Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 825 [3 rookies, pick them up if they’re cheap]

The Bobcats selected 18-year-old point guard DJ Augustin with the ninth pick, which makes people confused about the purpose of the management, because the team selected short point guard Raymond Felton in 2005. \u003cщ

If the Bobcats don't trade Augustin in the summer, he will only be able to come off the bench and play few minutes in the new season. If he and Felton play on the perimeter together, he won't have to defend.

The Kings selected high center Brook Lopez with the 10th pick. The manager was very excited because Lopez was their number one target and no one should be surprised if he fell to this position. What the Kings lack most is a center, and just one Hawes is not enough.

Lopez is one of the best insiders in this draft. He is 21cm tall and weighs 125kg. He has a stable mid-range shot and excellent low-post footsteps, and has super offensive ability.

The Bulls selected Jason Thompson with the 11th pick against the lanky big man who was inferior.

The Pistons selected combo guard Jerry Bayless with the 12th pick. After sending Billups away, they had to worry about finding a defender.

With the first pick, the Warriors selected power forward Anthony Randolph, a lanky inside man with strong athletic ability.

The Nuggets selected swingman Brandon Rush with the 14th pick, which is the swingman they desperately need. Last season, two small guards, Anthony Carter and Iverson, were often bombed on the outside. Jr. Smith's defense was not very good when he came off the bench.

The Timberwolves selected Robin Lopez with the 15th pick, selecting a center backup for Al Jefferson. There are many high-quality insiders this year, and any one of them will be an excellent defensive blue-collar player. In Guo Xu's previous life, Robin was still a center for the Bulls in 2018 and was an excellent human shield.

Guo Xu watched the draft live on TV and was not worried at all that the Suns would not be able to select suitable players. He had already provided Brian with 4 lists, three first choices and one backup.

The Suns have three draft picks this year, No. 2 in the first round, No. 28 in the first round, and No. 4 in the second round. Two of the picks came from a trade with the Magic. One was the team's first-round pick, and the team's second-round pick was traded out.

The Raptors selected Marlis Speights with the 16th pick. He is a 208cm tall and 116kg insider. He is a good match for Bosh. He is strong enough to withstand people and has the ability to shoot. He is just a little shorter.

The Pacers selected center Roy Hibbert with the 17th pick. In the future, he will be a superstar against Bosh, and a Gao Yuanyuan strange player against others.

The Grizzlies selected JaVale McGee with the 18th pick.

This result makes the Grizzlies management very satisfied. McGee is 21cm tall and weighs 122kg.

With a wingspan of 229, he has super physical fitness and the potential to become a super defensive player. He fell to this position because his skills were too rough and he lacked range.

The 76ers selected Hickson with the 19th pick. The previous draft picks by each team had many similarities with Guo Xu's memory of his previous life. This year, it was all messed up. There are too many butterfly effects. Each team's ranking and strength have changed, and the players they need are also different.

The Nets selected center Alex Ajinca with the 20th pick to further strengthen the interior. In the previous life, the Nets selected the withdrawn inside man Ryan Anderson. Now that the team has David Lee, the management has changed its mind.

The Hornets selected Ryan Anderson with the 21st pick. They lacked a power forward. Last season, Lewis was a guest at the 4th position. He was very poor in confrontation and control of rebounds. Anderson's style is very suitable for partnering with Paul, and he is good at catching and shooting.

The Eagles selected center Costa Koufos with the 22nd pick, a blue-collar player who is 21 tall and weighs 120 kilograms. Half a season later, the Hawks coaching staff knew that Murphy could no longer play center. He only rebounded a lot in the backcourt, and his defense was still very poor.

Finally it was the Suns' turn. They selected Serge Ibaka with the second pick. He is 2.08cm tall, weighs 110kg and has a wingspan of 226cm. He can play both the center and power forward positions.

Ibaka's draft template is the famous Rain Man Kemp, which shows how amazing his physical fitness is. The reason why he fell to No. 2 and no one cares about him is because he has a two-year contract with a Spanish team and cannot log into the NBA immediately.

He has the speed of a small forward, slam dunk contest-level jumping, and a certain mid-range shooting ability. If he could join the NBA immediately, he would definitely be a lottery pick.

The Suns will keep Ibaka to train in Spain next season and do not need him to join the team to become an immediate player. Because there is no shortage of insiders in the team now, only one of him and Gasol can get enough playing time.

The Suns did not encounter competition in selecting Ibaka. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Thunder traded for the No. 24 pick to select Ibaka because of the lack of insiders. This year they did not trade the pick and already had Al Horford on the team. He has stronger overall ability and has the potential to become an All-Star.

The Mavericks selected swingman Courtney Lee, a good immediate role player.

The Lakers selected Darrell Arthur, a power forward who is 2.06cm tall and weighs 107kg. He has mid-range shooting ability and good athletic ability. There are too many strong men on the wings in the team, and they missed the swingman Batum.

The Jazz selected French teenager Nicolas Batum. Quentin Richardson performed poorly last season, shooting less than 40% from the field. Batum can be a substitute for him and Kirilenko at the 2 and 2 positions.

The Cavaliers selected swingman Dante Green. In his previous life, the Rockets traded him for Artest, a guy who was only good at pull-up jumpers and gambled on touch. An unexpected outbreak occurred in the summer league.

The Spurs selected combo guard George Hill, a player they had long been optimistic about.

It was the Suns' turn to choose again, and they selected center DeAndre Jordan.

DeAndre Jordan, who was invited into the Green Room to participate in the draft, was anxious to death when he saw that he was about to fall into the second round. He had top physical fitness, but his skills were too rough. He was beaten by almost all insiders in the training camp, and his draft evaluation dropped again and again. . Just looking at his body, he is better than top picks like Bogut and Bargnani.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Jordan's skills and shooting skills could not be developed, so he looked down upon this pure blue-collar player. However, the team's first-round pick Jordan is obviously the most cost-effective, and he will also be the most valuable bargaining chip if traded in the future.

When there is no clear draft target, it is right to choose a center with good physical fitness. Many teams will be willing to bet on his talent.

After joining the Suns, Jordan is not completely useless. He is very fast after picking and rolling, and if he is passed to him, he will dunk. If the opponent commits a timely foul, it will be more torturous. His teammates have to watch him take free throws, and he will often miss three free throws.

There are also some good role players in the second round. Center Pekovic, who is temporarily unable to land in the NBA, was selected by the Trail Blazers and may encounter a curse.

The Timberwolves selected point guard Mario Chalmers, who was not favored at all in this year's NAA semifinals.

The Bucks drafted Luke Richard Mbah a Moute, a defensive-minded wing.

Bulls draft center Omer Asik…

When it came time for the Suns to make a choice, Bryan chose Slovenian player Goran Dragic, a combo guard who is 1.9cm tall and weighs 86kg.

Dragic has excellent ball control skills and his shooting range reaches beyond the three-point line. In Guo Xu's previous life, he was an excellent second-rate star. In his peak season of 2016-17, he averaged 7 minutes per game with the Heat, scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 58 assists, shooting 475 from the field and 405 from the three-point range.

Joining the Suns is bad news for Dragic. He has to be the substitute for Guo Xu and Lowry. Even if he can play as a shooting guard, he will not be able to play for a long time. He was targeted by the Reborn. Guo Xu felt that he was a fool not to take advantage of the advantages and left Dragic to other teams. Those people would not thank Guo Xu and let him go without renewing his contract after a few years. That’s it.

After this selection, there is no strong player in the second round.
