Legend of Tomorrow

This choice of the Suns surprised everyone. Looking at Marc Gasol's draft template, you can see how undervalued he is. Does anyone know Todd Marcculoch?

Experts generally believe that Gasol Jr. cannot gain a foothold in the NBA. Unlike his older brother, Pau Gasol, his athletic ability is very weak, far below the NBA average, because he is too heavy. Slow movement makes Gasol easy to be defended when he plays hard in the paint, and his assist defense ability is not very good.

However, Guo Xu knows that Gasol is one of the five most worthy players in this year's draft and has the potential to become an All-Star. He is indeed slow, but he was able to successfully lose weight later, has shooting ability and organizational skills, and is very good at playing. Divac is his template.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Gasol was selected to the All-Star Game three times, was elected NBA Defensive Player of the Year in the 2012-13 season, and was selected to the NBA All-NBA Second Team and the NBA All-Defensive Second Team.

As the 48th overall pick in the second round, it can be said that Gasol has been underestimated as never before. He is as good as his brother, averaging 19.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 blocks per game at his peak, shooting 45.9% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range.

It’s not surprising that scouts made mistakes. The European meat shield insiders before Gasol did not develop well in the NBA, such as Greek center Tsakalidis, who was selected by the Suns in the first round with the 15th pick. Signing mid-level players like Nesterovic is considered very successful.

Guo Xu asked for Gasol, and his boss Brian did not hesitate. He believed that the experienced Haslem could help him lose weight.

He felt that since they were brothers and the two Gasols had played together since childhood, their playing styles should be similar. He made a lot of money by signing a weakened version of Gasol at the end of the first round.

Gasol was injured this year, and the Grizzlies' record dropped sharply. The insiders with the ability to support are very strong, and almost all of them are highly paid.

Also a meat shield center, Gasol's offensive ability is far better than Varejao. When Varejao's contract expires next year, the Suns can release Varejao if a team offers a premium contract.

Moreover, Gasol also has a contract in Europe and will not be able to land in the NBA until 2008. He will train in Europe next season and there will be no problem of difficult distribution of ball rights inside.

Gasol was very happy after watching the live broadcast at home. He did not expect that he would be selected in the first round and join the defending champion Suns. This means that he has a high chance of winning the championship in the future.

There are also several good role players in the second round this year.

The SuperSonics, preparing to rebuild, drafted Carl Landry and Glen Davis.

Both of them have the ability to become important rotations for the team. The manager has a good vision, as long as they are not traded away.

Josh McRoberts joined the Warriors on the 36th. This is a power forward with good physical fitness. He has outstanding jumping ability, can open up the space and shoot from long distances. He can occasionally send imaginative passes. His skills are very comprehensive. I don’t know how he fell into the second round.

The Lakers selected Sun Yue with the 40th pick in the second round. They had no shortage of players at the swingman position. They just wanted to attract the attention of Chinese fans. For Sun Yue, joining the Lakers is not a good thing. He won't get much playing time, and it will be difficult for him to win a championship ring.

Ramon Sessions, the point guard with the lowest overall pick, was drafted by the Bucks with the second to last pick. In Guo Xu’s previous life, Sessions had created a miracle. In his rookie season, he was troubled by injuries to the Bucks and was ordered to take over at the last moment. As a starter, he scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 24 assists in a single game, which shocked the entire league.

However, the Suns don't need these people at all if they are strong, and they can just sign them in the free market when they have vacancies. If there are too many new players, it will be useless. Next season the coaching staff can focus on training Roy, Lowry, and Millsap.

Guo Xu plans to wait until next year to sign two more rookies. 2008 will be the real draft year, and you can find treasures in the second round.

There were several trades in the draft. Guo Xu's hair was traded, and the Bulls wanted to further strengthen their inside strength. They traded Jason Richardson for Kings center Brad Miller and swingman Dengtae Jones.

The Bulls management knows that Yi Jianlian is not suitable to be a center. The team needs a big man who can resist. Miller has enough weight and excellent support ability. His range reaches beyond the three-point line and can help open up space for the defender.

Ironically, the Bulls gave Miller to the Pacers for almost nothing. He and Artest were packaged in exchange for Jaylen Rose, who was in decline. Now they have replaced the declining Miller with the 27-year-old Richardson. This manager is simply mentally ill.

Moreover, the Bulls' lineup after the trade is very unreasonable. Ben Gordon and Hinrich will suffer a lot in perimeter defense. It is also difficult for Miller to pair up with Yi Jianlian to defend the pick-and-roll. They will probably not even make the playoffs next season.

They believed that the positions of Richardson and Nocioni overlapped, so they chose to renew the cheaper Argentine player. The annual salary of 38 million for five years was much lower than Richardson's annual salary, but it would definitely be a bad contract in the future.

The Kings made a small profit. They replaced an outside scorer. Richardson's style of play can attract fans. After Miller leaves, he can also train rookie center Hawes.

The SuperSonics sent star guard Ray Allen and No. 35 pick Glen Davis to the Celtics in the East, acquiring point guard Delonte West, forward Szczerbiak and No. 3 pick. Horford.

It is possible that the big deal that formed the Big Three has happened. Guo Xu feels that it is the SuperSonics who have made the profit, and their strength will be terrifying in the future. In the previous life, the SuperSonics lacked a center, and it was not until they traded Kendrick Perkins from the Celtics that they emerged and reached the finals.

Horford is certainly much stronger than Perkins, and his partnership with Durant must be better than Jeff Green. Of course, the Sonics also have a hidden danger, that is, if the team rises early, I wonder if they can successfully select Westbrook and James Harden, and many things will be different.

The Green Army's trade of Horford also showed Guo Xu their determination to form the Big Three. The next step must be to poach Garnett, who has been unable to make it past the first round of the playoffs for many years.

Guo Xu feels that the Green Army has suffered a loss. They may be stronger than in their previous life, as long as Horford is retained. Also on the team are Al Jefferson and Kendrick Perkins. It seems that such an inside lineup does not require a trade for Garnett. Several young players have unlimited potential.

If the Greens don't trade for Ray Allen on the outside, they will have Rondo, Pierce, Szczerbiak, Rudy Gay, Tony Allen and others. The depth of the lineup is amazing. Although Gay was not reused last season and has been playing soy sauce, his potential is recognized.

After the transaction, the Green Army gained immediate combat effectiveness and gave up the future in order to compete for the championship in recent years.

The Rockets also made a deal on draft day, using a future second-round pick and cash to acquire forward Carl Landry, the first rookie in the second round, from the SuperSonics.

The Rockets' biggest weakness is the No. 4 position. Veteran Juwan Howard has been unable to be traded, and he can only get a bad contract if he sends him away, so Morey did not do so. His substitute was Scalabrine, whose performance was not as good as Howard. After Landry joined, he was a good complement to the Rockets' No. 4 position, and their lineup also became slightly stronger.

They turned off the TV after the draft broadcast, and Robert suggested going to the game room to play something.

Guo Xu was playing table tennis, a little absent-minded, thinking about which players he could pick up as teammates in the future.

Some players will probably not be able to play in a team that is not suitable for them...
