Calderon is now playing occasionally when Liu Mang is resting, most of the time playing the position of shooting guard, as a pitcher, the height is enough, but the speed is ...... The Hawks want to play fast, but he is a point guard with his own rhythm, and the stronger the core play, the more prominent this is shown.

And Rondo and Lowry, Liu Mang knows the characteristics of these two point guards better than anyone, and the two of them now look all flawed, but Liu Mang knows how good they are in the future, one is early, he can be the ball carrier of a team with a Big Three since the second year, he has been selected for the All-Defensive Team since the third year, and he has been selected as an All-Star since the fourth year.

Rajon Rondo and Kyrie Lowry!

These two players are also among the six candidates placed by the Hawks coach, but they are the last two because the Hawks don't need a point guard as much and the Hawks have too many ball-handlers.

The Eagles wanted to pick the front line and the interior line, so Ronny Brewer put it first, the other three were Senegalese center Mohamed Sini, the University of Memphis Sean Williams, and the University of North Carolina Cedric Simmons.

The first four shortlisted candidates are all small forwards or centers.

On Mourning's side, after winning two championships, he is ready to leave the Eagles, and he may go to some championship teams that need championship experience, and he may choose to retire, in short, whether it is from the perspective of the Eagles or from a personal point of view, the Eagles are not very suitable for him.

The season that just ended is okay, and next season, Mo Ning, who is a year older and has two championships in hand, I don't know how much motivation he has to fight like the season just ended.

Therefore, it is necessary to make a strong internal supplement, or to change the position of the internal personnel, or to bring in reinforcements, or to strengthen the draft.

However, there is a big gap between the vision of the coaching staff and Liu Mang, who understands the future achievements of these rookies.

The main point is that the 2006 draft resources are too scarce, except for the Italian Nowitzki, the talented power forward Radmarcus Aldridge, who participated in the draft in the sophomore at the University of Texas, and Adam Morrison, who is known as the next Larry Bird, there are no other rookies who are classified by experts in the first echelon, that is, T1.

And then there's only one second gear as well, Rudy Gay.

However, Liu Mang knew that there was another Brandon Roy who could be regarded as a rookie in the T1 file, but Roy was a thorn in his college days, he loved tossing in high school, and was rejected by three colleges, and finally the University of Washington gambled to recruit him into the school.

Anyway, the actual order is not chosen.

"Ace, do you think Rondo and Lowry are better suited for us? Who do you recommend? Steven Price was a little more direct and asked Liu Mang directly what he thought.

Liu Mang's contract can jump out of the player option in advance in 2008, according to the rules of the league, the earliest Hawks can renew Liu Mang's contract in advance from July to November 07, which is more than a year old, so Steven Price attaches great importance to Liu Mang's happiness.

There are many factors that determine the selection of a star, such as the lineup, such as money, but one thing is very important, that is, the star is happy with this team!

It's like Paul George more than a decade later, although he played badly with Russell Westbrook in the first year, he was happy to play together because the two were happy, and finally renewed his contract.

At this stage, Liu Mang has just won three consecutive championships, the lineup is good, and he is full of honors, and the most important thing for the management is that he is happy.

It's not the kind of team core that picks the top three, not to mention the top three, not even the lottery picks, and they trust Liu Mang's vision very much.

Coach Kruger heard this, understood the boss's thoughts, they had already talked about this before, and also asked: "Ace, who do you think is more suitable for us."

？ ”

Liu Mang didn't think about it so much, he was very happy!

Hearing the words of the two, he was a little entangled.

Lowry's words, in many ways, are a better choice, for example, he didn't really start to sit in the starting position until he was 28 years old, and he spent most of his previous seven or eight years as a substitute, and he had a good mentality, otherwise he would not have been able to accumulate a lot of money, and he didn't have to worry about being awkward when he was used as a substitute.

However, in terms of team building, that is, it can be used to trade draft picks and enjoy rookie bonuses in a few years,

Lowry had a miserable early years, with minor injuries, and sometimes when his team traded him, they were sent away with draft picks backwards...... And Lowry doesn't look like he is playing as a substitute, he is worth a lot of money, his strength is there, he is improving every year, and it will be six or seven million a year after the end of his rookie contract.

Bench power forward or bench center, six or seven million a year or even seven or eight million a year, it's not a big deal, interior players are inherently expensive, but a backup point guard is so expensive...... It's normal to be traded continuously.

At the peak of Rondo, he must be stronger than Lowry at his peak, the king of assists and a defense!

The key is that Rondo's peak came early, he was selected for the best defensive team at the beginning of the third year, and he had 10+5+5 data since the second year, which was still obtained next to the Big Three, and he played badly in his rookie year, mainly because the Celtics were rotten, and he played as a substitute, but there were also 6+3+3 data,

If you choose Rondo, you will definitely be able to enjoy the benefits of Rondo's ability earlier, and Lowry's words only have 9+3+5 data in the fourth grade......

In terms of ability, Lowry is more suitable to be selected as a substitute, but ...... Rondo has about the same order, about the same money, and a lot of ability, although the strength of the substitute is overflowing, but the overflow is overflowing......

"Rondo!" Liu Mang made a decision.

"Why?" Coach Krueger still wants to ask why, both rookies are flawed players, talented and well-known for their hard work.

"His hands are very similar to mine, and his arms are long and big, that's him!" Liu Mang said very seriously.

“……”

The office fell silent......

Can this reason be a little more perfunctory?

Coach Kruger covered his head helplessly, forget it, and he definitely couldn't ask anything famous if he asked.

Coach Krueger put Rondo's information away, thought about it, and chose a few from the list that had been passed next to him to use as a cover for the second tryout.

But if you want to choose Rondo, there are a lot of problems, this is a ball-handling point guard!

What to do with Calderón? What is Iguodala going to do?

Coach Kruger felt the troubles of happiness......
