Chapter 496: The Complete Chaos of the '03 Draft

The Pistons selected Dwayne Wade, with Carmelo Anthony and Daco Milicic all vacated.

In the next draft, everything is messed up!

Facing the two hottest rookies other than LeBron James, the Denver Nuggets were also a little uncertain, and they directly consumed more than 3 minutes of 5 minutes of consideration time.

Then, the Nuggets general manager, Kichi Vanderwiczy, wrote a name on a slip of paper.

Then, David Stern got the note and announced: "In the 2003 draft, the third pick in the first round, the Denver Nuggets chose - 7-foot tall power forward Daco Milicic from Serbia!" ”

Off the court, Qiao Hai held his chin: "The Nuggets actually chose Milicic?" I wonder if the development of the 'Human Victory Cigar' in this life will be changed because of this......"

Joe Hai has observed Milicic's total rating and potential value, his total rating is only 71 points, but the potential value is as high as 91 points, if it were not for Larry Brown's suppression, Milicic should have been able to grow into a superstar level player.

It depends on the Nuggets' ability to cultivate.

The Nuggets selected Milicic, and then the Raptors did not hesitate to choose Carmelo Anthony, who was at the same level as LeBron James and Milicic in public opinion.

Melon had to travel to cold Toronto to partner Vince Carter, but he didn't know if Melon would be able to succeed in a different environment.

With the fifth pick, the Heat lost Wade, Milicic and Anthony didn't belong to them, and the only option they could choose seemed to be Chris Bosh.

But surprisingly, the Heat didn't opt to predict left-handed Garnett Chris Bosh who is in the top five.

Pat Riley went straight to the plate and chose T.J. Ford, and it seemed that the Heat only wanted a guard, and they had no interest in interior players.

Chris Bosh, who was originally predicted to be in the top five, fell directly behind the fifth pick because of the chain reaction brought about by the Rockets' selection of Wade.

The Clippers hesitated for a moment in the face of Bosh's temptation, but considering that they already had Elton Brand on their team, they ultimately chose center Chris Carman from Central Michigan University.

The Chicago Bulls also resisted the temptation from Bosh, and they have no shortage of people on the inside, with Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler to develop, but Jay Williams was seriously injured in a car accident that forced them to give up last year's top pick.

Now, they need a new defender.

As a result, the Bulls chose Kirksynridge at this position, and Chris Bosh continued to slip in the pick.

The eighth pick in the first round, the selection of the Mivolukee Bucks, the Bucks finally couldn't resist the temptation of left-handed Garnett and selected Chris Bosh at this position.

The Dragon King Bosh, in this life, became the Deer King Bosh.

And after the Bucks chose Bosh, the influence of Qiao Hai's little butterfly ended here, and the next draft will be roughly the same as in his previous life.

……

Soon, the draft came to the end of the first round, with the 20th pick in the first round, and the Boston Celtics drafted Dundee Jones, a shooting guard from Duke University, at this position.

Then it was the rocket's turn to choose.

"The 21st pick in the first round, the Houston Rockets have five minutes to consider."

5 minutes, this time, Qiao Hai really hesitated.

Wade has it, there are players who can break the bag with a single ball from the outside, Kyler Korver may be selected in the second round, and there is also an outside shooter.

Well, for this position, Qiao Hai had better choose a completely different player, Kendrick Perkins can be considered, but the team has Cato, and the demand for Perkins is not high.

Qiao Hai flipped through the draft roster for a while, glanced at Josh Howard, then at another name, hesitated, and wrote another name: "Boris Dia!" ”

Then, David Stern received a note and began to announce: "The 21st pick in the first round, the Houston Rockets chose - Boris Dior, a 6-foot-8" forward from France!" ”

Boris Dio did not show up, but apparently, this choice of the rocket surprised many people again.

Qiao Hai hesitated and hesitated, and finally chose a European player who they had very few scouts, and even Sam Presti couldn't figure it out.

However, Qiao Hai didn't explain anything, he had his own ideas.

With an outside shooter and an outside core already in place, Qiao Hai felt that he should choose a player who could enrich the team's playing style.

And Boris Dior is naturally the best choice.

Boris Dio is a ball-holding forward, can play two positions, the third and fourth positions, has a three-point range, can play a low single short opponent, the defense is underrated, the confrontation and movement are good, and the rebounding is average.

With such a player, once Qiao Hai uses his hands, the Rockets will be able to add a variety of offensive routines without even affecting the defense.

Boris Dior's choice is surprising.

And the 28th pick in the first round, the San Antonio Spurs selected Tang Zhendong, which is also a surprising choice, plus the team's Battle, it seems that the Spurs are also going to start taking the route of the Celestial Empire market.

The first-round draft ended quickly, and the second-round selection, before the 15th pick in the second round, the 13th pick, the Orlando Magic selected Zazapachulia, the 14th pick, and the Bucks selected Kisbogans.

Then, with the 15th pick in the second round, Qiao Hai directly wrote Keller Korver's name.

League Vice President Stu Jackson announced: "With the 15th pick in the second round, the Houston Rockets chose Keller Korver, a 6-foot-7-inch tall guard swingman from Creighton University!" ”

After selecting Korver, the Rockets' draft meeting was over.

However, Qiao Hai is still concerned about Xue Yuyang's choice, Datang was selected, but Xue Yuyang has not been selected by a team, it seems that the NBA team still has doubts about Xue Yuyang's type of Celestial Empire player.

It wasn't until the 28th pick in the second round that the Dallas Mavericks selected Xue Yuyang.

In this way, the two young players of the Aoshen team, one went to the Spurs and the other went to the Mavericks, both in the Texas Division, and if they can join as they wish, then next season, the number of Celestial Empire derbies may increase exponentially.

For domestic fans, it is also a good thing.

……

At the end of the draft, the Rockets' trade with the Pistons and Steve Francis and James Posey has not yet been announced.

However, Wade is ready to report to Houston, and the Rockets also notified Steve Francis and informed James Posey's agent in advance that the Rockets will match everything about James Posey, and after the contract extension, James Posey will be sent to the Pistons.

Qiao Hai stayed in New York, and for him, the draft was an important event, and tomorrow's expansion bid vote was even more important......
