On the afternoon of the 24th, Li Yue returned to Los Angeles by Gulfstream private jet, and replied to Kupchak's text message without taking a break.

After a little communication, he drove to the training base to discuss with Kupchak's team and coaching staff.

The 14 draft is about to be held, and the Lakers own a second-round pick 46 this year, and they also got a second-round pick 76 from the 32ers. Kupchak wants to ask for his personal advice, and the information has been sent in advance to the mailbox.

Many media publicized that 14 is a super year, and the Lakers are particularly short of power forwards. Li Yue browsed with the goal intention, but did not find a bright target. Just when he was about to give up the proposal, Walton suddenly shouted: Wow , this is a scouting report that I have never seen, nor have I seen a player get such an evaluation, I will read it to you.

Everyone was eagerly waiting, Walton said with a smile: "The name is Nicholas Jokic, born in 1995, from Serbia, with an overall rating of 85 in various abilities. It is predicted that he will be selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 53rd pick, and the target position will be center."

"Advantages, very high basketball IQ, strong personal character, extremely good at teamwork, has a good work ethic, has really received professional training since September 13, is very popular, does not smoke or drink..."

Everyone's face turned black, self-discipline is right, but there are no other advantages to write about?
"Disadvantages, lack of speed and jumping, lack of post-up skills, lack of lateral speed, lack of core strength, lack of endurance, not very good at defense, the space for improvement seems to be limited, and the weight is significantly overweight..."

Everyone's face turned darker. Just now, they thought that "no smoking or drinking" was self-discipline, but in a blink of an eye, they heard that they were overweight. Combined with other shortcomings, why did this player named Jokic enter the scout's field of vision?
Can a high basketball IQ override all shortcomings?
"This man is a genius!" Li Yue came back to his senses, slapped his thigh and shouted: "At the age of 19, he only officially received professional training in September last year, and he can actually compete with professional players, and he is also a big fat man... "

"But we already have Rudy, and there is no time and space to train this Jokic." Assistant coach Madsen said.

"It's okay, we can treat it as buying a lottery ticket, what if we get a big prize?"
