I'm an NBA goalie

Chapter 274
Wang Dachun's words made Kevin Pritchard a little surprised.

He's surprisingly not DeMarcus Cousins.

The surprise was Paul George.

He didn't expect Wang Dachun to have such a high opinion of Paul George.

Of course, he also knows that Paul George is capable.

After all, it is impossible to enter the lottery zone without strength.

As the general manager of an NBA team, he knows it well.

Although Paul George has entered the lottery, he is not favored by everyone.

It might even fall out of the lottery.

There are many reasons for saying this.

First of all, Paul George’s university, Fresno State’s western competitive league level is not high, although he averaged 16.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.2 steals per game in his sophomore season, and his free throw percentage was 90.6%.

But this is not convincing.

After all, a high-level arena is where strength is confirmed.

If the university he attended was Duke or North Carolina, Kentucky and other famous basketball schools, his pick would probably be higher.will also be more favorable.

But no longer favored.

With Paul George's pick, it is impossible to fall into the hands of the Trail Blazers.

So Kevin Pritchard just listened to Wang Dachun's evaluation of Paul George.

But after listening to it, I couldn't help remembering it in my heart.

……

As time passed, the results of the draft gradually surfaced.

The Wizards selected John Wall with the No. [-] overall pick.

The No. 76 [-]ers chose Ivan Turner.

The Nets selected Derek Favors.

DeMarcus Cousins ​​was selected fifth overall by the Kings.

Paul George didn't have a big accident, and was selected by the Pacers with the 10th overall pick.

……

Soon to be the 21st pick.After the Thunder team selected.

It's the Trail Blazers' turn to make a selection.

"Are you sure you want to draft Hassan Whiteside now? His projected pick fell out of the first round. We can use our second round pick to draft him?"

The slip is about to be delivered, and Kevin Pritchard is making the final checks.

He has no objection to Wang Dachun's selection of Hassan Whiteside at the 22nd pick.

After all, the main purpose of this draft is to help Wang Dachun find another substitute.

Wang Dachun's current substitute is Joel.

This heavy center who once made a lot of contributions to the Trail Blazers.

But this is "once" after all.

As the overall strength of the Trail Blazers increases.and changing tactics.

Joel obviously couldn't get used to it.

The Trail Blazers currently have only the two of them at center.

This is already very little.

If there is no reinforcement, once there is an injury problem.

The inside line of the Trail Blazers is in danger.

So choosing a center in this draft is the top priority.

But knowing that he has a relatively low pick, but choose with a high pick?Kevin Pritchard felt a little wasted.

"There are not many centers available in this draft, except for Cousins ​​and Favors, Whiteside is the best.

Although his predicted pick is relatively low, we still have to prevent nights and dreams. What should we do if there is a situation where he is cut off? "

This is really not Wang Dachun's nonsense.

Nor is it because Whiteside is in the same agency as him.

The focus of his selection of forwards is to look at the defense first.

After all, the Trail Blazers already have a lot of offensive points.

It doesn't need a backup center's offensive power to be strong.

And Wang Dachun thinks.

Compared with Cousins, the two offensive-oriented centers.

Whiteside is more suitable for the Trail Blazers at this stage.

This time Kevin Pritchard really didn't believe Wang Dachun's words.

"Come on, are so many teams in the league blind? How can a player who can be compared with the third and fifth picks fall out of the first round in the draft prediction?"

There was no other way, Kevin Pritchard didn't know that Wang Dachun could see the player's stats.So I didn't know that I had picked up the treasure.

After the note was handed in, the result was announced soon.

After Wang Dachun took the stage in Whiteside, he also left the box.

He was about to say hello to Whiteside.

After all, they are their own people.As a senior, he still needs to show some enthusiasm.

……

Whiteside was emotional when he came off the stage.

Although he knew early on from his ""boss"" that he would definitely be selected.

But he didn't expect to be selected so high in the draft.

Especially now that he still sees it.Wang Dachun, his future boss.

Now I am waiting for him under the stage, as if I want to say hello to him.It became more excited.

"Thank you, Wang, thank you for choosing me with such a high pick! I'm so happy!"

Wang Dachun looked at the excited Whiteside.Still have a little emotion.

"I didn't expect that I now have the ability to improve the ranking of others!"

"You don't need to thank me. The reason why I chose you is because you have this ability. I also hope that after you come to the Trail Blazers, you can show your ability."

After Wang Dachun finished expressing his emotions, he first pretended to be a coward in front of his future younger brother.

"Yeah, sure, I will work hard! But I still want to thank you! Give me a chance to show my strength!"

……

Wang Dachun and Whiteside chatted briefly, and then returned to the box.

The draft is not over yet, he still has things to do.

After all, there is one option left.

"I don't know if we can get Jordan Crawford with our second-round pick. After all, this guy played 10 points in college!"

"It doesn't matter. The styles of Jordan Crawford and Landry Fields are relatively close. It's the same to choose them."

Wang Dachun didn't know how these two people were before, but after he had seen the data of the two, to him there was not much difference between them.

One can do everything, but is not good at anything.

One is that except for three points, everything else is average.

The Trail Blazers don't seem to be too short of such people at the moment.

At least Rudy Fernand and Maltai are these two types.

As the order continues to be announced.

The Trail Blazers don't need to worry about whether to choose Jordan Crawford.

Because Jordan Crawford was selected by the Nets with the 27th overall pick.

The Trail Blazers don't have to make a choice.

……

After returning to Portland, Wang Dachun did not stop.

After packing up all the stuff and presents.

As Rebecca got on the plane to China, he was finally going home.

But before going home, he must first go to the city where Li Yanan's team is located, and finish the first charity football match first.

But he is not the first wave of stars to arrive in China, Beckham and Pierce, because they have traveled to China before, and now they have arrived in China.

He can only be regarded as the second group of people.

As the host, he still has a lot of preparatory work to do.
