Chapter 119 The draft begins ([-])

"A deal happened." After the Utah Jazz's three-way deal with the 15th overall pick, the Brooklyn Nets made a move after five picks.

The Brooklyn Nets traded Thaddeus Young from the Pacers for this year's 20th overall pick and a future second-round pick.

The Indiana Pacers selected Caris LeVert with the 20th overall pick from the University of Michigan.

"Another trade came up." After Indiana Pacers (Brooklyn Nets) drafted Caris LeVert, another trade came out
Charlotte Hornets: Send the 21st pick in the first round to the Kings' Belinelli

Sacramento Kings: Send Belinelli and get the 21st overall pick.

"Malach Richardson."

After the Kings selected Malachy Richardson, he was only short of the 76nd pick from the 22ers' second first-round pick.

With the 22nd overall pick, the Atlanta Hawks selected DeAndre Bembry from Saint Joseph's University.

The 23rd pick in the first round came from the Philadelphia 76ers, and they had 5 minutes to consider.

With the Hawks making their pick, there are only two considerations for the Philadelphia 3ers, who previously picked a 76-and-D forward
1: Important rotation point guard

2: The backup power forward who fills the minutes

Both strength and potential are needed

It is not difficult to choose one of the two topics in Philadelphia.

"Is there anyone who has not chosen a potential power forward?" Xinji asked his subordinates very calmly,
"Dejanta Davis, this is the answer we gave." The answer given by Hinkie's subordinates was this person.

"On the offensive end, he is a jumping man, and as a frame protector, his defensive experience is too lacking, and he needs a striker to wipe his ass. This kind of guy is really not worth our wasting the No. 23 pick."

"Is he so bad?" Although Hinkie watched the players' trial training, he didn't read all the content carefully.

"I haven't even said that, his foul troubles exploded and he shot 63 percent from the free-throw line in college."

"It seems that you are really suitable to be a teaching assistant."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Then who do you like..." Anyway, I'm looking for helpers for him, the 23rd and 26th picks are just as he likes!

After all, my days in Philadelphia have been...

With the 23rd pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Pascal Siakam from New Mexico State University.

"Damn it, was it cut off?"

"Is it Embiid's reason?"

Ujiri, who was holding the No. 27 pick and was about to pick Siakam, watched Siakam put on the Philadelphia hat, and sparks could not help but appear in his eyes.

"Let's talk about Siakam's deal." Siakam was intercepted, and a veteran like Ujiri had to try to get back the prey he had observed for a long time

"How?" The call had results before the 24th pick.

"Get ready to implement plan B." The call didn't go anywhere.

After the Sacramento Kings with the 24th pick and the Los Angeles Clippers with the 25th pick picked Luwau Caballo and Bryce Johnson.

The Philadelphia 76ers ushered in the third selection of this draft.

"Malcolm Brogdon." Hinkie's choice basically surprised most of the staff in the war room.

Because Young will return to his position at No. 3 in the new season, the 76ers must find a point guard with excellent immediate combat ability.

And Brogdon is officially such a suitable candidate.

Last season, he averaged 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He was the key figure for the University of Virginia to reach the NCAA quarterfinals.

Plus he's named the National Coaches Association's Defensive Player of the Year

Let Hinkie get rid of the last layer of concerns about choosing him.

"He is a senior, and he has a history of serious injuries to his feet." Regarding Xinji's choice, his subordinates decided to persuade him.

"I know, I know what you know, but you have to think about what our point guard needs."

"Fixed-point shooting and breakthrough inside kills."

"Do you have Brogdon's statistics in college, how well he did these two points, do you need me to repeat it?"

"No need." They have seen Brogdon's priority trial training performance, but they are really afraid of players with serious injury histories.

Coupled with the fact that he is close to 24 years old, the latter part of the first round seems a bit wasteful.

"Embiid!" Hinkie found the problem after a little thought.

"You don't agree with my selection of Brogdon at the 26th pick, so do we still have a second round?"

"No more." Philadelphia's second-round pick has already been sent to the Celtics, and now they don't have a second-round pick available.

"That's it. If 26 doesn't pick him, he will fall into the hands of the Phoenix Suns with the 34th pick. You also know that they are looking for a point guard." From nowhere, Hinkie took out a piece of information that the Phoenix Suns are interested in Brogdon.

Of course, Hinkie still has another concern. Brett Brown doesn't like to use rookies, so Hinkie can only find a mature man for him.
With the 26th overall pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Malcolm Brogdon from the University of Virginia.

"Selected."

Brogdon, who came to the draft, was very excited because he didn't expect that a team would choose to take him before the end of the first round.

To put it bluntly, he has already prepared himself to fall out of the first round.

After embracing his family, Brogdon walked steadily towards the stage.

"I'm leaving, Harris is looking for me." After the 30th overall champion Golden State Warriors drafted Damian Jones

Young gets a text from Harris.

long after jan left

"purchase"

After the Cavaliers spent 240 million to buy the No. 54 pick of the Eagles, Hinkie, who had been silent in the second round, decided to play his last card in the draft.

“55号签180万不卖，60号签可以等58号后再商议。”55号签的犹他爵士第一个给出了回复。

"I'm sorry, I've already sold it to the Thunder for 240 million." No. 56 was signed by the Denver Nuggets, and Hinkie was obviously a step behind.

"If you don't sell it, you can change it to the second round." The Memphis Grizzlies at No. 57 didn't want to sell their 57th pick for cash.

"Call Divac." After the shocking "robbery" deal, Hinkie called the Kings general manager for the first time.

"240."

"My quota is only 180 million. It seems that I can only go to the Jazz."

"Okay" No. 59 pick, and there is no suitable candidate, Divac accepted the proposal to sell No. 180 pick for 59 million,
With the 59th pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Fred VanVleet from Wichita State University

…………

"The first position is built. Brogdon is the main, McConnell is the control, plus Van Vleet's vitality."

"Let go of all the second positions. The first pick will be a veteran with rich experience in cover and defense, and then a shooter who is strong offensively and weak defensively. I can't deal with Bogdan Bogdanovic."

"Young and Prince's reserves at the third position are almost enough. If you need to add a veteran who is weak in defense and offense."

"Don't worry too much about Covington's defense in the 4th position in the new season. It's just that his physical strength is exhausted. I'm afraid that the three-pointer will be unstable. Siakam is trained according to the defense-changing and mopping-up forwards. This can make a backup for Covington. I can't control the third person."

"In the fifth position, Embiid is the main player. Jaimechel Green provides the possibility of a small lineup, and Ilyasova uses it to open up space. This configuration is not advanced, but it is quite good."

Next, it's time to deal with Saric.

After clearing his mind, Hinkie had to deal with the last question left by him:
Saric to stay or send out
