"Doon, we are very happy with the results of your tryout.

We're willing to use your first-round pick to get you and focus on developing you next season.

But would you rather try out with another team for our sake? ”

After the trial, Dumas negotiated with Doon in front of Bill Duffy.

After today's trial, Doon also roughly knows how good he really is.

His draft prospects are no longer the end of the first round, but the middle of the first round.

While rookie potential is still a consideration for the draft, power is more important than potential for playoff teams in the middle of the first round and at the end of the first round.

In the previous actual singles process, Doon finished up against Luke Ridno, Reece Gaines, and Dundee Jones.

Even though Marcus Banks was strong and like a small steel cannon, he lost 3-4 to Doon.

Marcus Banks was not convinced by Doon and wanted to give it a try, but Dumas did not open his mouth after all, saying that Doon and Marcus Banks would fight again.

Now Dumas has taken the initiative to receive Doon and let the staff get in touch with the rookies who are participating in other tryouts, which shows how much Dumas values Doon.

Recognizing his value, Doane offered to raise the price: "I'm willing to play for the Detroit Pistons too, but I want your team to trade draft picks up." ”

"We're willing to pay some price to get you.

If the Memphis Grizzlies don't get the No. 1 pick, we're willing to use this lottery pick to get you.

If you agree to cooperate with us, we need you to refuse a tryout from another team and only attend our tryout.

We're going to invite you to Detroit for a trip or two after the lottery, are you willing to accept that? ”

Drawing pies is a must-have skill for every NBA general manager, even a moral model like Dumas.

"Mr. Dumas, I don't mean to disrespect you, but your terms are not fair to my clients.

My client is willing to play for Detroit, but we also need to make a few more choices in the coming period.

Whether the shoes fit or not can only be figured out by wearing them.

We don't mind if you continue to try out other rookies, but we hope you respect our freedom to try out other teams. ”

As an agent, Bill Duffy noticed that Dumas brought up a topic that Doon was not easy to answer, so he immediately stepped forward to block the gun.

Dumas heard Bill Duffy say this, and he didn't force it: "I respect your choice and look forward to seeing you again in a while." ”

After leaving Detroit, Bill Duffy planned to take Doon back to New York to wait for the results of the draw.

However, Doon insisted on participating in the Pacers' tryout, and Bill Duffy followed Doon's wishes and gave up his life to accompany the gentleman to Indianapolis.

The Pacers only have a second-round pick, and now Doon's draft has risen to the middle of the first round.

Although other than the Pistons, other teams are not very clear. But through the next tryout, Doon's strength and draft prospects will not be a secret.

A few days later, Bill Duffy even deliberately took Doon with Anthony's tryout.

When the time comes, contact a few media outlets and reveal a little about the content of the trial, and Doon's draft market will naturally rise and reach the level of the middle of the first round.

So, Doon didn't need to go to the Pacers' tryout.

Two days were wasted, and the results did not surprise Bill Duffy, and the Pacers were very interested in Dhorn, but could not immediately promise a first-round pick.

The Pacers still underestimated Doon's strength, and after giving Doon a physical test, they only arranged for Jamal Tinsley to have a singles test with Doon.

As a result, Doon showed maturity that surprised Larry Bird, who is the vice president of the Pacers.

Jamal Tinsley is also a first-round pick and has been honed in the NBA for another two years!

Although Doon already has a draft prospect at the end of the first round, he is just a yellow shooter who has not had much playing time in the NCAA and does not have much ball-handling ability.

However, Jamal Tinsley played three games with Doon, losing 18-21, 15-21, 17-21 to Doon.

Although the score difference is not large, it is all three battles, which is very revealing.

It was found that the strength shown by Doon far exceeded their expectations.

Pacers general manager Danny Walsh immediately shook people, and then alarmed Reggie Miller and Ron Artest, who were already on vacation.

In the end, it was Artest who went down the court in person and fought with Doon to help the Pacers regain face.

Doon's impromptu power is very good, but he was a shooter before, and he still played too little heads-up with the ball.

What's more, Artest's body and defense are far stronger than Jamal Tinsley.

6 to 21, in just one game, the Pacers basically measured Doon's true level.

Doon's ball-handling ability is really not good, but it's okay to play off the bench with the Pacers.

What's more, Doon has a good physical confrontation, a relatively active defense, plus a good three-point shot, and can play without the ball without eating the ball.

This kind of 3D property is exactly what walkers need.

As Pacers scouts concluded after watching a joint tryout, Doon is almost perfect for a replacement for Reggie Miller.

Although Dwan's quality has yet to be tested in the playoffs, at least next season he can replace a lot of Reggie Miller's playing time, which greatly eases Reggie Miller's work.

After the trial, Reggie Miller made no secret of his love for Doon and took the initiative to invite Doon and Bill Duffy to dinner.

But the problem is that this year's Pacers don't have a first-round pick, and Reggie Miller's private wooing of Doon won't help.

Maybe Danny Walsh and Bird will figure it out after the fact, but when Doon left with Reggie Miller, neither mentioned the promise of a first-round pick or even a request for another tryout.

Normally, teams will invite players to two or three trials to make sure they have the right people.

This time, Doon came to the Pacers for a tryout, which is undoubtedly wishful thinking.

"It looks like we can only expect the Pistons!" After guessing the Pacers' thoughts, Doon can only hope that Dumas will use the Grizzlies' draft pick to sign him as promised.

However, will this year's Grizzlies still get the list of eye signs?

Doon is looking forward to it!

May 22, New Jersey Cox, lotto draw convention.

The prelude to the draft is about to kick off, and the battle between James and Anthony for the top pick will basically come to an end tonight.

With NBA Vice President Russ Granick officially coming to the forefront, followed by notaries and general managers of 13 lotto teams, the mystery of the draw will be revealed.

In fact, the lottery draw has been completed under the witness of the backstage notary, and the draw also starts with the champion lottery until the first 12 places are drawn.

However, in order to save the suspense to the end, Lars Granick took out the envelope to reveal the mystery, starting with the No. 13 pick in the first round.

"The 13th pick in the first round of the 2003 draft was the Houston Rockets!"

Russ Granick pulled out the stationery inside the envelope and announced.

And the general manager of the Rockets on the scene didn't say anything about it, because they had already traded the draft pick to the Grizzlies.

Next, Russ Granik went on to publish the answers in other envelopes.

The SuperSonics got the 12th pick, the Warriors 11th pick, the Wizards 10th, and the Hawks 9th.

Hearing that the Eagles had won the ninth pick, Doon turned his head with interest to look at Anthony, who was staring at the TV.

If Doon remembers correctly, the 9th pick in his previous life was the New York Knicks!

"Now, it's interesting!"
