Chapter 540 [The rising team is filled with gold]

The Trail Blazers selected swingman Martel Webster with the 7th overall pick. He is 2o1cm tall and weighs 1o7kg. He is physically strong, but his offense relies on shooting from the outside. Webster's rebounding ability is poor, and there is no possibility of switching to the 4th position. Becoming an excellent role player is his limit.

The Knicks selected Andrew Bynum with the 8th overall pick. This is what "Zen Master" Phil Jackson meant. Before the draft started, he joined the Knicks as the head coach with a five-year long-term contract with a high salary of 5,000,000, and successfully squeezed out "Assassin" Thomas.

In Jackson's view, "Baby Shark" has the potential to become a star center. He was born on October 27, 1987, and is not yet 18 years old. He is 213cm tall and weighs 129kg. He averaged 22 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks per game when he played for St. Joseph High School.

Bynum likes physical contact under the basket and has a tough style. He is a traditional center prospect. He has certain offensive skills under the basket and a soft shooting touch. He knows how to use his generous body to create offensive space. No one in high school can challenge him to guard the position. restricted area.

However, his lateral mobility is average, his agility around the basket is far behind Eddie Curri's at the same age, and he has not shown extraordinary passing talent.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Bynum had never been privileged on the offensive end with the Lakers. At his peak, he scored 18.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.9 blocks. He was selected to the All-Star and the All-NBA Second Team.

Jackson was preparing to trade Ben Wallace at this time, and looked down upon people like Ben who couldn't attack.

The Magic selected Channing Frye with the ninth pick. This is a relatively thin inside man who is good at shooting. He has played in college for four years and has good immediate combat ability, but he has little potential.

Frye's characteristics are very suitable for partnering with "Warcraft" Howard. The team does not need him to guard the penalty area, block shots, and grab rebounds. It needs the power forward to pull out and shoot. The two complement each other.

The Magic are not weak now, with Jamal Nelson, Richard Jefferson, Hedo Turkoglu, Frye and Howard. The substitutes include Tony Barty and Chucky Atkins. As long as the players are not injured next season, they will definitely make the playoffs.

In this life, McGrady did not join the Magic, allowing the team to have sufficient salary space, and did not exchange two garbage contracts for Francis and Cato from the Rockets. If the Magic can trade another star, Howard will be the favorite to win the championship when he reaches his peak.

Ike Diogu was selected at No. 10.

This is a strong power forward, 2o3cm tall and weighing 113kg. In Yang Rui's previous life, Chinese fans were very familiar with him because he joined the CBA Guangdong Hongyuan team and was the right-hand man inside the Arab League and an important contributor to Guangdong's return to the championship.

Diogu has also made a name for himself in the NBA. Although his career statistics are only 6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.3 assists, on March 15, 2006, during the Pacers' game against the Warriors, Diogu cheated. Really cheating.

Diogu came on as a substitute in the second quarter and scored 12 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists in a single quarter, setting a historic record for a near-triple-double by a substitute player in a single quarter. God had left a minute earlier, otherwise he would have had a triple-double.

Several potential players still fell behind. The Bobcats traded for a high draft pick and signed power forward Sean May, who had serious injury risks.

Sean May is the most famous player among the "Four North Carolina Boys" in the 2005 nBa draft round. In the 2005 NCAA Finals, he faced the University of Illinois led by Deron Williams, Luther Head and Dee Brown. He made 10 of 11 shots and scored 26 points and 10 rebounds, leading the University of North Carolina to regain the NCAA title after 11 years. Championship, selected for the semi-finals MOP.

If not for frequent injuries, Sean May would have been a star in the NBA.

Forward Danny Granger was still selected by the Pacers with the 16th pick. He would be selected as an All-Star in the future. At his peak, he averaged 25.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. He was also ruined by injuries.

Many players joined the same team as Yang Rui in his previous life.

The only difference is the order. This is all decided by the scouts during training camp.

The biggest variable is that the Knicks did not select white insider David Lee at No. 30, but used the Lakers' pick to select swingman C.J. Miles, probably to make up for the vacancy at No. 2 left by Sprewell.

The Knicks will definitely not renew the contract with "Madman". He is already 34 years old and his condition has seriously declined. Although he has not shouted the classic statement "No 1,000,000 is not enough to support a family", the Knicks management feels that he is no longer useful. .

Jackson's vision is not particularly accurate. The potential of cJ Miles is incomparable to David Lee. Seeing this, Yang Rui was wondering whether to call Kupchak at the scene and find a way to select David Lee.

In Yang Rui's previous life, David Lee was the biggest surprise in the Knicks' draft. He was a double-double machine, twice selected to the All-Star Game, won the Rookie Challenge mVp, and also won the championship with the Warriors in 2015.

His offensive skills are extremely gorgeous, he can shoot with both hands, has excellent footsteps, flexible ball control, and excellent passing vision. He is a player with no blind spots in offensive skills. But on the defensive end, David Lee is a famous colander, and his only positive role may be to grab rebounds.

Yang Rui thought about it for a while, but still didn't make the call. According to the original plan, he planned to choose two defenders.

Although this bargain is for free, the Lakers' inside lineup is too strong. As long as Yao Ming, Rasheed, and Odom don't break up, the inside players they choose can only be used as substitutes.

Moreover, Diaw can also play power forward, which is better than playing small forward. No matter who comes inside, he will end up being a marginal player.

Next season, the Lakers' goal is to successfully defend the championship, that is, combat strength is more important. If Odom insists on leaving in the summer, he can also replace him with a strong man. No matter what, it will not be the turn of the new insider to take the lead.

Even if David Lee falls to the second round, he will be ranked higher in the draft, and there are people who are more cost-effective than him. In Yang Rui's previous life, "Polish Hammer" Maxin Gortat was selected 27th in the second round.

Gortat peaked at 15.4 points and 10 rebounds. In the 2o16-17 season, he also averaged a double-double with the Wizards, averaging 10.8 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He has a balance of offense and defense, and his strength is not much worse than David Lee.

Yang Ruiken asked Kupchak to trade the first-round pick because he felt that the second round was also full of gold.

Before the conference started, Yang Rui asked Kupchak to trade three-point power forward Brian Cook to the Magic in exchange for the ninth pick in the second round. Cook's defense is terrible. He is physically strong but unwilling to fight. No matter how accurate his shooting is, he has no future.

In addition, the Lakers also have the Hawks' No. 3 pick in the second round, which was acquired by Devin George when he traded for Diaw. The Lakers' own late pick was traded to the Pistons.

Yang Rui feels that there are too many newcomers to train, and there is no shortage of strong players both inside and outside. In the summer, it is enough to properly repair the lineup. If he were to choose, he could still pick up Chuck Hayes at position 6o. It would be useful as a blue-collar insider, but it wouldn't make much sense.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Lakers also made two second-round picks this year, choosing Turiaf and Vaughn Weaver. Neither of them are stars, they just played in the NBA for many seasons and left their own footprints.

Now that Yang Rui has the memory of rebirth, he can certainly choose someone more reliable. Last season, the Lakers' counterattack was not strong enough. Mo Williams, the fastest player, had the greatest specialty in shooting. Therefore, Yang Rui must improve his performance and strive to play a stronger offense next season, averaging more than 120 points per game.

He wants to prove to everyone that the Lakers were not at their peak last season and they still have room for improvement and can attract more fans!

At this time, the Jazz selected David Lee in the second round...
