137, the stars are shining

Wudi's popularity faded only before the draft began, and while there was occasional talk of his 71-point miracle at the Illinois Charity Tournament, it wasn't as sensational as the two days it was made.

The reason for this effect is related to this year's draft, which was already expected two years ago or even earlier, and the main reason is that there are so many talents this year.

The fact that talented players appeared in the same year's draft has to be said that this is a phenomenon that can be said but also bad.

The good thing is that the '03 draft, which has so much talent, is known as the platinum generation that can surpass the '96 draft, and although the draft has not yet taken place, it has even caught up with the '84 generation. This shows how good the quality of this year's draft is.

The bad part is that because of the abundance of talent, many players have to give up the idea of the draft in order to get a better way out, in the hope of being able to get a good draft pick next year, which may also cause a fault line in the middle quality players of this year.

The highly competitive 03 draft is also a matter of course, after all, Jordan has just retired, and everyone wants to see if this new torchbearer will be born from this year's rookies......

A number of authoritative media in the United States said on the eve of the draft that once the rookies in 03 grow up, they will change the future NBA landscape, and ideally, the future NBA rulers are also likely to be among them.

This statement is not too much at all, at least that's how Wu Di sees it in his heart.

The reason for this perception is that Wu Di met with a college player during March Madness.

And in the competition between that player and Wu Di, the opponent's ability to attack and defend well made Wu Di feel amazing...... Importantly, that player also showed up in this year's draft.

What's more, what's even more terrifying is that the draft prospects of this friend made by Wu Di in this draft can only be regarded as average.

Therefore, Wu Di felt the horror of this year's rookies, he couldn't imagine that there would be so many talents in a draft year, and he desperately wanted to meet these people.

It was driven by this thought that Wu Di decided to come to the NBA draft.

……

The U.S. is overwhelmed in the hope of a super draft year, and the excitement of fans is palpable, and they all want their home team to pick the talent they want.

On June 26th, the high-profile draft finally arrived, and fans across the United States were waiting for the unusual 03 draft almost simultaneously in front of the screen.

The luxurious metropolis of New York was in a fiery atmosphere on this day, and in the huge city, motorcades with the logos of the league's teams were slowly driving towards Madison Garden.

As for the rookies who were invited to the draft, they were already sitting in the hall accompanied by their families, but because the draft was far from starting, these young people would inevitably run around and chat with their friends who were also participating in the draft......

When Wu Di appeared at the draft scene, it also caused a lot of commotion, and the surprise was similar to when he was selected.

The eyes of the rookies looked at Wu Di at the same time, and there was a strange glint in their eyes, for this young man who kept creating miracles and constantly changing everyone's opinion of him, the rookies had a trace of desire to fight with him.

"He is Wu Di, the man of the year in this year's finals."

"How did he end up here, could it be that he still really has the right to decide the Washington Wizards draft?"

"This guy is here, and his presence might be able to change the minds of some general managers, after all, he represented last year's draft."

…… Countless chatters continued to sound, they were all whispering, and all of them revolved around Wu Di.

Wu Di has long been accustomed to this reaction, and as a completely underappreciated rookie, he was not only selected with the 11th pick, but also became the best player in his class at the end of a season.

Thus, he represents a miracle in his own right...... When some general managers see him, they will definitely think of last year's draft, and they will definitely be extremely cautious when drafting.

"Wu Di's appearance is afraid that many general managers will have the idea of making a desperate bet, after all, he was the biggest upset last year, and his achievements at this stage are also the highest in the same class." The ESPN commentator in charge of the national live broadcast said with a smile on his face.

This thought appeared in everyone's minds at the same time, so this year's draft was covered with a different veil, which was a sense of unknown.

Wu Di smiled, he kept scanning the scene of the draft meeting, and there were indeed a few familiar faces in it.

When he saw a person waving at him, Wu Di walked over.

"Brian, I think you're excited right now."

Wu Di laughed and hugged the strong man who stepped forward.

Brian Cook, a graduate of the University of Illinois and teammates with Wu Di, is predicted to be likely to appear in the lottery draft this year, so it is only natural that he will be offered an invitation by the league.

"Of course, I've been waiting too long for this day, haha."

Wu Di smiled slightly, to be honest, he knows this old friend who has been with him for several years, and Brian Cook has always hoped to become an NBA player.

"Yes, you're going to make your dreams come true. Brian, is there any team that has thrown you an olive branch to you? Wu Di asked with a smile, he thought that there would definitely be a team that would take a fancy to Brian.

I saw Brian Cook excitedly said: "Atlanta and Los Angeles are most interested in me. San Antonio has approached me as well, but it has no intention of trading draft picks upward......"

Wu Di nodded slightly, as he thought. For a forward player like Brian Cook, who is only 6'9 tall but weighs 250 pounds, he will be embarrassed by the inconsistency position, and it is generally difficult to get a particularly high pick, so if Wu Di is given draft rights, he will only rank Cook in the middle or bottom of the first round.

After the two of them talked, Wu Di sat down at Cook's table, and then looked around at the rookie players in the hall.

Except for this year's favorites LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, the rest of the rookies have already sat in their assigned positions.

Wu Di smiled slightly, opened the rookie evaluation without hesitation, and then began to look at everyone one by one.

First of all, the nearest big man with a relatively small head, thin body, wearing a new beige clothes, he was communicating with the family around him, so he didn't notice that Wu Di was looking at him.

Name: Chris Bosh

Height: 6'10".

Weight: 220 lbs

Age: 19

Offense: 45, Defense: 25, Combat Power: 70 (Green Level).

Reb: 49 (Medium), Organization: 25 (Average), Body: 56 (Medium)

Potential: 85 (Excellent), Plasticity: Four Stars

Draft Evaluation: First Round Lotto

建yìSelect Cheng dù: Top five. ”

Seeing the results of Chris Bosh's rookie evaluation, Wu Di immediately understood the ability of this rookie.

A college player who didn't have to go through the NBA to reach the green rating? That's a lot better than the average NBA player.

The potential of up to 85 and the four-star plasticity made Wu Di understand how much energy this seemingly ordinary big man had in his body.

If you talk about shortcomings, Chris Posh's rebounding ability may be a little average, and the 56 body rating can only make him initially reach the NBA confrontation level.

However, considering their rookie status, and thinking of his combat power value of only more than 20 in the draft at that time, Wu Di understands that this big man is excellent, and he has the potential to become an All-Star in a short period of time.

It is worth mentioning that one of the goals of the Raptors team with a scout sign is precisely Chris Posh, and now that Wu Di sees this result, he also has a certain plan in his heart, Chris Bosh is indeed worth choosing.

But thinking of that "build yì draft Cheng dù: the top five in the first round." That is to say, there are at least a few people who are at the same level as Bosh. So, Wu Di continued to use the rookie evaluation to observe.

The next few players are all average, but they have their own characteristics. For example, the one named David West, who has a higher rebounding rating than Bosh, although his ability is a bit low, but his potential and plasticity are good, and the system's construction has also reached the first-round lotto zone.

"Name: Dwayne Wade

Height: 6'4".

Weight: 210 lbs

Age: 21

Offense: 40, Defense: 35, Combat Power: 75 (Green Level).

Reb: 27 (average), Organization: 55 (medium), Body: 64 (excellent)

Potential: 91 (perfect), Plasticity: 5 stars

Draft Evaluation: First Round Lotto

建yìSelect Cheng dù: Top five. ”

Looking at the results of this assessment that suddenly appeared, and then looking at a handsome black boy not far away, Wu Di couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he had heard of this Devon Wade, who played at Marquette University.

He's a well-balanced two-way defender, and Marquette made it to the Final Four in March Madness, while Wade was named Defensive Player of the Year.

Throughout his junior year of college, Wade won multiple honors and can be said to be one of the favorites in this year's draft.

But what Wu Di didn't expect was that this Wade had such great potential, and that plasticity had reached the top five-star.

Such a player, when he was in front of Wu Di, he already impulsively wanted to call his sister.

But thinking about the quality of this year's draft, Wu Di couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Because, no matter what the media predicts, Wade is not the best one.

After calming down, Wu Di continued to observe the remaining rookies until a young white man came into his sight......
