Chapter 568 [Rich Second Generation, Loser]
The manager of the Clippers, "Baylor", used his god-like vision to select a forward named Yaroslav Korolev, and Guo Xu didn't know how this person got into the lottery.
The 76ers unexpectedly drafted forward Danny Granger with the No. 12 pick, which is also a huge change.
In his previous life, Granger was drafted by the Pacers, and there was no Auburn Hills Palace battle, and the Pacers' draft pick was very low, and Granger's fate changed. He's a star small forward with a great offense and defense, but injuries ruined him. He won the Most Improved Player Award, was an All-Star and won the 2010 World Championships in Turkey with Team USA.
However, joining the 76ers is not necessarily a good thing for Granger, there is already Iguodala on the team, the two positions overlap, how much playing time he can get, whether he can have the ball is a question.
What is certain is that the 76ers' wings have become super strong, and with the addition of Korver and John Salmons, they are good enough to match the Suns in terms of the potential of the swingman position.
THE NUGGETS TRADED TWO FIRST-ROUND PICKS, HANDING OUT HAKEEM VARIK, A FORWARD WHO CAN PLAY THE NO. 3 AND 4 SPOTS, AND JARED JACK, A 191CM TALL HEAVY POINT GUARD.
The Grizzlies also made a change, selecting small point guard Nate Robinson.
The Grizzlies were miserable by Guo Xu in the playoffs, and they wanted to choose a small guard to try to cultivate, and when they faced the Suns in the future, Nate should be able to keep up with Guo Xu's speed.
However, Nate's weakness is very obvious, his height is much shorter than Guo Xu, and 175CM is falsely reported, in fact, it is up to 170CM. In his previous life, when he participated in the slam dunk contest, he stood with the 169CM "potato" Weber, and the two were almost the same height.
Otherwise, Mate's superhuman physicality would not have fallen to the bottom few of the first round, and his speed, bounce, strength, and agility were top in all aspects. Another embarrassment is that his style of play is like that of a shooting guard, and his playmaking skills are average.
The Rockets' options have also changed, as they have fired Jeff Van Gundy and brought in Nelson Sr.
In Guo Xu's previous life, old Nelson commented on the "Yao Mai Combination".
'He's the best player in China, he's amazing on and off the pitch, and a dominant centre-forward like him is something that everybody craves so I'd love to coach him.' However, then the old Nelson said helplessly: "Well, but there is no such opportunity, there has been no opportunity to coach Yao Ming." ”
Also, Nelson Sr. thinks Maddie is underrated. Although Maddie has never led a team to the first round of the playoffs, there is no doubt that his ability has been recognized by those in the league.
"Maddie is an underrated star in the league and I know he can change the outcome of a game on the court, he has the ability to do that, and when I lead the team against him, he always causes a lot of trouble in the game," he said. ”
Now that Nelson Sr. has been given the opportunity to coach the Rockets, he is ecstatic. Yao Ming definitely doesn't need to gain weight, old Nelson attaches great importance to the mobility of interior players, Bradley's nickname "Big Bamboo Pole" is so thin that he can't resist people, and he never gains weight in the Mavericks.
The elder Nelson didn't look down on Luther Hyde, who was not playmaker, and it was a tragedy to play a shooting guard at 191CM, and he suggested that the Rockets draft Lithuanian forward Linas Kreza.
Kreza doesn't necessarily stay, Nelson Sr. chose him for a trade, the striker has average physical fitness, well-rounded skills but no tricks. Nelson Sr. is also ready to trade Juwan Howard, who played with the Mavericks, and his defense is terrible, and the only advantage is the mid-range shot, and Nelson Sr. didn't look down on him when he was with the Mavericks.
The Rockets need a good point guard, but it won't be easy to trade Howard, whose mid-range contract is obviously too big, with a high salary and low energy. In addition, there is a lack of good point guards in the free market.
It was the Suns' turn, and Bryan selected David Lee for the 30th place, a handsome white guy with a height of 206cm and a weight of 111 kilograms.
David Lee, who stayed in a luxury villa to watch the live broadcast, breathed a sigh of relief, if he couldn't play in the NBA, he would have to obey the arrangement to work in the family business, managing dozens of fast food restaurants and dozens of supermarket chains, what a boring life it was?
This is not an exaggeration, David Lee is an out-and-out rich second generation, and his grandfather donated millions of dollars to charity at every turn. His family owned a huge industry and even invested in a forest park and a zoo for the city where he lived. David Lee played purely for fun, even the top salary was nothing in the eyes of his family.
In his previous life, David Lee was a recognized winner in life, proving himself in the NBA, being a two-time All-Star and winning a championship with the Warriors in 2015.
As long as David Li Guoxu is selected, he thinks it is enough, there is no need to poach rookies, he will become an excellent instant combat force.
David Lee was a famous two-pair machine in his previous life, with very gorgeous offensive skills, fast movement speed, suitable for running, bombing, attacking strong and defending weak. The current situation of the Suns, it almost doesn't matter if you defend in one position, and you can kill the opponent by attacking.
The second-round draft is a group of people who are not favored, and there are still some changes.
The Lakers drafted Turiaf for the 31st pick, a stout interior lineman, and they also drafted two-powered guard Monta Ellis with the 36th pick in the trade.
This change surprised Guo Xu, and the Lakers should have chosen Vaughn Weaver, a swingman with strong physical fitness.
After Guo Xu's success, speed guards became more and more popular, and each team wanted to choose a fast guard to deal with Guo Xu, just like back then, every team would find a meat shield center to fight O'Neal.
Looking at the potential, Ellis is definitely better than Weaver, but it's hard to say what he can do with the Lakers. If he can successfully transform into a point guard and have a physical advantage, it will be a tragedy to play the No. 2 position like in his previous life, Kobe Bryant plays an average of about 40 minutes per game, how many opportunities can he give him to perform?
Ellis' transition to point guard is only theoretically possible, and he's good at messing around, not controlling the tempo.
The biggest change in the second round was that "Polish Hammer" Marcin Gortat was directly defeated.
In the previous life, the Suns only selected Gortat in the 57th place, and he has not signed yet, and now Guo Xu has not proposed to draft him in the second round, and as a result, no team pays attention to him. The Magic picked Bynum and won't be staring at Gortat anymore.
If Gortat doesn't play summer league in the NBA in the future, people may not know that there is an excellent center in Europe who can play well in the NBA, and Guo Xu is ready to save him in the future, he is worth saving.
It's normal for Gortat to be undrafted now, because this man's resume feels unreliable, and the Suns will select him in the second round that year because there is no one available for the center position, just Steven Hunter. Later, in order to strengthen the interior line, the Suns were forced to trade with the Knicks, replacing Quentin Richardson with veteran Kurt Thomas.
Gortat started his career in football, training at LKS Lodz in Poland, but later switched to basketball because he was too tall, and he came into contact with basketball very late.
He didn't go to high school, he went to a technical school, and in addition to playing ball, he spent four years learning to repair cars in school, and after graduation, he worked as an apprentice in a repair shop.
Who would have thought that such a man would make a good center? In his previous life, Gortat became a representative of the rookie counterattack at the end.
He's fast, good at blocking and dropping, has mid-range range, and can hook on both sides of the low singles. He is good at blocking and pick-and-rolling, but his disadvantage is that he is not strong enough and has poor confrontation.
In his peak 2011-12 season, Gortat averaged 15.4 points, 10 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.5 blocks in 32 minutes per game.
Guo Xu is not in a hurry, let Gortat practice in Europe first, and wait until the sun picks up ready-made cheap ......
