Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 246 [Accidental Taobao!Great bobcat harvest! 】

The draft continues.

At No. 5, the New York Knicks selected Kevin Love.

It is not surprising that the Knicks choose anyone, because they are short of people at various positions, even the coaches.The Knicks owner couldn't stand Thomas "The Smiling Assassin" any longer.If this went on like this, he felt that he was about to be stimulated to death by the assassin.

At No. 6, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Joe Alexander.

"Chuck, what do you think of this man?" Jordan looked at Alexander on the stage and asked with a smile.

"It sucks. It was a mistake to be selected in the first round. Even if he went to the Bobcats in the second round, he would only be cut. The Bucks are a waste of draft picks." Hayes laughed.

Alexander is the most overrated rookie in this class.In Hayes' previous life, Alexander was selected by the Bucks at No. 8. After two seasons, he became out of the ball to play, and was removed from the Bucks, Bulls, and Hornets.In the end, he was waived by the Hornets and bid farewell to the NBA.It is surprising that the Bucks value Alexander so much.

The Houston Rockets, the worst championship team in history, held the 7th pick. Oden came back, and the Rockets had a reliance on the inside. The only point guard was Steve Blake, who lacked offensive power.Fat Morey selected the offensive combo guard Jerry Bayless.

Morey was very happy, feeling that choosing Bayless, who was predicted to be ranked No. 4, was a big deal.When Bayless reaches the Rockets with McGrady, God knows how many shots he can get, and whether he can become another Arenas.

"Bayless actually fell to No. 7. There are a lot of upsets in this year's draft." Jordan is still very happy to change Bayless.

"Yeah." Hayes laughed.What surprised him is how no team has selected Westbrook so far.If Westbrook drops to No. 14, the Bobcats will consider this guy.Although he likes to shoot wildly, he is also a player with good ability. The template is Monta Ellis.This season, Ellis averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the Warriors, and his shooting percentage was as high as 53%.

The Wizards selected Eric Gordon at No. 8.Gordon is a shooting guard with a height of only 190cm. He is good at grabbing points, and his characteristic is that he only has the basket in his eyes.Compared with him, the Bucks' "Everything" is simply Kidd...

At No. 9, the Bulls chose Westbrook.The Bulls want a combo guard, and without Rose, Westbrook looks like a replacement.

The 10th Nets chose Gallinari.The Italian was picked at this pick exactly as predicted.The 11th Pacers selected Brandon Rush.The 12th king chose Jason Thompson.The Grizzlies, lacking a point guard at No. 13, selected DJ Augustin.

The 14th place is finally the Blazers' turn.

This sign was to be traded to the Bobcats, and at the behest of Higgins, the Blazers chose Roy Hibbert.Although Hibbert's predicted pick is relatively late, outside the lottery zone, he is a rare big insider.The Blazers are also interested in Hibbert, a little bit reluctant.

15位76人选中安东尼-兰多夫。16位猛龙选中罗宾-洛佩兹。17位凯尔特人选中马利斯-斯贝茨。18位活塞选中贾维尔-麦基。19位骑士选中JJ-西克森。海耶斯一直关注着，虽然新秀去处有所改变，但是顺位上变化并不大。

The 20th place is the pick that the Bobcats traded from the Suns.Since they already have a trading plan with the Blazers, the Bobcats no longer consider the French teenager Batum; Courtney Lee's style is very similar to Azubuike, and there is no need to trade.So the Bobcats chose underrated guard George Hill.

Before the Bobcats manager Higgins proposed a 3-year 1500 million contract renewal for Calderon, but Calderon was not satisfied with this offer, and was ready to test the free market as a restricted free agent with Biedrins.Calderon performed well last season, there must be a team to poach the wall, and it is not easy to keep Calderon, so the Bobcats chose George Hill as a "spare tire."

To give a more vivid example, in Hayes' previous life, in 2009, after the Portland Trail Blazers failed to chase Turkoglu, they offered Millsap, a restricted free agent of the Utah Jazz, a four-year, 4 million contract. Contract, then the Jazz chose to follow up the offer, and Millsap stayed with the Jazz.It was because the Jazz failed to negotiate a contract extension with Millsap at the beginning, which gave the Blazers an opportunity. It was not until they found out that they were going to be poached that the Jazz boss raised the price.

Millsap chose to jump out of the contract just to see his market value.In this way, you can increase your own price tag, and secondly, you can continue to stay on the basis of being inclined to stay in the team.Most players who don't want to leave but want to raise their salary do this. Thirdly, they can discover their own value and prepare for whether to leave or stay in the future.

If other teams offer big contracts to Calderon, the Bobcats can choose to follow up, otherwise Calderon may transfer.

21位掘金选了高中锋阿金萨。小牛为了得到基德，将22位选秀权交易给了篮网，网队选了会投三分的大前锋莱恩-安德森。23位魔术选择库特尼李。24位爵士选了中锋科斯塔-库弗斯。为了得到加索尔，湖人把25位选秀权交易给了灰熊。灰熊选择了法国小将巴图姆。26位马刺选了刚果球员伊巴卡。27位黄蜂选了达雷尔-亚瑟。28位是森林狼选了东特-格林。

29th place, it's Bobcats' turn to choose again.

Dong Te - Green was selected away, disrupting the Bobcats' original plan.Hayes remembered that Green would play well in the summer league, and wanted to be selected and traded after the summer league like Brooks last season, but it was a pity that the Timberwolves got ahead of him.Now the Bobcats are in an embarrassing situation, and there are no good rookies left.If anyone is the most worthy of selection, it is DeAndre Jordan who fell from the lottery to the 29th pick!

With DeAndre Jordan, the bet between Hayes and Michael Jordan is lost...

Michael Jordan didn't expect DeAndre Jordan to fall to this position and it was almost forgotten.At the 20th place, Jordan proposed to choose DeAndre and give up George Hill, who probably has no place in the Bobcats.Hayes insisted that DeAndre's draft will drop.

Now Michael Jordan, D'Antoni, and Higgins looked at Hayes together, as if asking, "What are we waiting for?"

Hayes sighed, he didn't think well before making the bet. "Michael, you won the bet. Picking DeAndre with the 29th pick is the best deal."

Jordan laughed.I feel like I found a baby!

At this time, DeAndre Jordan, who was once considered to be "Little Howard" and "Little Bynum", was sitting anxiously on the seat, pressing his hands on his thighs, scratching his trouser legs with sweat... and With two picks, he's about to fall out of the first round.The Bobcats have selected two inside players before, and it is unlikely to choose him; the Hawks have Yao Ming in the 30th place, and it seems impossible to want him.

Am I going to fall to the second round?Am I going to set a record, the person who sat in the small green room for the longest time in NBA history?Seeing other inside players being drafted away one by one, DeAndre's heart was bleeding.He didn't understand why such bad luck happened to him.

The previous record holder belonged to Rashard Lewis, who waited until the 1998nd pick in 32.DeAndre really didn't want to break the damn record.

At this time, Stern announced: "The Bobcats selected DeAndre Jordan with the 29th overall pick."

DeAndre stood up like an electric shock.Lynx?Is it actually a bobcat?Even as a substitute, he also hopes to join the Bobcats. It is a happy thing to be able to play next to the league MVP.

However, it is not easy for DeAndre to stay, and the inside line of the Bobcats suddenly became bloated.Fortunately, the inside players in the league are scarce, and it is easy to find teams to trade. Otherwise, how to deal with so many people is really a problem.Bobcats center has reached 5 people.This is not counting Bargnani and Hayes who can play center.

With the 30th pick in the first round, the Hawks selected point guard Mario Chalmers.

Then began the under-the-radar second-round picks.The Bobcats' second-round pick was the 59th pick, and no one wanted to trade it out, so they had to keep it in their hands in the end.Hayes didn't have much hope for this pick, and everyone who was a little bit useful was picked away.Such as Mbah a Moute, Roberts, Dragic...

There was only one name that Hayes cared about—Anthony Morrow!Until the 57th place in the second round, he was not selected yet.In his memory, there was a great man in the Warriors called this.

But Hayes wasn't sure. He remembered that Morrow was very strong, suitable for fast breaks, and his shots were very accurate.Why hasn't he been selected in the second round yet?He was a little skeptical, maybe this wasn't the guy from the Warriors, just the same name?

In fact, Anthony Morrow, like Hayes, was an undrafted rookie.He signed with the Golden State Warriors as a free agent on July 2008, 7.

2008-2009赛季，安东尼-莫罗为勇士队出场67次(17场首发)，场均获得 10.1分, 3.0篮板和1.2助攻。场均出场时间为22.6分钟。在首发的17场比赛中获得16.6分和4.6篮板，出场时间为34.9分钟。最恐怖的是，莫罗单赛季的三分球命中率达到46.7% (184投86中)，成为首位在这项数据上领衔全联盟的新秀，而这也是勇士队历史上第一次有球员达到这一成就。

2009-2010赛季，安东尼-莫罗出场69场(35场首发)，各项数据均有提升，场均出场29.2分钟，获得13.0分3.8篮板和1.5个助攻。在首发出场的35场比赛中场均贡献14.3分4.4篮板2.0助攻和 1.17 次抢断。以45.6%的三分球命中率排名NBA三分命中率第5。

It is no exaggeration to say that Morrow is the most underrated super pitcher in this draft!As a draft pick that no one wanted, Morrow did have a situation of being underappreciated.His potential is limited, and it is difficult to go further when he lacks physical confrontation ability and experience.But as the next "nervous knife" player, Morrow still has a bright future.Especially in the Bobcats team that lacks shooters, he has a lot to do!

At the 59th pick in the second round, the Bobcats chose Anthony Morrow with the mentality of "trying it out". If it doesn't work, the big deal is not to sign.No one on the Bobcats knows what they picked up in the second round.
