Chapter 10: Young Timberwolves
In the general manager's office, Sanders took out the team's information one by one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"These are the rosters of all the players on the team, as well as some of the players in this year's draft, and I hope you can take them back and study them. Give me a technical analysis of each player in two weeks, as well as your understanding and advice on the team's tactical system. This is your second interview, scouting is not that good, I need to see how well you understand professional basketball, if you don't pass then you have to go to scouting school for a while longer. ā
"Okay, Mr. Sanders, I don't think I'm going to let you down." Mu Le took the two materials and flipped through them casually. The player's profile is relatively simple, except for the physical condition, mainly the data of the last two seasons.
The team's number one star is guard Isiah Ryder, who is only a sophomore but has already won the title of slam dunk king at last season's All-Star Game. He was drafted by the Timberwolves with the fifth pick in the first round of the 1993 NBA Draft and was named to the All-Rookie First Team in his first season averaging 16.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. By the 94-95 season, his scoring had risen to 20.4 points, and his explosive physicality and sharp scoring methods made him a rising star in the league.
The team's interior pillar is Kristen Leitner, who entered the league a year before Isiah. The 2.11m big man averaged 16.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game last season, making him the team's second-leading scorer. Prior to entering the league, Christine led the Duke Blues to back-to-back NCAA championships in 1991 and 1992 while in college, and was the only collegiate member of the 1992 U.S. Basketball "Dream Team" at the 1992 Olympics. After entering the 1992 draft, he was drafted by the Timberwolves with the third overall pick and was also on the All-Rookie First Team in his rookie season.
Christine has a very soft hand, with a good shooting percentage from the field and free throws, which is also his main means of scoring, and he also has a good passing hand, which can deliver 4.4 assists in a season at its peak, which is very good for a big man inside.
Tom Gugliotta, who joined the team in the second half of last season, took over the position of the team's third scorer. Tom, who entered the league in 1992, was selected by the Washington Bullets with the sixth pick, and was selected to the All-Rookie First Team of the year at the same time as Christine, and was traded to the Golden State Warriors by the Bullets at the beginning of last season, and after the All-Star break, he was traded to the Timberwolves. In 31 games with the Timberwolves, he averaged 14.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, while also making 2.0 steals per game.
Tom showed the potential of a superstar during his college years, and his stats increased year by year, and he even averaged 22+10 per game in his fourth year of college, and the announcers even compared him to Larry Bird. Tom showed his all-around side last season, not only helping his teammates score, but also being the team's defensive backbone, and at 2.08m, he grabbed rebounds no worse than those big centers.
Mulle flips back further, Sean Lukes, Don Yell Marshall, Doug West...... After browsing it roughly, he had a plan in his heart. The team's poor record is not because there are no good players, but because the team is too young and the players are too young. Several starters on the team, most of whom were rookies in '92 and '93, had only two or three seasons of training, although they seemed to have good statistics, but it was not so easy to win against other strong teams in the league.
