Chapter 956 [Super Newcomer, Tragic Character]

Brian submitted his selection without incident, and the president announced that the Suns had selected Klay Thompson for the 16th pick.

Guo Xu suddenly felt a little empty, he seemed to be able to play casually during the holidays, and this is the rhythm of the finale next season.

The biggest reason why Thompson is not favored is that he was arrested by the police in early March for carrying marijuana. Many scouts think that he will still be a "marijuana lover" in the future, and sooner or later he will become a fool.

At the training camp, Thompson said in an interview. "yes, I think it's a bit ridiculous. I'm not going to risk hurting my draft market for this kind of thing, I've put this thing in the past tense. I'm probably going to be drug censored in the NBA, and I'm OK for that, and I'm sure I'm not going to take another risk because I want to live up to my potential...... I don't smoke anymore, I'm honest. ”

Thompson's words may have been believed by many scouts, but then his physical stats disinterested most teams.

HE IS BAREFOOT AND 197CM TALL AND WEIGHS 93 KG, MAKING HIM SLIGHTLY EMACIATED. He did only five on the 185-pound bench press test, and Curry could do 10 on the physical test. The most embarrassing thing is his bounce power, the maximum jump height is only 80CM, it is no exaggeration to say that even in China's CBA, the swing man's bounce performance is only average.

Thompson was depressed after falling out of the lotto, but he was relieved to see that he was drafted by the Suns, and he smiled happily when he took the stage with his rookie hat. He firmly believes that he will adapt to the tactical system of the Suns and cooperate with Guo Xu tacitly.

Thompson met Guo Xu 10 years ago, when he was an 11-year-old elementary school student. His father, Mitchell, was a live commentator for the Lakers for many years, and he was fortunate enough to get an autograph from the Lakers star and take a group photo.

There are also some good rookies outside of the lotto who have been drafted one after another, and Tobias Harris has been drafted by the Grizzlies, an excellent forward. The Grizzlies reinforced the weakest wing.

Motai Yunas was selected by the Magic, this is an interior player with skills and range, I don't know how it will perform in the Magic.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Mo Tai was a model of death and left an interesting story.

He played in 71 games for the Rockets in the 14-15 season, averaging 12 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Originally, the Rockets offered Motel an offer of 37 million for 4 years, but he verbally refused, wanting to get a bigger contract. As a result, in the last year of his rookie season, Motel's injury status declined severely, and he could only sign a base salary with the Pelicans, and then he was eliminated by the NBA.

The Nuggets have selected Kenneth "Half-Orc" Farid.

The Thunder drafted Reggie Jackson, a strong offensive guard.

The Mavericks have selected swingman Jordan Hamilton. The rookie is very interesting, he fell to the bottom few in the first round, but he has super confidence.

He said in an interview: "I feel like I have a chance to be the rookie scoring champion in the new season, and I have that confidence. ”

However, no, Guo Xu's only impression of this person is that he is a "glass man", and he retired after a few seasons.

The 30th pick was again the Suns' draft pick, and Brian chose Jimmy Butler, who came to be known as the "Jordan Bastard."

WITH A HEIGHT OF 201CM AND A WEIGHT OF 104 KG, BUTLER HAS SUPER PHYSICAL FITNESS, BUT THE DISADVANTAGE IS THAT HIS ARM SPAN IS ONLY 202CM. He played in college for four years and averaged 15.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game last season. He was seen as a defensive blue-collar by scouts, so he fell to the end of the first round.

Guo Xu knows that this is a future All-Star, and he will improve and practice the style of play as an organizational striker every year.

He is good offensively and defensively, which is a weakened version of James, although the Suns already have Roy, but the 30th pick is not selected for nothing.

Next season, Butler has little chance to show and can only be a fringe man, and in the future, when the veteran Hill retires, he can be the main rotation, and when Richardson can't play, he will almost work out.

The Suns have put together an All-Star roster again, and if a few rookies are in their prime, the other teams won't be able to play at all. Guo Xu is preparing to play healthy basketball next season, handing over the task of holding the ball in positional battles to his teammates, and he concentrates on brushing assists.

If this development continues, the Sun will definitely win more championships, and it is impossible to predict how many crowns Guo Xu will have, and it is appropriate to surpass Russell, and then The Lord of the Rings will be Guo Xu's nickname.

According to the idea of the reborn, the draft can be easily completed, not to mention that the Suns are just a few people away, even if they are all gone, Guo Xu can quickly gather a group of reliable teammates who are suitable for the team system.

The second round of this draft can also be Taobao, there are many role players who have played, and there are also stars.

The Rockets drafted Chandler Parsons, and through data analysis, manager Morey is convinced that Parsons will have a future, a small forward who can provide firepower from the outside, and can pass the ball and not possess the ball.

Morey is a manager who is good at analyzing data to see value for money, poaching big-name stars often makes mistakes, and finding role players is very accurate.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Parsons was nicknamed "Gao Fu Shuai" and played very well in the Rockets, but later he fell into a garbage contract as soon as he signed a big contract, and became a representative of high salary and low energy.

The Pacers drafted Davis Belstein, a forward who excels at shooting. No one would have guessed that he didn't join the NBA until 2016, when his signing rights had already been sent to the Spurs.

THE SUNS SELECTED ISAIAH THOMAS, A SMALL MAN AT 175CM, AT THE 60TH SPOT.

Jeremy Lin was immediately under pressure, suspecting that he was going to be cut in the summer, and that his second-year contract was a team option and was not guaranteed. Last season he was just a marginal player in the team, mostly looking for a feel in the development league.

The Suns management is not going to cut Kobayashi, but is ready to trade Dragic, after next season, there will definitely be a team to poach Dragic at a premium, it is better to send him away in exchange for draft picks to achieve a win-win situation.

Like Lowry, Dragic wants to start with other teams and get more balls, and his self-confidence has hit. He also wanted to fight for a big contract and made a deal at the championship celebration party.

Since joining the Suns in 2008, Dragic has been lucky to win three consecutive championships with the team, and he has no shortage of honors. He won't be traded for the time being, and he'll have to wait until the shutdown ends.

"Little Assassin" Thomas also does not choose white, has great potential, and is very suitable to be the sixth man. He is not the same as Butler, he is an excellent instant combat power, he can shoot three-pointers when he breaks through, and he fell to this position because of the defensive black hole.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Thomas Jr. was one of the most tragic players in the NBA.

In the peak 2016-17 season, Thomas Jr. was known as the "strongest 175 on the surface", averaging only 33.8 minutes per game, and could cut 28.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists.

In that year, Thomas Jr. played with an injury and endured the pain of his sister's death to help the Green Army fight all the way to the East Finals. As a result, Angie felt that he had an injury problem, and he abandoned him in the summer and traded him back to the Cavaliers' point guard Irving.

Next season, Thomas Jr. went from an All-Star point guard to a no-ball situation due to injury, and went from a high-salary long-term contract to a base salary to join the Nuggets. He ruined his career by making sacrifices for the team in the playoffs.

He once called Angie to say that he wanted to return to the Celtics, but Angie ruthlessly refused, and the Green Army did not even have a place for him as a substitute.

Joining the Suns, if Thomas Jr. learns to play healthy basketball with Guo Xu, his fate can be changed.

The Suns will stay with all three rookies, and the suspension will not affect the team's reinforcements, and several cores are under contract.

At this time, the sun's summer reinforcement work is almost complete. When the shutdown is over, all that's left is to trade Dragic, and it's okay not to change players, or to sign a veteran player from the free market.
