NBA Ten Thousand Worlds Bishop

Chapter 280 Carter and Dazhi Got It

Two days later, Davidson appeared on the draft floor.

This year's draft is really a coincidence, it happened to be held in Vancouver.

This is also the first and only time in NBA history that the draft will be held in Vancouver.

With the draft being held right in front of his home, Davidson naturally had to go early.

After arriving at the venue, representatives of each team arrived in twos and threes.

When Davidson saw those who had a good relationship, he went up to greet them. As for those who were not dealt with, he naturally pretended not to see them.

"Man, I heard you want to choose Carter this time?" Adelman asked Davidson in a low voice.

Davidson was taken aback, but he didn't expect that Stu Jackson actually revealed this matter.

But it's not a big deal. Anyway, it's impossible for the Clippers to choose Carter. Even if they don't choose big men Olowokandi or LaFrentz, they will definitely choose point guard Bibby.

The Clippers now have a young Brent Barry, and it is unlikely to use the precious No. [-] pick to select a shooting guard player.

In the entire NBA history, only the Philadelphia 76ers have done the luxury of using the No. [-] pick to select a guard, and they have done it twice.

"Yes, I do have this idea." Davidson nodded.

There is no need to hide it, anyway, it is impossible for Carter to be intercepted.

Adelman nodded and said with a smile: "Shooting guards from North Carolina can always give people illusions."

……

After a while, Stern began to appear on the stage, and the draft officially began.

"I announce that the Los Angeles Clippers have selected Michael Olowokandi from University of the Pacific with the first pick in the first round."

Sure enough, the Clippers didn't make any risky choices, and directly selected the top pick Olowokandi with the No. [-] pick.

Olowokandi is a seven-foot center who is so standard that he can no longer be standard.

Although he only started playing basketball at the age of 17, but his physical fitness is really good, so he played quite amazing performances in college, averaging about 22 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks per game in the season.

Of course, this data seems to be overwhelming, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually the same.

The main reason is that the Pacific University he is in is really not a top NCAA school, and the Greater Central and Western Division he belongs to is also a relatively weak division, so the gold content of this data is not high.

Maybe experts from all walks of life value the potential of Olowokandi. After all, with a height of seven feet and excellent physical talent, after a few years of training, he may be able to give people an extremely huge surprise.

This guy is actually a fellow of Dameng Olajuwon, both of whom are from Lagos, the capital of Nigeria.

Maybe this is why he has received so much attention. Some fans think that this guy will become another big dream...

As far as Nigeria is a country, the men's basketball team is actually not strong, but there have been many NBA legends who have played, but these Nigerian stars have not played for Nigeria in the future.

For example, Antetokounmpo and Oladipo, who will be born in the future, are also from Nigeria.

……

Seeing that the Clippers chose Olowokandi, Davidson smiled on his face, and Carter got it.

Five minutes later, Stern was on stage again.

"I announce that the Vancouver Grizzlies have selected Vince Carter from the University of North Carolina with the second overall pick in the first round."

Because tonight is the home of the Grizzlies, many Grizzlies fans came to watch the draft.

Seeing that the Grizzlies chose Carter instead of Bibby as they had predicted, many Grizzlies fans were dumbfounded.

The draft does not mean random selection, there are routines to follow, even ordinary fans, if they have a deeper understanding of the NBA, they can roughly guess which players their home team will choose.

Especially for the top three digit teams, it is even easier to guess. Basically, one guess is accurate, and the error rate does not exceed [-]%.

But now the Grizzlies did not choose Bibby, but chose Carter, which undoubtedly made the Grizzlies fans feel a little regretful.

In their view, with Davidson's training, Bibby may be able to play at the level of Nash in the future...

Davidson naturally noticed the boos at the scene, and quite a few laughed.

When the new season starts, these booing fans will probably become really popular.

The Grizzlies' choice directly caused chaos for the next few teams...

The Denver Nuggets, holding the lottery, are now in a daze.

Originally, they were sure to choose LaFrentz, an inside player.

Their situation is somewhat similar to that of the Clippers. There is nothing too strong in the team. In the past two years, there was a power forward McDyess who supported the scene, but McDyess was sold to the Suns last season.

There must be something tricky in this deal, because McDyess returned to the Nuggets after only playing for the Suns for one year...

As for the two teams, the Nuggets and the Suns, what terms were negotiated to rent McDyess for a year, only God knows.

In other words, McDyess will return to the Nuggets next season.

Originally, they naturally wanted Bibby, and the internal and external combination of Bibby plus McDyess is quite fascinating.

But they only had the No. [-] pick, and everyone believed that the Grizzlies, who held the No. [-] pick, would win Bibby, so they could only settle for the next best thing and target LaFrentz.

Now that the Grizzlies don't want Bibby, it's impossible for the Nuggets to miss this opportunity...

"I announce that the Denver Nuggets have selected Mike Bibby from the University of Arizona with the third pick in the first round."

Next, the Raptors and Warriors with the fourth and fifth picks were even more confused.

Because the two teams had privately contacted before the draft...

The Warriors with the fifth overall pick wanted Jamison, and the Raptors with the fourth overall pick took Jamison first.

Then let the Warriors select Carter with the fifth overall pick, and trade Jamison for Carter plus some other benefits.

With Carter being selected by the Grizzlies, the two teams were a little confused.

Without saying a word, the Raptors directly selected the remaining LaFrentz, and didn't bother to intercept the Warriors.

The Warriors got their wish and selected Antawn Jamison with the fifth overall pick.

It is worth mentioning that Jamison and Carter are actually brothers-in-law...

The world is so ingenious, and the script cannot write such a coincidence.

Under normal circumstances, Carter and Jamison are ranked fourth and fifth in the same draft.

Carter's wife is the sister of Jamison's wife...

Except for the No. [-] pick, all the top five picks were disrupted.

Davidson has been waiting, and Carter has already got it, so it's natural to wait for Big Zhi next.

Soon, the first round was coming to an end, Davidson announced the 28th pick, and then Davidson wrote a note and handed it to the Kings.

"I announce that the Sacramento Kings have selected Wang Zhizhi from China with the No.20 ninth pick in the first round!"
