Legend of Tomorrow

? The Raptors selected center Rafael Aruyu with the eighth pick. Guo Xu has no impression of this guy. He doesn’t know if he has played in the NBA. The Raptors management is simply blind.

What's even more amazing is that the Sonics selected small forward Luke Jackson with the ninth pick, a white player who is 201cm tall and weighs 98kg. He was born on November 6, 1981. He is older than Guo Xu. He has completed college and there is no potential at first glance.

He is also a swingman, but the Sonics didn't choose Iguodala. This is no longer blind. The scouts are simply blind. The team already has forwards Rashard Lewis and Radmanovic who can shoot, so what's the use of this guy?

Luke certainly has merit, and he was a legitimate star player in college. He is a typical white player who knows all skills and has shooting range, but has average physical fitness, similar to Jacobsen, who was drafted by the Suns in 2003.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Luke was selected by the Cavaliers and played a total of 73 games in his career with constant injuries.

The 76ers selected swingman Andre Iguodala with the 10th pick. When Guo Xu was reborn, he was still playing for the Warriors. He has amazing physical fitness, fast speed, strong strength, and a dunk king level jumping.

If he doesn't practice basketball, Iguodala can also practice track and field. His best high jump score is 210CM. In addition to high jump, he also practiced long jump. When he was a sophomore in high school, he was the second long jumper in Illinois.

Iguodala fell to this pick because his skills are too rough and his shooting is poor. He is defined by scouts as a blue-collar guy with a strong body. His strong muscles will affect his shooting feel. In two years of college, he played a total of 62 games, 34 starts, and averaged 9.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.53 steals per game.

The Cavaliers selected blue-collar center Andris Biedrins with the 11th pick.

The subsequent draft selections of each team have not changed much, and the players are not very popular. They are all selected after trial training, and there are rarely any cut-offs.

The Celtics, who lacked inside players, selected high school center Al Jefferson. With the 25th pick, they also selected a famous defensive player in the past, 193CM guard Tony Allen.

The Hawks used the exchanged picks to select Josh Smith, the Kings selected shooting guard Kevin Martin, who was a poor opponent, and the Lakers selected Sasha Vujacic, who is famous for dating Sharapova.

Megan yawned while watching the draft and could only play with the kitten. It was finally the Suns' turn to make a choice at No. 30. Brian followed Guo Xu's request and selected Brazilian insider Anderson Varejao.

This is the best choice for the Suns. It doesn't matter if Varejao doesn't speak English well enough. He has his buddy Nene on the team who can guest translate. He has perfected his English in the past two years.

Varejao is a big man with fair skin and a giggly smile. I don’t know why Brazil is rich in such athletes. There are also a bunch of Brazilian stars in football who like to grin with their teeth bared.

Varejao and Nene have represented the Brazilian national team in international competitions together. In 2003, they represented the Brazilian team and won the basketball championship at the Pan American Games.

In the 2000-01 season, Varejao played in the Brazilian domestic league and won the Brazilian League Most Valuable Player with averages of 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

In the 2003-04 season, he played 27 times in the ACB League, averaging 7.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, helping Barcelona win the ACB championship again. He played 18 games in the European League and averaged 8.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in 13 regular season games.

As a blue-collar player, Varejao's statistics are not impressive and he is 22 years old, so he will naturally not be high in the draft. But Guo Xu is very optimistic about him. In his previous life, he was a celebrity in the NBA. Because he is good at diving in games and causing offensive fouls by opponents, he is nicknamed the Brazilian Movie King by fans.

In the previous life, the Cavaliers made a lot of money by trading Varejao from the Magic. He is a defensive insider with high energy and is good at defending pick-and-rolls. The disadvantage is that he is a bit brittle and was frequently injured later in his career. In addition, his offense is average and he occasionally shows off mid-range shots. He has no low-post ability and relies on air cuts and offensive rebounds for scoring.

Varejao was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team in the 2009-10 season. He was a bit underestimated after being selected only once. The Cavaliers, regardless of Big Z Ilgauskas, Gooden or O'Neal at the end of his career, were slow to move and unable to defend. Good pick-and-roll, he needs to make up for the leaks.

The Suns drafted Varejao at the end of the first round, which is a great deal and he can definitely make a difference.

After the team wins the championship, the value of the players on the team will increase. Some accounts and management have made it very clear that when the rookie contract expires, the Suns will definitely only be able to keep one of Nene and Stoudemire, and the inside will need a replacement.

The Suns' interior lineup is now super strong, but they cannot work together for too long. Even blue-collar center Diop may be poached in the future, because he proved in the playoffs that he can guard O'Neal alone. Varejao is a great addition, has more defensive coverage, and his rookie salary for four years is much lower than Diop.

The Suns' second-round draft also went smoothly, selecting swingman Trevor Ariza with the 42nd overall pick.

Guo Xu's candidate is Greek combo guard Vaslis Spanoulis. This guy seems to be okay as a sixth man. He has sharp breakthroughs and is good at attacking with the ball. At the 2006 World Championships in the previous life, the American Dream Team couldn't guard Spann, and they couldn't even use several man defenses in turns.

Spann's shortcoming is his positioning. He is a 193CM shooting guard and suffers on the defensive end. He is not good at shooting three-pointers and must hold the ball to exert his power. In the NBA, unless you meet a coach who is willing to train him and let him attack with the ball as a sixth man, he will not be able to play well.

In his previous life, Spahn was unlucky and had a very miserable life. He didn't land in the NBA until 2006, and then was eliminated by Van Gundy...

Ariza, who is 203cm tall and weighs 98kg, is the first choice. Chinese fans will definitely be familiar with this person in his previous life. He joined the Rockets twice and won the 2009 championship with the Lakers. In 2018, he lived up to his reputation as iron scum in the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals. He made 0 of 12 shots and 0 of 9 three-pointers, which devastated the Rockets.

Most of the time his shooting is solid, but Ariza has always been active in the league because of his excellent defense.

Ariza has always been an underestimated player in his previous life. He does not have the ability or aura of a star, but he is a very practical player. His height and wingspan allow him to defend anyone on the outside, and he has a certain three-point shooting ability. Has the ability to speed up offense and counterattack, and can occasionally serve as a power forward.

In the Wizards' peak season of 2013-14, he averaged 35.4 minutes per game, scored 14.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals, shooting 45.6% from the field, 40.7% from three-point range, and 77.2% from free throws.

Ariza has never been selected to the All-Defensive Team because there are too many good defensive forwards in the league. In the early days, it was Garnett, Artest, Battier, James, and later Leonard, George, etc., but the unknown Ariza could not get his turn.

Guo Xu had some selfish motives for suggesting that Ariza should be selected. The team must have offensive teammates as well as defensive players. If the team is full of offensive players, he must share a lot of ball rights, so how can he produce luxurious statistics? ah?

After the draft, Guo Xu called Brian and said with a smile: Bryan, you picked well. I am 99% sure to lead the team to win the championship in the new season. I deliberately removed the remaining 1% to make it look useless. So proud.

Brian felt happy. As long as you like it, I completely believe in your ability.

Let's wait and see next season when we beat the entire league.

After the draft, Guo Xu doesn't have to worry about the depth of the Suns' lineup in the short term, just fine-tuning. Even if no more powerful players join in the free market, the Suns are still a super team.

The Suns have completely retained the core of last season and added new blood. They already have the foundation to build a dynasty. (https:)
