Legend of Tomorrow

Brian successfully submitted his selection, and the president announced that the Suns selected Klay Thompson with the 16th pick.

Guo Xu suddenly felt a little empty. It seemed that he could play casually during the holiday. This is the rhythm of the finale of next season.

The biggest reason why Thompson is not favored is that he was arrested by the police for carrying marijuana in early March this year. Many scouts believe that he will still be a marijuana lover in the future and will become a fool sooner or later.

In training camp, Thompson said in an interview. Yeah, I think it's a little bit ridiculous to think like that. I'm not going to risk hurting my draft stock for something like this. I've put this thing in the past tense. I might be on a drug test in the NBA, right. I said OK, I'm sure I won't risk it again because I want to fulfill my potential... I don't smoke anymore, I'm being honest.

Many scouts may believe Thompson's words, but his subsequent physical test data made most teams lose interest.

His naked foot height is 197cm and his weight is 93kg, which makes him slightly thin. He only did 5 reps on the 185-pound bench press test, while Curry could do 10 reps in the physical test. The most embarrassing thing is his jumping ability. The maximum take-off height is only 80CM. It is no exaggeration to say that even in the Chinese CBA, the swingman's jumping performance is only average.

Thompson was depressed after he fell out of the lottery. He was relieved when he was selected by the Suns. He smiled happily when he put on his rookie hat and took the stage. He firmly believes that he will adapt to the Suns' tactical system and cooperate with Guo Xu tacitly.

Thompson knew Guo Xu 10 years ago, when he was an 11-year-old primary school student. His father, Mitchell, has been the Lakers' on-field commentator for many years, and he was fortunate enough to get autographs and take photos with Lakers stars.

There are also some outstanding rookies outside the lottery who have been selected one after another. Tobias Harris was selected by the Grizzlies, an outstanding forward. The Grizzlies strengthened their weakest wing.

Motiejunas was selected by the Magic. He is an insider with skills and range. I wonder how he will perform in the Magic.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Motel was a model of committing suicide and left behind an interesting story.

In the 14-15 season, he played 71 games for the Rockets, averaging 12 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Originally, the Rockets offered Motel a four-year, 37 million offer, but he verbally rejected it and wanted a bigger contract. As a result, Motel was injured and his condition declined severely in the last year of his rookie season. In the end, he could only sign a minimum salary with the Pelicans, and was eliminated by the NBA.

The Nuggets selected Orc Kenneth Faried.

The Thunder drafted Reggie Jackson.

A defender with strong offensive ability.

The Mavericks drafted swingman Jordan Hamilton. This rookie is very interesting. He fell to the bottom few in the first round, but he has super confidence.

He said in a high-profile interview: I think I have a chance to become the rookie scoring leader in the new season. I have this confidence.

However, no, Guo Xu's only impression of this person was that of a glass man. He retired after playing for a few seasons.

The 30th pick was another Suns pick, and Bryan chose Jimmy Butler, who was later called Jordan's illegitimate son.

Butler, who is 201cm tall and weighs 104kg, has super physical fitness. The disadvantage is that his wingspan is only 202cm. He played four years in college and averaged 15.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists last season. He was considered a blue-collar defensive player by scouts, so he fell to the bottom of the first round.

However, Guo Xu knew that this was a future All-Star, and he would improve every year to become a point forward.

He is good both offensively and defensively, and is a weakened version of James. Although the Suns already have Roy, it would be useless if they don't select him with the 30th pick.

Butler will have little opportunity to perform next season and can only be a marginal player. In the future, when veteran Hill retires, he can become the main rotation. When Richardson can't play, he will almost be ready.

The Suns have assembled an All-Star lineup again. If several newcomers are in their prime, other teams will be completely unable to play. Guo Xu is preparing to play health basketball next season and leaves the task of holding the ball and attacking in positional battles to his teammates. He concentrates on assisting.

If things continue like this, the Suns will definitely win more championships. Guo Xu can't predict exactly how many championships there will be. It's safe to surpass Russell. By then, Guo Xu's nickname will be King of the Rings.

By drafting according to the idea of ​​a reborn player, it is easy to complete the reconstruction. Not to mention that the Suns only move a few people, even if they all leave, Guo Xu can quickly gather a group of reliable teammates who are suitable for the team system.

The second round of this draft can also be a treasure hunt. There are many role players and stars who have played well.

The Rockets selected Chandler Parsons. Through data analysis, manager Morey firmly believes that Parsons has a future. This is a small forward who can provide outside firepower, can also pass the ball, and does not occupy the ball.

Morey is a manager who is good at analyzing data and looking at cost-effectiveness. He often makes mistakes in recruiting big-name stars, but he is very accurate in finding role players.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Parsons was nicknamed Gao Fushuai and he played very well in the Rockets. However, he degenerated as soon as he signed a big contract and became a garbage contract with high salary and low ability.

The Pacers selected Davis Beilstein, a forward who is good at shooting. No one would have thought at this time that he did not join the NBA until 2016, when his signing rights had been sent to the Spurs.

The Suns selected 175cm small point guard Isaiah Thomas with the 60th pick.

Jeremy Lin was immediately under great pressure and suspected that he would be waived in the summer. His second-year contract was a team option and was not guaranteed. Last season, he was just a marginal player in the team, spending most of his time in the Development League looking for a feel.

However, the Suns management is not planning to lay off Xiao Linzi, but is preparing to trade Dragic. After the end of next season, there will definitely be teams poaching Dragic at a premium. It is better to just send him away in exchange for draft picks to achieve a win-win situation.

Like Lowry, Dragic also wants to start in other teams and get more ball rights. His confidence has been demonstrated. He also wanted to get a big contract and proposed a deal at the championship celebration party.

Since joining the Suns in 2008, Dragic has been lucky enough to win three consecutive championships with the team. He has no shortage of honors. He will not be traded for the time being until the lockout is over.

Little Assassin Thomas also has no choice but to choose. He has great potential and is very suitable to be the sixth man. He is different from Butler. He has excellent immediate combat ability, sharp breakthroughs and can shoot three-pointers. He fell to this position because of a defensive black hole.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Thomas was one of the most tragic players in the NBA.

In the peak season of 2016-17, Thomas was known as the Strongest 175 on Earth. He averaged only 33.8 minutes per game, scoring 28.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists.

That year, Thomas Jr. played through injuries and endured the pain of his sister's death to help the Green Army reach the Eastern Conference Finals. As a result, Ainge felt that he had an injury risk, so he abandoned him in the summer and used him as a bargaining chip in exchange for Cavaliers point guard Irving.

Next season, Thomas was reduced from an All-Star point guard to a situation without the ball due to injuries. He changed from a high-paying long-term contract to joining the Nuggets with a minimum salary. He ruined his career by making sacrifices for the team in the playoffs.

He once called Anji and said he wanted to return to the Celtics, but Anji cruelly rejected him. The Green Army didn't even have a place for him as a substitute.

After joining the Suns, Thomas' destiny can be changed if he learns to play healthy basketball with Guo Xu.

These three rookies will stay with the Suns, and the lockout will not affect the team's reinforcements. Several core players are under contract.

At this time, the sun's summer reinforcement work is almost complete. After the lockout is over, all that remains is to trade Dragic. It doesn't matter if you don't change players, or you can sign a capable veteran from the free market.
