After two days of interviews, the four-day 2016 Draft Joint Training Camp came to an end.

Two days later, on May 18, the 2016 draft draw to determine the future of each team was held in New York as the NBA's Eastern and Western Division finals began.

Speaking of draft lottery, this has always been a metaphysics, looking at the history of NBA draft lottery, it has never been the team with the worst record that can draw the best lot, on the contrary, the upset rate of the draft lottery is quite high.

Not to mention Shaquille O'Neal (1993 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 Pick with the Magic) and Joe Smith (1995 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 with a 9.4% chance of the Warriors winning the No. 1 No. 1 Pick with a 9.4% chance of winning the No. 1 No. 1 Pick with a 2.4% chance of being the No. 1 pick with a 2011 No. 1 pick, and the 2008 Bulls with a 1.7% chance of picking the No. 1 No. 1 Pick with a 1.7% chance of picking Derrick Rose. In addition, China's number one star Yao Ming, whose 2002 No. 1 pick was also won by the Rockets with an 8.9% probability.

It can be seen that the draft draw is really no different from gambling.

It is precisely because the draft lottery is full of metaphysics that many teams also play superstition, such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, who relied on owner Dan Gilbert's son Nick Gilbert to draw the first pick twice in three years; Another example is the even better Ray Patterson, the former president of the Houston Rockets, in 1983 and 1984, he won the first pick for the Rockets by flipping a coin for two consecutive years, and selected Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon, his superstitious way of carrying the same watch, staying in the same hotel, and drinking the same drink in the same bar two years in a row.

But superstition is still superstition after all, and this year's draft draw not only did not cause an upset, but also arranged neatly according to the reverse order of the teams in the lottery area.

The Philadelphia 76ers, an old powerhouse that has been rebuilding since 2012, have attracted countless fans to complain, but even so, they have never been able to sign the champion. Their last pick was in 1996, when they chose Allen Iverson, the shortest pick in NBA history.

However, it is worth mentioning that just a few hours before the draft lottery began, Mutombo "Uncle Mu", an NBA celebrity who once played for the Philadelphia 76ers, actually sent a tweet to congratulate the 76ers on winning the first pick. Although he quickly deleted the tweet and apologized for the irresponsible remarks, Uncle Mu's move still caused an uproar. And as the 76ers really drew the top pick, many media also questioned the fairness of the draft lottery for the first time.

The Los Angeles Lakers have won the Eye Pick, which is the second year in a row that they have drawn the Eye Pick, last year they used the Eye Pick to select D'Angelo Russell, and this year they continue to receive the Eye Pick, and they are lucky. In addition, Lakers fans have to thank Kupchak, the team's general manager in charge of the lottery, because if the Lakers can't draw a top-three pick, the draft pick would have to go to the 76ers, and now they are lucky to keep the rebuilding chips.

The host New York Knicks got the pick, and they started the week before the lottery ceremony, and the Boston Celtics, who were in a hurry to make a move, with eight draft picks in hand, completed the deal, and sent two draft picks in the first and second rounds in 2017, plus some cash, in exchange for the Celtics' unknown pick this year (traded from the Nets), but what they didn't expect was that the Nets' draft pick was actually Tanhua, and it was obvious that the New Yorkers got it.

In addition, the teams that received picks 4-14 in the lottery are:

No. 4, Phoenix Suns;

No. 5, Minnesota Timberwolves;

No. 6, New Orleans Pelicans;

No. 7, Denver Nuggets;

No. 8, Sacramento Kings;

No. 9, Toronto Raptors;

No. 10, Milwaukee Bucks;

No. 11, Orlando Magic;

No. 12, Utah Jazz;

No. 13, Phoenix Suns;

No. 14, Chicago Bulls.

As soon as the results of the draw came out, the expressions of the general managers of each team were different, and the general managers who were drawn to the high rank were naturally happy, and the general managers with the idea of an upset were a little disappointed.

According to this year's situation, except for the top three draft picks, the value of the later draft picks is not high, except for Simmons, Ingram and Roy, the level of the other rookies is half a pound.

The only way to strengthen is to trade.

But the trades didn't follow, the NBA is a business field, all deals can be put on the table, so the likes of Divac and Juric are not in a hurry to seek a trade for draft picks, in the end, unless you have the ability to trade to the top pick, otherwise there is a possibility that any of the picks you get will fall through.

Rather than doing it right away, it's safer to wait until draft day to complete the deal. Again, there is no deal that cannot be completed, only chips that are not heavy enough.

After the draft draw, the media hype for rookies waned considerably, and the media spotlight returned to the NBA in May and June, the hottest months of the NBA playoffs.

This year's Division Finals and Finals are simply evil, first the Oklama Thunder led 3-1 and was overturned by the Golden State Warriors, losing the Western Conference championship 3-4.

Then the finals were even more incredible, and the Warriors, who were unbeatable, were miraculously reversed by the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the championship with an absolute advantage of 3:1 with three championship points.

These two super-big comebacks not only made history, but also caused two blockbuster decisions for the two superstars, LeBron James decided to stay in his hometown of Cleveland after winning the championship, while Kevin Durant announced that he would not renew his contract with the Thunder and that he would become a complete free agent......

While the Warriors and Cavaliers were in full swing to compete for the championship, Roy didn't waste any time, he first got the certificate of completion of Chinogang High School, and then went back to the second country to go through the high school graduation procedures, so far, he can participate in the draft justifiably.

Then, his hard work continued, and after improving his physical ability to a certain level, his next ability to prepare to conquer was defense.

Given that defense can't be practiced alone, he brought in his friends Daron Fox and Udoka Azubuk, and his two new American friends praised Roy as soon as he arrived, and the content of the praise was naturally Roy's terrifying physical data.

Azubuuk shouted that Roy is the heir to his idol Maddie, and in terms of physical talent, Roy is indeed not inferior to Maddie, who was also a high school student back then, but Roy is not very cold to this lazy high school genius.

Daron Fox is even more exaggerated, he has put Roy in the same position as Jordan, and he even boldly predicted that Roy will be the top pick in this year's draft.

During the chat, the two little brothers of course also asked about Roy's draft tendencies, about this question, Roy could not give a clear answer, he does not have too clear preferences and dislikes for these NBA teams.

Unlike Wang Jie's feelings for the Thunder and Cheng Yuyang's feelings for the Bulls, he doesn't care which team he goes to, which city he goes to, even if he goes to a sparsely populated and boring place like Salt Lake City, Roy doesn't feel anything wrong.

Back to defensive training, Daron Fox and Udoka Azubuuk are really two good sparring partners, Fox is extremely fast, Azubuke is infinitely powerful, one of them is a guard who can shoot suddenly, and the other is a center who specializes in playing baskets.

Roy has been with the two of them for more than a month, and his defensive ability has improved by leaps and bounds.

Bill Duffy has been here twice during this period, and in addition to reporting the latest draft developments, he also proposed to let his NBA stars such as Damion Lillard or DeMar DeRozan bring Roy.

In fact, this is what many big-name agents in the NBA will do, allowing their older generation of NBA stars to bring potential rookies, such as Roy's rival Ben Simmons will receive special training from LeBron James after the draft, which is also a unique benefit of joining the NBA's big-name agent company.

Therefore, there are still advantages to choosing a good agent, not only can you get a better endorsement contract, but also have a group of powerful brothers to support themselves.

But it's a pity that Roy doesn't plan to accept this for the time being, he still pays more attention to the plan he has made, and step-by-step training is what he wants, for example, after completing defensive training, the last hurdle he has to overcome is the ability to control the ball.

Bill Duffy is also very understanding, and after learning about Roy's plan, he didn't force it, but he made two important suggestions for the draft.

One is to suggest that Roy only participate in individual tryouts for the top three picks in the draft, the 76ers, the Lakers and the Knicks, as a way to show his high profile.

Second, for those teams who want to get Roy, Duffy has decided to give Roy a special showcase day, and he will invite the general managers and scouts of those teams to come to Los Angeles to watch Roy practice.

"Is it really okay to release other pigeons like this?" Roy still had doubts, remembering that he had promised a number of teams to try out on their own, and Duffy's answer was Philadelphia's certainty.

"No problem, it's not what it used to be, it's different, if you want to be a privileged player, then you have to learn to use privileges first......"
