Chapter 335: Pick an ordinary one
In this past NBA season, the Sacramento Kings, who were in deep confusion, changed hands, but their bad luck did not end, because they only drew the fourth pick in the draft pick, you must know that they are the third from the bottom of the league this season, even if there is no top pick, but the top or the flower pick is okay, but unfortunately, the Kings only drew the fourth pick.
Now all NBA practitioners know that Jin Niang will be a big year for the draft, not only a group of very good young players have emerged in the NCAA, but also many overseas professional players have also participated in the draft, including many core players who play in the European Basketball League.
James, who led Syracuse University to the North American Collegiate League Finals on this year's list? Hart is a recognized candidate for the top prize, and the two-meter-one-zero James? Hart may not be physically strong but can play anywhere on the court, and his fundamentals are extremely solid.
Before the Kings changed hands, the entire Kings team was actually in a mess, the head coach was busy fighting for power with the core players, and the management was busy dealing with the big and small shareholders back and forth, but the team was the consensus of the whole club, and their goal was actually James? Hart.
But now that the Kings have changed hands, all the previous managers have been dismissed, and the coaching staff has been completely reorganized, Wang Lei has become the one with the most power in the whole team, he has his own goals, like James? A player like Hart who needs to take up a lot of shooting power is not in Wang Lei's plan.
"I said, man, do you really want to pick him? How do I think he doesn't seem to have much future at all. ”
"Just pick him, Francis, fame doesn't necessarily apply, not to mention that we don't have more options now, the current league is too focused on physical fitness, and I don't need so many ball-handling people in my plan."
"Well, since you've decided, go ahead with your plan. Joey, I'll submit it according to the king's list later. ”
Francis and Wang Lei sat in the draft meeting, and they actually had a little disagreement about this year's draft, but Francis finally chose to trust Wang Lei, which made Joey, who was arranged to be the manager of the team? Tolson was very unhappy.
Joey? Tolson was previously the manager of the Indiana Pacers and is now poached by Francis, but now Joey is starting to regret his choice, he finds that he has little place on the team, and the player trade and draft draft are the final say of the Eastern head coach.
The players who sat in the "little green room" in the draft were all high-headed, and these young people who came out of the North American college league were very proud, they felt that they were the pride of the sky, but they didn't know that their future might not be very bright.
The players who did not sit in the small green house or even had the opportunity to participate in the draft are looking forward to the start of the draft one by one, but they don't care about what they don't have in their hearts, what they care about is whether they will be selected, as for the order, that is only the people in the small green house can consider.
At this time, in a slum apartment on the outskirts of Oakland on the west coast of North America, Erwin, who is two meters and eight meters tall? Butler and his two younger brothers were huddled together on a small second-hand couch and watched the young man in a suit and leather shoes walk into the little green room on the TV.
Erwin was born into a single-parent family, and his mother lived independently with four children.
As a child, Erwin followed his older brother John through the streets of Oakland every day, and their mother was too busy supporting the family to take care of her own children, and perhaps if nothing else, Erwin would have committed crime like many black children around him.
However, until one day, when Erwin's brother John was shot and killed by the gang in front of Erwin, Erwin changed, although his personality is still optimistic, but he no longer mixes the streets, no longer follows the black gangs around him, he devotes all his time to basketball practice, because he knows that his brother is actually very talented in basketball, and he dreams of becoming an NBA star one day.
However, Ervin doesn't seem to have the same basketball talent as his brother, his physical fitness is good, but it's just good, his skills are good, but at best it's just good, every one of his items seems to be mediocre, no dazzling statistics, no wonderful dribbling and dunking, only a solid basic skill at a glance.
Relying on such a "good" ability, Erwin won a scholarship to the University of California, Berkeley.
However, Erwin only reached the round of 64 of the North American Collegiate League with the team, and they were eliminated in the first round of the tournament, but Erwin still gambled and chose to participate in the draft, because he knew that he couldn't afford to wait, his family couldn't afford to wait, and he didn't have any hope at all in this draft, just wanted to find a second-tier team to mix a salary after the draft.
Back in Madison, New York, the draft officially began.
The Washington Wizards, who received the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, submitted their list as soon as possible, and as everyone expected, they chose James? Hart.
The Philadelphia 76ers, who won the top pick, also chose an excellent interior player, and the 76ers, who were the bottom of the league last season, were as unlucky as the Kings, and they were also aiming for James? Hart went, but failed to draw the top pick, so now he can only choose Bob, a tall center with a height of two meters and eight? Ovis.
The Tanhua pick was drawn by the Denver Nuggets, and they chose outside striker Kevin? Aureira, the Nuggets have no shortage of excellent interior lines, what they lack is a qualified point guard and a coaching staff with long brains, but now it seems that their management does not have many brains, and in the case of the team's lack of point guards, they actually chose a high-pick forward swingman, which really makes many people puzzled.
The first three picks were all selected, although there were small accidents, but in general, there was no too out-of-the-ordinary choice, after all, the above three people were sitting in a small green room, and it was indisputable for anyone not to choose.
When it was the Kings' turn to choose, team manager Joey submitted the selection list with a gloomy face.
Then Grat, the current president of the league, pronounced the name after ten seconds of his own confirmation.
"The Sacramento Kings chose Elvin from UC Berkeley? Butler. ”
At this time, the young people in the small green room look at each other, wondering who is Erwin? Butler, however, no one has stood up, and more reporters have begun to look up information to find out about this Elwin? What the hell is Butler?
As for Erwin in front of the TV? Butler himself, he was completely confused, and even he didn't know why the Kings would choose such an ordinary player as him with such a high pick as the fourth pick.
