Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 955 [In the young year of the draft, I missed something on Taobao]

The Suns have three draft picks this season, the 16th and 30th picks in the first round and the 60th pick in the second round.

Since team management personnel cannot contact players or agents during the lockout and will be fined if found, they must wait for the conclusion of labor negotiations before signing in the free market. The signing time is very short, and it is difficult to find suitable talents in the free market, so this summer the Suns are planning to use rookie selection to strengthen.

Three players have chosen to retire, and swingman Gerald Green is also preparing to leave. The Suns will have at least four vacant spots.

It makes no sense for Green to stay after establishing a dynasty with the Suns. If he doesn't play for other teams, he will always be a substitute or marginal player and will not be able to get a big contract. He was going to try his luck on a weak team where he could get a lot of playing time.

On June 24, the 2011 NBA Draft was held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. This is the last NBA draft for the New Jersey Nets. After the end of next season, the team will move to Brooklyn, New York and be renamed the Brooklyn Nets.

Russian boss Prokhorov's previous actions can be called a rich man. In May last year, he bought the Nets for US$223 million and made a high-profile statement that he would win the NBA championship within five years. He also spent 510 million to buy the long-overdue project of the Brooklyn Stadium, vowing to build the NBA's most powerful team.

Guo Xu watched the live broadcast at home and attached great importance to this draft. He carefully checked the introductions of all the participating players and gave three main selections and two alternative lists.

This is an underrated draft. Experts predict that it will be a bad year for the draft. However, Guo Xu feels that he can pick up the spoils if he chooses any pick. This is the benefit of being born again. After looking at the roster, he felt it didn't matter if he missed Kawhi Leonard.

The Clippers, ranked 12th in the Western Conference, were lucky enough to win the No. 1 pick. Or maybe it wasn't a draw at all, but the league wanted to give them another No. 1 pick. As a Los Angeles team, the league hopes that the Clippers will rise. This is their second No. 1 pick after Griffin. In 2008, they also selected second overall pick Michael Beasley.

The Clippers have always had high draft picks since the 1980s. Baylor who became the Clippers' general manager in 1986 is a god, and the most reliable person he selected is Odom.

In 2009, Baylor took the Clippers to court, saying that the Clippers discriminated against him due to age and race in his employment. A jury this year dismissed all of Baylor's claims and ruled that he would not receive any compensation. The jury felt that Clippers owner Sterling only discriminated against Baylor's IQ...

The Clippers' new manager used the No. 1 pick to select Kyrie Irving, the best immediate point guard in this class.

The 19-year-old Irving played for Duke University for one year.

He averaged 17.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, shooting 59% on two-pointers and 45% on three-pointers. His godfather is the famous point guard Rod Strickland, with whom Irving has learned to play since he was a child.

The Timberwolves selected Derrick Williams with the second pick. His style is very similar to Beasley's. What's puzzling is that Beasley is already in the Timberwolves' lineup. Isn't this an overlapping position? Experts couldn't figure out what the Timberwolves' front office was thinking.

The Wizards selected Turkish insider Enes Kanter with the third overall pick. Experts predict that the Wizards will trade him. They already have Kevin Love on the team. Kanter mainly plays power forward, and the two have overlapping positions.

What the Wizards need most is a swingman, and Kanter is a very attractive bargaining chip.

The Raptors selected Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas with the fourth pick. He was elected Lithuanian Basketball Player last season. Even though he still had one year left on his contract in Europe, the Raptors were willing to sign him with a high pick, thinking it was worth the wait.

The Pistons selected Tristan Thompson with the fifth pick, a blue-collar power forward with superb physical fitness and no shooting range.

Tristan has no chance of becoming LeBron James' little brother. If he joins the Pistons and doesn't leave, he may not have the chance to meet Khloe Kardashian in the future.

The Pacers selected Jan Vesely with the sixth pick, who is 211cm tall. This is a parallel insider who lacks confrontation and has difficulty adapting to the rhythm of NBA games.

But he is the most spotlight-stealing rookie today. The scene where he kissed his girlfriend passionately shocked everyone, and his girlfriend is a super beauty with a model figure.

Buckley joked during the live broadcast: I appreciate her clear declaration of sovereignty. She wants to tell everyone that this millionaire is mine, and no one can take it away.

The Kings selected Kemba Walker seventh, a point guard who is 185cm tall and weighs 83kg.

Walker played for the University of Connecticut. In the 2010-11 season, he led the team to win the NCAA championship and was selected as the Final Four MOP. What the Kings lack most is a point guard, so they decisively chose this ready-to-combat player.

The Kings look more promising now. In Guo Xu's previous life, Walker was a strongman who was selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star three times.

The Bobcats selected Brandon Knight with the eighth pick, a point guard who is 191cm tall. Missing Walker is a serious change, because in Guo Xu's previous life, Walker was Jordan's most successful draft pick.

The Bobcats didn't make the playoffs, and their record prevented them from selecting a high-draft pick. This was the most embarrassing situation.

The Jazz selected Bismack Biyombo with the ninth pick, a blue-collar power forward with an amazing wingspan and rough offensive skills. The small ball era has arrived early, causing every team to want a short power forward like Haslem who can shoot. Bi Yongbo lacks shooting range and his physical fitness has also declined.

The Bucks selected the 188cm double guard Jimmer Fredette with the 10th pick. He later became a super scorer in the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese CBA and was nicknamed CBA Curry. He is too bad at confrontation in the NBA and is not good at organization, so he will definitely not be able to play well.

The Trail Blazers selected 198CM swingman Yaris Burke with the 11th pick.

The Hawks selected post Markieff Morris with the 12th pick, and the Hornets selected post Marcus Morris with the 13th pick.

The twins look exactly the same, have similar builds, and have similar playing styles. Both are good at catching and shooting after pick-and-rolls, and their range reaches beyond the three-point line.

Both teams lack insiders and do not consider drafting swingmen. It is a pity that they missed the best rookie of this year.

The Spurs sent George Hill in exchange for the No. 14 pick from the Rockets, and then selected Leonard.

The Rockets did this because Morey is superstitious about data analysis. Leonard averaged 15.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in his sophomore season and led San Diego State University to the NCAA Sweet 16. His statistics are not bad, but he is not what the Rockets need. He looks like a 201CM power forward.

The Celtics selected Nikola Vucevic with the 15th pick, and the next person Ainge will send away will definitely be Perkins.

If Perkins cannot sign and trade first, he will probably want to strangle the manager and he will lose the salary increase from the Bird Rights. Last season, Perkins begged the Celtics to trade him and let him go to a team where he could get more playing time. Ainge was determined not to let him go. The Green Army needed Perkins' defense if they wanted to make the playoffs.

Now, Perkins is useless.

Something magical happened. Klay Thompson, one of the best players in this class and the most powerful three-point shooter, actually dropped to 16th place.

Guo Xu listed Thompson as the team's first choice. This is the most suitable partner for him. They can also form the Splash Brothers. He didn't think he would be selected smoothly, but Thompson actually fell to 16th place.

In fact, this is normal. If Guo Xu hadn't suggested picking him, the Suns wouldn't have considered it.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Warriors chose Thompson because the tactical system required a swingman who can shoot three-pointers. If the Warriors didn't choose, God knows who he would fall to...
