"Head, the draft report for the joint tryout has come out."

At around 10 a.m. on the second day of the joint trial, scouting supervisors and general managers of many NBA teams received text messages from their scouts one after another.

For the future of the team, in order to find the right rookie in the next draft.

The general managers of most NBA teams have invariably opened the official website of the NBA Draft, the NBA draft.

Although all NBA teams have their own scouting system, there is also a considerable gap between the level of scouts and scouts.

In this year, the vast majority of NBA teams have not yet enjoyed the dividends of NBA globalization.

Therefore, the salaries and abilities of the team staff are usually relatively low.

In the position of scouting, there will be more related households, and the level of scouting of most teams is actually not as good as the experts of the draft network.

What's more, the draft network has first-hand information about joint trials, and can compare players of the same type horizontally through big data to draw more objective conclusions.

Compared to NBA scouts who focus on one or two rookies, the draft report is more comprehensive and more convincing.

Of course, in the eyes of the general manager of the NBA team, the rookie report of the draft network only has reference value.

What really influences their final decision is the team trial after the joint trial.

When the time comes, call all the rookies you like to the team for a tryout, and you will know who is stronger and who is weaker by comparison.

However, unlike those teams that have already finished the regular season and playoffs and are preparing for the 03-04 season earlier.

The general manager of the team, who is now preparing for the Eastern and Western finals, can only focus most of his attention on the divisional finals first.

The team's rookie tryouts can only begin when the playoff journey is completely over.

Of course, as the general manager of the team, you need to grasp the general direction at all times, and the future is as important as the present!

Now that the draft report for the joint tryout has been released, it makes sense to take the time to take a look at the team's future possibilities.

Joe Dumas, the general manager of the Detroit Pistons, quickly logged on to the draft network after receiving a text message from his subordinates, looking for a suitable guard and interior player for the Pistons.

Not long ago, the Pistons just reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, in the course of the first-round and second-round playoff competition, the Pistons also exposed a lot of problems.

First of all, there is the problem of the height of the inside line, Big Ben's athleticism and defensive ability are very good, but he is too short.

When encountering a tall interior line who is good at low-post singles, Big Ben is too difficult to defend, and he tries his best, but the effect is not very good.

It is precisely for this reason that the Pistons in the offseason are imperative to find a big center with enough size and defense, or to match Big Ben with a second center who is good at single defense.

This is the only way to give full play to Daben's ability to assist in defense and protect the frame, and ensure the defensive intensity of the Pistons' restricted area.

Secondly, the defense on the outside also needs to be strengthened.

Originally, the backcourt combination of Billups and Hamilton was not too bad defensively, but Michael Curry on the wing needed to be strengthened on both offensive and defensive ends.

Fortunately, Prince, a rookie drafted last year, performed quite well in the playoffs.

When playing the sixth man, it takes up a lot of Michael Curry's time, and it can help the team a lot on both offensive and defensive ends.

At this rate, after improving in the offseason, Prince is basically qualified for the Pistons' starting small forward position next season.

As a result, the problem of perimeter defense will only be with Billups and Hamilton.

Originally, the defense of Billups and Hamilton was in the middle of the league.

The problem is that in the previous Eastern Conference semifinals, Billups suffered a left ankle injury, which greatly affected his lateral movement and defensive ability.

Pistons backup point guard Chaki Atkins is too short and significantly inferior defensively to Billups.

During Billups' injury, Atkins played as the starting point guard, which directly made the Pistons' perimeter defense porous and useless.

It's also about Billups' injury concerns and the lack of defense on the Pistons' guard line.

Dumas is ready to use the Pistons' first-round pick to sign a guard who is both defensive and improvise.

Considering that the Pistons have traded draft picks to the Grizzlies before, and the Grizzlies are one of the bad teams this season.

This means that in the next draft, the Pistons are likely to have two first-round picks, one in the top 10 in the first round and one at the end of the first round.

In Dumas's plan, if he can use the Grizzlies' first-round pick, it would be best to sign Hinrich.

However, consider that anything can happen in the draft.

In order to avoid being cut off by other teams, he was caught off guard and there was no one to choose from. Dumas had to work on a few more options.

"Hey, Syracuse University is ranked so high as an Asian guard?"

Dumas was looking for a defender, so he looked at the perimeter players first.

Then I quickly saw that the player with the seventh overall rating among the outside players in this joint tryout, with a total of 92 points, was none other than Doon, who had shined in the NCAA finals before.

Because on the day of the NCAA finals, the NBA will suspend the game for a day to avoid the edge.

Therefore, Dumas, who watched the NCAA finals, still has a certain impression of Doon.

Of course, Dumas, as the general manager of the Pistons, also knows the moisture of the draft network's ratings.

This is mainly a rookie with a lotto market, and basically does not do all the items of the joint trial.

As a result, their data are not entered into the database, i.e. their abilities and overall scores are temporarily recorded as 0 points.

The remaining rookies who are involved in all projects will be compared horizontally through the data.

There are a total of 12 abilities, which are athleticism, body size, defense, strength confrontation, speed, leadership, shooting, instant power, ball control (rebounding), potential, passing (response), and influence.

Outside players are compared to outside players, and inside players are compared to inside players.

The maximum score is 10 and the minimum score is 6.

To put it simply, if there are 30 outside players in the same rookie class who participate in the full physical test, then there are only 6 outside players who score 10 points for a certain ability.

Some people can only get a full score of 10, and some people barely reach 10 points.

In short, even if you rate the eternal No. 21 rookie, there are 6 points for potential.

Having said that, it is also because the lotto show is basically not finished with the project, so under the existing scoring mechanism, most of the ability values of all rookies are more or less high.

A total score of 92 points like Doon's returns to the normal level, almost in the range of 85 to 88 points.

The draft market is basically at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round.

Considering that this year is a big year for the draft, the quality of rookies is higher, and the corresponding rookie overall rating will be lower than in previous years.

For example, 14 is a big year for the draft, because there are too many geniuses, and everyone's rating is not high.

Wiggins scored 99 points, Parker scored 100 points, Embiid scored 100 points, Gordon, the fourth pick, only scored 92 points, and Jokic, the 11th pick in the second round, even only 85 points.

On the other hand, in other draft years, Oden scored 106 points, Durant 104 points, Rose 104 points, Griffin 105 points, and Wall 103 points.

It can only be said that the rating thing is only applicable to the comparison of the same class.

Excluding the 13 lottery picks, Doon was ranked 7th out of all the outside players in the joint tryout. Then among the rookies in the whole class, at least they can also be ranked in the top 30.

Considering that the Pistons' own first-round pick just happened to be able to win Doon, Dumas, who had a little impression of Doon, was naturally patient and continued to check Doon's specific draft report.

After a while, the sound of a phone call rang in the office of the general manager of the piston......
