Chapter 531: 2009 Draft
For the Celtics to win the championship, Boston fans naturally celebrated wildly. But this celebration has nothing to do with Chen Jiyuan. What Chen Jiyuan has to do is to make the celebration of the coming year related to himself. And in order to do this, both Chen Jiyuan and the team's management need to make a lot of efforts.
With the official start of the 2009 NBA Draft. It's about the future of all the teams, and once again, here, you may have chosen a glass man, obviously very talented, but he has been through injuries and finally lost to everyone. You can also pick up a big bargain and the team will soar from then on. You can also change the team's fortune in an instant with a top pick. The best example of this is James. James' arrival can be said to have changed Cleveland. Make this small city more marketable.
So, the draft is a very exciting and exciting time to look forward to. Although Chen Jiyuan already knows who each team will choose, the excitement and expectations are reduced exponentially. However, this did not affect Chen Jiyuan to come here to watch the game with excitement.
In fact, if you want to change a team, Chen Jiyuan is also a living example. Chen Jiyuan helped Stern better prepare for the draft on a certain kind of Cheng dù.
In previous years, when the draft was held, Stern would be frantically "booed" by the fans in New York.
This season was different, as the Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, albeit without a championship. But it's also quite a proud achievement. Not every team will make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. So the boos that Stern faced this time were obviously smaller.
Stern said again those things that he had to say every year, Chen Jiyuan didn't know how many times he had heard it in his previous life and in this life. My ears are calloused. I don't want to listen to Stern inkblot this useless nonsense at all.
Now Chen Jiyuan's biggest concern is why there is no news about the top five picks that Latin said he would do. Although Britney told herself that Latin would do her best, if she really didn't, then be prepared for it.
Until the draft has already begun.
Blake Griffin still got his wish to become the top pick, which no matter who holds the top pick, it should not be a hundred years, after all, Griffin's physical quality and talent are very outstanding among the players this year.
The second and third picks have not changed at all, and the Grizzlies and Thunder still chose Tabit and Harden. The fourth-in-line king chose Terrick Evans. The Kings have long shown their affection for this talented player. The fifth-pick Timberwolves still chose the golden boy Rubio. Chen Jiyuan actually likes Rubio, but Rubio's offense has no way to gain a foothold in the NBA. That's why Rubio has no way of becoming a star at all. The offense was really poor, although the passing awareness and assists were very good. However, Rubio's weak offensive ability and inefficiency on the offensive end made him a hindrance player for the team. You can't choose to save zài.
When the Thunder chose Harden, Chen Jiyuan's heart trembled, it seems that the Thunder in his previous life didn't seem to have received his butterfly effect and changed. The Thunder relied on the draft that made people feel speechless and helpless, and in a few years, they relied on the accumulation of drafts year after year, not by trading players from other teams. unexpectedly let the Thunder accumulate the Thunder Three Lesser that made the whole league tremble. Although the three young thunderers are gradually weakened because of the small market of thunder. Gradually, it declined. But the Thunder's team building plan is very good. It's just that it can't be copied, unless it's a person like Chen Jiyuan who has traveled back, it can be regarded as a copy of Thunder's reconstruction plan. The Knicks also relied on the accumulation of draft picks. Little by little, I came to the current strength.
A while after the draft began, Latin came to Chen Jiyuan and Britney's side. Chen Jiyuan couldn't wait to ask, "How about the draft picks?" ”
Latin nodded very calmly, "No problem." A deal was made with the Timberwolves. We paid Landry plus Marty Collins and Chris Dujon for their sixth pick. ”
This year's Timberwolves still have a lot of draft picks, especially a fifth pick and a sixth pick. These two picks, the people who can be selected, there are no characters that the Timberwolves can't give up. On the contrary, Landry and Collins are both fierce players on the inside, and the addition of these two will greatly alleviate the urgency of the Timberwolves' interior line. Although Chris Dujon can't play in the Knicks, he should still have a good performance when he arrives at the Timberwolves, after all, Duhon's performance in the first two years was quite good. Although the Timberwolves are also a little reluctant. However, after all the efforts of Latin, the idea of trading the Timberwolves was finally confirmed.
As for who should be chosen for this pick, there is no need for Chen Jiyuan to say, Latin also knows that Chen Jiyuan likes that player. The Knicks chose Stephen Curry with no use for the sixth pick.
When the Knicks selected Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors had to choose Jonny Flynn. This is also normal, because Stephen Curry and Jonny Flynn have been competing since college, and Jonny Flynn has always been rated better than Stephen Curry. Although in Chen Jiyuan's opinion, it is complete nonsense. Because Jonny Flynn only played a good ball for one year, and then gradually went out of the ball. And Stephen Curry is different, Stephen Curry is getting more and more fierce, and later became a famous pervert in the league. This qiē Chen era is very clear. So no matter what, Stephen Curry is a must-have person for Chen Jiyuan, even if he doesn't play now, when Stephen Curry doesn't play so well in the Warriors, and when Stephen Curry wants to renew his contract, the Knicks will definitely intervene. And now it's nice to be able to choose it directly.
The order has not changed much since then. It should have been the eighth pick of the New York Knicks, but of course it couldn't have been the Knicks. It's from the Raptors. And the Toronto Raptors did not choose Jordan Hill, who was the eighth pick, but still chose DeRozan. It's also conceivable that the Raptors don't lack interior line, and this year is another year of talent blowout on the outside, so why waste such a high draft pick to choose a Jordan Hill whose development potential is actually just that.
Jordan Hill wasn't drafted by the Charlotte Bobcats until the eleventh pick. After that, it was back to normal.
The Indiana Pacers selected Tyler Hansbrough with the 12th overall pick and Earl Clarke with the 13th pick from the Phoenix Suns. Although Gerard Henderson is also a good player, the team did not dare to choose lightly without a trial. So it's better to choose the player you want to choose safely.
The Detroit Pistons, who were the 14th pick, selected Austin Tatsuya. The Chicago Bulls selected James Johnson with the 15th pick.
The Philadelphia 76ers selected Ju Holiday with the 16th pick. They need a talented vacancy to take control of the team. The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Ty Lawson with the 17th pick. Lawson is a bit short in height, but he is very fast, and he is definitely a very good player. The pen-like Timberwolves gave Lawson to the Nuggets for almost nothing. It's fair to say that the Timberwolves are definitely the ones who do the most good in this league. They will send Roy away, either in exchange for a Foye, or in order to get Marbury, they actually sent a first-round pick in their hand, and then this first-round pick exploded with great luck, allowing the Knicks to select Love. The Timberwolves have made countless comic trades, and Chen Jiyuan has always felt that the Timberwolves are definitely a well-known welfare team in the league. A kind-hearted team will definitely be rewarded.
The eighteenth pick was another draft pick from the Bobcats, who chose Gerrard Henderson this time, but the Bobcats didn't expect Henderson to fall to that position.
The 19th pick in the Eagles selected Jeff Teague.
The Utah Jazz selected Eric Mayno with the 20th overall pick.
The New Orleans Hornets, the 21st pick, selected Darren Collisson. This time, the Hornets finally found a qualified substitute for Paul.
The Portland Trail Blazers, the 22nd pick, chose Victor Clavier.
The Sacramento Kings, the 23rd pick, chose Omi Cosby.
With the 24th pick, the Dallas Mavericks selected Byron Mulens.
The 15th overall pick of the Oklamaho Thunder chose Rodrigo Boobie. And to the 26th pick, the Knicks' draft pick. This place has also been studied by Chen Jiyuan. But the best guy is still Ty Gibson. Although Demaré Kamal is also a good player. However, how much Kamal can play now, Chen Jiyuan is not sure. Although Kamal can make up for the Knicks on a certain way, but to be on the safe side, let's come to Gibson. Gibson is also a player full of spirit. And Gibson is very good as a power forward, and he also won the award of best sixth man in later generations. Or Gibson is better. So in the end, the Knicks chose Gibson.
With the 27th pick, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Kamal.
Wayne Ellington, the 28th pick, was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Los Angeles Lakers selected Tony Douglass with the 29th pick.
In the final 30th pick, the Cavaliers chose Christian Suiyenga. For this person, Chen Jiyuan's biggest impression is that this name is not to be spoken.
