Kwame Brown's Freshman

Chapter 175 2. Andrew Bynum

But Kwame obviously didn't have such good luck. There was only a [-]% hit rate, that is, the envelope that was drawn with the No. [-] lottery out of the [-] envelopes was definitely not drawn, and neither the No. [-] nor No. [-] picks were picked.There is nothing on the envelope, that is to say, let's look at it first, and wait for others to draw the top three picks before ranking according to the record.

In the end, the Magic's first-round pick was fixed at the tenth pick.The Bucks are really lucky. They have a record of [-]th in the league and they miraculously got the No. "The Bobcats, a newly joined team, "won" the league's bottom record. The Hornets cheated their father and only got the fourth pick. The Hawks and Jazz, two teams with fairly good records, both ranked second and third. Broken a lot of glasses.

Next, the Lakers invited many rookies to be drafted, and the best performer was Andrew Bogut from Australia. This Australian big man made Kupchak drool. Not bad, but the Lakers only have the tenth pick, so they can only watch, this is the top pick.

Next there are three very good point guards, but the Lakers don't want to get that much. The Lakers' current point guards are second to none in the league.Mihm has applied for a trade, and Divac is about to retire. The Lakers are now in a panic inside. Apart from Kwame and Odom, there are only Humphries, Thomas, and Powell. You can play the main force, but Thomas and Powell are not left by other teams. You can imagine how weak the Lakers' inside depth is now.Coupled with the fact that Odom doesn't like to play on the inside, the Lakers only have [-] inside players.So Kupchak really wants to choose a big center now. Bogut is good, but the Lakers can't get it, so they can only choose some less amazing but talented ones based on the draft picks in front of them.Kupchak thought to himself, anyway, the guys on the Lakers are still young, choose a substitute, and slowly develop. Kwame's dominance as a center is also the top in the league. Although he is more efficient as a forward, he can make do with it.

In fact, Kupchak has already discussed with the small boss to choose a player. Even if there is no first-round pick this year, he will trade one.However, since this pick is a lottery pick, it's just a matter of luck. If you can get that Bai Duncan, do you still need a substitute?Even if you don't get the number one lottery, the person who has been selected a long time ago will not be able to leave.

In addition to the No. [-] pick, the Lakers also have three second-round picks, two of which were sent by other teams during the trade.They are their own No. [-] pick, the No. [-] pick from the Raptors, and the No. [-] pick from the Knicks.

The second-round picks are as follows:
31 Atlanta Hawks
32 Los Angeles Clippers

33 New Orleans Hornets
34 Utah Jazz
35 Portland Trail Blazers

36 Milwaukee Bucks
37 Los Angeles Lakers

46 Indiana Pacers

47 Minnesota Timberwolves

48 Seattle SuperSonics

49 Washington Wizards

50 Boston Celtics

51 Utah Jazz
2 Denver Nuggets
53 Boston Celtics

54 New York Knicks

56 Detroit Pistons

57 Phoenix Suns
58 Los Angeles Lakers

59 Atlanta Hawks

.It is said that the Lakers bosses' vision for choosing inside players is really not covered. Kwame was indeed taken aback by the big man selected by his small boss.

During pre-draft workouts, Kupchak called both Kwame and Bryant, and took a special look at the big man they wanted to draft, Andrew Bynum, a high school student from New Jersey.

However, Kobe’s first feeling when he saw him was not very good. The main reason was that his hairstyle was too crazy, his technique was too rough, and his strength and weight were not bad, but Kobe only felt that he was a big stupid guy, and he was still a high school student. Although Kobe He was also a high school student, but he didn't want another high school rookie on his team.The reason is simple. Not all rookies in high school are James. Even he himself played as a substitute for two years before slowly climbing to the main position.The Lakers are now a championship team, and what they need is a plug-and-play functional player. Maybe this big man is talented, but Kobe can't wait, and doesn't want to wait.But this is all arranged by the management. Kobe doesn’t think the management will cover their heads and do stupid things. They must have their own purpose. , This kind of player with tonnage and height is not bad, and if it is not enough, it can be used for trading. The talent of a player who can be favored by the general manager as a high school student is naturally excellent.

But Kwame is different, because this is a high school student like him, and he is only [-] years old!Kwame looked at Kobe who was walking out of the player tunnel. It seemed that this guy was younger than Kobe, and his draft pick should be higher than Kobe.

In fact, there are still some differences in the so-called high school draft.High school draft picks are probably [-]-year-old high school students, but there are two types.The first kind of fake [-]-year-old Kwame, James, and Garnett, what is a fake [-]-year-old?That is to say, they were [-] years old when they were drafted, but they turned [-] within two months before entering the league or after entering the league.

Take James and Anthony. Although one is a high school student and the other is a college student, the age difference between them is less than half a year.Therefore, their future growth space is the same, and because Anthony played in the NCAA for a year, he is more favored by experts, because he plays team basketball in college, and Anthony can also get four with his own data. Strong match mop.In addition, after high school students enter the NBA, the first thing they have to experience is to play with adults. This is a test for players, which is why Anthony's rookie season is more optimistic.It's just that James' performance is too bad, and there is no way.

Kwame looked at Bynum's profile, wow, he's much better than when he was a sophomore in high school, and he wasn't as strong when he was [-] years old.

Kwame looked at Andrew Bynum, who was taking the shooting test, and kept thinking about his information: Andrew Bynum, from New Jersey, St. Joseph High School?I have never heard of it. He is [-] feet [-] inches tall and is expected to eventually grow to [-] feet [-] inches. His wingspan is already terrifying at [-] feet [-] inches. He weighs [-] pounds and can jump up to [-] inches (approx. [-] cm), you know Anthony's highest jump is [-] inches, which is really good.Relatively slow to move, but fast for a [-]-footer.An All-American first-team player, the only All-American first-team player younger than this big man in the past [-] years seems to be James, who was only selected when he was [-] years old in his senior year.

The more Kwame thought about it, the more he felt that the team was picking this time. Perhaps it was the influence of Kwame and Howard that made other teams not have the confidence to choose a high school student as the No. [-] pick. Otherwise, how could such a player have Chance to be selected by the Lakers?

The scouting report predicts that Bynum will be drafted [-]-[-], but in terms of talent, Bynum is clearly the strongest of these guys.

It's just that Okafor, who has studied in college this year, defeated Howard to be elected as the rookie king. It took Kwame so many years to succeed.And Swift's completely degraded players make owners look down on high school big men.

In the first round of the draft, it is normal for the team boss to be present in many teams, but Kobe just didn't go, so Kwame was pulled to be a strong man.The happiest thing was not Kwame, but the three of Hillary. None of them had watched the draft live, so the above scene happened.
