After McCollum was drafted this year, the season has passed for two months, with only eight appearances and an average of eight minutes per game to score 3 points, so it's no wonder that D'Antoni and his brother are questioning, after all, the stats and on-court performance are too poor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

McCollum, who was born in '91, is 22 years old and has little potential to tap into, unlike Antetokounmpo's young and talented, nor like Whiteside who impresses people with brilliant tryouts, and even Green's nonchalant style of play is unique in D'Antoni's tactical system.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Ren recommended McCollum.

He despised Dan D'Antoni for this, no wonder your brother is the head coach, but you can only rely on your brother's status to become an assistant coach.

Someone else who can see talent in both video and data will give it to you? Just your chips? He wants Thompson, and if he doesn't give Jimmy Butler, you can get an assistant coach and try it back?

McCollum belongs to the type of accumulation and development, after four years of college, the style of play is basically determined, and the talent has been realized, that is, a player with strong combat power, but the Trail Blazers have Matthews, an All-Star shooting guard, and Will Barton, a talented backup point guard, both have proven themselves, how can he, an older rookie head coach who is a young draft pick look up to him? It wasn't until the second half of next season when Barton left the Trail Blazers to show his talent for the Nuggets, and Matthews reimbursed the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon, that he was put on the starting list when the head coach was unused, played a few beautiful games, and only then did he sit in the starting position in the 15-16 season, and his average points per game skyrocketed from 6 to 20 points, winning the most improved player and entering the ranks of first-line scoring guards.

Although he has infinite contempt for Dan D'Antoni in his heart, he is the head coach's brother, Liu Ren did not say what was in his heart, but made up an incident: "I met CJ on the street court in the summer, and his skills are really good, he is the kind of player who only appeared in the 90s and honed his skills in college, but the Trail Blazers scoring guard position is too manpowered, so he has no chance to perform, and he is not tall enough to play small forward, so it doesn't look good." Mickey, I promise you, he's going to amaze you! ”

Kupchak is now obsessed with Liu Ren's vision, and the three players Liu Ren selected are all too good, one is talented, one is instantaneous, and one is a tactical genius.

Two months after the season, the Warriors saw Green's comprehensive data of 5 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals per game, and then they knew that they had suffered a big loss, and they could only suffer a dumb loss. Antetokounmpo's talent is obvious, and needless to say Whiteside, the best candidate for the block king, ranks third in the league in rebounds per game as a bench.

Coupled with the outstanding performances of Nick Young, Henry, Famar and others signed this summer, the Lakers' record is also unexpectedly good, and all the media and fans are full of praise for Kupchak's operation in the summer, and the best manager candidate basically can't run.

Therefore, Kupchak attaches great importance to Liu Ren's suggestion, Liu Ren usually does not have a single suggestion except for those three players, this time he made such a solemn guarantee, Kupchak has reason to believe that Liu Ren is by no means untargeted, and he must be very sure that McCollum has the strength that he can guarantee!

Kupchak decided to take a gamble, even if he lost his eyes? I don't have a lot of chips, and I don't have much to lose when I look away, this injury exception is an unexpected surprise, if it's really like Liu Ren said, this is the kind of older rookie who has honed his skills and entered the league in the last century, then he will make a lot of money.

Since the NBA shutdown in the late 90s and salaries skyrocketed, basically no college players waited until college to graduate from college to join the NBA, and they all played for two years at most, and most of them joined the NBA directly after playing for a year or even without playing in the NCAA.

So now the draft is all about gambling, not like in the 80s and early 90s, we all know which people will be superstars in the future, like Iverson, Duncan, rookies who are sure to enter the league as superstars can change the team are now gone, even if the current champion does not look away and chooses the best talent, it will take several years to cultivate, and it is impossible to choose a champion like the last century to turn over.

Like the Cavaliers, who have selected two champions in three years, and are now the deputy squad leader in the East, the 76ers are even worse than it.

The most sad thing for college coaches is not that players leave college early to go to the NBA, but that many students who choose to finish college and go to the NBA can't look down on the NBA, scouts feel that youth is talent, and scouts who hone their skills in college can't look down on them, which leads to more talented students wanting to go to the NBA as soon as possible to avoid a decline in the draft market, and then form a vicious circle.

In order to ensure the quality of college players and the NCAA, the most important place to produce players, the league stipulated in the '06 collective bargaining agreement that U.S. 1 and non-U.S. international players must be at least 19 years old within the year of participation. The oldest player to enter the NBA Draft is 23. 2. High school students are prohibited from participating in the draft, and domestic players in the United States must graduate from high school more than one year before they can participate in the draft.

To sum up, there are five ways to join the NBA, one is that high school students in the United States have played in college for at least one year after graduating from high school and are selected for the draft, the second is to play in other professional leagues for at least one year to participate in the draft and be selected, the third is to be 22 years old and less than 23 years old to automatically participate in the draft and be selected by the team to be willing to come to the NBA, the fourth is to be at least 19 years old and under the age of 23 players who take the initiative to participate in the NBA and fail to enter the NBA as a draft pick, and the fifth is to be at least 23 years old and over the draft age and can freely join any team. If there is a team that wants you.

This regulation has relatively eased the bad draft from 99 to 06 years after the suspension in 98, if it weren't for the 03 years, the results of the draft in these years can be described as a disaster, the lotto shows before the suspension in 98 are the treasures of each team, in recent years, except for 03 years, most of the lotto shows are parallel imports, what talented high school students, Canada's Nowitzki, Italy's Duncan, and finally proved to be parallel goods.

After banning high school students from participating in the election, it has been much more reliable since the 07 draft, at least the champion in 07 is injured, and the other champions have been played...... This year's champion is an exception.

In recent years, the lotto area has also been full of talent, gradually taking over the banner of the league and becoming a first-line star, unlike the years at the beginning of the century, when he chose a lottery show and came back to raise it for four years. At that time, the four-year contract of the lottery show was fully guaranteed, and it was not until the 11-12 season that the new rules were added after the shutdown, starting from the 12 draft, the first-round pick only had a two-year guaranteed contract, and the team option for the next two years ensured that the team could reduce some losses by choosing the wrong person.

Kupchak pondered for a while, then decided: "It's McCollum, I'll contact the Trail Blazers, Mike, Kobe, you come to my office, and the others will break up and prepare for tomorrow's game." ”

Seeing that Kupchak actually agreed with the idea of a player, instead of he, the head assistant coach, to find a way to trade Bradley or Courtney Lee, Dan D'Antoni felt very shameless, and stared at Liu Ren viciously and got up to leave.
