NBA commissioner David Stern took the stage to give a speech, and the fans in the audience booed, since the NBA shutdown in 1998, it has become a tradition for the draft to boo the president, Stern smiled, did not care, and the 2000 draft officially began.

The New Jersey Nets selected the University of Cincinnati's beast power forward Kenyon Martin with the No. 1 pick.

Martin was reimbursed for an injury in the tournament and still became the top pick in the NBA in the draft, and his physicality is so appealing.

The Grizzlies have selected Louisiana State University's Stromeyer Swift, a 208cm tall and 100-kilogram spring man.

Swift's team was eliminated in the round of 16, and he impressed the Grizzlies with top physicality, and if you only look at the college scoring highlights, he is simply stronger than Michael Jordan. His ball quotient is so low that he can't become a star at all, but no one knows about it now, and the media is generally optimistic about him.

Like Guo Xu in his previous life, the Clippers selected Darius Myers, a 206CM tall and 107kg forward, who stole exam papers with Black Widow and Captain America.

He was a player who entered the NBA Draft right out of high school, averaging 22.1 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.4 steals and 7.2 blocks per game in his final year of high school. Because of the exaggerated data, he was called "KG II" by some media, and the cowhide was about to blow through the sky.

Miles is indeed a high school student participating in the draft, but he was born on October 9, 81, a month older than Guo Xu. And although he is physically strong, he is not active in defense and his shooting is inconsistent...... This person wouldn't even be embarrassed to say "KG II" with an iron-blooded jumper?

There was a major change in the fourth pick, and the Chicago Bulls drafted Jason Richardson, who was higher than Guo Xu in his previous life in 2001, and with one more year, he became fifth.

Bulls management believes that Richardson has unlimited potential, bounce and power are top-notch, has a range of more than three points, is less than 19 years old, and is a proper All-Star seedling. And he has an NCAA championship bonus, and the other rookies are either older or the stats are not as good as him, which looks particularly good at a compromise.

Richardson hugged his family at the scene, put on his rookie hat and shook Stern's hand, smiling happily.

Outside the public, Lake couldn't believe and asked, "So high?" Isn't he the third in your team? ”

Guo Xu was also surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect him to be selected so high, his fate has changed." ”

The fifth-pick Magic team selected pitcher Mike Miller, Richardson's high pick looks normal, the same forward, Miller was abused and cried in the Finals, his physical fitness is even worse than Richardson's level, how can He De be in front?

Blake was not satisfied. "Damn, how did you choose this? This fool is a Buddha, right? The finals were of no use at all. ”

"Maybe the magic manager is blind." Guo Xu laughed, and he couldn't explain the selection criteria of the managers.

There's a lot of that going on in the draft, and Miller has the strength to provide instant power, and he's the best three-point shooter in the rookie. But Michael Reed, who is also an instant player, can shoot, and has better physical fitness this year, is not favored at all, and in the three seasons he played for Ohio State, Reed averaged 19.6 points per game, but was only predicted to be a second-round pick, and the reason of the "experts" was that he had a bad record.

In fact, managers generally choose people based on whether they are suitable for the team's tactics, and scouts also have a general selection criteria.

The first is to look at the physical fitness, the second is to look at the spirit of the players, and the third is to look at the origin of the players.

Body, height, and arm span are undoubtedly the first considerations, and no one can teach these things. Speed bounce explosiveness can be practiced, but the golden age is between the age of six and twenty, and it is difficult to improve after that.

Therefore, in terms of the player's body, on the premise of no injury history, the arm span is the first, and then the height is matched, which is explosiveness, speed, agility, bounce, balance, and finally strength.

Mentally, the first thing is whether the player can work in a team environment, a humble player, the coaching staff can teach him to train comfortably, and the stingy player is not liked by everyone. The second is to look at perseverance, not everyone can endure so much hard training, players with perseverance are easier to play, and their quality can almost be improved. Mental attributes can really determine a player's ceiling.

The last background refers to the level of basketball education that the player received at the beginning, what kind of basketball system he has experienced, and the different backgrounds of the players have different styles of play.

Like the players who are now out of Michigan, their specialties are fast offensive and defensive transitions, blocking and dismantling cooperation; Duke University often produces excellent team players who are selfless on both ends of the floor; The University of Florida is a quality forward or three-point shooter.

These are all dictated by the coach's tactical style and will give a label to the young players. Reed is not favored, in large part because he likes to fight.

The Hawks selected DeMar Johnson for the sixth place, a 206CM tall and 91-kilogram forward swingman, with Scott Pippen as the template, and amazing physical fitness.

Looking at the smiling Johnson on the stage, Guo Xu suspected that there was such a thing as fate, even though Richardson's participation in the draft a year ahead of schedule triggered the butterfly effect, he was still drafted by the Eagles.

Guo Xu had a deep impression of Johnson in his previous life, a genius ruined by injuries. In 2002, he was in a car accident in Atlanta and nearly broke his neck, nearly killing him, but he returned to the NBA with a gritty character. He became a very inspirational player, but he failed to return to his pre-injury form and said goodbye to the NBA early in '07.

If he was selected by other teams, he might have been able to avoid that car accident, but now I'm afraid it will still happen, even if Guo Xu knows about it, he can't save this person, he doesn't know what the car accident was.

THE SEVENTH PICK WAS AGAIN BY THE BULLS, WHO SELECTED MARCUS FETZEL, A POWER FORWARD WHO IS 203CM TALL AND WEIGHS 117 KG.

In Guo Xu's former world, Fetzer was very famous, not because he became an all-star, but because of his crazy love of tattoos. He has more than 30 tattoos on his body, you know, at this time, the league's famous tattoo king Iverson only has 21.

The Cavaliers selected Jamal Crawford for eighth; The Rockets picked center Joel Purzbilla for the ninth place. The Magic drafted point guard Kenyon Durin with the 10th pick; The Celtics selected center Chris Meme.

The overall draft results have not changed much, and each team has locked in their favorite targets through tryouts, and there is no public rookie training camp era, and there are few cases of Hu cuts.

Cliffs joined the Pistons at No. 14, was named a Top 10 Conference Player twice, was named to the All-America Team three times, and won one NCAA championship with Michigan State, so such a beautiful resume is not in this high rank, but Cliffes is happy, as a native of Michigan, the team he most wants to join is the Pistons. At this time, he had no idea that this was a big pit.

Morris Peterson joined the Raptors in 17 positions, which is about the same as the predicted position, and he is not very happy because he is going to travel to Toronto, Canada.

The commentator of the live draft lamented: "The only one left for the four players at Michigan State University who was not selected was MOP Jason Kuo." ”
