Chapter 195: Damn Knicks Again
Chapter 195 is the damn Knicks again
If the Knicks don't make a move, it's scary when they make a shot, everyone knows that Kahn is brain-dead, but he didn't expect his brain-dead to this point, although it wasn't that he didn't trade a few low-level picks for high-pick picks before, but the Knicks obviously made money on this deal.
Last season's New York Knicks have aroused the vigilance of many teams in the league, especially the Eastern team, the feat of sweeping the Cavaliers and nearly forcing the Green Shirts to death has been deeply imprinted in people's hearts.
Cousins is one of the best big men in the draft, with a strong body and outstanding height, of course, all-round ability and terrifying potential, and is expected to be another king of the NBA in the future.
Although he has a tonnage of 122 kilograms, Cousins has a cute nickname that matches his baby-faced - civet.
You are not mistaken, it is elegant, although you must question the word when you see Cousins's huge body of 2.11 meters and 122 kilograms, but when you see his traditional and perfect interior attack as much as I do, the first word that comes to mind must be elegance.
As a big man begging for a living in the jungle of interior muscles, Cousins of the University conquered everyone with his nimble feet and soft touch. While his opponent was still waiting for him to force his way through him. He will solve everything with a simple little hook; When his opponents mistook him for being soft, like Davis in the Celtics, he fell at the touch of a button. He'll put everything behind his back with a powerful turn and score with a dunk. After two rounds, the person in charge of defending Cousins realizes that this very cute looking guy is destroying himself with a smile on his face, and there is nothing he can do but be in the background.
Cousins' strong interior strength is due to his long arm span, which is also an important reason why he will give people a sense of elegance whenever he scores points on the inside, unlike other American muscles that eat opponents with explosive power, Cousins' interior offense is more like a cat playing with ball of line, relaxed and lazy.
Think that's all Cousins can do on the offensive end? All I can say is that you guessed wrong. In addition to amazing inside dominance. Cousins also has shooting from beyond the three-point line, while his ball-handling ability is among the best among big men. If you can't imagine how such a meaty interior can dribble and kill the inside with ease, imagine what last year's champion Blake Griffin has done in this year's game.
The only difference between Cousins and him is that he doesn't stunned everyone with a thunderous dunk. He prefers to gracefully put the ball in the hoop on everyone, and then slowly walk past the opponent who has not yet recovered his senses.
It's not an exaggeration to say that Cousins is a big cat.
The New York Knicks already have Li Feng, a Tyrannosaurus rex, on the inside, and even if the little shark Eddie Cory is gone, the young civet Cousins makes the Knicks' interior a lot thicker.
Kings general manager Petri is as angry as Morey, Cousins, who has been considered a forbidden person by him, and now that he has been snatched up by New York, he is so angry that he wants to go up to Donnie Worth and give him a big ear scraper.
However, Petri remained the general manager, and soon adjusted, and the Kings changed their goals. Wesley Johnson was taken off the perimeter after Kevin Martin and Nocioni were gone, and they only had that consistent guy at the back of their hands — Francisco Garcia.
Fortunately, Wesley Johnson's value at this time is not much lower than Cousins, and the 2.01-meter-tall Johnson is considered to be the first small forward in this year's candidates, and his template in the NBA is "hacker" Sean Marion. …,
He has a long arm span and has a good amount of power, excellent rebounding skills, mid-range shooting ability, defense, blocks and low-post offensive skills are quite good, and excellent body rhythm control.
Thinking about it, Petri felt a lot better than Morey. After all, they only got Durham Porter a few days ago, and in addition to the interior and the potential Jason Thompson, it is not bad to select Johnson.
However, the next moment, he and the other members of the alliance's uniform team were all furious. Especially the Detroit Pistons, of course, without the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knicks.
Same with the Timberwolves. The Warriors didn't have any memories of the No. 6 pick in their hands, seeing that Cousins and other players were drafted, they didn't leave them, their draft picks were sold, and the object of their trade was the New York Knicks.
First, the Warriors drafted Greg Monroe and then traded with the Knicks, getting the No. 11 and No. 24 picks in the Knicks' possession and a first-round pick next year.
It's the Knicks again!!
It's not just Houston Cheap Iron Rooster Morey who has a grudge this time, except for both sides of the trade, everyone else is scolding the Warriors' uniform group for being stupid, including David Kahn, who has always thought he's earned......
What is this for?
If it is normal to trade Cousins to fill the vacancy after Corey leaves, after selecting Cousins as a center, and then selecting a center Greg Monroe, does the Knicks want to play a two-tower strategy?
Even if it's a two-tower tactic, think about the Knicks and Li Feng and Ibaka, is it possible?
No matter what others think, the Knicks have always made money in this deal, even if they sell Monroe, they will make a profit, and although Monroe has a little worse potential than Cousins, he is also a tall interior line that is scarce in the league.
If you don't know Monroe, you can provide two templates for him that the professional draft media currently give: on the NBA draft.com, Monroe's template is the less athletic version of Lamar Odom, and on the draft courier.com, his template is Brad Miller. If you don't think Odom and Miller's names are loud enough, then Chris Weber's name must be convincing enough. When Monroe first debuted, there were countless scouting experts who said that they had a glimpse of young Webb from this child.
In high school, Monroe made a name for himself in the United States, and he has always been regarded as the best American interior seedling, especially in his passing skills, which is very prominent among players in the same position. In 2008, Monroe played in the McDonald's High School All-Star Game with Tyrek Evans, Brandon Jennings, Luke Babbitt and other players of the same calibre, and later chose Georgetown University, which has a tradition of good center. Under the aura of Ewing, Mutombo, Mourning and other predecessors, Monroe scored 12.7 points (57.2% shooting), 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks in his first season, and won the best rookie award in the Great East League at that time.
But let's be honest, in his freshman season, Monroe did not show the expected dominance on the inside. A large number of pundits began to criticize Monroe's concentration on the pitch, criticizing him for his lack of desire to win and his style of play being too soft.
But in reality, Monroe is not such a player. Or rather, he used the following season to reverse these evaluations of him.
In the NCAA this season, Monroe has significantly increased the intensity of his game, becoming more aggressive both offensively and defensively, taking responsibility for key shots on the court, and always showing his presence in hand-to-hand combat under the basket, while his original playmaking characteristics have further shone through. In addition, his enthusiasm for the game has greatly improved, and he can show a youthful domineering spirit on the court from time to time. In 34 games, Monroe recorded 13 double-doubles, averaging 16.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks on the season. …,
At this year's NCAA Tournament, Georgetown was quite tragic, as the No. 3 seeds were knocked out in the first round by No. 14 seed Ohio University and caused a big upset.
Monroe's performance was the most normal on the team, and he handed over 19 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Due to the premature elimination, the media could not further observe Monroe's performance, this Li Feng's junior brother was considered the most reasonable template before the draft conference is Li Feng's brother Roy Hibbert, no matter what, the Knicks hoarded Li Feng, Cousins, Ibaka, Monroe four generals, and had the shadow of a strong team.
There weren't many amazing things in the next draft, but there were many examples like Cousins and Monroe, who were not high-pick rookies such as the top pick, many rookies wore the team's hat one second, and heard the news that they were assigned the next.
Kahn continues to sell out the draft, and the Timberwolves have been short of draft picks since Garnett left, perhaps to make up for it after the Joe Smith case......
The Timberwolves picked up University of Nevada forward Luke with the 16th pick. Babbitt and then Babbitt and Ryan. Gomez was sent to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Matt Webster.
The Thunder picked Eric Bledsoe with the 18th pick, and he was subsequently traded to the Clippers in exchange for a future first-round pick.
The Timberwolves selected Trevor Booker with the 23rd pick, and then packaged this year's second-round pick No. 56 in exchange for the Wizards' No. 30 in the first round + No. 35 in the second round.
After the event, the Phoenix Suns selected Dwyanne with the 60th pick. Collins is wrapping up the draft and the 2010 free market is just around the corner. (To be continued.)
