Henson did spend a lot of time reading the stuff on the table in the evening, and the number of players on the joint tryout was so large and the numbers were frighteningly large. But Henson, with his impressive memory, still remembers a lot of key points. He believes that even if he is on the field and working with the coach tomorrow, O'Brien and Posey will not be able to pick out any thorns in him.

While observing the information in his hand, Henson was also sifting through the data. He split all the rookie profiles into two piles. The first pile is the rookies that you need to focus on, and the second pile is basically the rookies who are not favored by Henson.

In addition to DeRozan, Holiday and Hansbour, who had previously focused on his observations, Henson also found several interesting guys in this pile of materials.

Jodi. Meeks, the predicted pick is midway through the second round. Kentucky is a top student, averaging 23 points per game in his sophomore year, and most surprisingly his record-breaking 117 three-pointers in a single season. The reason why he fell to the second round is also very simple, firstly, Meeks is a junior and secondly, his shooting percentage does not seem to be consistent enough. If he had participated in the draft in his freshman or sophomore year, the pick would not have been so shabby.

Danny. Green, produced by North Carolina. A senior who can shoot three-pointers and defend. But in his sophomore year, Danny. Green's father was involved in a criminal case and went to jail, leaving Danny Brown. Green was hit hard and almost dropped out. If it weren't for this, Green wouldn't have been just a second-round pick.

The last guy to interest Henson is the American homegrown defender Patrick Henson, who has returned from Europe. Beverley. Beverley actually did well at the University of Texas, but in his junior year, Beverley was banned from school for a year for cheating on essays. In desperation, Beverley had to leave school to play in Europe, which made everyone unnoticed. Otherwise, the second round would not have been Beverley's belonging.

These guys were all thrown into the key watch list by Henson. If Bird can't trade for a second first-round pick, the team can use the second-round pick to try their luck. Maybe those guys just now are the gems of the second round of the draft.

After reading the thick information, Henson's eyelids felt extremely heavy. He didn't know what time he fell asleep, he only knew that he woke up the next day on his stomach.

Early in the morning of the 5th, Henson and his team set off for the Shock Sports Center on Chicago's West Side. This year's joint trial will take place here. This is the first reunion of all the rookies before the NBA Draft begins, and it is also the first official contact between the team and the rookies.

The Pacers team consists of five people, including Henson, O'Brien, and Posey, as well as Silas, a video analyst, and Frank Brown. Vogel is the only coach on the entire coaching staff who has no dislike for Henson.

Vogel himself is a good man, and he understands Henson's situation very well. In order to become a basketball coach, Vogel did everything from picking up face towels to doing laundry. At that time, Vogel often went to the five-star training camp to do odd jobs, trying to try his luck there. Until one day, he met former Celtics coach Rick. Pitino. And at the time, Jim. O'Brien was Pitino's assistant.

As a coach who came up from the bottom and is currently the No. 1 assistant coach of the Pacers, Vogel is well aware that it will not be easy to make a living in the basketball world. No one can come up and do everything well, so Huntson's previous poor performance as a data analyst is understandable. Now, isn't that Chinese American doing a good job in the scouting department?

Therefore, at the joint training site, Henson was not left alone. He had a good conversation with Vogel and Silas, and O'Brien and Posey couldn't afford to give Henson a look for the sake of work and team atmosphere.

"Our goal is Hansbru, by the way, if we can, catch that UCB Thai. Gibson. I'll go check out and see which teams are interested in these two guys. ”

O'Brien has planned the focus of today's work as soon as he arrives, and it looks like this guy is really in need of a reliable interior lineman.

But Henson has focused his attention on the defenders, who, in his opinion, are all Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. While the NBA has always had a tradition of "if you don't know who to pick, pick the inside", Henson doesn't believe in these unwritten rules, he only trusts the data in his hands.

Silas carried the camera to shoot Hansbrough and Gibson's training videos, and the others were also evaluating the two inside lines. Henson, on the other hand, walked to the other end of the court in the Pacers' overalls. Over there, the defenders are doing a sprint run test.

One is because Henson already knows everything about Hansbrough and Gibson, and he's been following the two big guys for the past few months. Second, Henson still thinks that the guard is the best option for the Pacers in this draft.

Henson recognized Beverly at a glance because the guy was trying so hard. He's like a mad dog on the pitch, and of course, there's nothing pejorative about it. What the black strong defender wants to bite hard is not a bone, but an opportunity!

Subsequently, Henson also discovered Jodi. Meeks. Meeks' athleticism is indeed mediocre, after all, players with really good physical fitness will not fall into the second round. However, during shooting drill, Henson obviously noticed that Meeks' shooting was much more consistent than before.

It's not because Meeks has a high shooting percentage, but because even if Meeks hits iron, the points of iron are concentrated in one area, and the basketball will not float around. This is the method that Henson uses to judge whether a player's shooting is solid or not. After all, when he feels good, O'Neal may be able to score three points in a row. While others judge a player's shot by the goal, Henson looks at the iron.

Danny. Green, as Henson imagined, was no star by all, but he had his own skills and was a brilliant functional player. Any team that gets him will be of great help. This type of puzzle player may not save your team, but it can make your team better.

After watching the performances of these people, Henson couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. In addition to their own good qualities, Henson also saw their good potential with the data analysis module. Beverley's potential is A-, Meeks' potential is B+, and Danny's potential is A-. Green's potential is an A. Although the "base" of these three people is not too high, and even if they have high potential, they cannot become star players, but in the second round of the show, no one has a better potential value than them. After all, the second round is not the place to find star players.

After watching for a while, Henson prepared to return to his team. After all, the operation was still led by O'Brien, and Henson didn't have much freedom. He could report anything he found to Bird back and later, but he couldn't do anything with O'Brien here.

As Henson walked back, he saw a handsome blonde guy in a Timberwolves overalls. It's not that Henson is attracted by this guy's handsome face, but that Henson and this guy have had an unpleasant conversation.

This guy is the arrogant bastard Henson who blew Henson out of the first row of seats when he was at UCLA!

Henson used the data analysis module to see the other party's name, Buddy. Schiller, like a European name.

"Hey, Schiller, I didn't expect to see you here!" Henson deliberately went up to say hello to the guy, and the rest of the Timberwolves team didn't bother to ask when they saw Henson's name, thinking they were acquaintances.

"Are you..... Were you the guy who was at UCLA last time? It's unbelievable that you're a part of the Pacers! Schiller's eyes widened, the Chinese who was dressed like a homeless man didn't look like a basketball man.

"Hahahaha, I'm so sorry, I sat in your seat last time." Henson patted Schiller on the shoulder, and the handsome blonde man instantly became proud again, thinking that Henson had really come to apologize.

"I've just entered this circle, and I've heard of your name for a long time. I know it's important to be connected in our business, so accept my apology and leave it to our friends? Henson said, holding out his hand with admiration.

Schiller was secretly happy in his heart, he was a small scout, and he actually had a day of admiration.

"You've got the fifth and sixth picks this year, I'm really envious. Pick Ricky with the fifth pick. After Rubio, how are you going to use the sixth pick? "Henson has studied the draft very thoroughly, and he has started to paraphrase the other party.

"We're still looking for it, after all, we have so many options. Johnny. Flynn and Zhu. Holiday and Stephen. Curry is on our watch list. I heard you locked Hanspur? Hahahaha, too, after all, the 13th pick is not a good choice. Schiller bragged about it, knowing how embarrassing the Pacers' 13th pick was. In this matter, this arrogant guy has the capital to show off again.

Seeing Schiller's triumphant face, Henson couldn't help but curse in his heart: This stupid X! You didn't get the picks, you.

"We're still looking for, you know, the 13th pick is kind of embarrassing. At the moment we are also targeting Jonny. Flynn, hopefully he'll be the 13th pick. Okay, I guess I'll have to go, or I'll be scolded again. Henson smiled at Schiller and trotted all the way to his team.

Schiller bared his white teeth, Jonny. Flynn: yes? Thank you so much, idiot, Henson.

And Henson also laughed evilly on the side, that stupid X Schiller, he shouldn't have exposed his team's recent situation. He can say he doesn't know, but he can't say who the team is looking for. Because in this way, the initiative of the operation is in the hands of the Pacers.

As for Jonny. Flynn, the point guard with only C potential, is a name that Henson deliberately leaked. He had a plan in mind, and he believed that Bird would like it when he heard it.
