Legend of Tomorrow

Silver was wildly booed by fans during his speech, continuing the tradition of presidents being booed at NBA drafts.

The Timberwolves won the No. 1 pick and selected 213CM inside man Karl-Anthony Towns. His draft template is Andrew Bogut and Vlade Divac. He is very versatile and can shoot and coordinate.

The 76ers selected D'Angelo Russell with the second pick, a 196CM combo guard whose template is Brandon Roy and Ginobili.

Experts are not surprised by the 76ers' choice. The team has DeAndre Jordan as the center, and young post Nikola Jokic will also join next season. The team does not want to select new players to train inside unless they win the No. 1 pick. Downs.

Compared to players who like to dribble the ball for long periods of time, Russell is very selfless. He has excellent awareness of running without the ball, and his catch-and-shoot style is suitable for team operations. He also has good passing awareness and can switch between with and without the ball.

76ers fans believe that Russell is very suitable to partner with Kobe and does not require too much ball rights. Other fans feel that next season he will just be a role player who dribbles the ball across the half court and passes it out, and he will not have the ball if he wants it.

The Thunder used the No. 3 pick acquired from the Lakers to select Jahlil Okafor, a center who is 211cm tall, weighs 123kg and has a wingspan of 229cm. His template is Al Jefferson and Tim Duncan.

This is an important reason why the Thunder are willing to send Horford to make way for Okafor. Okafor will be the starting center next season, Kanter will be the starting power forward, and the starting position in the interior is certain.

According to media evaluation, Okafor's low-post offensive skills reached a near-perfect level when he was in college. His precise hook and soft fadeaway jumper made him particularly rare in the NCAA. He was once the favorite for the No. 1 pick, but was surpassed by Towns in the second half of the season, who seemed to have more potential, because of his average athletic ability.

Okafor averaged 17.3 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in the NCAA, and his shooting percentage was as high as 66.4%. His shortcomings are that he has no shooting range, his free throw shooting percentage is also low, and he is slow and has trouble defending pick-and-rolls.

After failing to join the Los Angeles team and going to play in Oklahoma City, Okafor looked vaguely disappointed after taking the stage.

The Knicks selected Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth pick, a 213cm tall and 100kg insider. He is still growing taller and will exceed 221cm in the future. The current template is Gasol and Bargnani.

The Knicks fans at the scene didn't buy it and booed the team's choice. Some young fans even cried in anger on the spot.

Because they have all seen what level the genuine Bargnani is. If they choose someone who uses him as a template, wouldn't that be a waste?

The Heat selected swingman Mario Hezonja with the fifth pick.

The Hawks selected big man Willie Cauley-Stein with the sixth pick, and the Nuggets selected combo guard Emmanuel Mudiay with the seventh pick...

There aren't many strong rookies this year, and Guo Xu has no impression of most of them. The Lakers used the No. 12 pick acquired from the Thunder to select swingman Devin Booker.

Booker is 198cm tall and weighs 93kg. His offensive skills are very comprehensive. He can attack with the ball or without the ball. He is an immediate combat power.

The Lakers can use Booker as a substitute to increase the firepower of the rotation. With him and Clarkson, the offense will not be too bad.

Booker and Guo Xu can start together. He is good at catching and shooting three-pointers, which was his specialty in college. In Guo Xu's previous life, Booker scored 28 points in the three-point contest and won the championship, breaking the historical record of the three-point contest.

Experts commented on Booker in their draft predictions: He will be selected at the end of the first round. There is no doubt that he has skills, and any team needs a shooter. He has an outstanding willingness to defend, but he is helpless in front of most of the league's explosive scorers.

Booker's offensive ability with the ball is completely unmentioned, which makes him likely to fall out of the lottery. In fact, how can someone who can score 70 points in a single game be just a spot-up shooter?

There are no strong players outside the lottery, and it will be difficult to score in double figures in the new season, but there are a few young prospects with good physical fitness.

The Lakers would have selected big man Larry Nance with the 27th pick in the first round. They had previously acquired this pick through a trade. At Guo Xu's instruction, Kupchak chose Montrezl Harrell instead.

Harrell is an insider with a height of 203cm, a weight of 109kg and a wingspan of 224cm. He played power forward and center in college.

Harrell is recognized as a beast, super explosive, and a dunk machine in the NCAA. He fell to the bottom of the first round because he has no shooting ability and rough offensive skills. He basically has no back-up skills when facing the frame, and he also needs to practice free throws. In addition, due to his aggressive personality, Harrell often gets into foul trouble.

Guo Xu hopes to have an insider around him who is suitable for small-ball tactics. He can cover and rebound. Occasionally, he will rush in front on a fast break, and Guo Xu is willing to pass the ball to him.

How strong is Harrell? In the 2017-18 season in the parallel world, he played for the Clippers, averaging 17.1 minutes per game, scoring 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.5 steals, 0.7 blocks, and shooting 63.5% from the field. He doesn't have any other skills. He just dunks when he rushes!

Even if the Lakers wanted to draft Nance, they couldn't. He was drafted by the Bucks in advance to make up for the vacancy left by Sanders. This is also a violent dunker, an insider famous for his dunks.

The Warriors selected Kevon Looney at the end, a power forward with excellent running and jumping ability.

Looney was invited to the Green Room to participate in the draft, almost fell to the second round, and then he accepted interviews with the media. Looney, who sat in the Little Green Room for a total of three hours, said: My body became stiff and a little sore from sitting there for so long.

The Lakers used the 3rd pick in the second round to select swingman Josh Richardson, who is 198cm tall and weighs 91kg.

Josh fell to the second round because he was too thin and had poor confrontation. This can be strengthened through exercise in the future.

Guo Xu has an impression of Josh. In the 2017-18 season, he became the Heat's starting small forward and was excellent both offensively and defensively. He averaged 12.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks in 33.2 minutes per game.

After joining the Lakers, Josh can also become an immediate player. In college, his biggest specialty was shooting three-pointers. He only needed to be able to catch and shoot well.

Last year Nick Young signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Lakers, and this summer is a player option. He played at the peak of his career last season, averaging 18.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He can definitely break out of the contract and pursue a high-paying long-term contract, but the Lakers may not be able to keep him.

Wesley Johnson only signed with the Lakers for a one-year minimum salary and averaged 9.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He will probably leave.

The Lakers are well-prepared for choosing multiple swingmen. After selecting these three rookies, plus the two people traded from the Thunder, Guo Xu is already very satisfied with the Lakers' lineup for the new season, and he is full of confidence to win the championship.

The biggest advantage of the Reborn is their vision. It doesn't matter if the management can't exchange for big-name stars. As long as they are willing to select people according to Guo Xu's requirements, the overall strength of the team will not be hopelessly bad.

Guo Xu dares to join the worst team. Personal ability is only one aspect. If it were the Lakers' lineup last season, he really couldn't lead it.

The only regret is that there is still such a huge hole in the team like Bosh. Managers of every team know what kind of disease thrombosis is, and the media have long reported the danger. Even if Bosh is cured this time, he may commit the disease again in the future. The only thing waiting for him next time he commits the disease is to retire.

Under this circumstance, it is impossible for any team manager to be willing to accept Bosh's high-paying long-term contract, which does not expire in four years.

After the Lakers gave Guo Xu a maximum salary, it was impossible to recruit stars to assist him, unless the All-Star players were willing to take a significant salary cut...
