Chapter 487 The 16th Year Draft
With the NBA finals coming to an end, many basketball fans have turned their attention to international competitions. Although there is still more than a month before the Olympic Games, this does not prevent the various national teams from starting to prepare nervously, especially those who want to compete. In the winning national team - the United States, Spain and Argentina.

As a relatively famous warm-up match before the opening of the Olympic Games, the Stankovic Cup will naturally attract the attention of many people, especially those fans who like Ye Xuan, and they started to book tickets early, this time There are not many teams participating in the Sis Cup, not as grand as the one before 08, but they also invited the strong European team France, the South American champion Argentina and the African champion Nigeria. The Chinese team, the Asian champion, has fewer teams participating in the Sri Lanka Cup this time, but from this point of view, they are all elites.

However, it is a pity that neither the French team nor the Argentine team is the strongest lineup. Although the French team has Batum, Fournier and Gobert, but the well-known small sports car Parker, the duck-voiced Noah , Turiaf, and Ye Xuan's former teammate Mahinmi did not return to the team, so the French team that came to China to compete is actually a second team.

The personnel of the Argentine team is even more uneven. Scola and Ginobili are old and have withdrawn from the national team. The current Argentine national team is composed of players who have worked hard in the South American league. There are not many NBA players. The only NBA player is Delfino, but Delfino is obviously the kind of player who doesn't play very well in the NBA.

As for the Chinese team, because the overall age is still relatively young, it is basically considered that all members participated in the competition. After all, the oldest members of the team are Yi Jianlian born in 87 and Li Gen born in 88. Even Ye Xuan, who was in the team in 94, is not considered a young man. Zhao Yanhao, who was in 97, Zhao Jiwei, who was in 95, and Zhou Qi, who was in 96, so the Chinese team's lineup is actually selected at the very beginning. They were planning to train, but with the addition of Ye Xuan, a powerful backcourt, the overall strength of the team has been improved. This is why the national team suddenly changed from the original slogan of keeping eight to three.

However, after the NBA Finals and before the start of the Stankovic Cup, there is another major event related to the Chinese team, and that is the NBA Draft.The Lakers team where Ye Xuan belongs to has nothing to choose. After all, the first-round pick has been traded to the Magic, and the Magic finally got a fourth pick, although it is far from the top three picks they imagined. A little bit, but it's still ok.

The reason why this matter has something to do with the Chinese team is because two Chinese participated in the draft this time, they are Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin.In the final result, Zhou Qi was selected by the Rockets with the 43rd overall pick, while Wang Zhelin was selected by the Grizzlies with the 57th overall pick. Although he was selected in the second round, the media are generally more optimistic. Zhou Qi's prospects, after all, the Rockets still have a strong China complex, and Howard has already announced that he will start looking for another home after the Rockets were eliminated. He didn't consider staying in the Rockets at all, but directly chose Jumping out of the contract and looking for a next home, so the emptiness of the Rockets' inside line may allow Zhou Qi to find some opportunities.

As for the other picks, first of all, it is naturally the 76ers who won the No. 76 pick. The 10ers have been rebuilt for almost [-] years, and they are still heading for the No. [-] pick every year. I don’t know if it’s them. The boss rebuild is addicted.However, their choice this time is still very wise, and they directly won Ben Simmons, who performed very well in college and has always occupied the top position of the prediction list from the beginning.

Ben Simmons started playing official games at the age of 7. In addition to basketball, he is also a member of the rugby team and is an amphibious athlete. At 14, Simmons decided to stop playing football and focus on basketball instead. In 2013, Ben Simmons studied at Montverde College in the United States. In the 2013-14 season, Ben Simmons averaged 18.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 69%. He led the team to win the high school national championship with a record of 28 wins and 0 losses. Scored 24 points and 12 rebounds and was elected MVP. In the 2014-15 season, Ben Simmons averaged 28 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.6 steals per game. He led the team to win the national championship again with a record of 28 wins and 1 loss. The best high school student, was selected as the first team of the 2015 All-American High School Team of the Year, and participated in the 2015 McDonald's High School All-Star Game.

Ben Simmons entered Louisiana State University in 2015. In the 2015-16 season, he averaged 34.9 minutes per game, scored 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists, and shot 56% from the field. The best player, the best rookie of the year in the United States, the best rookie in the southeastern region, and was selected as the first team of the best college basketball team in the United States and the first team of the best team in the southeast region.

The winner of the No. 2015 pick is the Suns. They used this pick to select Brandon Ingram, who is also at the small forward position.In fact, Ingram was always the No. 2016 favorite before Simmons entered the election, but compared to Simmons' dominance on the field, Ingram is still slightly worse. In 2, Brandon Ingram entered Duke University and represented Duke University in college basketball. On February 18, 74, in Duke University's 73-40 victory over the University of North Carolina, Ingram played 20 minutes and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1996 assists, becoming the first player in Duke University history since 20. He is the first player to score 10 points and [-] rebounds against North Carolina for the first time.

On March 2016, 3, in Duke University's game against Yale University, Brandon Ingram scored 21 points to help Duke beat his opponent 25-71 and advance to the top 64 of the NCAA Tournament. In the 16-2015 season, Ingram played 16 games on behalf of Duke University, averaging 36 minutes per game, scoring 34.6 points, 17.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.4 steals. Best rookie, selected to the NBA All-American Freshman Team and the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Second Team.From the data point of view, Ingram is indeed worse than Simmons, and Simmons is still a foreigner. Although Australia has a small population, the Australian champion can drive the economy to some extent (manual squint) .

And the third-ranked show was taken by the lucky Celtics. You ask, aren't the Celtics still playing in the playoffs?How did you get the second pick?Then I need to thank the Nets for their selfless dedication. Not only is this season's first-round pick, but the Nets won't even get the first-round pick for next season. Next season?It seems that it is still owned by the Celtics, so the Nets are now a fighter in a bad team, and they are so bad.

How much infamy Ainge endured when he traded the championship hero Kevin Garnett and his heroic captain Pierce, and now he has proved his vision in this transaction. The proud Danny Ainge used this pick He selected Jaylen Brown, who he is more optimistic about, a graduate of Joseph Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia.In his senior year of high school, Brown helped the team win the Georgia Championship.He has since competed in the 2015 Nike Summit and McDonald's All-American Game.Jaylen Brown played 16.1 minutes, 8 points, 2 rebounds in the Nike Summit game; Jaylen Brown played 21 minutes, 9 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the McDonald's All-American Game .He has since entered the University of California, Berkeley. In the 2015-16 season, he played 34 times for the team, averaging 27.6 minutes per game, scoring 14.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists, shooting 43.1% from the field and 29.4% from the three-point range. Twelve Schools League (Pac-12) All-NBA First Team, elected Pac-[-] Schools League Rookie of the Year.

Although his stats are relatively mediocre compared to the previous two, his characteristics are just right for the Celtics. He has a relatively small forward body, and when he is a shooting guard, he can help their defensive black hole Thomas Jr. A lot of stress.And with a little training, Jaylen Brown has the potential to become the next Gerald Wallace-level defensive leader.

And the fourth pick is the Magic. They won a relatively outstanding insider in this year's draft, Dragan Bender. This insider is very young. On November 1997, 11, Dragan Bender Gan Bender was born in Kaprina, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the 17-2014 season, Dragan Bender played 15 games on behalf of the Maccabi Tel Aviv youth team, averaging 4 points and 23.0 rebounds per game.It is this kind of outstanding performance that makes him one of the few insiders in this draft that is reassuring.

However, the Magic now has Vucevic on the inside, and there is a steel plate like Diamond on the bench. I don't know why they have to choose the next insider to grab the position?Just when everyone was still wondering, the first trade in this draft appeared. The Suns and the Magic made a deal, sending the No. [-] pick Brandon Ingram to the Magic, in exchange for No. [-] pick Dragan Bender, Jason Smith and some cash, it seems that this transaction is actually the Suns using their top pick to rob the Magic once. There is not much room to develop him, after all, the Suns' perimeter lineup is already very luxurious, Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, Devin Booker, Markieff Morris, TJ- Warren, PJ-Tucker, these are players at the shooting guard and small forward positions, so they chose Ingram to actually rob the Magic, and they changed their favorite Dragan Bender. At the same time, he also got an extra small forward and some cash.

The subsequent draft conference was still held. The Timberwolves won the No. 2012 pick for two consecutive years. After getting an excellent insider and an excellent small forward, this time they used their fifth overall pick to find a backcourt. Player, Kris Dunn.Kris Dunn entered Providence College in the United States in [-] and represented Providence College in college basketball.

In the following years, he showed his talent in the basketball field. In the 2014-15 season, Kris Dunn averaged 15.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.7 steals per game, and was elected the Big East Player of the Year. Best player and best defensive player, selected to the All-Big East First Team. In the 2015-16 season, he averaged 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.5 steals per game. He was elected the best player of the year and the best defensive player in the Big East. All-Big East First Team.

His characteristics are very clear, that is, his stealing ability is very outstanding, his speed is also very fast, and his playing is very dynamic. It can be said that Chris Dunn has excellent physical condition and athletic ability, comprehensive skills, and the first step is very fast. , is an excellent singles player. At the same time, he can find open teammates during high-speed advancement, can effectively feed the ball inside, and can also use sudden points to activate outside firepower.Dunn is an excellent defender, rebounding and steals are his strengths.

And why did Dunn fall to the fifth overall pick with such a good evaluation? The reason is that playing off the ball is Dunn's weakness, and his ability to catch and jump shots needs to be strengthened.In addition, the hidden danger of injury is a big problem for Dunn.In the catch-and-shoot link, Dunn still has obvious flaws. As a core point guard, his awareness of playing pick-and-rolls with big men is not good.This is the reason why he fell to the fifth pick. Without these factors, he can still compete with Ben Simmons for the top pick. After all, a young player who is good at defense can simply be selected. The model of use does not need to spend a lot of energy to cultivate like other players. At the same time, after adapting to the environment, this type of player has the highest success rate.

I won’t go into details about the subsequent drafts and transactions, but with the second pick in the second round, the Lakers signed an inside player, Ivica Zubac, who is also an international player , he is from Croatia, but after the trading window opens, the Lakers may start to recruit players at the All-Star level, especially inside players, and Gasol is basically determined to return to the Lakers, so Ivica Zubba Ci should not be able to get too much playing time with the Lakers, but from another perspective, if the Lakers suddenly rise, he may also be able to follow a championship.
