When the NCAA came to an end, it was also the beginning of the busiest time for NBA scouts, head coaches, and general managers.

The draft will be held in June. Before that, all clubs have to evaluate these candidates, so that they can make accurate judgments when they know their own club's draft picks.

Whether it is a potential superstar, timely combat effectiveness, or reinforcement, these all need to be considered by the coaches and general managers.

In the general manager's office of the Utah Jazz, Ty Corbin was discussing Zhang Zifeng with Dennis Linther and several scouts.

When reading the scout's earlier report, the current head coach of the Utah Jazz, Ty Corbin, had watched the game between Duke University and Mercer University.

His purpose is simple. Parker predicted that the pick is too high. The Jazz should not get such a high pick. He came to personally inspect Duke University's shooting guard Zhang Zifeng and Hood.

As soon as he came back today, he couldn't wait to come to discuss Zhang Zifeng's matter with the general manager Dennis Linse.

Ty Corbyn said directly, "I think that Chinese is worthy of our consideration!"

Dennis Lincer shook his head like a pendulum clock, "No, no, this guy is not worth our precious first-round pick to sign him. I admit that this guy feels very good during this season. But you You know, his state is very unstable. He could score 15+ in the previous game, but he may only score seven or eight points in the next game. Considering his poor physical fitness and confrontation, as well as his single offensive method, we cannot use noble There are many people like him in the NCAA, but they can’t perform well in the NBA. The MOP Hancock of the NCAA last year is not more beautiful than the Chinese now, but you see who will go Been in contact with him, sent him an invite for tryouts. Ty, listen to me. If it was the second round, I promise you I'd take him without hesitation. OK?"

Corbin had a headache after listening to the general manager.

As Dennis Linther said, Zhang Zifeng's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.

His running ability and soft touch are very much needed by the Utah Jazz at this stage.

But what Dennis Linser said is correct. The Chinese's physical fitness and slightly thin body are a big problem in the highly confrontational NBA.

It may take two or three years to really become a talent!
But will the team give him such a long time to develop?
And can he really become a talent?
No one can guarantee!
General manager Dennis Linser continued, "I know you want a scorer. Maybe the Chinese has great potential, but the first-round pick is definitely not good. I watched the Duke University game. Deni Hood is a good guy. He is a sophomore. He has better physical fitness and impact than Zhang Zifeng, and he is also a good shooter. I think he is more suitable for our requirements!"

Hearing the general manager's explanation, Corbin had a hard time making a choice.

Yes, Hood has better physical fitness and more offensive means than Zhang Zifeng.But this guy has basically taken shape, without any potential at all, and he is a combat power.

Although Zhang Zifeng has obvious shortcomings, his potential is unlimited. He has the potential to become a superstar like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen!
Ty Corbin sighed and said, "Maybe Zhang Zifeng is really just a second-round player at this stage. He is still growing. As long as he is given time, I still believe that he can become a superstar. Maybe that day we Will regret today's decision"

Dennis Linther shrugged and said indifferently, "Who knows? Maybe in a year or two, we won't see him anymore!"

This conversation is going on at several clubs.

Not only the club, Zhang Zifeng and Zheng Xinguo are also discussing this year's NBA draft.

Zheng Xinguo said to Zhang Zifeng, "Feng, let me be honest. Several clubs invited you to try out, but it can be seen that they don't care about you very much. If you really want to participate in the draft, you may fall into the second round."

The difference between first-round and second-round picks is huge.

The players in the first round have high annual salaries, two-year guaranteed contracts, and the annual salary must be within 80%-120% of the annual salary stipulated by the league according to the order. The contract is a 4-year 2+2 contract, and the next two years are team options. Year.

The specific amount of annual salary is arranged according to the ranking, the higher the ranking, the higher the annual salary.

The annual salary of the No. 600 pick is roughly equivalent to the NBA's middle-class contract, with an average annual salary of about $[-] million for four years.

Because of the different annual salaries of the signings, NCAA players will try their best to express themselves, hoping to become the main force of the team, hoping to become the core of the team, so that it is possible to enter the first round and get a high salary.

Players in the second round have the right to sign a guaranteed contract with the team for up to three years, but the team can directly choose to give up signing with the player before the start of the season, or only sign a non-guaranteed contract with the player. You can choose to give up the player at any time.

And the highest annual salary in the first year is 80.

Zhang Zifeng said, "If I am selected in the second round of the draft, if the team abandons me then, I can't go back to Duke University to continue competing in the NCAA!"

Zheng Xinguo nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhang Zifeng pondered for a while and said, "I need to think about it!"

"After all, this is related to your career. You should think about it seriously. But it's better as soon as possible, the NBA draft registration time is coming soon."

Each year the NBA sets two dates, and all players wishing to participate in the draft must declare for the draft by the first date.

Provide written notice to the NBA 45 days prior to the start of the draft,

After that, the NBA will set up training camps for those players, allowing players to show their abilities and skills to various teams.

The second date, the day of final declaration for the draft, is one week before the draft.

Any player can make a decision before that to withdraw his name and not participate in the draft that year.

This date is very important to college players. If they do not officially declare their participation in the draft until the final declaration day, they will lose the opportunity to study in college regardless of whether an NBA team finally selects them.
