Chapter 611 This Time Is Really Nonsense
Mbah a Moute's biggest role is defense.

And can switch between the small forward and power forward positions, which is more in line with the king's flexible defensive system.

Coupled with the fact that the Kings only have $372 million in salary space when Thomas Jr. and Covington signed with a basic salary, Mbah a Moute has become the best choice for the Kings in the free market. It is best to win $450 million in two years. 220 million per year.

Players can be given options. Anyway, Dorian can reach the gap after a year of training, and it doesn't matter if he jumps out at that time.

I don't expect how accurate Mbah a Moute's shots are. There is no need for 3 points, only defensive needs, to fill the time of the third and fourth positions, to avoid too much consumption by Antetokounmpo and Covington, reduce the probability of injury, and ensure smooth Ground impact three consecutive championships.

Su Yang casually asked his assistant to contact Mbah a Moute's agent, but don't show any intention of recruiting for the time being, just say that you are interested and want to have a chat, so as to avoid the other party sitting on the ground and raising the price. Mott communication.

At that time, Su Yang will go out in person to compete with the biggest opponent, the Clippers, and promise to average playing time per game, etc.

Assistant Taylor replied quickly, saying: "Bah a Moute is interested in talking in detail, but I want to talk about tactical status..."

Su Yang agreed on the spot: "Talk, you can talk about anything, if there is anything you can't talk about, isn't it about tactical status, small things."

In a blink of an eye, on the 24th, the draft was held at the Nets' home court, Barclays Center, and Simmons was elected the No. [-] pick without any suspense.

The 76ers fans waiting at the scene were excited and reveled, holding up Simmons' photo stickers and shouting: Philadelphia welcomes a superstar!
Simmons is a player whose draft template is LeBron. The same large forward and guard, the same impact ability, and the same bad shooting ability, but shooting can be practiced. A famous coach once said that only height can not be practiced. from…

Anyway, Philadelphia fans were overjoyed.

Completely unnoticed, or intentionally ignored, Simmons has another draft template: Lamar Odom.

I also didn't look carefully at the shortcomings of Simmons in the draft report. The first sentence is a lack of belief in shooting.

Su Yang couldn't help but sigh, NBA scouts are really professional. Although there are some players who are misjudged, compared to the whole, their accuracy rate is super high, and many so-called misjudgments are more likely to be due to the fact that their picks do not match their actual abilities. , Did not scout the reason.

Su Yang felt a little nervous when he was drafted 28th in the first round.

Fortunately, the Spurs still have their eyes on Dejounte Murray. After all, his figure is really good as a point guard. In recent years, big point guards have become popular. Compared with Brogdon, Murray is four years younger and has greater potential. A lot, and the gambling payoff is higher.

After the Warriors and the Pacers made their own choices, but neither chose Brogdon, Su Yang felt slightly relaxed.

After a short break, the second round of the draft is held.

The 76st pick that originally belonged to the 31ers was traded to the Heat in 12 because of Justin Hamilton, and then was traded to the Celtics in 14 because of Jordan Crawford and Marshan Brooks. Deyonte Davis.

However, the Celtics did not keep Dejanta Davis and immediately traded to the Grizzlies for the 19th pick in the first round.

Su Yang didn't think too much, and continued to watch.

The Lakers chose big center Zubac, and there is no need for a point guard or a shooting guard. After all, there are Russell, Jordan Clarkson, and guards such as Lou Wei and Nick Young in the lineup. The striker is ready to attack the British Jordan Roll Deng, very fierce.

As soon as the league vice president Tatum announced that the Lakers had chosen Zubac, Su Yang received a call from Buss Jr.

"Su, from your perspective, can you help me judge whether Zubac is worth our efforts to cultivate?"

Su Yang thought for a moment, and said honestly: "Zubac is above the average level of the second-round pick, but his weakness is obvious..."

"What about Brogdon? When Shames broke the news before, Jenny suggested that I directly grab the person you fancy, because the worst you fancy is the average level, but we have too many defenders, tell me the truth, let me play The family meeting can…”

Hearing those words, Su Yang knew that little Buss was crazy, worried that Jenny would seize power, and had already lost his mind.

No wonder Luol Deng and Mozgov were punched hard.

"You chose the train of thought is correct..."

Su Yang didn't say much. Bass' thinking is very correct. The Lakers already have four guards who need the ball, and they are all young players. Let others sit on the bench.

What's more, Luke Walton is still coaching.

The draft continues.

The Clippers also chose center player Sheikh Diallo, whose pick came from the Nets' 12-year trade for Reggie Evans.

Su Yang let out another breath of relief.

The Suns then chose point guard Tyler Younis, which is strange to say the least. They used to have Dragic, and now they also have Brandon Knight and Bradsoe. They actually chose a pure point guard. The feeling of playing mahjong.

Then at the 35th pick, the Celtics traded the Hornets to the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves traded to the Suns, and the Suns traded to the Celtics for the draft pick. Bears swap 2019 first round.

Su Yang was completely relaxed.

The king then told the staff responsible for confirming the draft results that Malcolm Brogdon was selected with the 36th overall pick, and this time, both Shames and Woj broke the news in advance: the king will use the 36th overall pick to select Zhou Qi.

Su Yang swiped the news feeds of Weibo, Twitter, and Hupu, and laughed out loud on the spot, and the inner ghost broke the news again.

But this time the range of insiders should be very small, and it was the bait released by Chris Granger and Sam Hinkie at the same time.

Even if you can't catch it, you can narrow the scope.

On the contrary, domestic studios were embarrassed for a while, because Shames and Woj's revelations were always accurate, but they suddenly made mistakes.

Su Yang immediately posted on Weibo to let the fans not panic.

Then the King used the 40th overall pick in the trade with the Pelicans to choose Zhou Qi before the Rockets made a move.

All major media and communities in the country are directly boiling.

Chinese-owned NBA teams finally have a Chinese player, and the likes of Anta and Li-Ning ramp up their ads.

Su Yang continued to watch the draft for a while, and after the Grizzlies chose Wang Zhelin, he called the Grizzlies boss Robert Petra in person, asking the other party to sell Wang Zhelin's signing rights, and use the 60th overall pick of the Kings to exchange.

He wanted to compensate some cash, but Robert directly said forget it, and Su Yang suggested that the other party go to grab Bryn Forbes instead.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang called Wang Zhelin again. Who would have thought that after the king connected, he would say that he was reading a novel about cultivating immortals...

The draft is over.

According to the plan, the Kings will continue to contact the outstanding undrafted picks, and they have already made a promise to try out Dorian before, as long as they are undrafted, they will reach a signing intention with them as soon as possible, and invite Caruso and Van Vleet to call. Yang personally played out.

The news of the trade of Wang Zhelin also broke out.

Domestic fans and the media are boiling again, double happiness.

On the 26th of the next day, the king held a media meeting for Brogdon, and Su Yang and Sam Hinkie attended together.

The reporter came up and asked Brogdon to get the highest honor in his career. Su Yang said with a smile: "In my opinion, he will be the best rookie. He has the opportunity to reach the 180 club and the best sixth man. He will gradually grow. For the leader players..."

After the report was released, more than 90% of the fans believed that Su Yang was deliberately exaggerating, and this time it was really nonsense.

With Simmons' talent, he is the best rookie if he plays casually.

The point is, even if Brogdon has the same level as Simmons, he will play much less time than Simmons. The king's guard reserves include Curry, Thomas Jr., and LaVine. Even if George goes to play small forward, Brogdon will not get too much. Play more time.

The 180 club is even more exaggerated. In the entire NBA history, only Dirk, Nash, Curry, Bird and others have achieved it, all of which are super giants.

In short, the fans think that Su Yang is being destroyed a little bit by the arrogance brought by the two-time and six-time coach.

Seeing the discussion, Su Yang didn't care at all. He was going to put his energy into re-signing Thomas Jr.'s contract and Covington's contract renewal. However, Sam Hinkie sent news that Jason Thompson had agreed to a one-year deal. The basic salary goes back to the Kings.
