Chapter 249 [Accidental Taobao!] Big catch for the bobcats! 】

The draft session continues.

No. 5, the New York Knicks selected Kevin Love.

It's no surprise that the Knicks chose anyone, because they are short of people at all positions, even coaches. The Knicks boss couldn't stand "Smiling Assassin" Thomas anymore. If he continued like this, he felt like he was about to be provoked to death by the Assassins.

No. 6, the Milwaukee Bucks picked Joe Alexander.

"Chuck, how do you feel about this man?" Jordan looked at Alexander on stage and asked with a smile.

"It sucks. It was a mistake to be selected in the first round. Even if he goes to the Bobcat for the second time, he will only be cut off. The Bucks simply wasted draft picks. Hayes laughed.

Alexander is the most overrated rookie in this class. In Hayes' previous life, Alexander was drafted by the Bucks at No. 8, and after two seasons he became unplayable, tossing and turning between the Bucks, Bulls, and Hornets. In the end, he was cut by the Hornets and said goodbye to the NBA. It was a surprise that the Bucks valued Alexander so much.

Holding the 7th draft is the worst championship team in history, the Houston Rockets, Oden is back, the Rockets have an interior to rely on, and the point guard is only Steve Blake, who lacks offensive power. Fat Morey drafted Jerry Bayless, a two-way guard who excels at offense.

Morey was delighted and felt that the selection of Bayless, who was predicted to be in fourth place, was a big bargain. When Bayless arrives with Maddy's Rockets, how many shots he can get, and whether he can become another Arenas is only God knows.

"Bayless actually fell to No. 7, and there are a lot of underdogs in this year's draft." Jordan still likes to change Bayless.

"yes." Hayes laughed. What surprised him was how no team had selected Westbrook so far. If Westbrook drops to 14th, the Bobcats will consider this man. Although he likes to throw profligately, he is also a player with good ability, and the template is Monta Ellis. This season, Ellis averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the Warriors, shooting 53% from the field, but the Warriors had a terrible record, and Ellis was known as a cancer on the defensive end, so Westbrook was also underestimated.

The Wizards selected Eric Gordon for the 8th spot. Gordon is a 190cm tall shooting guard who is good at stealing points and is characterized by only the basket in his eyes. Compared with him, the Bucks' "Mo Bu Biography" is simply Kidd...... In 9th place, the Bulls chose Westbrook. The Bulls want a two-way guard, and without Rose, Westbrook is like a replacement.

No. 10 Nets chose Gallinari. The Italians were selected in this pick exactly as predicted. The 11th Pacers picked Brandon Rush. The 12th king chose Jason Thompson. The Grizzlies, who were the 13th to lack a point guard, selected DJ Augustin.

The 14th place is finally the turn of the Trail Blazers.

The pick was to be traded to the Bobcats, and at the behest of Higgins, the Trail Blazers selected Roy Hibbert. Although Hibbert's prediction is relatively low, outside the lotto zone, it is a rare big man inside. The Trailblazers also took a fancy to Hibbert, and they were a little reluctant.

15 76ers selected Anthony Randolph. 16 Raptors selected Robin Lopez. Seventeen Celtics have selected Maris Speights. The 18-place Pistons selected Javier McGee. 19 Cavaliers selected J.J. Sixson. Hayes has been keeping an eye on that, while the rookie has changed, the pick hasn't changed much.

The 20th is a draft pick that the Bobcats traded from the Suns. With a trade plan already in place with the Trail Blazers, the Bobcats no longer consider French teenager Batum; Kutney-Lee's style is similar to Azubuuk's, and there is no need to trade him. So the Bobcats opted for underrated guard George Hill.

Previously, Bobcats manager Higgins proposed a three-year, 15 million contract extension for Calderon, but Calderon was not satisfied with the offer and was ready to test the free market as a restricted free agent with Bidrins. Calderon had a good season last season and there will definitely be teams to dig into the wall, and it will not be easy to keep Calderon, so the Bobcats chose George Hill as a "spare tire".

To give a more vivid example, in Hayes's previous life, in 2009, the Portland Trail Blazers offered the Utah Jazz's restricted free agent Millsap a four-year, 32 million contract after the failure to pursue Turkoglou, and then the Jazz chose to follow up on the offer, and Millsap stayed with the Jazz. It was because the Jazz did not negotiate a contract extension with Millsap at the beginning, which gave the Trail Blazers a chance, and it was not until they found out that they were going to be poached that the Jazz owner raised the price.

Millsap chose to jump out of his contract just to see what his market value was. In this way, you can increase your price code, and secondly, you can continue to stay on the basis of tending to stay in the team. Most players who don't want to leave and want to raise their salaries do this, so that they can find their own value and prepare for whether to leave or stay in the future.

If another team offers Calderon a big contract, the Bobcats have the option to follow up, otherwise Calderon could be transferred.

The 21 Nuggets selected high school forward Akinsa. The Mavericks traded 22 draft picks to the Nets in order to get Kidd, and the Nets drafted power forward Ryan Anderson, who can shoot three-point shots. 23-bit Magic picks Courtney Lee. The 24 Jazz selected center Costa Koufus. In order to get Gasol, the Lakers traded 25 draft picks to the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies selected French teenager Batum. 26 Spurs have selected Congolese player Serge Ibaka. The 27 Hornets picked Darrell Arthur. At No. 28, the Timberwolves picked Dont Green.

29th place, it was the turn of the Bobcat to choose.

Donte Green was drafted, disrupting the Bobcats' original plans. Hayes remembered that Green would play well in the summer league and wanted to be selected to play like Brooks last season and trade out, but unfortunately the Timberwolves took the lead. Now that the Bobcat is in an awkward situation, there are no good rookies left to choose from. If there is one best pick, it is DeAndre Jordan, who fell from the lottery to the 29th pick!

If DeAndre Jordan had been chosen, Hayes' bet with Michael Jordan would have been lost...... Michael Jordan didn't expect DeAndre Jordan to fall to this pick and no one wanted it, it was like someone had forgotten. At the 20th place, Jordan proposed to select DeAndrew, giving up George Hill, who probably had no place in the Bobcats. Hayes insisted that DeAndrew's pick would be dropped.

Now Michael Jordan, D'Antoni and Higgins are looking at Hayes together as if to ask, "What are we waiting for?" ”

Hayes sighed, the bet hadn't been thought through. "Michael, you won the bet, 29th pick DeAndrew, this is the best deal."

Jordan laughed. I feel like I've picked up a baby!

At this time, DeAndre Jordan, who was once considered "Little Howard" and "Little Bynum", was sitting in his seat anxiously, pressing his thighs with both hands, and grabbing both trouser legs with sweat...... With two picks left, he's about to fall out of the first round. The Bobcats have drafted two interior players before and are unlikely to pick him; The 30 Eagles have Yao Ming, and it seems impossible to want him, and if he goes to the Eagles, he can only be a substitute, and he has no future.

Am I going to fall to the second round? Am I going to set a record for the longest time in NBA history to sit in a small green room? Seeing the other interior players being selected one by one, DeAndrew's heart was dripping blood. He didn't understand why he had met with such bad luck.

The previous record holder belonged to Rashad Lewis, who waited until No. 32 in 1998 to be selected. DeAndrew's really didn't want to break the damn record.

At this time, Stern announced: "The Bobcats selected DeAndre Jordan with the 29th pick. ”

DeAndre stood up like an electric shock. Lynx? It's actually a bobcat? Even if he is a substitute, he hopes to be on the Bobcats, and it is happier to be able to play next to the league MVP.

However, it was not easy for DeAndre to stay, and the Bobcat's interior line suddenly became bloated. Fortunately, the league has a scarcity of interior players, and it is easy to find a team to trade, otherwise it would be a real problem to deal with so many people. The Bobcats' center has reached 5 people. And that's not counting Bagnani and Hayes, who can play center.

With the 30th pick in the first round, the Hawks selected point guard Mario Money.

Then began the second round of the draft that went unnoticed. The Bobcats' second-round pick is No. 59, and no one wants to trade it, so they can only stay in their hands in the end. Hayes didn't have much hope for the pick, and the people who were a little useful were drafted. For example, Bamot, Roberts, Dragic...... There's only one name that Hayes cares about – Anthony Morrow! Until the second round of 57, he was not selected. He remembered that there was a bull on the Warriors team who was called this one.

But Hayes wasn't sure, he remembered that Morrow was strong, suitable for the fast break, and shot very accurately. Why hasn't you been selected for the second round yet? He was a little skeptical, maybe this wasn't the Warriors guy, just a duplicate name?

In fact, Anthony Morrow, like Hayes, is an undrafted rookie. He signed with the Golden State Warriors as a free agent on July 25, 2008.

In the 2008-2009 season, Anthony Morrow appeared in 67 appearances (17 starts) for the Warriors, averaging 10.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Averaged 22.6 minutes per game. He scored 16.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in 17 games and played 34.9 minutes. The most terrifying thing is that Morrow shot 46.7% from three-point range (86-of-184) in a single season, becoming the first rookie to lead the league in this statistic, and this is the first time in the history of the Warriors that a player has achieved this feat.

In the 2009-2010 season, Anthony Morrow appeared in 69 games (35 starts) and improved in all stats, averaging 13.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 29.2 minutes per game. In 35 games he started averaging 14.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.17 steals per game. Ranked 5th in the NBA for three-point shooting with 45.6% three-point shooting percentage.

It's no exaggeration to say that Morrow is the most underrated super pitcher in this draft! As a draft jewel that no one wants, Moreau does have the situation of being conceived. His potential is limited, and it is difficult to go far with his physical confrontation and lack of experience. But as the next "nerve knife" player, Morrow still has a great future. Especially in the Bobcats, who lack shooters, he has a lot to do!

By the time of the 59th pick in the second round, the Bobcats chose Anthony Morrow with the mentality of "try it out", and if it didn't work, it was a big deal not to sign. None of the Bobcats now know about the treasures they picked up in the second round.
