After Cousins was drafted, the Suns moved with the sixth pick.

The Suns are lucky to have a good sixth pick this year, thanks to the three-way trade with the Trail Blazers and Raptors last season.

At that time, in that transaction, the Suns actually wanted the Raptors' first-round pick this season, and although Oden was the champion of the year, he was actually an add-on, but no one expected that this add-on would become the king!

However, the Suns certainly won't let go of this precious No. 6 pick, so they opened the pick.

Originally, the Suns were going to pick a forward, but as a result, Oden appeared like a comet and became the Suns' indestructible super strength on the inside, so they had more options to choose a power forward!

"Now, it's up to them to pick Greg Monroe or Epe Freddy Judo." Chamberlain muttered to himself.

Small's departure from the Suns this summer is already a foregone conclusion, and after the Western Conference semifinals, he had a very unpleasant falling out with the team, mainly because the professionalism shown in the playoffs was so bad that Nash, who had partnered with him for so many years, was angry.

If Xiao Si played at the level he did when he was paired with Nash, it would be too difficult for the Warriors to win against the Suns, and as a result, his performance was not as good as Ibaka, so it would be impossible for the Suns to win.

Without Xiao Si, the Suns are short of people at the No. 4 position, and Monroe and Yudo are the best candidates at the No. 4 position among the remaining players.

Monroe and Yudo, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Yudo's characteristics are that he has a perfect big forward body, two meters tall, one hundred and ten kilograms of weight, in addition to a variety of offensive means, the defensive end is even more advantageous, rebounding and blocking ability is quite good. He has a very high basketball IQ, has excellent reading skills for the game, and has a strong learning ability.

In contrast, Monroe is much stronger, he is two meters and six meters tall, but he weighs one hundred and fifteen kilograms, compared to Howard and Chamberlain, these animals, the natural body is not enough, but among the rookies, he is already the strongest Cunzài.

The remarkable thing is that Monroe, despite his strength, is a technical frontcourt player, who can find the feeling of the game in every game, has excellent offensive skills both in the basket and in the face frame, has super passing ability at this height, can find teammates who run out of the open space when playing under the basket, and has a very high basketball IQ.

Stern then read out the Suns' selection -- they picked Greg Monroe!

At this time, the atmosphere in the VIP room of the Pistons was solemn, and the team's head coach Sanders smashed the rookie information on the table and scolded: "Damn the Phoenix people, they deserve to go to hell!" Monroe, Monroe, we want Monroe! ”

Over there, the Suns' uniform team was full of pride, and Nash humorously said to Oden: "Now we have two Grigs." ”

Greg Oden and Greg Monroe, it is foreseeable that the interior line formed by these two will give the Warriors a headache next season.

Monroe was chosen because he looked stronger and more durable, and Oden's rookie season has scared the Suns so far, and they hope to select Monroe, who has no injury history, so that even if Oden's old illness recurs in the future, that Monroe can hold up the façade.

In addition, Monroe has better vision and playmaking, and he had a career-high 12 assists against Providence University, which is also the most assists by an interior player in the history of the Great Eastern Conference.

The Pistons had no choice but to take Yudo, and in fact, it now seems that Yudo is better than Monroe, at least in terms of honor.

Yudo was nominated for the Associated Press Player of the Year as a junior, on the All-NBA 12-League Second Team, on the 12-League All-Defensive First Team, on the 12-League Defensive Team First Team, once on the 12-League Player of the Week, and on the 10-League All-Defensive First Team as a sophomore at the University of Michigan.

No. 8 is the Clippers, a team that has been on the wrong track since entering the 21st century, and they have been hoping to turn around with the draft, and last season they finally got a first-round pick, only to draft Griffin for another season.

So, this time the draft, they have to think carefully. In tenth place is the Pacers, and general manager Big Bird Bird with his uniform group looks at the rostrum with a solemn face, waiting for the Clippers' selection.

On the Clippers' side, the boss Sterling drove the expedition in person, and the general manager Carl Shadra lowered his eyebrows, as if the general manager of Ouchi reported the general account of internal affairs to Emperor Kangxi and said: "Boss, I think we should choose Al Amilou, who was nominated to the All-America Team by the Associated Press in his sophomore year, was nominated for both the Naismith Award and the Woodon Award, was selected to the All-NBA Second Team in the division, was named to the All-America Rookie Team in his freshman year, and was selected to the All-America All-America Team in his junior year of high school to participate in the Nike Summit Challenge Camp......"

Amilou is the younger brother of Duncan and Paul, and studied at Wake Forest University, but he led the team to a poor record and never even made it to the round of 16.

To be able to enter the little green house, Amilu had to thank his mother for giving him a powerful body, height 2. At 06 meters, he is a two-way forward, extremely athletic, good rebounding skills, and better on the defensive end than Duncan did in college.

The reason why he couldn't lead the school team to make a breakthrough in the NCAA was because Amilou's offense was too poor, his offensive skills still needed to be developed, and he especially lacked NBA-level shooting ability.

In contrast, Amilu is a hipster, and the other rookies are all dressed in suits and leather shoes, trembling, this guy is wearing big sunglasses, and the suit is also colorful, and he looks like a rural non-mainstream dress.

Amilou had previously tried out for the Clippers, and he was very good at the time, dunking and blocking, and even capping Griffin for a layup, which made Clippers general manager Carl Shadra happy at the time.

He had previously gotten a call from his agent saying there were no surprises and the Clippers would draft him.

At this time, when Stern began to prepare to read out the list of Clippers candidates, Amilou stood up first, and he pretended to be a fox friend next to him and said: "Guys, I'm going to Los Angeles soon, you know, I don't like that kind of impetuous big city, it's boring, the pace is too fast, the people's hearts are too bad, the force is too low, I still like Utah, Denver and those highland cities, that's where men should conquer......"

"The Los Angeles Clippers have selected a 6-foot-8" small forward from Fresno State University, George Paul!"

As Stern's voice fell, the chattering Amilu was stunned for a moment, he looked at the arena stupidly, and the corners of his mouth twitched - what about the big city of Los Angeles?

George Paul was also dumbfounded, he remembered that before the draft, his agent said that the Pacers wanted to draft him, but he was cut off by the Clippers halfway.

He also went to the Clippers for a tryout before, and it was with Amilu, who didn't play as well as Amilu at that time, and the most important thing was that Amilu showed a superhuman entertainment spirit at that time.

Los Angeles is an entertainment city, and Hollywood's Billy Foshanzhuang is here, so of course, I hope to choose an outgoing, playful and playful star to increase exposure.

Compared to Amilu, George Paul is as stuffy as a rock.

But Stern had already read his name, and George Paul could only walk up quickly, and he secretly comforted himself in his heart, it would be better to go to the Clippers, so that it would be close to his hometown, and he could also play and train in the same arena with his idol Kobe, maybe the two would be able to eat together.

Growing up in a small desert town in Palmdale, just north of Los Angeles, California, George didn't play much team basketball as a child, and although he loved the game and played it whenever he had free time, he mostly practiced alone in the park or played one-on-one with his sister.

Compared to other talents, George is not the kind of talented high school student who became famous early and even famous all over the United States, he didn't join the varsity team until his sophomore year of high school, and he didn't become the main player of the team until his junior year of high school.

In high school, as he grew taller, he was asked to play more on the inside, but his long-cherished dream was to become a wing player. When George focuses on practicing his ball-handling skills and outside shooting, he will both emulate Maddy's style and learn from the star he admires most, Kobe Bryant.

However, from the current point of view, George has not learned much from the two idols, at least his offense is far worse than these two scoring champions.

But that didn't affect the sparkle on him, and when George put on the Clippers hat, Bird's heart almost broke.

At the first moment, Bird yelled at his subordinates: "Call that idiot Sterling and ask him what he wants, damn it, how could this idiot who doesn't understand basketball pick George?!" ”

Pacers deputy general manager Seandre asked tremblingly, "Then who do we pick with the tenth pick?" ”

Yes, they originally wanted to draft George, as early as when Paul George announced that he would participate in the 2010 draft, Bird confirmed his intention to select him, in fact, as early as the past two years, he began to quietly observe and examine Paul George.

Just as Cardinal Auerbach did when he visited Bird, Bird used the same method to investigate Paul George, and then became convinced that this kid was a buildable material that would surely lead the Pacers to a revival in the future.

Hearing Seandre's inquiry, Bird's nose was almost crooked, and he roared: "Just pick one, just pick one, it's all garbage anyway, and the rest is garbage!" Call those hateful capitalists in Los Angeles and ask them what they want to take down Paul George for me! ”

At the same time, Nelson Sr. also said to his son Nelson Jr: "Contact Sterling and ask him who is interested in our team, and now Paul George is ours." ”

Trading is not so easy to make, especially with such ad hoc decisions.

The draft was still going on, and with the ninth pick coming from the Jazz, Sloan looked at the rookies who were still waiting to be drafted, nodded to the staff, and then someone sent their selection to the podium.

"The 10th pick in the first round, the Utah Jazz, selected Gordon Hayward, a six-foot-8" forward from Butler University!"

Despite the fact that Amilou, who had more glory, more potential, and more ability, sat in the small green room, Sloane still chose Cliff, who had been pre-examined.

Hayward is the archetypal swingman at the front, with skilled scoring, ball handling, passing, and rebounding skills, a wide and steady shot, and although white, he has an unusually tough style of play, which Sloan loves the most.

In the tenth pick, the grim-faced Bird hung up the phone, and Sterling was very vacillating in the call, not saying that he would trade George Paul, but only vaguely revealed that his team still liked Amilou.

In this way, Bird had no choice but to sign Amilu with the tenth draft pick.

Hearing Stern say that he was going to Indianapolis to report, Amilu was dumbfounded.

Compared to Los Angeles, Indianapolis is a township, that is, a big rural village, and it is said that nightclubs will close at 12 o'clock, which is hell for the little prince of nightclubs, Amilu!

What's even worse is that the boss of the Pacers is Big Bird Bird, and Bird's temper is well known, and a guy like him who likes to play and be funny went to the Pacers, isn't he looking for abuse?

But Stern had read his name, and no matter how much he resisted, he had to come up and accept the result.

Moreover, it is too late to withdraw from the election, because the NBA has a 'Mourning Rule', which gives the league president the right to impose financial or suspension penalties on players who refuse to play for their new club after a transfer.

With that, Amilu walked to the podium with steps so heavy that he could barely move, during which the Pacers staff handed him the draft cap, which he took and gave the staff a smile that was worse than crying.

The face was even more ugly was Bird, looking at Amilu standing on the rostrum in a coquettish suit and with big sunglasses, he felt irritated in his heart, and yelled at his subordinates: "Go and sue that stupid rookie, take off ****** glasses for me!" Where is he? Is it sunbathing? Bastard! ”
