The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 541 [2 defenders, national father-in-law]

The Jazz selected David Lee in the second round to continue to strengthen the inside depth and got a big deal.

With the addition of role players Gordon Kirisek, Matt Halprin and others, the team is not weak. And Sloan selected players who are suitable for pick-and-roll situations.

The Bobcats' second-round pick was traded to the Clippers. The Clippers selected a point guard named Daniel Ewing. Yang Rui had no impression at all. In the second round, the Clippers selected a small forward named Yaroslav Korolev. Yang Rui has never heard of it. This is very Baylor...

With the third pick, the Lakers selected combo guard Monta Ellis, who is 191cm tall and weighs 84kg.

In four years of high school, Ellis averaged 28.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 3.1 steals per game, shooting 46.1% from the field, 43.5% from three-point range, and 78% from the free throw line. In his final year of high school, Ellis averaged 38.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 4.5 steals per game, shooting 46% from the field and 48% from three-point range. He was elected Mississippi Mr. Basketball.

There are several reasons why his statistics are so eye-catching and he fell to the second round. First, he is a high school student and is too young. Secondly, he focuses on scoring and lacks organizational skills as a point guard. The worst thing is that his character has been questioned. His academic performance was so bad that he didn't have enough credits to go to college and it was difficult to get a chance to play, so he skipped the college stage and directly participated in this draft.

Yang Rui knows the characteristics of Ellis very well. He is very fast and can perform as long as he is running and gunning. He is more than enough to be a substitute. Other teams are unwilling to bet on his talent, but Yang Rui is willing. The Lakers don't need Ellis' organization.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Ellis was selected by the Warriors and became the most improved player in the 2006-207 season. He served as the boss of the Warriors and averaged 25.5 points, 4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game at his peak. However, the backcourt composed of him and Curry The two-gun defense was a mess and it was difficult to win, so they were traded.

Ellis' career-high single-game score is 48 points. If he could be more accurate in three-pointers, he would definitely not have only this score.

What makes Yang Rui more troublesome is Ellis's character. If he is not given the ball, it will be wasted. If he is given the ball, it will easily swell.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Ellis made a famous statement in 2010.

When a reporter asked him which three people he thought were the three best players in the NBA, he said: "I think LeBron James can be ranked third. He can pass, score, defend, and block shots. Second, I I think it should be me. I can do everything on the court. I can defend, score, pass the ball, and everything else that needs to be done. As for number one, I would say it is Kobe. If I am one-on-one with Kobe , I don’t think anyone can beat him. He has a lot of unique skills, his defense is great, and of course, he has won 4 championships.”

As a fan of Kobe Bryant, he did not have a beautiful life, but suffered from a beautiful disease.

The Hawks traded for a second-round pick and selected Brandon Bass, a valuable power forward. Yang Rui thinks this is more reliable than the Hawks selecting Marvin Williams with the third overall pick. Bass has accurate mid-range jump shots and strong confrontation ability. Although his height suffers in the interior, he can at least resist people.

This is a good role player. The Hawks have been trying to play small ball tactics in the past two years. Buss can even serve as a center forward.

The Hawks' weakness is also very obvious. Their point guard is Tyronn Lue, who was only a marginal player in the Wizards back then. Larry Hughes put up good numbers last season and is the No. 2 player.

If the Hawks can still poach Joe Johnson in the summer like Yang Rui did in his previous life, they are likely to rise in the new season, because the team also has two power forwards, Al Harrington and Josh Smith, and the lineup is quite deep.

If Yang Rui is allowed to build the team, he will send Harrington, who played 17.6 points, 7 rebounds and 3.2 assists last season, and replace him with a reliable point guard. The Hawks will have the possibility of competing for the championship in the future.

Harrington is a power forward who relies on shooting and has poor rebounding ability. Last season was the peak of his career. If the Eagles don't trade this year, it will only depreciate in value in the future, and it will also affect the training of potential newcomers.

The Hornets drafted Turiaf;

It's pretty reliable.

The Bucks drafted Turkish forward Eisen Ilyasova.

There are really many strong players in the second round of this draft. Ilyasova is a space-based power forward. In Yang Rui’s previous life, he had a peak of 13 points and 8.8 rebounds, shooting 49.2% from the field and 45.5% from three-point range. With the Bucks Signed a high-paying long-term contract.

With the ninth pick in the second round, the Lakers selected another point guard, Lou Williams, who is 185cm tall and weighs 79kg.

Lewis is also a high school player. His characteristics are very similar to Ellis. He is poor in confrontation, fast and has strong scoring ability. His high school peak was 32.5 points, 6 rebounds and 4.1 assists. He won the title of Mr. Basketball in Georgia for two consecutive years.

He fell to this pick because he plays like a shooting guard and is not good at organizing. Scouts from all teams are not optimistic about him. In recent years, Iverson-type guards have become less and less popular, and their draft picks are not high.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Lewis was not selected by the 76ers until the 15th pick. Because the genuine Iverson was there, the coaching staff wanted to find someone with a similar style to play as a substitute.

Williams played 8o games with the Raptors in the 14-15 season, averaging only 25.2 minutes per game, scoring 15.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals. He was elected the Sixth Man of the Year that season.

Due to poor confrontation, Williams has basically been playing as a substitute. His defense is average and he cannot defend the No. 2 position. His offensive efficiency has always been very high. In the 2o16-17 season, he played 58 games for the Lakers, playing only 24.2 minutes, scoring 18.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals. His presence once affected the Lakers' performance, so he was sent to the Rockets in the mid-term.

Williams can play the role of a bench gangster on any team. Even if his three-point ability was average in the first few seasons of his career, his speed was enough for him to successfully break through and hit the basket during counterattacks.

The Lakers management is not optimistic about these two people, but Yang Rui named them for selection, so Kupchak did so, which is very embarrassing.

At this time, the two young defenders watching the live broadcast at home began to open champagne to celebrate. They were not invited to the "Green Room" and were not eligible to go to the draft. Otherwise, they would definitely thank the Lakers management and coaching staff during their speeches, indicating that they would sacrifice their lives and blood to defend the team's title next season.

Like many rookies, the team they most want to join is the Lakers.

Now people have a consensus that it is not terrible for a rookie to fall into the second round. It is okay to lose the draft. As long as Yang Rui takes a fancy to him, he may become a star. Even if you can't become an All-Star, you can still use your strengths and get enough performance opportunities to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Next season, the Lakers' interior depth will still be the strongest in the league, and their outside attack power has also improved. Even if they send fringe players in garbage time, they can counterattack quickly. This lineup was unprecedented in Yang Rui's previous life and has never been more powerful than anyone since. Even compared with this team, the Raptors in the 1999-2000 season were worse because the Raptors had too many newcomers at the time.

Yang Rui believes that the Lakers will definitely get the best record in the regular season.

As long as there are no serious injuries in the team and other teams do not have big-name stars forming a team at the top, no team can prevent the Lakers from successfully defending their title next season. It is entirely possible for them to surpass the Raptors' 74 wins, but I don't know if the league will still Will Yang Rui be elected as the best coach again?

Every time Yang Rui is elected in the future, he will refresh his personal and historical records, leaving others behind.

If the Lakers achieve the best record in NBA regular season history next season, who will give the best coach award if not him?

He is as dazzling and outstanding as Ah's father-in-law. He has a sharp eye and can see Ah Qu and Hui Xianxu with his own eyes. Winning the award is what everyone expects.
