I'm really good at shooting.

Sabonis also publicly complained about the team doctor's attitude towards him. When he had muscle soreness, the team doctor's approach was to give him painkillers.

After that, the more famous ones are Roy and Oden.

Roy's problem is more complicated. He is a bit like Grant Hill back then, with injuries but eager to play.

But this also includes the Trail Blazers team doctor.

Because of the knee injury, the team doctor chose to remove the meniscus instead of repairing it.

We must know that in the long history of the NBA, only Wade and Duncan can perform well after removing the meniscus.

And then there's Oden.

Oden's injury may not be called an injury at first, because he had hip surgery when he was a child, which caused him to have long and short legs.

That is, one foot is longer, and the other foot is shorter.

This caused his feet to always be unbalanced, and the knee with too much burden was naturally prone to problems.

This problem was not discovered before Oden entered the NBA, but he actually knew it after his first surgery.

At that time, some medical experts suggested adding an insole to the shoe of Oden's shorter leg, but the Trail Blazers team doctor refused.

Including the Trail Blazers team medical team at the time, some team doctors suggested doing so, but they were fired directly.

So you say whether Oden will be like the Trail Blazers again when he arrives in the Warriors, Sun Hao doesn't know.

After all, in history, Griffin also suffered a knee injury for a season before entering the league, but he was still very vigorous after returning from the operation.

After showing enough shots of the small green house, the live audience and some non-lotto players appeared in the live broadcast.

At this time, Sun Hao saw a familiar figure.

Sun Yue!

Sun Yue took the same initiative as Zhu Fangyu back then, but the difference is that he was not selected while sleeping like Zhu Fangyu.

He did a lot of trial training for himself to enter the NBA, including the Lakers.

Because he has been training with Sun Hao before, compared with the same period in history, his scoring ability, especially the three-point shooting ability, has been greatly improved.

This also gives him a lot of potential as a 3-and-D player, which makes him a lot better draft prospect than in history.

In previous draft simulations, he was projected to be picked late in the first round.

The highest draft pick was No. 22, selected by the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers' current lineup is very weak as a backcourt substitute, and the 3D style of play is very suitable for Kobe.

After the scene was fully warmed up, the live camera was shown in the middle of the stage, and Stern came out from inside.

A period of boos is indispensable, and a familiar prologue that can no longer be familiar.

Then, it is the choice of waiting for the Warriors for 5 minutes.

At this time, the live camera has been switching back and forth between Barkley's commentary station and Oden.

In this year in history, Durant was able to pose such a threat to Oden's No. [-] pick.

But now, without Durant, the remaining Horford, Conley, etc., simply cannot have a chance.

Five minutes later, the camera returned to the stage, and Stern announced the selection of the Warriors amid a burst of familiar music.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2007, the Golden State Warriors chose Greg Oden, and the 2-meter center came from Ohio State University!"

Without any suspense, the Warriors selected Oden.

The Warriors fans at the scene had been waiting for a long time, and when the camera cut to them, the excitement in their eyes could not be hidden at all.

Livingston plus Durant, plus Oden.

Compared with the third young master of the Pacers team next door, this talent is much stronger!

Although Sun Hao will still be at the peak, O'Neal will eventually grow old.

When San Shao grows up, the future of the Warriors is worth looking forward to!

The camera cut back to Auden, and the young Auden with an "uncle face" couldn't hide his joy and walked onto the stage.

When shaking hands with Stern, he showed the character of a shy boy.

In history, Oden was frequently compared with O'Neal because of his outstanding talent during the draft.

But in addition to talent, he is also similar to O'Neal.

character.

He is also funny, friendly and warm.

This can be felt when he comes off the stage and is interviewed by reporters.

After Sun Hao listened to the interview, he could only wish Oden good luck.

But whether he can change the trajectory of his career like Milicic, perhaps only time will give the answer.

The draft is still going on.

The Trail Blazers selected Al Horford with the second pick.

Without Durant, Horford, who was beaten by Oden, is the best choice in this class.

The good news is that Horford's body is much healthier than Oden's, and he should be strong for a long time even if he goes to Portland.

The bad news is that the Trail Blazers already have Aldridge. Even if they change places, Horford will still inevitably play at the fifth position!

However, from Sun Hao's point of view, the combination of Roy + Aldridge + Horford has a lower limit that is much higher than that of Oden in history.

You must know that Horford is known as the "Ball Blindness Detector", and he is one of the rare insiders who can do everything and do it very well.

Combination of offense and defense, selfless style of play, superb second and third masters, and does not occupy the ball, it is too good for Roy and Aldridge.

The Trail Blazers will become a big dark horse in the West in the new season.

The Timberwolves selected Mike Conley with the third overall pick.

This draft pick is quite tortuous. First, the Celtics traded from the Grizzlies, and then traded to the Timberwolves in the Garnett trade.

In the end, because the Grizzlies were really bad and the Timberwolves were lucky, they got the No. [-] pick directly.

The Timberwolves now have Jefferson, who averaged 20+10 per game after being traded to the forest, and his performance is quite dazzling.

So they will definitely pick an outside line.

Among all the perimeter players, Conley is the best one.

As Oden's college teammate, Conley's academic style can only be described as solid.

His upper limit may not be too high, but his lower limit must never be lower. He is the kind of player who can steadily become a quasi-All-Star or All-Star.

There is nothing wrong with this choice of the Timberwolves. The twin star combination of him and Jefferson is good enough.

Then cultivate a striker who can play, and even occupy a place in the West.

The Sonics selected Jeff Green with the fourth overall pick.

This is fate, and Green still did not escape the fate of going to Seattle in the end.

However, without Durant, Green has received more training in the Sonics, and his future should be much better than in history.

The Timberwolves selected Corey Brewer with the fifth overall pick.

This draft pick is their own. As mentioned earlier, with the outside and inside, the rest is the striker.

This year's NCAA finals, between the University of Florida and Ohio State University, can be said to be star-studded.

On the Ohio State side, Oden and Conley have a No. [-] pick and a No. [-] pick.

For the University of Florida, Horford is the second pick, and then Brewer is the fifth pick. Noah is the only one who has not been picked.

Brewer was called "the commander of the cavalry company" by domestic fans, and his popularity was once quite high.

However, he should be a player who adapts to the failure of the NBA. His offensive talent has not been displayed in the NBA, but his defense is good.

There is nothing wrong with the choice of the Timberwolves, but it should be regarded as a type of misjudgment.

And what's interesting is that Conley and Brewer, the NCAA opponents, became NBA teammates.

As I said before, the NBA circle is really small sometimes.

The Bobcats selected Brandon Wright with the sixth pick.

The Pacers selected Joakim Noah with the seventh overall pick.

Sun Hao was a little surprised when he saw the Pacers' choice.

Because of that, Monta Ellis, Granger, Luol Deng, Noah.

Since he entered the NBA, this is the first time he has seen this kind of talent piled up in a team's youth army.

So he doesn't know what the Pacers will look like in the future.

There are too many uncertain factors in this kind of team.

……

The draft went quickly, and after the Pacers traded the 14th pick from the Cavaliers to select Ronnie Stuckey, the lottery picks were all gone.

This year is not considered a draft year, and when the lottery comes out, there will be more transactions.

That is, when it was around the 20th pick, Stern announced a relatively large three-way deal.

The three parties involved in the transaction are the Lakers, Cavaliers and Suns.

The Suns sent their 25th overall pick and Kurt Thomas to get Al Harrington from the Lakers;

The Cavaliers traded Lamar Odom for the 25th overall pick from the Suns, the 22nd overall pick and Kurt Thomas from the Lakers.

The Lakers sent Al Harrington and the 22nd overall pick to Lamar Odom.

Needless to say, the Suns and Lakers are very suitable reinforcements for each.

The key point is Odom. He was a waste of more than half of the Cavaliers last season, and his transaction value also plummeted.

The Cavaliers can still use him to exchange for two late first-rounders, plus a substitute insider who can still fight stably, which is considered to be a timely stop loss.

And this deal also confirms that they still choose Milicic and Bargnani as the future of the team's interior.

After the transaction was completed, the Cavaliers selected Rudy Fernandez with the 22nd overall pick in their hands!

After seeing this choice, Sun Hao immediately called Fernandez who was still in Europe to congratulate him.

This congratulations come from the heart.

This guy who was the most familiar with him in Spain at the beginning, tried to have an affair with him, and would also be the godfather of his children, went to a very suitable team.

In history, Fernandez's time in the NBA is not too long, and he only stayed for four seasons together.

It's not that he can't survive in the NBA, but because of a psychological gap.

He always felt that he should get a starting position and get more opportunities, but whether it was in the Trail Blazers or the Nuggets, he didn't get it.

But if you go to the Cavaliers now, the Cavaliers have excellent internal strength but no one on the outside. Fernandez will have a chance to start as soon as he goes.

As for not being able to play for the Lakers as one wished, opportunities are obviously more important than those.

But after the draft, Kupchak called.

Because Fernandez is also one of the Lakers' alternate targets, now they can only choose someone else.

Sun Hao's advice is very simple, little Gasol!

In the current situation, there is no more suitable choice for Gasol to succeed O'Neal in the future.

But sometimes in the draft, you never know what will happen in the next second.

Not long after Sun Hao and Kupchak finished the phone call, Stern announced another deal soon.

After sending out next year's second round and some cash, the Grizzlies bought the 23rd pick from the Bulls.

Then, they used this pick to select Gasol Jr.!

Sun Hao never expected that the Grizzlies would do this.

While the deal itself doesn't seem outlandish given that the Grizzlies have no first-round picks this year, they'll certainly be looking to trade one.

And this year is not a draft year, and the picks at the end of the first round are not worth much.

In addition, the Bulls have a neat lineup, and there is no time to train rookies.
