This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 110 2006 Draft Preview
"I believe that there will be teams willing to use the lottery pick to sign you, and there is a high probability that it will still be the top ten pick."

Thomas Myers also held a copy of Sports Illustrated magazine, and said swearingly: "The managers of the lottery teams are not all idiots. In fact, those NBA team managers are all smart people." .”

"Your picks are soaring in an extremely crazy situation on all major draft ranking websites."

The 18+6+5 data of the regular season and regional championships is not eye-catching.

But Zhou Lin, who entered Crazy Three, released almost all his energy, and the more important games showed blowout data.

There is a statistic that shows Zhou Lin's strength.

In the four games of Crazy March, Zhou Lin scored a total of 94 points, averaging 23.5 points, 5.75 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game. He is also the second total score so far, and can basically become the total score of the game in the next round king.

Because Randy Foye's Villanova University Wildcats, who scored first in the first four rounds, had already lost to the University of Florida Gators in the last round, and his scoring in the first four rounds was only higher than that of Zhou Lin It was only 1 point, and the third place was Glenn Davis from the University of Louisiana, who scored 75 points after four rounds of competition.

Not only the total score, Zhou Lin's scoring average can also be ranked in the top ten.

The current authoritative and most demanding NBA.draft predicts that Zhou Lin will be ranked 11th in the current draft.

The latest draft pick is specifically.

First pick: Andrea Bargnani (from the Italian League Treviso Basketball Club)

The player who is still playing in the Italian league has a height of seven feet and a soft and delicate touch. He has to be reminiscent of Dirk Nowitzki. He has a high probability of becoming the first player to come out of Europe. The No. [-] pick in the NBA, at this time, the Texas team named the Dallas Mavericks has already tasted the sweetness of owning a German chariot, allowing the Mavericks to successfully enter the ranks of championship contenders. To a certain extent, it has also improved the outside world's judgment on big men of the same type.

Second pick: Adam Morris (from Gonzaga)
He is also a tall white pitcher. Looking at his game, it is easy to think of the NBA legend "Big Bird" Larry Bird in terms of appearance and style of play. In his senior season, he became the NCAA scoring leader. , and shot 43% of the three-pointers this year. He can't jump high and run fast, but he can score at the critical moment every time. A comeback, regrettably lost, and as a diabetic, he needs to inject insulin before every game to play, which is enough to be respected by all opponents.

No. [-] pick: LaMarcus Aldridge (from Texas)

Aldridge's Texas Longhorns fell to the hands of West Virginia University in the regional semifinals, and the latter immediately declared for the draft. He is recognized as the player with the richest inside offensive means among the players participating in the draft. The player, 6-foot-11 height allows him to serve as a 4/5 switch.

Fourth pick: Tyrus Thomas (from LSU)

Tyrus Thomas, with a height of 12 meters, an inside spring man, a violent power forward, and strong physical fitness. The Louisiana State University Tigers led by him and Glenn Davis have reached the final four. With an average of 9+19 per game, the [-]-year-old has unlimited potential and is coveted by many teams.

Fifth pick: Sheldon Williams (from Duke)
Duke University players are very popular in the NBA, and Sheldon Williams, who has been polished under the old coach K for four years, is the only player in the entire ACC league with a total of 1500+ points and 1000+ rebounds in his career. One of the players with 350 blocks and 150 steals, the best defensive player in the ACC league, although Duke University fell on the battlefield of the sweet 16, but at the age of 22, he will become the striker that many teams covet combat power.

Sixth Pick: Randy Foye (from Villanueva University)

Randy Foye from Villanueva University. Randy Foye, who just finished the crazy three games, is the best combo guard this year, and may also be the best point guard. After the 2006 class with a shortage of high-quality point guards, Randy Foye will get the attention of many teams.

Seventh Pick: Brandon Roy (from University of Washington)

The University of Washington once again fell on the battlefield of the Sweet Sixteen and was eliminated by the dark horse George Mason University Patriots. He announced his candidacy after graduation. He is the best offensive guard this year, not even one of them. He has a mature His control skills and confrontation level can also seamlessly connect to the NBA. Of course, his speed and explosive power will affect his development, but he will make up for it with a very high ball quotient on both offensive and defensive ends.

Eighth pick: Rudy Gay (from Connecticut)
The University of Connecticut lost to the dark horse George Mason University Patriots in the second round of the Crazy Three. The second-year student Rudy Gay still had a good season. He was the team's top scorer. With a 6-foot-9 height, a 3-foot-42 wingspan and more than [-] inches of jumping, he is the most physically gifted small forward in this class.

Ninth pick: Patrick O'Bryant (from Bradley University)
Bradley University, where O'Bryant studied, is the No. 13 seed in the Oakland Division. He is the starting center of this dark horse that broke into the regional semifinals. He is seven feet tall and has a seven-foot-five wingspan. Talent monster, and in the crazy three games when 32 scored 16 games, O'Bryant scored 28+7 data, and he faced Aaron Gray, a big center from the University of Pittsburgh. The moving speed is not slow, and has both lateral movement and speed. The disadvantage is that his performance is not stable, and after entering the NBA, his physical strength needs to be strengthened, but his bones are wide and he has a certain potential for training.

[-]th pick: JJ Redick (from Duke University)

Produced by Duke University, it must be a high-quality product. Although it has already been out of three crazy games, in the 2005-06 NCAA season, Redick averaged 26.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. In the four years of college, Redick He has won various basketball awards, and his total college points and total three-pointers have created records in the history of the Duke team. During the four years of college, he scored 450 three-pointers, breaking the NCAA personal record.

No.11 pick: Zhou Lin (from George Mason University)

Zhou Lin, a player from China, is the hometown of NBA star Yao Ming. He has a height of 40 feet 19 and a run-up jump close to 6 inches. He has five years of experience in the United States and has received training from the American basketball system. Therefore, in terms of communication and integration There won't be too many problems. The disadvantage is that he only has a 38-foot-6 wingspan and relatively mediocre explosive power. His ability to confront in the NBA will also be questioned. In this year's crazy three games, he led George Mason University as a dark horse Breaking into the Final Four, he improved the draft ranking three times in a row, from the middle of the second round for the first time to the lottery zone, averaged [-]+[-] per game this season, and has a good shooting ability, with a three-point shooting rate of [-]% , The most rare thing is that with an average of [-] assists per game, if the Patriots' performance can continue to improve, Zhou Lin may even be able to enter the top ten picks in the first round.

……

No.19 pick: Jane Rondo (from the University of Kentucky)

This year's University of Kentucky Wildcats were eliminated early in the first round by the dark horse George Mason University Patriots, but this did not affect the market for Rajon Rondo. He was one of the best players in the 2006 draft. One of the pure point guards, the six-foot-two Rajon Rondo has a seven-foot wingspan and a pair of unusually large palms. This physical condition makes it easier for Rajon Rondo to handle the ball. On the defensive end, he has repeatedly caused trouble for offensive players. In the 05-06 NCAA season, Rajon Rondo had 2 steals per game. However, Jane Rondo's poor outside shooting has affected his draft prospects. In the 05-06 season, his three-point shooting percentage was only 27%, and this shooting percentage was based on the NCAA comparison. The closer three-point line in the NBA.

……

No.20 second pick: Kyle Lowry (from Villanova University)
As Randy Foye's backcourt partner, Lowry has excellent ball-handling ability, is willing to confront, and is very competitive. On the defensive end, he can use fast hands and feet and good strength to fight to destroy the opponent's Offensive pace, and for a 6-foot player, Lowry is great on the rebound, he played very hard this year, but unfortunately lost to the stronger University of Florida Gators, he is very competitive And a very smart player, and in last year's Sweet 16, he played a suppressive game against the fifth pick in 2005, Redmond Felton. His ball-handling shooting and short height are the few shortcomings .

……

No.20 Ninth Pick: Shannon Brown (from the University of Michigan)

As a dunker who was once as famous as LeBron in high school, he quickly became one of the most explosive guards in the Big-10 league after entering the University of Michigan, and his shooting ability has also been rising steadily during the three years of college, but the big Three This year's poor performance against the Alabama-Birmingham Trail Blazers, which is not strong, made the team out of the first round, which affected his draft market to a certain extent, but he is still willing to have a team in the Take this athletic guard at the end of the first round.

……

No.30 sixth pick: Steve Novak (from Marquette University)
In the last year of college, Steve Novak improved significantly, averaging 17.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He was the leading scorer of the Marquette University team and had 97.4% of free throws. In terms of field goal percentage, Novak's representative work is 41 points and 16 rebounds in the game against the University of Connecticut, which ranks second in the Big East. During his four years in college, Novak averaged 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1 assist per game , a total of 793 three-pointers made 368 of them with a hit rate of 46.4%. He is known as the number one three-pointer in the NCAA. In the NBA where the line is farther, whether he can adapt to the rhythm of offense and defense is also a huge doubt.

……

No.40 fifth pick: Paul Millsap (from Louisiana Tech)

Although Louisiana Tech has missed the NCAA March Madness for three consecutive years, in the three years, Paul Millsap's data is excellent. In the three seasons, Millsap participated in 92 games and averaged 18.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 1.99 blocks and 1.32 steals. The total points (1701) and total rebounds (1172) ranked 7th and 2nd in school history respectively. He is the first player in the history of the NCAA division to win three consecutive rebounds. , In his junior season, he even scored 19.6 points and 13.3 rebounds. However, the height of [-] feet [-] will limit Millsap's development after entering the NBA. He is only the height of the third position. Playing in positions four and five, but not being able to lead the team into the Crazy Three, also limited his draft picks to a certain extent. Of course, being able to select Millsap in the middle of the second round may not be a good choice.

……

In fact, the 2005 class, which was sandwiched between the 2007 and 2006 drafts, was considered a minor draft year from the very beginning.

The historical development has not exceeded the expectations of too many people. Zhou Lin, who came from the future, also has the perspective of God.

Among the 2006 rookies, there are only a handful of players who can do it.

Among the high-ranking rookies, Brandon Roy, the only supergiant temperament, was destroyed by injuries, and the lost meniscus was Brandon Roy's Achilles heel.

The No. [-] pick Bargnani is a full-fledged parallel importer, a seven-foot player with only a handful of shots in the penalty area, and the defensive end is also poor; No. [-] pick Adam Morris is Jordan's successor to Kwame Brown. There is a high-ranking parallel importer, the mediocre physical fitness after entering the NBA, the lack of confrontation ability and the NBA's three-point line gave Morris a sap.

There are also jumpers Tyrus Thomas, rough Patrick O'Bryant, and Hilton Williams, among others, who only stayed in the NBA for a short time.

There are also a few who can barely see the past.

Although Rudy Gay, whose template is Tracy McGrady, was regarded as the cornerstone of the Grizzlies team in the years to come, he only played at the level of an ordinary star. His shot selection and leadership qualities were the points that others questioned.

Randy Foye, is an excellent rotation or starting standard for weak teams. The combo guard in the NCAA has a short height after entering the NBA, but it is difficult to perform well at the second position. Also struggled.

Sefoloza, the Swiss Army Knife, is a defender who is good at defense and is also well-known in the league, but in the final analysis, he can only be regarded as a player with the nature of a championship puzzle.

JJ. Redick is also a high-quality shooter. He is also a champion jigsaw puzzle. He also played brilliantly next to Paul in the Clippers, but whether he can win the championship at the end of his career is also doubtful.

In the lottery area of ​​the disaster, probably only LaMarcus Aldridge is really worthy of his pick, or exceeded expectations. The Blazers in the Yi era and the former Lillard era can score 20+ points almost every year, and they have also led the team to the semifinals of the division.

In the second round, however, there were a lot of high-quality starters or role players at the end of the first round and in the second round.

After Kyle Lowry left the Rockets and came to the Raptors, he became the All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference and won the championship with artificial intelligence as a core guard. If Zhou Lin was asked to rearrange the 2006 draft, Lowry would have no LaMarcus Aldridge, the champion, and Jane Rondo, who gradually became a role player in the later stage, ranked first.

Jane Rondo, as the first core defender to win the championship in the 2006 class, Jane Rondo can be regarded as driving high and low, but the honor of several assists and two championships is worthy of his draft pick .

Paul Millsap, in the middle of the second round, can be called the best pick in this round. Because of his short inside height, he has been silent in the NBA for several years, but his gradually developed mid-to-long distance makes Millsap a high-quality space four. , He was still in the Eastern Conference in the middle of his career and won four All-Stars.

PJ Tucker, in the early stages of his career, was panning for gold in European basketball, and did not return to the NBA until 2012. In the middle and later stages of his career, PJ Tucker became the championship puzzle that all teams want, high-quality defense and a certain amount The three-pointer can be said to perfectly define the blue-collar team in the small ball era.

There is also the undrafted pick, Jose Barea. Although he is only 1.8 meters (maybe less than), Barea has tenaciously survived in the NBA for more than a dozen seasons, and in 2011, he became a player next to Nowitzki. One of his right-hand men, the start of the finals with Kidd's partner, gave the Heat a head-on blow with the Big Three, and even got the nickname of a mountain in Puerto Rico, and the gold content of that championship can also be ranked among the top three in history.
