shooting guard era

Chapter 226 256. The Draft
This is a draft that all teams are looking forward to. Although it is not a big draft year, it is much better than last year's top five picks when several teams didn't know who to choose. This year there are several Players with top talent.

The top five picks are basically reserved. Chris Paul, Andrew Bogut, Deron Williams, Marvin Williams, and Raymond Felton are all regarded as the core of the team. genius.

None of this has much to do with the Bobcats, though.

The Bobcats exercised their right to exchange their first-round picks with the Magic, and got a pick with the [-]th pick in the first round. It looks pretty good, but unfortunately at the [-]th pick, those guards with top talents will definitely be selected. .

In addition, the Bobcats also have a 30th overall pick from the Suns and a 26th overall pick from the Pistons.

As for the second round pick, it has been traded out.

Bickerstaff tried to propose a deal with the Blazers and the Hornets, using three first-round picks for the fourth or fifth pick, but was rejected. He didn't even think about the first three picks. The three teams played badly for a year, not for three "bad draft picks".

Bickerstaff proposed a trade again, offering to add Gerald Wallace or Milicic.Then the Hornets were better. After all, it was a fellow team. Paul Allen, the owner of the Blazers, went into a rage. He said that the trade was fine, plus Okafor or Ye Han.

Well, Bickerstaff knows that there is no play, and these five teams definitely already have candidates in their minds.

Bickerstaff regretted not getting one of those three point guards, but there was nothing he could do about it.

But the more sad thing should be the Magic, the lottery pick is gone, replaced by the No.18 pick of the Bobcats.

Not long before the draft, Bickerstaff contacted Ye Han and asked him what advice he had for the draft.

This is obviously a good show. Which management will let a second-year player make suggestions for the draft?Even James, the knight's son of destiny, does not have this kind of treatment.

Of course, Ye Han wants a better defender. Blake is good, but his efficiency can only last for 20 minutes at most. After that, there is no guarantee that he can make more contributions.

In other words, Blake is a good role player and a good rotation player, but it's almost meaningless to be the starter of a team that is aiming for a championship.

It's a pity that Ye Han was disappointed by the Bobcats' choice in the end. Jordan finally got another chance to make a lottery pick. How could he let Bickerstaff decide?

So...

On June 2005, 6, the annual draft came again.

There is no suspense about the first pick in this year's draft. "Australian Duncan" was selected by the Bucks with the first pick.

Marvin Williams was unexpectedly picked by the Eagles at the second pick, which made the Jazz and Hornets with the third and fourth picks rejoicing.

Especially the Hornets, they had already planned to choose Felton, because the Hawks had already selected Josh Smith last year. The potential that Josh Smith showed in his rookie year is unmatched among this year's rookie insiders.

But the Hawks did just that, drafting a player who overlapped with Josh Smith, which was eye-popping.

The Jazz didn't think much about it, and chose their long-awaited Deron Williams with the third overall pick.

The Hornets quickly took Chris Paul with the fourth pick.

The Hornets initially thought that any one of the three potential point guards this year would do. Among them, Deron and Paul were obviously much more talented. But at the age of 21, his potential is naturally not as good as that of Paul and Deron.

Then Felton did not fall out of the top five and was selected by the Blazers with the fifth overall pick.

After the top five, the remaining teams have nothing to be picky about. Only the top five picks in this year's draft are popular, and no one else can see any talent.

As a result, the players that other teams wanted to choose were basically not robbed, and the players they wanted before were selected.

The Raptors selected power forward Charlie Villanueva with the sixth pick, the Knicks selected lean center Channing Frye with the seventh pick, and the Warriors selected muscular big man Ike Diaw with the eighth pick. antiquity.

Then, another option that surprised people appeared.

The declining Zijin Dynasty Lakers, with a poor record this year, got the ninth overall pick.

After the Lakers lost O'Neal, their internal strength was extremely poor. Only Odom was not enough. All major draft lists predicted that the Lakers would select Shaw from North Carolina, who won the NCAA championship with Felton this year and won the MOP of the Final Four. En-May.

Sean May may not be very talented. The 22-year-old insider has basically been finalized. If he wants to become stronger, he can only become stronger on the original basis. This guy is similar to Curry. He is a fat insider. , with a height of 120 meters and a weight of [-] kg, he is an insider with a soft touch.

He can't be said to be very good, and he's not bad either. He's considered pretty good in this year's draft. At least for the time being, we can't see who is better than him among the remaining players.

But the Lakers said no to people's predictions. They once again selected a 17-year-old high school student Andrew Bynum!
This selection is even more surprising than the Hawks' selection of Marvin Williams.

Some snake media have already begun to satirize the Lakers. Could it be that they want to create a Kobe miracle again?Use a low lottery pick to find a historic player?

It seems that this is the case. Bynum is 17 years old, and his parents have to sign the contract, just like Kobe at that time.

In this way, Sean May, who was predicted to be selected by the Lakers and entered the lottery, fell directly to No. 18 and was selected by the Magic, who exchanged draft rights with the Bobcats.

After all, Sean May is not a potential stock in the hearts of the team management. The teams without the top five picks have already had their own candidates for reinforcement, and they have their own options for immediate combat power. They were eventually selected by the Magic. .

Finally, it was the tenth pick that Ye Han was most concerned about, the lottery pick that the Bobcats got from the Magic.

This time, Ye Han watched the draft at Yao Ming's home. Seeing that Jordan had already started exercising his power as a boss, Ye Han had nothing to say when he hugged Martel Webster, a candidate from Seattle, at the scene.

Yes, he also wants a good substitute, but obviously the point guard position of the team needs to be strengthened now!

Sometimes it is like this, if you have an opinion on a person, then no matter what the person does, you will feel that his choice is problematic.

Ye Han is also an ordinary person, and he is not exempt from it.

Now that the team has made such a choice, Ye Han can only accept it.

Bobcats remaining No.20 sixth pick and No.30 pick respectively selected short power forward Jason - Mark Hill and another short inside David - Lee.

Ye Han had never heard of these two people, so they were obviously not hot newcomers.
