NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 112 The draft is over
"I announce that the Utah Jazz will select Greg Ostertag from the University of Kansas with the No.20 eighth pick in the first round." Stern announced the 28th pick on stage.

Davidson asked the on-site staff to pass the note he had prepared to the Nets.

"I announce that the New Jersey Nets selected Eric Snow from Michigan State University with the No. 20 ninth pick in the first round."

Old Nelson was stunned, he didn't expect Snow to be selected in the first round.

Not only old Nelson, but many people at the scene were all laughing. It seems that Davidson's vision is the same...

Among Eric Snow's draft predictions in the past few times, the best one is around the middle of the second round, and there are even some draft prediction lists that don't have his name at all.

The 191cm-tall No. [-] player has good physical fitness, but his offensive ability is a bit speechless.

Not to mention the three-pointer, he can't even shoot the mid-range shot very accurately.

Many teams on the scene have tried Eric Snow, and they feel very disappointed.

Although the players in the first position do not have as high a need for offensive ability as the second and third positions, but you can't have nothing at all...

Davidson was naturally aware of Snow's characteristics, which were clearly stated in the player's handbook.

The offensive ability is almost equivalent to that of a blue-collar center, the organizational ability is above average, and the defensive ability is top-notch.

What Davidson valued was Snow's defensive ability. To be rated as a top defensive player by the club, it must be at the level of being selected to the best defensive team.

Such a player, even if his offensive ability is sloppy, can be selected with the 29th overall pick, which is definitely not a loss.

"Boy, is it Old Chuck's intention to choose Eric Snow?" Old Nelson asked with a smile.

Davidson shook his head. "That's what I mean."

"Well, you really look exactly like old Chuck."

Old Nelson actually knew that Snow had good defensive potential, but he didn't like such a player with no offensive ability.

In his opinion, Chuck Daly, who likes to build an iron-blooded defensive system, will favor this kind of player.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Davidson's own choice.

Still the same sentence, if it wasn't for the wrong skin color, Old Nelson even thought Davidson was Chuck Daly's illegitimate son.

These two have so much in common...

The first round of the draft is over, and in the next second round, the Kings still have a 42nd pick.

Davidson will naturally choose Battelle.

"I announce that the Sacramento Kings have selected Monk Battelle from China's NMG Autonomous Region with the 42nd pick in the second round!"

As soon as Stern finished speaking, a reminder sounded in Davidson's mind.

"Bind the second natal player successfully!"

Davidson breathed a sigh of relief, his own plan for this draft has been fully achieved.

There was no situation of being cut off.

It is impossible to think about being cut off, Snow is not favored by others, and Davidson is surprised by being selected in the first round.

And Battelle's choice is even more jaw-dropping.

Most of the people at the scene didn't even know who this Battelle was...

Chinese players?I'm afraid Davidson is not crazy. With so many local players, he actually chose a Chinese player.

Both Larry Brown and Pat Riley laughed. If Davidson hadn't been too ruthless, they might have started laughing now.

They didn't open their mouths now, not because they were afraid of Davidson, but because they felt that arguing with a new melon like Davidson was a bit cheap...

……

After Battelle was selected, Davidson began to ponder the king's lineup for next season.

There is no doubt that Muresan and Battelle will be the king's starting inside twin towers in the new season.

The players at the second and third positions, the Kings are already good.

No. [-] Richmond, needless to say, is a first-tier No. [-] player in the league. He has been selected to the best team and has been an All-Star player for several times. Last season, the All-Star even won the MVP.

As for Walter Williams at the third position, he was the King’s No. 16.4 scorer last season. He is stronger than Chris Morris of the Nets. He averages 203 points per game. He is [-] cm tall and has three-point defense. He may not be as good as Jaylen Rose, but the gap is not that big.

Such a player in the third position, Davidson is naturally reluctant to sell.

The starting players for the four positions from No. 2 to No. 5 are basically settled.

The next No. [-] position still makes Davidson a little worried.

The King's original starting No. [-] was Spot Weber, who is also the little potato Weber that fans are familiar with.

Potato Webber, like Bucks Williams, was actually called Anthony Jerome Webber.

With a height of 168 cm, he once snatched the honor of dunk king from Wilkins and became a legend.

But the legend belongs to the legend, Davidson doesn't really want to keep Little Tudou in the team.

With such a size, defense is definitely a black hole within a black hole. More importantly, with Weber's size, he doesn't even have the ability to make three-pointers.

It's not that there are none at all, it's just that it's bad, so bad that it's not even as good as Jordan's three-pointer.

Such a player, used as a surprise soldier on the bench, may be able to achieve some good results.

But it would be too inappropriate to use him as the resident starting point guard.

With a height of 168, the defense is too disadvantaged. The more games of this level in the playoffs, the more it will become a defensive loophole on the court.

There is no doubt that Davidson will have to find a way to deal with the little potato Webb.

Either sell it or drop it to the bench.

Eric Snow, although he is Davidson's favorite point guard, he is not suitable for starting now, at least he needs to practice for a year or two.

If Snow is Davidson's natal player, then everything is easy to handle. If he directly adopts an offensive system, Snow will directly increase his strength.

But now Snow is not Davidson's natural player after all, and Davidson can only be cultivated slowly.

……

After the draft, Davidson bid farewell to Nelson and returned to the hotel with his two assistants.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Davidson met with Willis Reed to announce the deal.

When the two met, they didn't say much, it was completely business.

……

After returning to Saramento, Davidson first went to Petrie.

He told Petrie about his next lineup adjustment plan.

Petrie looked dazed, because the plan Davidson said was a bit too radical in his opinion.

Selling Brian Grant, who can be said to have the greatest potential in the team, and Webber, a very popular little potato among the fans? !
No matter how you look at it, this plan is quite unreliable.

With the idea of ​​selling the little potatoes, this Petrie can understand.

He also had this idea, but he had to consider the feelings of the Kings fans. Little Tudou was quite popular, and if he sold it, it would inevitably disappoint the Kings fans.

As for Brian Grant, in Petrie's view, he is completely a little Coleman, and it is a perfect match with Muresan!
Petrie didn't know why Davidson was going crazy and wanted to sell Grant...

In his rookie season, Grant was able to hit 13+7.5 data. In the next new season, Grant's data will improve. This is like a rising insider star.
