Chapter 955 [Draft Xiao Nian, Taobao Picks Up Leaks]
The Suns have three draft picks this season, No. 16, No. 30 in the first round and No. 60 in the second round.
Since team management has no access to players or agents during the lockdown, and will be fined if found, they will have to wait until collective bargaining is over before they can bring in free agents. The recruitment period is short, and it is difficult to find the right talent in the free market, so the Suns are ready to strengthen this summer by drafting rookies.
With three players opting to retire and swingman Gerard Green ready to go, the Suns will have at least four spots free.
After establishing a dynasty with the Suns, Green stayed meaningless. If he doesn't play for other teams, he'll always be a substitute or a fringe guy and won't get a big contract. He's going to try his luck at a weak team that gets a lot of playing time.
On June 24, the 2011 NBA Draft was held at the Prudential Center Arena in Newark, New Jersey. This is the last NBA draft for the New Jersey Nets, and after next season, the team will relocate to Brooklyn, New York, and be renamed the Brooklyn Nets.
Russian owner Prokhorov has previously made a series of moves that can be called very "tyrant", he bought the Nets for $223 million in May last year, and said that he wants to win the NBA championship in five years. He also spent 510 million to buy the long-overdue project of the Brooklyn Stadium, vowing to build the NBA's No. 1 giant.
Guo Xu watched the live broadcast at home and attached great importance to this draft, he carefully checked the introduction of all the participating players, and gave three main selections and two alternative lists.
This is an underrated draft conference, experts predict that it is a small year of the draft, but Guo Xu feels that he can pick up the leaks in Taobao at will, which is the welfare of the reborn. After looking at the roster of players, he felt that it didn't matter if he missed Kawaii Leonard.
The 12th-place Clippers in the West were lucky to draw the top pick, or maybe it wasn't drawn at all, but the league wanted to give them another pick. As a Los Angeles-based team, the league wants the Clippers to rise, and this is their second pick after Griffin. And in 2008, they also drafted Michael Beasley.
The Clippers have had a high draft pick since the 80s, and "Baylor", who has been the general manager of the Clippers since 1986, is a god, and the most reliable person he selected is Odom.
In 2009, Baylor took the Clippers to court, alleging that the Clippers discriminated against him by age and race over his tenure. This year, a jury dismissed Baylor's charges and ruled that he would not receive any damages. The jury felt that Clippers owner Sterling was just discriminating against Baylor's IQ......
The new Clippers manager drafted Kyrie Irving, the best point guard of the tournament.
The 19-year-old played for Duke for a year, averaging 17.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game while shooting 59 percent from two-point range and 45 percent from three-point range. His godfather is the famous point guard Rod Strickland, with whom Irving learned to play since he was a child.
The Timberwolves drafted Derrick Williams with the No. 1 pick, and he has a very similar style to Beasley, and it is puzzling that Beasley is already on the Timberwolves lineup. Isn't this a location overlap? Experts can't figure out what Timberwolves management is thinking.
The Wizards selected Turkish interior player Enes Kante with a scout pick, and experts predicted that the Wizards would trade him out, and there is already Kevin Love on the team, and Kante is mainly playing power forward, and the two positions overlap.
What the Wizards need most is swing man, and Kanter is an attractive bargaining chip.
The Raptors selected Lithuanian center Joonas Valanciunas for the fourth time, and he was voted Lithuanian Basketball of the Year last season. Even if he has one year left on his contract in Europe, the Raptors are willing to sign him with a high pick, thinking it was worth the wait.
The Pistons drafted Tristan Thompson for fifth place, a super-physical blue-collar power forward with no range.
Tristan has no chance to be LeBron James' younger brother, and if he joins the Pistons and doesn't leave, he may not have the opportunity to meet Khloe Kardashian in the future.
THE PACERS SELECTED THE 211CM TALL JAN VESELI FOR SIXTH PLACE, A PARALLEL INTERIOR WHO LACKS CONFRONTATION AND STRUGGLES TO ADAPT TO THE RHYTHM OF THE NBA GAME.
He is the most eye-catching rookie today, and the scene of his passionate kiss with his girlfriend amazes everyone, and his girlfriend is a super beauty with a model body.
Barkley teased during the live broadcast: "I appreciate her act of clearly asserting sovereignty in this way. She wants to tell everyone that this millionaire is mine, and no one wants to snatch it. ”
THE KING SELECTED KEMBA WALKER FOR SEVENTH, A POINT GUARD WHO IS 185CM TALL AND WEIGHS 83 KG.
Walker played for the University of Connecticut, where he won the NCAA Championship in 2010-11 and was named the Final Four MOP. What the Kings lacked the most was a point guard, and they decisively chose this instant player.
Now the Kings look more promising, in Guo Xu's previous life, Walker was a strongman who was selected as a three-time Eastern Conference All-Star.
THE BOBCATS SELECTED BRANDON KNIGHT FOR EIGHTH PLACE, A 191CM TALL POINT GUARD. Missing Walker is a serious change, because in Guo Xu's previous life, Walker was Jordan's most successful draft.
The Bobcats didn't make the playoffs, and they couldn't pick a rookie with a high pick, which was the most embarrassing situation.
The Jazz chose Bismarck Biyombo for the ninth place, a blue-collar power forward with amazing reach and rough skills on the offensive end. The early arrival of the small-ball era has led to teams wanting the short power forward who can shoot like Haslem, and Biyombo lacks range and his physical fitness has declined.
The Bucks selected the 188CM "double guard" Jimmer Fredette in the 10th place, and later became a super scorer in the Shanghai Sharks in the Chinese CBA, nicknamed "CBA Curry". He is too bad at playing in the NBA, he is not good at organizing, and he will definitely not be able to play.
The Trail Blazers 11 selected 198CM swingman Aris Burke.
The Hawks drafted interior Marcieff Morris for the 12th and the Hornets selected Marcus Morris for the 13th.
The twins look exactly the same, have similar statures, and have similar playing styles, both are good at catching and shooting after blocking and picking, and the range reaches beyond the three-point line.
Both teams lacked an inside line, did not consider choosing a swingman, and unfortunately missed out on the best rookie of the year.
The Spurs sent George Hill back to the No. 14 pick from the Rockets and then selected Leonard.
The Rockets did this because Morey was obsessed with data analysis, and Leonard averaged 15.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in his sophomore season, leading San Diego State to the NCAA Sweet 16 round. His stats aren't bad, but he's not the guy the Rockets need, and he looks like a 201CM power forward.
The Celtics picked Nikola Ucevic for the 15th place, and Angie's next man to send away is definitely Perkins.
If Perkins can't sign and trade, he will probably want to strangle the manager, and he will lose Bird's salary increase. Last season, Perkins begged the Green Army to trade him for a team that would get more playing time, but Angie was adamant not to let him go, and the Green Army needed Perkins' defense if they wanted to make the playoffs.
Now, Perkins has no use value.
Miraculously happened, one of the best players in the class, Klay Thompson, the toughest three-point shooter, dropped to No. 16.
Guo Xu listed Thompson as the team's first choice, which is the most suitable partner for himself, and they can also form a "splash brother". He didn't think he could make the selection, and as a result, Thompson actually dropped to No. 16.
In fact, this is normal, if Guo Xu hadn't proposed to choose him, the sun wouldn't have considered it.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the Warriors chose Thompson because the tactical system needed to shoot three-point swing people, and the Warriors didn't choose God knows which one he fell to......
