Of course, Su Dong is not generous, and he also wants to monopolize Roy's cash cow alone.

But it's a pity that after this period of exploration, he found that to enter the circle of American sports agents, there is no "old driver" to guide the way, and it is simply a fool's dream.

Those big agent companies, such as Excel Sports Management (representative Jeff Schwartz), BDA Sports Management (representative Bill Duffy), Priority Sports & Entertainment (representative Mark Battlestein), have almost carved up the entire NBA star market, if Su Dong still insists on independent packaging to promote Roy, That's not a big cost.

Su Dong must obey the water and soil of the United States, in case there is a bad pool, not only will the meat be gone, but the soup will probably not be drunk, so it is better to be soft, and joint development is better than losing all your money.

However, now that it is the Christmas holiday, various brokerage companies are on vacation, and since they can't do serious things, Su Dong simply pulled Roy to talk about the draft prospects.

This is Su Dong's old career as a scout, and it is also his most talked about topic.

Regarding the NBA draft, it is generally divided into "big years" and "small years" according to the quality of the rookies of the year, and according to common sense, as long as there are a few recognized potential stocks inside and outside the circle to participate in the draft, it can be defined as a "big year".

The NBA's most famous draft years are 1984, 1996 and 2003, which are known as the "84 Diamond Generation", "96 Gold Generation" and "03 Platinum Generation".

The core figure of the "84 Diamond Generation" was undoubtedly Michael Jordan, when there were only 23 teams in the NBA, and the draft had to be drafted for ten rounds, which was protracted and time-consuming. And how many superstars have emerged this year, let's take a look at the list:

Hakeem Olajuwon with the first pick, Michael Jordan with the third pick, Charles Barkley with the fifth pick, and John Stockton with the sixteenth pick, all four players have been inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame, not to mention other stars such as Sam Perkins and Kevin Willis.

The representative of the "96 Golden Generation" is Kobe Bryant, the NBA of that era has entered its heyday under the leadership of Jordan, not only the number of teams has increased to 29, the attention of the draft is also unprecedentedly high, this year's rookies are super in terms of quantity and quality, in addition to Kobe Bryant, including Allen Iverson, Stephen Marbury, Ray Allen, Peja Stojakovic, Steve Nash, Jermaine O'Neal, etc., All used to be the big names of the Red Pole Alliance.

Finally, let's talk about the "03 platinum generation" closest to us, in fact, the most famous people in the 03 draft are also four people, namely the well-known LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, two of whom were James's teammates, and the other is his buddy, which is really a veritable "brother basketball" generation.

Generally speaking, the probability of picking a superstar in a big year of the draft is a little higher, but it is not excluded that there will be "parallel goods", such as Sam Bowe in 1984 and Darko Milicic in 2003. Of these two leaders, one retired early due to injury, and the other went back to his hometown to farm without even playing in the NBA.

Back in 2016, it was a draft year that everyone recognized. It's not just a small year, the small year in 2016 is not a little small, looking at the top picks in next year's draft, there are only two poor people, Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram.

Ben Simmons was born in Australia and is a man who lacks leadership qualities, and although he is in decent physical condition and has occasionally performed in this year's NCAA tournaments, such as the "Double 20" against Marquette University and the 43 points against the University of North Florida, the overall performance is not good enough. And in last year's high school game, his stats were 28 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.6 steals per game, which looked good, but naturally dwarfed by Roy.

Compared to Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram is even worse, he was not outstanding in high school, and his scoring means almost relied on his excellent physical fitness, which over time caused his projection ability to improve slowly, and he can become the favorite of the top picks, half of which is also the reason why he is the tallest of the short.

To sum up, this is also a major reason why Su Dong tried his best to recommend Roy to participate in the 2016 draft, 2016 is a small year of the draft, and there are no particularly outstanding rookies at all, in this case, Roy has a lot more chances to get a high pick.

And if he chooses to play in the NCAA last year and participate in the 2017 draft, he will face much more competition.

Su Dong is a smart person, taking advantage of Roy's excellent performance in the California Championship now, and then a few waves of fierce hype by the media, with Roy's unique background as a Chinese player and a fairly good sunny appearance, the chance of entering the lotto area is quite large.

Now is their chance.

"So you can see that the rookie strength of 2016 can only be counted as average, this is your chance, Roy, you have to do your best." After Su Dong finished speaking, he took out another stack of thick materials.

"You've been good enough to see NBA scouts come to see you play the last game against Northwood High School and the last game against Palos Vertis High School."

"Scouts? Brother Su, did you see what team's scouts are coming? "Hearing that there are NBA teams looking at themselves, Roy is excited.

"No, you still expect those scouts to say 'hey, I'm a scout for the Los Angeles Lakers' with their badges pinned, but I saw what they said about you, and it wasn't bad." Su Dong said and handed the information to Roy, "You can take a look at these materials, they are all scouting reports I compiled about your future draft opponents, it is always beneficial to know yourself and your opponent." ”

Roy took the information and flipped through it roughly, most of them were NCAA players, and there were at least a hundred people.

"There are only 60 rookies who can be selected in the draft every year, and the rest can only go back to college or go to the NBDL (NBA Development League) to return, and the competition is unprecedentedly cruel......

Su Dong also explained the precautions of the draft, and here Roy found something amazing, "Hey, Brother Su, why didn't you tell me that there are other Chinese players going to participate in the draft?" ”

"Oh, do you mean Zhou Qi? That's right, he's going to be in the 2016 draft, and he's the core of the national youth team, so you should meet when you get the chance. ”

"Hmm...... No, there's another one here. Roy shook the information in his hand, "Isn't there another one named Wang Zhelin here?" ”

"Wang Zhelin, hahaha, I almost forgot that he also announced his participation in the draft." Su Dong smiled.

About the two Chinese players who participated in the 2016 draft.

Born in 1996, Zhou Qi, nicknamed "The Big Demon King", is a rare tall player with excellent physical conditions in China, and he has a great chance of being selected.

Wang Zhelin, who was born in 1994, is a little worse, because he is slightly older and his physical condition is not as good as Zhou Qi's, and his prospects are not very optimistic even for most Chinese media.

Compared to the two of them, Roy, who is not yet 18 years old, is undoubtedly more dominant, and now he just lacks enough recognition from insiders.

Su Dong was still talking endlessly, and his phone suddenly rang.

It's Shirley, and recently Su Dong and Shirley have been talking as often as lovers.

"Oh, oh, oh, okay." Su Dong on the other end of the phone just responded, and he couldn't tell from his expression that he had heard any news.

After a while, Shirley and Su Dong finished cooking the phone, and Su Dong hung up the phone and looked at Roy with a wicked smile.

"Okay, Roy, do you know what your little girlfriend's dad wants to do?"

"Hey, Brother Su, don't talk nonsense, Orange is not my girlfriend."

"Whether it's or not, your female friend's dad is about to become the owner of the Sacramento Kings!"
