Chapter 41: Scouting Report

It's been almost a week since Villanova University reached the finals, and this season's NCAA championship has been decided. The University of Arizona defeated the University of Kentucky, the top seed in the Western Conference, 84-79 in the finals, and the MOP (Most Outstanding Player) in the Final Four went to Miles Simon of the University of Arizona.

But that doesn't have anything to do with the Villanova University Wildcats, who are either busy going on vacation or running into the 1997 NBA Draft. This year, Villanova has a total of three players running, namely Thomas, Erwin and Lee, of which Thomas is predicted to be selected in the top five picks, and Irvine is in the middle to the end of the first round.

Chang Wei occasionally brushes authoritative draft websites, and he is still very satisfied with the prediction orders of these three players. This is not much different from the final result of the 1997 draft that he remembers in his previous life, but Lee was able to enter the early part of the second round did surprise him, after all, there was absolutely no such guy among the rookies in the class of 1997 in his previous life.

Chang Wei was very pleased with Lee's performance, especially after the long-term task about Lee was completed. Under Chang Wei's tutelage, Lee averaged 13.1 minutes per game this season, contributing 10.5 points and 5.1 assists, contributing considerable experience and prestige to Chang Wei. What made Chang Wei even more excited was that with the 10 experience points of this task, the system had just been upgraded to level three, and he had unlocked a "player recommendation" function.

The panel for player recommendations is fairly concise, with an empty list of players and a whole host of conditions on the right, including age, position, stats, and more. From the introduction of the system, Chang Wei also knew that the retrieved players came with a status bar of personal tendencies, that is, which team he was more inclined to join, and how strong his willingness to join Villanova was, which undoubtedly made Chang Wei more powerful in the next player recruitment.

The opportunity was not long in coming. The players have holidays, the coaching staff doesn't, and after a few days of rest, they start preparing for the new season. Rappers looked at the mountain of scouting reports on the table, how could he read so many players alone? Let's call the others over for a meeting!

In the spacious conference room, everyone on the coaching staff was sitting in a precarious position, and as a junior character, Chang Wei naturally sat in the corner. Chang Wei has always been indifferent to his position, he believes in making a lot of money in silence, it doesn't matter where he sits, what matters is what he will say in the discussion.

Rappers sent each of them a stack of materials that he had initially screened for high school players. "Our scouts are doing a great job, they've provided a lot of well-known high school players, and I'm a big believer in their vision," he coughed lightly. But we can't give everyone a scholarship, we have to make a trade-off, and the information in front of you is what I've preliminarily screened, and I want to hear your opinion on the list of players for the new season. ”

Chang Wei casually looked at it, how to say that there are twenty or thirty pieces of paper in front of him, if a piece of paper has a player's information on it, then there are also twenty or thirty people. He found that the system he had given high hopes for before should not actually be very useful, but he didn't need to study it as carefully as everyone else, as a time-traveler, he just had to pick out the famous stars in the future.

However, in Chang Wei's view, college scouting is indeed a very easy job, they only need to observe the up-and-coming high school stars from all over the country, and then hand over the report to the boss.

casually flipping through the scouting reports in front of him, Chang Wei saw many names that were familiar in his previous life. Especially the top one, the bald head in the photo makes him feel more intimate, isn't that the Lakers' all-round inside Odom in the previous life? It seems that this guy is still the No. 1 high school student in the United States in the class of 1997, and it takes money to recruit him.

But after browsing the player profile, Chang Wei lost interest in Odom, this guy's grades in his junior year of high school were very poor, he failed two subjects, and he couldn't play all year in his senior year. Odom transferred schools twice, and only settled down at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Connecticut. And Odom has caused a lot of trouble off the field, Chang Wei doesn't want him to come to Villanova to spoil the atmosphere of the whole team, even if his strength is indeed very strong.

Suddenly, Chang Wei's eyes lit up, another familiar name, and in his previous life, he was much bigger than Odom! Tracy McGrady, two-time NBA scoring champion with 35.13 seconds, made the pull-up jumper an art...... There are too many adjectives in this man, and if Villanova can recruit him, the new season will have a backbone.

But there is one point, whether it is Chang Wei's memories of his past life or the player information in front of him, it is emphasized that this talented small forward hopes to participate in the NBA draft as a high school student this year, and if he wants to convince him to join the NCAA, he must hurry. Although it sounds difficult, Chang Wei thinks it's worth a try, Maddie's talent is historic, at least in this stack of materials, he doesn't see any star more worthy of investment than Maddie.

Of course, you can't put your eggs in the same basket, and you have to prepare for Plan B or even Plan C and Plan D. After picking out Maddie's information and putting it aside, Chang Wei began to continue to look through the information of other players. Ralph Alston, Ricky Davis, Ron Artest, Byron Davis...... Chang Wei shook his head again and again, although these people were household names in their previous lives, they were all thorns, and they didn't know what to do when they were recruited.

Fortunately, Chang Wei was lucky, he found another player worth recruiting, and interestingly, he was also teammates with Maddie in the Rockets. That's right, that's the captain of Duke University in his previous life, the all-round warrior Battier, you must know that Battier in college is not a later 3D player, whether it is offensive or defensive, there are two brushes.

Later, Chang Wei saw several well-rated stars, including 1999 champion Elton Brand and James' good helper Larry Hughes, and for him to have so many people is enough. However, it is not enough to have good gentlemen in the team, so Chang Wei still picked out the information of those bad boys, and easily marked the key symbols on the information of Artest and Byron Davis, and he would rather recruit these two guys than several other people.

After almost two hours, the rest of the coaching staff had also picked out the players they approved of and waited for Rappers to make a final decision.
