The Basketball Court Swordsman

Henson did spend a long time reading the information on the table at night. There were a lot of players in joint trials and the data was huge and scary. But Henson still remembered many key points with his unforgettable memory. He believes that even if they work with the coach on the scene tomorrow, O’Brien and Posey will not be able to single out him.

While observing the information in his hands, Henson is also screening based on the data. He divided all the rookie materials into two piles. The first pile is the rookies that you need to focus on, while the second pile is basically the rookies that Henson didn’t look at.

In addition to DeRozan, Holiday, Gibson and Hansbrough, who had been focused on before, Henson also found several interesting guys in this pile of materials.

Jodie Meeks is predicted to be in the middle of the second round. A top Kentucky student, he averaged 23 points per game in his sophomore year. The most surprising thing was his 117 record-breaking three-pointers in a single season. The reason why he fell to the second round is also very simple. First of all, Meeks is a junior, and secondly, his shooting percentage seems not stable enough. If he participated in the draft as a freshman or sophomore, the overall pick would not be so shabby.

Danny Green, produced by North Carolina. A senior player who can shoot three pointers and defend. But in his sophomore year, Danny Green’s father was involved in a criminal case and went to jail. Danny Green was hit hard and almost retired. If it weren’t for this, Green wouldn’t be just a second-round pick.

The last guy interested in Henson is the American defender Patrick Beverly who returned from Europe. Beverley’s performance at the University of Texas was actually good, but in his junior year, Beverley was suspended from the school for one year for cheating on his thesis. In desperation, Beverly had to leave school to play in Europe, which made everyone confused. Otherwise, the second round will not be Beverly’s attribution.

These guys were all thrown into the key watch list by Henson. If Bird can’t trade a second first-round pick, the team can also use the second-round pick to try their luck. Maybe those guys just now are the gems in the second round of the draft.

After reading the thick information, Henson felt his eyelids were extremely heavy. He didn’t know when he fell asleep, he only knew that he woke up on the table the next day.

Early in the morning on the 5th, Henson set off with the team to the Impact Sports Center in Chicago’s West Side. This year’s joint trial training will be held here. Before the start of the NBA Draft, this was the first reunion of all rookies and the first official contact between the team and the rookies.

The Pacers team consists of five people. In addition to Henson, O’Brien, and Posey, they also include Silas, a video analyst, and Frank Vogel, the only coach in the entire coaching staff who has no match against Henson. What disgusting team coach.

Vogel is a good old man himself, and he understands Henson’s situation well. In order to become a basketball coach, Vogel did everything from picking up face towels to washing clothes. At that time, Vogel often went to the five-star training camp to do chores, trying to try his luck there. Until one day, he met former Celtics coach Rick Pitino. At the time, Jim O’Brien was Pitino’s assistant.

As a coach from the bottom up, and currently the first assistant coach of the Pacers, Vogel knows very well that it is not easy to mix things up in the basketball world. No one can do all the work well as soon as he comes up, so Henson’s previous poor performance in the position of data analyst, Vogel said, understandable. Now, isn’t that Chinese-American doing well in the scout department?

Therefore, at the joint training site, Henson was not left alone. He could talk with Vogel and Silas very well, and O’Brien and Posey could not show Henson for the sake of work and team atmosphere.

“Our goal is Hansbrough. By the way, if you can, we can catch that uCB’s Tay Gibson. I will find out the news and see which teams are interested in these two guys.”

O’Brien planned the focus of today’s work as soon as he arrived. It seems that this guy really needs a reliable insider.

But Henson focused his attention on the guards. In his opinion, the guards in the 2009 draft are all crouching. Although the NBA has always had the tradition of “you don’t know who to choose, then choose inside”, Henson doesn’t believe in these unwritten rules, he only believes in the data in his hands.

Silas carried a camera to shoot training videos of Hansbrough and Gibson, and everyone else also evaluated the two insiders. Henson walked to the other side of the court wearing Pacers uniforms. Over there, the defenders are testing the sprint.

One is because Henson knows everything about Hansbrough and Gibson, and he has been following these two big guys for the past few months. Secondly, Henson still believes that guard players are the best choice for the Pacers in this draft.

Henson recognized Beverly at a glance, because that guy had worked so hard. He is like a mad dog on the court, of course, there is no derogatory meaning in this. What the black defender wants to bite hard is not a bone, but an opportunity!

Later, Henson also discovered Jodie Meeks. Meeks’ athletic ability is indeed relatively mediocre. After all, players with really good physical fitness will not fall into the second round. However, during shooting training, Henson clearly found that Meeks’ shooting was much more stable than before.

It’s not because of Meeks’s high shooting rate, but because even if Meeks hits the iron, the points of the iron are all concentrated in one area, and the basketball will not drift. This is the method Henson uses to judge whether a player’s shooting is sound. After all, when the hand feels good, O’Neal might even be able to score three points. Others judge a player’s shots by scoring, but Henson looks at the iron.

Danny Green, like Henson imagined, he is by no means a star, but he has his own skills and is an excellent functional player. Any team that gets him will be a great help. This kind of puzzle player may not save your team, but it can make your team better.

After watching the performance of these people, Henson nodded in satisfaction. In addition to their good qualities, Henson also used the data analysis module to see their good potential. Beverly’s potential value is A-, Meeks’ potential value is B+, and Danny Green’s potential value is A. Although the “base” of these three people is not very high, even if they have high potential, they cannot become star players, but in the second round of the show, no one has a better potential than them. After all, the second round is not the place to find star players.

After watching it for a while, Henson was ready to return to his team. After all, this operation was led by O’Brien, and Henson did not have much freedom. He can report to Bird if he finds out, but here, he must not go against O’Brien.

As Henson was walking back, he saw a handsome blond man in Timberwolves overalls. It wasn’t that Henson was attracted by this guy’s handsome face, but that Henson had an unpleasant conversation with this guy.

This guy is the arrogant **** who blasted Henson from the first row of seats when Henson was at uCLA!

Henson used the data analysis module to see the other party’s name, Buddy Schiller, like a European name.

“Hey, Schiller, I didn’t expect to see you here!” Henson deliberately went up to say hello to this guy. The other members of the Timberwolves team saw Henson called Le’s name and thought they were acquaintances. Not much to ask.

“You are….. Are you the guy who was at uCLA last time? Unbelievable, you are actually a member of the Pacers!” Schiller’s eyes widened, the Chinese who dressed like a tramp. It doesn’t look like a basketball guy.

“Hahahaha, I’m so embarrassed, I sat in your seat last time.” Henson patted Schiller on the shoulder, and the blond handsome guy instantly became proud again. He thought Henson really came to apologize.

“I have just entered this circle and I have heard of your name a long time ago. I know that it is very important to do our business. So, accept my apology, let’s hand it to a friend?” Henson said, using admiration His eyes stretched out his hand.

Schiller was secretly refreshed, as a little scout, he had a day of admiration.

“You have the fifth and sixth picks this year. I really envy you. After picking Ricky Rubio with the fifth pick, how do you plan to use the sixth pick?” Henson said to this draft. His research is still very thorough, and he has begun to talk about the other party.

“Still looking for it, after all, we have too many choices. Jonny Flynn and Jue Holiday and Stephen Curry are all on our watch list. I heard that you locked Hansbrough Hahahaha, too, after all, there is no good choice for the 13th overall pick.” Schiller showed off, knowing how embarrassing the Pacers’ 13th overall pick is. In this matter, this arrogant fellow has the capital to show off again.

Seeing Schiller’s triumphant face, Henson couldn’t help cursing in his heart: This silly X! You didn’t fight for the draft pick, so shit.

“We are still looking for it, you know, the 13th overall pick is a bit embarrassing. At the moment we have also locked Jonny Flynn, I hope he can fall to the 13th overall. Okay, I think I have to go. , Otherwise it’s time to be scolded again.” Henson finished speaking, smiled at Schiller, and ran all the way to his team.

Schiller showed white teeth, Jonny Flynn? Thank you for being an idiot, Henson.

And Henson also smirked on the side, that silly X Schiller, he shouldn’t expose the current situation of his team. He can say he doesn’t know, but he can’t say who the team is looking for. Because of this, the Pacers have the initiative to operate.

As for Jonny Flynn, the point guard with only C potential is a name that Henson deliberately leaked. He has a plan in his heart, and I believe Bird will like it after listening to it.
