The Pope of Basketball Community

Yang Rui stayed in San Francisco and made an agreement with manager Glenn Gruward not to participate in the draft this time.

The Raptors have two draft picks, both of which are relatively low, but Yang Rui is confident that they will pick a strong man.

With Reed and Kirilenko on the team, there are too many potential rookies to cultivate, so Yang Rui only plans to select an offensive player and fill the vacancies in other positions with veterans in the free market.

The Raptors and Spurs have the same record. Due to the relationship between the two sides in the regular season, they were ranked 27th ahead of the Spurs in the draft. This immediately became very interesting, because Yang Rui found that the Raptors could intercept the "French sports car" Tony Parker.

There are only three names on Yang Rui's list for Glenn. Tony Parker, who is 188cm tall and weighs 84kg, is a powerful point guard with high football intelligence and selflessness.

Gilbert Arenas, who is 191cm tall and weighs 87 kilograms, will be nicknamed "The General" by future generations. He is strong and difficult for ordinary point guards to stop when he rushes forward. Therefore, he is good at breaking through and drawing fouls. With his excellent shooting, he has the potential to become a top scorer. However, Yang Rui only regarded him as a backup, because Arenas likes to fight and is still a cancer in the locker room.

If he enters the round, Arenas can sign a four-year rookie contract, and there will be no "Arenas clause" in the future.

The second round selection was center Jalen Collins, a blue-collar meat shield. Yang Rui can't remember the exact pick, but it was very late. He can replace veteran Willis, of course, to deal with O'Neal next season.

There is also Jason Collins among the rookies. The two are brothers. They are both dark and tough players who falsely report their height and lack scoring ability. Jason is doing better. He has played for the Nets for two years and has reached the finals. The two have the same style.

Yang Rui has never worried about making mistakes in the draft. What he is worried about now is whether he can lead the team to defeat this abnormally enhanced version of the Raptors when he goes to another team after his contract with the Raptors expires in 2002. Even without him, the Raptors are still a super strong team with their lineup depth.

For him, breaking up the "GDP combination" is not a problem. He knows that the Spurs will be very strong when they select Parker.

They are important competitors in the future, and now they have the opportunity to cause some trouble for them, why not?

Yang Rui is not that kind of sb literary youth who won't think about historical inertia pretentiously. Now that he is reborn, the direction of history can be determined by him. This is talent!

On June 27, Yang Rui watched the draft on TV.

He suspected that the draft lottery was manipulated by the league. Apart from the Bulls' excellent record and low ranking, the top picks in this draft were not much different from his previous life.

In his previous life, the Wizards had a better record than the Bulls, and they were lucky enough to get the No. 1 pick. This time, the Wizards had the worst record, and they got the No. 1 pick more easily.

Maybe David Stern knew that Jordan was preparing to come back with the Wizards, and deliberately sent the Wizards a No. 1 pick to assist Jordan. Once the game was over, it would be a good story.

The result was the same as Yang Rui's previous life. Jordan selected Kwame Brown as the top pick. He thus became the first high school student champion in NBA history.

As the best high school student in the United States, Brown attracted Jordan's attention with his extremely outstanding physical talent. In high school, Brown averaged 5.8 blocks per game. His excellent defensive awareness made people look forward to his career.

The Clippers selected center Tyson Chandler, who has strong physical fitness and is known as a spring man seen once in twenty years.

The Grizzlies selected Spaniard Pau Gasol. He is the strongest inside player, has very comprehensive skills, and can be used both inside and outside. He was selected third overall because many teams do not want to see foreign players.

The Warriors, with the worst record in the Western Conference, were only ranked fourth. They selected swingman Jason Richardson, who has top physical fitness, is a top dunker, and can also shoot from long range.

The Hawks had the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference and ranked fifth in the draft. The management was very depressed and traded the pick to the Grizzlies. They drafted swingman Shane Battier.

The Nets selected Eddie Curry, nicknamed "Baby Shark", and history changed. Because the Rockets were interested in Eddie Griffin, Yang Rui sent out Richard Jefferson for him in his previous life. Now that Griffin has not gone to the Nets, Jefferson has no chance to play alongside Kidd.

Coupled with last year's No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin, the Nets' inside lineup is already not weak. Curry's condition began to decline only after Curry became fat in the later period, and his early strength is good.

The Rockets selected Eddie Griffin with the seventh pick, the lunatic who wanted to give Yao Ming a prostitute in the hotel. He drank and made trouble, wasted his talent, and eventually died in a car accident at a young age.

With the eighth pick, the Cavaliers selected blue-collar center Diop...

There are not many capable players behind him. The Celtics selected Joe Johnson with the 10th overall pick. If he stays, it will be a great signing.

Richard Jefferson was selected by the Magic. The Magic did not have a top scorer. Yang Rui felt that he might have a brighter future and be able to obtain franchises.

At No. 27, it was finally the Raptors' turn and they successfully selected point guard Tony Parker.

When he first entered the league, Parker was not favored by the public, but this did not include Spurs head coach Vicky. In order to select Parker in the first round, he even released smoke bombs in interviews before the game, belittling Parker.

After watching Parker train at a draft training camp in Chicago, Veach didn't take long to make an evaluation of Parker. He said: "I think Parker is too soft and you absolutely cannot draft him. He cannot adapt to the NBA level."

Parker fell out of the draft, and Vicki was only one step away from heaven, but was kicked by the Raptors.

Veach had no choice. He selected point guard Jamal Tinsley with the 28th pick, and then called Glenn to seek a trade. Glenn refused because Parker was the person Yang Rui wanted.

Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of accomplishment in changing history. He wondered if the Spurs could win the championship in the future.

Tinsley is also very powerful. He is 191cm tall and weighs 88 kilograms. He is very strong and has street ball-style fighting ability.

In his previous life, Tinsley took over the position the following season after joining the Pacers, averaging 3o.5 minutes per game, scoring 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.7 steals. His weakness is shooting, with a shooting percentage of only 38 and a three-point shooting percentage of only 24.

If Tinsley can shoot accurately, he won't fall into this position. It would be a good choice to choose him because he has potential to be tapped.

In the second round, the most valuable Arenas was still selected by the Warriors.

Memet Okur, a meat shield center who can shoot three-pointers, has never been wanted. He was 9 spots lower than Yang Rui in his previous life. He was selected by the Pistons in the second round with the 18th pick. Okur is really not optimistic. Another reason why he is low in the draft is that he cannot directly join the NBA and has a contract in Europe.

The Raptors successfully selected Jalen Collins with the 24th pick in the second round. He had a ten-year NBA career, including eight seasons with the Jazz and three seasons played. He couldn't get the ball rolling offensively and performed well defensively.

Yang Rui turned off the TV and was confident about next season. Veteran Kevin Willis was very thin and was not suitable to deal with O'Neal. Now there are four high center forwards and three big meat shield blue collars in the team, who can definitely fight against O'Neal.

Willis will not get a contract extension from the team, and Yang Rui doesn't care where he goes.

The Raptors' interior lineup has been determined, and Parker at position 1 is more than enough to serve as a substitute for Billups. They only need to sign two capable swingmen in the free market in the summer, and the lineup will be complete.
