The first major event of the offseason is naturally the 2011 NBA Draft, which was held at the Prudential Center Arena in Newark, New Jersey on June 24, local time, and was broadcast by ESPN across the United States. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Abby did not go to the scene with ESPN, she still stayed in Portland to accompany Ye Feng to watch the live broadcast of the draft.

In fact, this year's draft has nothing to pay attention to for Ye Feng, after all, UCLA only produced one Honeycutt, and it is believed that he was selected in the second round, although there are not a few stars in the second round in NBA history, but after all, the success rate of the first round is relatively higher, and I have not heard that any team is interested in Honeycut. However, watching the draft is already a habit of Ye Feng, and it is easy for him to see his shadow from the "Little Green House" players.

This year's NCAA championship is the University of Connecticut, and their number one star Kemba Walker is also participating in this year's draft, and the Final Four MOP is expected to be selected with the top 10 picks in the first round. The big winner among the players should be Brigham Young pitcher Jimmy Fredette, who single-handedly won seven awards, including the Wooldon and Naismith Awards, and even though Brigham Young didn't make it to the final four, Fredette was a hot rookie.

The Cavaliers, who lost James, received this year's No. 1 pick, which may be the league's compensation for them. In the draft, the Cavaliers selected first-year point guard Kyrie Irving from Duke University, who averaged 17.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in the NCAA. The very skilled point guard is thought to be a core player in the Cavaliers' rebuild, and it looks like the Cavaliers' management thinks the same way, after all, they need a younger core player after James leaves.

The top show is from the University of Arizona wing Derek Williams, a guy who can be three or four and the best player in the Pacific 10 league this season. Williams averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season, shooting 59.5% from the field.

The Jazz, who lost the two cores of Deron and Boozer, selected Turkish center Ines Kante with the third pick. Kante played for Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce in 2008 but didn't get much playing time. After playing at the 2009 European Under-18 Championships, Kante gave up the offers of Fenerbahce and Olympiacos to attend Stoneridge High School in Simi Valley, California, where he competed in high school basketball in the 2009-10 season.

On April 7, 2010, at the 13th Nike Basketball Summit, Kanter scored 34 points and 13 rebounds despite the International team's 97-101 loss to the United States, breaking the 12-year-old record of 33 points set by Nowitzki in 1998. On April 14, 2010, Kanter decided to play at the University of Kentucky. However, Kanter was disqualified from representing Kentucky by the NCAA because of his sponsorship from Fenerbahce, and after a retrial in 2011, the NCAA Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee permanently disqualified him from competing in the NCAA, and he had no choice but to participate in this year's draft.

Kanter's selection with the third pick seemed to herald the rise of international players in this year's draft, and after him, the Cavaliers selected Tristan Thompson, a pure Canadian from the University of Texas, with the fourth pick; The Raptors selected big man Jonas Valanciunas from Lithuania with the 5th pick; The Wizards selected wing swingman Jane Vesely from the Czech Republic with the sixth pick; The Kings chose center Bismarck Biyombo, who was born in Congo and began his career in Spain, with the seventh pick; The Timberwolves drafted Valanciunas' hometown and Lithuanian interior Donatas Motaiyunas with the 20th pick; The Rockets selected Montenegro-born but Spanish-born big man Nikola Mirotic with the 23rd pick......

Not counting the foreign players selected in the second round, and Tristan Thompson, who has an American basketball background, there are actually 6 international players among the 30 rookies in the first round, accounting for a full fifth, which can be said to be an international player year. And they are not in the low ranks, with four international players in the top 10 below Kanter, and half of them including Thompson, which is probably the highest percentage in NBA history.

Likely due to Miller's ageing, the Trail Blazers used their first-round pick 21st pick to select fourth-year two-way guard Nolan Smith from Duke University as a complement to the team's guard line. Ye Feng is not surprised by the team's selection, Smith has excellent height and reach, as well as enough knowledge of the game and all-round skills, and it is not bad for the Trail Blazers to select him in this position, and now they don't have the energy to wait for the young players to continue to grow, after all, as a young championship team, they are now only thinking about putting a few more championship trophies in the honor showroom.

The high-profile Fredette was finally selected by the Kings with the 10th pick in the first round, originally from the Bucks, but before the draft began, the Kings got the No. 10 pick through a three-way trade with the Bobcats and the Bucks: The Bucks sent Margetty, Salmons and the 10th pick in exchange for Stephen Jackson, Udri, Livingston and the 19th pick; The Bobcats sent Stephen Jackson, Livingston and the 19th pick in exchange for Margetty and the 7th pick; The Kings sent Udri and the 7th pick in exchange for Salmons and the 10th pick.

Ye Feng's younger brother, Honeycutt, a wing player from UCLA, ended up with the 35th pick in the second round, and he also went to Sacramento to join the Kings. Seeing that the junior fell to the second round, Ye Feng was also full of emotion in his heart, thinking that their batch of UCLA players, Westbrook was the fourth pick in 2008, Loew was the fifth pick, and he was the sixth pick, although there were no players with the first three picks, but it was also the best result of UCLA players in recent years. I didn't expect that three years later, only one person participated in the election, and it fell into the second round, compared with the 2008 draft, how can it not make people feel emotional?

Originally, it was the turn of the free agent market after the draft, but just as the head coaches and general managers of the 30 teams were gearing up to upgrade their respective rosters, a sudden change happened......
