Chapter 890 [Creation and Transformation, Three-Point Striker]
The 2012 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square in New York on the 29th. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Jun waited in front of the TV, and today the king will have a deal. Before the draft began, they had already sent second-round picks to the Pistons.
The Pistons had a major purge last season, and there were no non-sales on the team and rookies were needed to rebuild.
A small tidbit appeared at the venue. David Stern came out to deliver a speech, which drew boos from the audience, especially after he congratulated the Kings again on becoming an NBA champion.
New York fans were looking forward to James joining back then, but they went to the Kings, and the Knicks Big Three played poorly, and fans were envious and jealous.
It's no wonder that Stern, with the situation of the Knicks, how could the smart James go? It must have been worse than when I was a knight. New York has nothing attractive except for its good location, and the team management spends money indiscriminately and the lineup is not reasonable.
Let James go to the Knicks to replace Anthony, and the situation will not be much better than Anthony.
Stern didn't feel sorry for the boos at all, but put his right hand in front of his right ear, imitating the player's habit of listening to applause, with a smile on his face, which shows the president's relaxed mentality and thick skin.
Stern pretended to be calm, and his heart was agitated.
He hopes that there will be a super strong team to attract fans, but the Kings are too strong, which will make fans lose their sense of expectation of victory and defeat.
To make matters worse, this summer, he couldn't think of any team that could stand up to the Kings and prevent them from stepping up closer. With the current attraction of the Kings, there must be many veterans who are willing to take a pay cut to join and attack the championship.
The Hornets didn't have the worst record, but they won the top pick, which made people suspect that the league was manipulating.
In April of this year, NFL Saints owner Tom Benson bought the Hornets, which are managed by the NBA, for $358 million, which is not too cheap, and the league wants to give him a little sweetness.
After trading Paul, the star of the Hornets is the bearded James Harden, and the interior is Derrick Favors. Now, the Hornets have selected bushy browed kid Anthony Davis.
Add point guard Devin Harris and Robin Lopez, who was traded from the Suns, and the Hornets have a promising future. Plus, they could pick another first-round pick from the Nets.
Relieved, Davis got up and put on his Hornets cap and embraced his family, relatives and friends, as well as his mentor, Kentucky coach John Calyparry. Then he took the stage to shake Stern's hand.
In interviews, Davis appeared humble and domineering. When it comes to the Hornets, he said he will follow the advice of his coach and strive to become an All-Star player in the future. He didn't say that he wanted to be the leader of the team, and the Hornets are now two cores who are also high picks, and the seizure of power cannot be expressed verbally.
However, the eyebrows that looked like a McDonald's logo betrayed his ambitions.
The Wizards have selected Michael Kidd Gilchrist.
This is a strong, athletic small forward with Iguodala and Gerard Wallace.
The worst record in the history of the Bobcats was only a draw, and it was a bit unlucky that they chose Dion Vitesse. The template is a bit miserable, it's Dominic Jones and DeSean Stevenson.
Although he is physically fit, he is not a point guard at 193cm, so no one is sure how he will perform against the 198cm-tall, physical guards that can be found everywhere in the NBA.
Jordan doesn't believe in evil, thinking he can be the next Wade.
The Cavaliers selected Bradley Beal with the fourth pick, also a 193cm shooting guard and attacker. The template is Eric Gordon.
The Cavaliers boss knows that James is coming back, and has begun to quietly build a lineup, this is a talented shooter who is suitable to partner with James. They won't pick small forwards, just let Garcia hold on.
The Raptors drafted Thomas Robinson for fifth, a short interior player with excellent athleticism.
The Trail Blazers picked point guard Damion Lillard for the sixth place, and the outside line is the battle.
The seventh pick belongs to the Clippers, who made the playoffs, and the pick was traded from the Timberwolves.
The 2005 Yaric trade, when the Timberwolves and the Clippers traded for Yaric, sending Kassel and a first-round pick to the Clippers. The pick was protected year after year, and finally became an unprotected draft pick in 2012.
Yaric was a high-paid and low-energy back then, and now he has long left the NBA, and the Timberwolves manager is really a god for him to come back at such a big price.
The Clippers chose the super physical swingman Terrence Rose, plus Snowward and Crawford, and the current Clippers swingman position is not weak.
The Pistons selected interior Andre Drummond for the 8th pick.
When he finished reading the first five, the camera showed Drummond, and he was about to cry when he looked at it.
How many people can have a 229cm reach and be as fast as a defender? Drummond was considered promising and incredibly talented, but he fell all the way to eighth. The reason why he is not favored is that he can't shoot and can't shoot free throws. At best, it's Howard, and at worst, it's Jordan Jr.
The Warriors selected Harrison Barnes for the ninth place.
No. 10 was the Trail Blazers' pick that opted for the Celtics coach's son, Austin Rivers.
The rookies were selected one by one, and the worst was inside Jarred Sullinger.
If he runs in 2011, he has a good chance of finishing in the top 5. However, he chose to stay at Ohio State for an extra year, but suffered a back injury and dropped to No. 21 in this year's draft, where he was drafted by the Boston Celtics.
The Kings selected point guard Marquis Teague for the 29th pick.
Soon they made a trade to send Teague to the Rockets in exchange for power forward Patrick Patterson. The Rockets' move is mainly to save money and at the same time to find a spare tire for Dragic, who may leave in the summer.
Dragic averaged 11.7 points and 5.3 assists per game, and wanted an annual salary of tens of millions, but Morey felt that it was not worth it and was unwilling to renew his contract. Just want to find a replacement for Starkey.
Patterson, the 14th pick in the first round in 2010, is 206cm tall, weighs 106kg, is strong, and has a range from beyond the three-point line.
The Rockets picked Marcus Morris with a similar style last season and Terrence Jones this season, and the three are definitely going to have one. Patterson has been training for two years, and his ability is average, and Morey doesn't want to wait any longer.
Wang Jun is very satisfied with the management's approach, at least more than Tejibson can open up space.
In these years, the big forward who can open up space, as long as the defense is not a loophole, is aiming for an annual salary of 10 million. Patterson, who didn't come out of his rookie season, was too cheap in comparison, and the next two years were still a team option. If he doesn't play well, he can be cut directly next season.
In the second round, a group of rookies Wang Jun didn't know each other, so they changed the channel directly.
Wang Jun said with a smile: "With the current king's lineup, the inside line is not weak, and with Carter, it should be easy to defend the title next season." ”
Abby asked, "There's no one in the center yet, right?" I think I'm looking for an experienced veteran, did you call Chris (Karman)? ”
"Not yet, he's probably watching the draft right now."
"I think you better ask him to make it clear, lest he be embarrassed to speak, he will have a complete lineup when he comes, and you can be more relaxed next season."
"How could that guy be embarrassed to speak? He's a talker. ”
Wang Jun suddenly thought that if Kaman didn't take the initiative to call, he probably didn't want to hug his thighs.
