The 27-8 record of the San Gabriel High School basketball team until the second semester of the senior year of high school, although slightly inferior to the previous 9 consecutive wins, still created the best record in the history of the San Gabriel High School basketball team. And the players of the St. Gabriel High School basketball team have successfully become stars in the school.

One afternoon, Coach Scott Sr. finally changed the look of his coach T-shirt and baseball cap that had been unchanged for a long time, and replaced it with a brown leather jacket.

"Come on, guys, concentrate a bit." Old Scott blew his whistle and clapped his hands.

As everyone gathered around, Scott Sr. first made a joke to the players: "2012 has arrived, but you bastards are still alive!" ”

Then he paused and said, "We don't have many games left this season, especially the thirteenth graders, and I understand that some of them have dropped out of the basketball team to prepare for college exams. But some of you may not have time to play such a fierce game on the basketball court in the future, the time of high school is gone, and those who are going to participate in the game next, play hard, leave no regrets, and cherish your last high school career! ”

While everyone was pondering, an untimely voice suddenly appeared.

"Coach, what you said touched me so much!" James deliberately pretended to rub his eyes.

"Hell, James, don't mess with my train of thought!" Wallace next to him was about to fight, and then James quickly ran behind Rondo, and Oscar hugged James on the side, and the arena was a mess again.

Old Scott smiled helplessly when he saw this.

"Mo Jie, you come with me." Coach Scott Sr. said in his somewhat hoarse voice.

Major and Scott Sr. walked out of the arena side by side, walking and chatting.

"Mo Jie, are you ready? NCAA。 Scott Sr. asked, looking at the passing students around him.

"Not yet, in fact, I discussed it with my parents, and they and I both think that the NCAA traditional elite school has a better record and is more likely to be noticed by NBA scouts." Li Mojie replied.

"Well, you know what? Sometimes school records don't have much to do with your future draft picks. Old Scott said in a deep voice.

"How so?" Li Mojie was taken aback and asked.

"Then think about it, since the beginning of the new century, who has become the top MOP player in the NCAA?"

"Huh?" Li Mojie thought about it for a moment, and was speechless about this fact. Although I know that in 2012, there will be a MOP Anthony Davis who will become the champion, but in essence, NBA teams do not value NCAA records, but more value the potential of NCAA players than immediate power.

For example, the top picks in the 2016 and 2017 drafts: Ben Simmons and Fultz were both drafted without reaching the NCAA round of 64. In the 2015-2016 season, Ben Simmons played in 33 games at Louisiana State University, averaging 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, but did not bring the team to the NCAA round of 64.

The University of Washington, where Markelle Fultz, the top pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, was selected in 2017 with a record of just 9-22.

This kind of selection based on potential has been showing signs since 1996 and has continued to prevail in the league (poor Kwame Brown), so that many college players are no longer like the players of Jordan's era, honing their skills in college before entering the NBA, but entering the NBA in their freshman year, and some players who have attracted much attention in high school have joined the NBA directly in order to earn dollars early or even graduate from high school.

Because the vast majority of teams with high picks are teams with poor records, and you expect them to pick a rookie with great immediate strength to lead the team to the playoffs? Then this rookie has to be at the level of Magic, Big O, and Jordan. It's more like the Thunder, like the Timberwolves, Lakers, and 76ers like the Timberwolves, Lakers, and 76ers, who are hoarding a lot of high-pick picks and selecting a bunch of potential rookies to improve their records. Of course, the success is naturally a team that rebuilds quickly, such as the Green Army, the Celtics, who successfully put the Nets in hell through a senior-for-future trade. Failures such as: the Timberwolves, who have been rotten for ten years and finally have some highlights, the 76ers, who have been rotten since the new century and have never risen, the chaotic Magic after Howard left, and the Kings who have the most beautiful owner daughter in the NBA, but the management does not act......

There are many reasons why many NBA draft picks don't match the strength of the players: 1. The physical confrontation has become stronger, and the pace is much faster than in college. There are a lot of players who can't adapt to the intensity of the NBA's rivalry.

2. College players are often just physically better, and are defined as having great potential, but their skills and quotient are a mess. Such as Bennett.

3. Many international players like Parker, Ginobili, Gasol Jr., and Jokic have not received much attention because they have received little attention, and FIBA rules are different from those of the NBA, so it is also a question of whether they can adapt, and there is also the possibility that the team pigeons will not be reported, so the ranking will not be very high.

4. Injuries. Since Oden, the NBA has paid special attention to the injury situation of rookies, if Embiid is not injured, then he will be the champion for 14 years, and if the rookie is injured during the draft, it will basically be said that the NCAA is for nothing.

Therefore, if you want to become a high pick, you must meet the attributes of potential players that NBA scouts pay attention to, in addition to the explosive physical fitness, there must be no bad data!

And most of the teams that win the championship obviously don't fit the latter condition!

"Except for Anthony who became a superstar in the league, what about the others? How many can you name them? Old Scott walked over to a lawn, sat down casually, and continued to ask.

"I don't mean to say that you don't recommend going to a prestigious school, on the contrary, I suggest that you go to a traditional elite school in the NCAA, after all, a prestigious school has a lot of experience in developing players. But you have to find a team where you can be a core player, otherwise with the way you play, you can only be the next Cory Brewer if you don't have the ball in your hands, you know? Old Scott said earnestly.

"I get the coach." Li Mojie said firmly.

"One more thing, and the most crucial thing, is that the next game is a game that is broadcast live on California Sports, and it's the most crucial game you've had all season, and you're going to be seen by countless scouts on the field." Old Scott said so much that his throat was a little dry, so he said with a snort.

"You're going to be the strongest high school student in California who is currently in the 12th grade, ---- one year younger than you. Gordon! , whether you can put forward conditions to those famous schools depends on this game the day after tomorrow! ”

"Slam Dunk King? New orcs? ”
