Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 60 Another Year in the Draft

Regardless of Vivek's thoughts, Tyreke has no plans to do anything for the time being, after all, everything is just other people's words.Even if you want to confess your love to An Jiali, you have to do it under the premise that you have a lot of confidence, and it must be shocking enough.

A few days later, Anjiali had to leave Sacramento because of her family's travel plans, but Tyreke was still carrying out his training plan step by step, and he was eager to play better next season.

At the same time, the lottery results of the 2011 NBA Draft have also been released. The Sacramento Kings have three picks this year, namely the 14th pick in the first round, the 20th pick in the second round, and the 30th pick in the second round.

When the lottery results were announced, Tyreke got another call from Petri.

"Tyreke, um, I didn't expect you to be really good. Not long after the team changed hands, you fell in love with the new owner's precious daughter..."

"Hey, Mr. Petri, why are you making fun of me like everyone else..." Tyreke said angrily.

"Haha, okay, okay, I won't say much about young people, I'm looking for you for business."

"Oh?"

"Tyreke, do you remember the agreement I made with you last offseason? Although Wesley Johnson didn't play badly last season and was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team, he really didn't reach my goal. I don’t know how he will develop next season, but your opinion does make some sense. I keep my promise, come to my office tomorrow, and I want to hear your opinion on this year’s draft.”

After hanging up the phone, Tyreke thought about it. This year's draft pick has changed from what he remembered. Due to the improved record, the Kings' first-round pick this year is the 14th pick.Since he couldn't completely search for the picks of all the rookies in the 2011 class from his previous memory, Tyreke quickly turned on the computer and inquired about the rookies who participated in this year's draft.

"Oh, it turned out to be these people, now I have a little impression." Tyreke leaned on the sofa and watched this year's draft information, and already had some thoughts in his heart.

The next day, Tyreke came to Petri's office again.

"Tyreke, sit down." Petry beckoned Tyreke to sit down and handed him a cup of hot coffee.

"Thanks, Mr. Petrie."

Petri sat down opposite Tyreke, smiled and said: "Terreke, let's get straight to the point. This year's draft will start soon. We have carefully analyzed and studied the scout report. In these few days Each seat has a preliminary decision, but I want to hear your opinion."

Tyreke took a sip of his coffee and said, "Mr. Petri, can you tell me who the team plans to draft?"

Petry thought for a while, "It's okay to tell you. After all, the boss has said that you are a privileged player of the team. We have the 14th pick in the first round. In this pick, our first choice is Morris. Brother, the team's four-position personnel are still not enough. The Morris Brothers, a pair of big men with excellent athletic ability and soft shooting touch, can greatly enrich the team's four-position options. At the same time, my personal favorite is Ji Mo Fredette, his college performance is really shocking! But such a good player can't fall to the 14th pick, and the team does not intend to trade up the draft pick."

Speaking of this, Petri couldn't help showing a look of longing on his face.

In Tyreke's memory, the Morris brothers were selected with the 13th and 14th picks respectively. Petry has a reason to choose them. The two are indeed capable players, but they are just blue-collar players. Players only.

"I can assure you that Fredette will lose his college demeanor in the NBA. Fredette's physical condition is too poor. My suggestion is Jimmy Butler!"

As far as Tyreke can remember, the best players in the first round after the 14th pick were the Indiana Pacers with the 15th pick Kawhi Leonard and the Chicago Bulls with the 30th pick Jimmy Butt Le.Kawhi Leonard became one of the best players in the league under the training of Gregg Popovich. Jimmy Butler relied on his own efforts, seized the opportunity to start defensively, and eventually grew into the league's top wing .

Tyreke originally wanted to suggest that Petrie choose Kawhi Leonard, but Kawhi Leonard's success is inseparable from the training of the Spurs, and Jimmy Butler is a real acquired talent. Thibodeau was selected as a defensive leader, and he seized every opportunity. With his own efforts, he, who is not considered talented, has grown into a real star.

Legendary coach Gregg Popovich, three future Hall of Famers, and the atmosphere of a veteran strong team, the Spurs’ platform is not what the Kings can provide today. If the Sacramento Kings choose Kawhi Leonard, in the Kings. No one knows how high it can grow.And Tyreke believes that as long as Jimmy Butler is given a chance, he can gradually grow up wherever he is.

"Jimmy Butler? Jimmy Butler from Marquette University?" Petrie shook his head silently.

"A player who is too old and has average talent. He is not sure whether he can make it to the first round. You let me pick him with the 14th pick? You said that Fredette can't play in the NBA. Picking Jimmy Butler at No. 14 is a joke."

Seeing that Petri was not impressed by his proposal, Tyreke was also somewhat surprised. After all, Jimmy Butler is indeed not a good seed from the current point of view, but no one can see his hard work the day after tomorrow.

In Tyreke's memory, after the 2011th overall pick in the 14 draft, there were three All-Star players, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, and Isaiah Thomas .Among them, Isaiah Thomas will be selected by the Kings with the 175th overall pick. Kawhi Leonard is indeed a piece of jade, but Tyreke does not think that the Kings, which are dominated by young people, can train Kawhi Leonard well. , so Jimmy Butler must be picked!
Tyreke thought for a while, and said seriously to Petri: "Mr. Petri, I strongly recommend Jimmy Butler. Even if the team is not willing to choose him with the 14th pick, I hope the team will win him through operation." Jimmy Butler!"

Petri saw Tyreke's attitude so resolute, stared at Tyreke for tens of seconds, frowned slightly and stretched, shook his head and smiled: "Terreke, I'm really good, you're the leader of our team No. [-], the boss has said that the team will build around you, so they will naturally consider your opinion. You recommend Jimmy Butler so strongly. Well, after all, he is not a popular player, so there is no problem in operating it!"
