

The Nuggets have 14 picks for swingman Brandon Rush, who is the swingman they desperately need. Last season, Anthony Carter and Iverson, two small defenders, started together, and the outside line was often blown into slag, and J.R. Smith didn't come off the bench to defend very well.

The Timberwolves selected Robin Lopez for the 15th pick and a center bench for Al Jefferson. There are a lot of high-quality interior players this year, and any one of them is a great defensive blue-collar team. In Guo Xu's previous life, Robin was still a starting center with the Bulls in 2018, and he was an excellent meat shield.

Guo Xu watched the live broadcast of the draft on TV, not at all worried that the Suns would not be able to select the right player, he had already provided Bryan with 4 lists, three preferred and one alternative.

The Suns have three draft picks this year, 23 in the first round, 28 in the first round, and 43 in the second round. Two of those draft picks came from a trade with the Magic, one was a first-round pick for the team, and the team's second-round pick was traded.

The Raptors selected Maris Speights in the 16th place, who is 208cm tall and weighs 116 kilograms.

The Pacers selected center Roy Hibbert for the 17th place, and the future player who plays Bosh is a superstar, and the other player who plays is a "high round" exotic player.

The Grizzlies selected JaVale McGee for the 18th place.

THIS RESULT IS VERY SATISFYING FOR THE GRIZZLIES MANAGEMENT, MCGEE IS 213CM TALL, 122 KILOGRAMS, HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 229CM, AND HAS SUPER PHYSICAL FITNESS, AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A SUPER DEFENSIVE PLAYER. He fell to this position because the technique was too rough and he lacked range.

The 76ers selected JJ Hickson in 19, and the previous drafts of each team had a lot in common with Guo Xu's memory of his previous life, but this year it was a complete mess. There are too many butterfly effects, and each team has changed in terms of ranking and strength, and the players needed are also different.

The Nets have selected center Alex Atkinsa for 20 to strengthen the interior line one step closer. In the past, the Nets selected Ryan Anderson, an open-minded interior lineman, and now that the team has David Lee, the management has changed its mind.

The Hornets drafted Ryan Anderson at No. 21, who lacked a power forward and started last season with Lewis in a cameo at the No. 4 position, and had a terrible matchup and rebounding control. Anderson's style is a good match for Paul, and he is good at catching and shooting.

THE EAGLES SELECTED CENTER COSTA KUFUS 22, A BLUE-COLLAR MAN WHO IS 213CM TALL AND WEIGHS 120 KG. For half a season, the Hawks coaching staff knew that Murphy couldn't play center, he mostly rebounded and just brushed the backcourt board, and his defense was still very poor.

FINALLY IT WAS THE SUN'S TURN, AND THEY SELECTED SERGI IBAKA FOR 23RD, WHO IS 208CM TALL, 110 KILOGRAMS, AND HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 226CM, WHO CAN PLAY BOTH CENTER AND POWER FORWARD.

Ibaka's draft template is the famous "Rain Man" Kemp, which shows how strong his physical fitness is. He was able to fall to No. 23 because he had a two-year contract with the Spanish team and could not immediately log into the NBA.

He has the speed of a small forward, a slam dunk contest-level jump, and some mid-range shooting. If he can join the NBA immediately, it will definitely be a lottery show.

The Suns will stay with Ibaka in Spain next season and don't need him to join the team to become an instant force. Because there is no shortage of interior players in the team right now, he and Gasol Jr. are only one person who can get enough playing time.

The Suns didn't meet competition for Ibaka, in Guo Xu's previous life, the Thunder traded for a No. 24 pick because of the lack of an inside line, and they didn't trade draft picks this year, and the team already has Al Horford, who has stronger comprehensive ability and has the potential to become an All-Star.

The Mavericks drafted Swingman Kooteney Lee, a good instant role player.

THE LAKERS SELECTED DARRELL ARTHUR, A 206CM TALL AND 107-KILOGRAM POWER FORWARD, WITH MID-RANGE SHOOTING ABILITY AND GOOD ATHLETICISM. There are too many strongmen on the wings in the team, and they miss the swingman Batum.

The Jazz selected French teenager Nicolas Batum, Quentin Richardson had a poor shooting percentage last season, shooting less than 40 percent, and Batum could be a backup for him and Kirilenko at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions.

The Cavaliers drafted swingman Dante Green, whom the Rockets traded for Artest in his previous life, a guy who is only good at dry pull-up jump shots, and had an unexpected outbreak in the summer league.

The Spurs have drafted two-way guard George Hill, a player he has long favored.

It was the Suns' turn again, and they selected center DeAndre Jordan.

Little Jordan, who was invited to enter the "Green House" to participate in the draft, saw that he was about to fall to the second round and was about to die, he had top physical fitness, but his skills were too rough, and the training camp was almost blown up by all the insiders, and the draft evaluation dropped again and again. Just looking at the body, he is stronger than Bogut and Bagnani.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Little Jordan's skills and shooting could not be practiced, so he looked down on this pure blue-collar worker. However, the team's first-round pick Jordan Jr. is obviously the most cost-effective, and he will also be the most valuable bargaining chip in the future.

When there is no clear draft goal, it is not wrong to choose a center with good physical fitness, and many teams will be willing to bet on his talent.

After joining the Suns, Jordan Jr. is not completely useless, he is very fast after blocking and dismantling, and passing to him is a violent dunk. If the opponent fouls in time, it will be more torturous, and his teammates will have to watch him make free throws, often with a three-no-touch.

There were also some good role players in the second round, and center Pekovic, who couldn't make it to the NBA for the time being, was drafted by the Trail Blazers and was likely to run into a curse.

The Timberwolves drafted point guard Mario Money, the MOP of this year's NCAA Final Four, who was not favored at all.

The Bucks drafted Luke Richard Bamot, the defensive wing.

The Bulls selected center Omir Asik......

When it came time for the Suns to make their selection, Bryan chose Slovenian player Goran Dragic, a two-way guard who is 191cm tall and weighs 86kg.

Dragic has excellent ball control and shooting range beyond the three-point line, and was an excellent second-rate star in Guo Xu's previous life. In his peak 2016-17 season, he averaged 33.7 minutes per game with the Heat, scoring 20.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists while shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from three-point range.

Joining the Suns is bad news for Dragic, who has to be a backup for Guo Xu and Lowry, and even if he can make a cameo at quarterback, he won't be able to play for long. He was targeted by the reborn, Guo Xu felt that it was brainless not to pick up the cheap, and left Dragic to other teams, and those people would not thank Guo Xu, just let him go without renewing the contract in the future for a few years.

After this selection, there is no more strongman in the second round.
