A week later, the curtain fell on the joint tryout, and a day later, on May 18, another major event in the draft, the draw ended.

The result can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the king is an old unlucky bastard, the grizzly bear thunder king of Europe.

The Kings swung to 17 wins last season, the league's bottom-to-bottom record, but ended up with only a No. 4 pick.

And the Grizzlies and Thunder, one fifth from the bottom and the other from the fourth, but they were happy to mention a list of eyes and a flower show respectively.

The final lottery picks from high to low are: Clippers, Grizzlies, Thunder, Kings, Wizards, Timberwolves, Warriors, Knicks, Raptors, Bucks, Nets, Bobcats, Pacers, Suns.

With the results of the lottery coming out, both NBADraft and ESPN updated their draft predictions.

On this day, Xu Yong and the others sat in front of the computer and watched NBADraft's latest draft predictions.

Because they're going to their respective private tryouts soon, and this should be the last time they'll be together before the draft.

So they all seemed very serious at this time.

Chicago's internet speed is fast, and it has already popped up in the blink of an eye.

This time, the list has been updated very comprehensively, and even the templates have been listed.

Or you can interpret it as a list that is close to the final draft result.

The reason for this is that the selection of NBA teams not only depends on the ability and potential of rookies, but also on the needs of the team, which is the result of a combination of factors.

1. Clippers, Blake Griffin (Template: Karl Malone/Antonio McDyce)

In Griffin's draft report, he had a staggering overall rating of 105 points, and he was affirmed in almost every way except for his average reach.

Scouting Report Appreciation: He is a monster, explosive athleticism, perfect strength and work ethic, full of toughness, very advocating confrontation, speed, agility, explosiveness are all top-notch, and the ball handling ability is very good, will be an excellent passer, the palm of the hand can easily control the ball, so he has a very good chance to become a playmaking power forward, and he already has a mid-range, back-to-back, and even Duncan's mid-range play, and the technique is very mature.

The Clippers have both Zach Randolph and Chris Carman on the shelf, and their draft goals are very clear.

2. Grizzlies, Hakeem Thabit (Template: Mutombo)

With a rating of 97, Tabit is praised mainly on the defensive end, with a 2.21m height that he has the speed and agility of lateral movement that no big man in his class has, and he is athletic.

It is worth mentioning that because of his good hand, although his current offensive performance is like a blank sheet of paper (to put it mildly), he is considered to be able to develop offensive skills.

The Grizzlies don't have a reliable center on their roster after trading Pau Gasol, but they haven't ruled out using that pick up Ricky Rubio with that pick, and they're even trying to make some trades with the pick.

3. Thunder, Ricky Rubio (Template: Steve Nash/Jose Calderon)

Rubio also received a 97 rating for his defensive ability, leadership qualities, ball handling, potential, and passing, and is considered one of the purest point guards of the past few years.

Rubio was considered a top-five player in the 2008 draft after his '08 Olympic stellar appearance, and by the time he announced his candidacy earlier this year, he quickly rose into the top three and was even considered a chance to be the top pick.

But because of the high cost of buyouts at the club, and Rubio himself said that he would choose to stay overseas if he couldn't get to a suitable team, his draft market is full of uncertainty.

The Thunder still want to pick Rubio with Westbrook, perhaps because they want Westbrook to play the No. 2 spot like the university, and if Rubio doesn't end up in the NBA, then James Harden and Xu Yong are considered players they are interested in.

4. Kings, Tyrek Evans (Template: Larry Hughes/Jamal Crawford)

Evans received a 96-point rating and was fully recognized for his physical and immediate prowess, and was considered one of the two best two-way defenders of the tournament.

The Kings have a clear goal in this year's draft, they want a point guard, Rubio is their first choice, if Rubio can't be selected, Evans, Jrue Holiday and Stephen Curry are their alternate targets, and among the three, Evans is the least risky one.

5. Wizards, James Harden (Template: Ginobili/Brandon Roy)

Harden received a 98-point rating, second only to Griffin in this year's draft.

Harden's draft report hasn't changed much from before, but one thing has been a key factor in his draft pick, with scouts believing that his style of play requires a lot of ball handling and a high turnover rate.

In addition to Harden, they are also interested in fellow Arizonada State University's Yong Xu, who has impressively performed in the NCAA Finals.

But in fact, they are more inclined to sell the No. 5 pick in their hands than the draft.

6. Timberwolves, Stephen Curry (template: Mahlamed Raugh)

Curry has a rating of only 92 points, and in addition to a perfect 10 points for shooting, he also has only 7 points for athleticism, defense, strength, leadership ability, and passing.

What the Timberwolves are lacking right now is a center and a point guard, because they can't pick Thabit, and their draft goals are similar to those of the Kings, with Rubio being the best choice, Evans second, Curry and Holiday again, Curry's popularity is obviously higher than Holiday comparison.

7. Warrior, Jrue Holiday (Template: None)

Holiday has a rating of just 88, but his defensive prowess is considered the strongest player in this class.

As the No. 1 high school student in the United States in the class of 2009, Holiday was undoubtedly a failure in his freshman season at UCLA, and his decision to run at this time was risky, but his physical gifts were still enough to get him into the lottery, especially since his characteristics perfectly complemented Monta Ellis, the core of the Warriors.

Even though he's not the type that Nelson Sr. likes, the Warriors will have a hard time resisting the temptation to pick him with that pick.

The Warriors are also very interested in Xu Yong, and they have always wanted to draft a Chinese player, and they were interested in Yi Jianlian in the 2007 draft.

However, Corey Margeti is already on the team, and unless they choose to trade, it is unlikely that they will choose Xu Yong.

8. Knicks, Xu Yong (Template: Tracy Mike Grady/Rudy Gay)

With a 96-point rating of 10 for leadership ability, and a 9 for athleticism, body size, and basketball IQ, Seo is considered the best swingman at the top guard in this year's draft.

Xu Yong's draft report appreciation: Perfect leader, excellent athleticism, top basketball IQ, and has shown a stable pull-up jump shot, and a certain ability to handle the ball, tough and not afraid of defense, and has a chance to become an All-Star level player.

But at the same time, injuries may be a concern, and there are some unknowns about whether his character will fit in the NBA, and he is full of uncertainty.

The Knicks' desire for Xu Yong's draft is second only to Curry, and if they can't get Curry and Xu Yong hasn't been drafted, they will [not hesitate] to pick Xu Yong in this pick.

It can be seen that the website has a very high evaluation of Xu Yong, but at the same time, the website also gives the reason why Xu Yong is finally in eighth place.

First of all, teams with high picks this year need centers and point guards, not swing guards.

Secondly, as the report said, injuries, personality, the NBA has a natural impression of yellow people.

Of course, there is another point that the website will not mention if it knows it.

The so-called predecessors planted trees and later people enjoyed the shade, and Wang Zhizhi, the forerunner, paved the way, which made Yao Ming's champion sign a possibility;

It is also precisely because of Yao Ming's success in the NBA that Yi Jianlian can become the No. 6 pick;

Naturally, Yi Jianlian's poor performance made NBA players begin to be cautious about Chinese players.

Not to mention that Yi Jianlian can also refer to Yao Ming, but Xu Yong, as the first yellow outside player to enter the lotto area, has no precedent.

And without precedent, it represents the unknown and risk.

All of these factors put it together, and his draft pick wouldn't theoretically be too high.

However, Xu Yong's excellent performance in the joint tryout, coupled with Schwartz's excellent packaging ability, made his draft pick fluctuate very much, and he could fall out of the top 10 pick, or he could become this year's flower show.
