On the 2nd, the 2006 NBA Draft was held in Madison Square Garden.

At this time of year, the draft always attracts the attention of basketball fans all over the world. They like to watch some future superstars being selected and worthy of commemoration.

This year is the first year of refusing high school students to participate in the draft, and Chinese player Tang Zhengdong also signed up. Officials predict that he will be selected by the Celtics in the second round.

Since the No. 2 draw was destined to be traded, Paxson did not ask Wang Jun to go to New York to be a Bulls representative, and the NBA team often sends core players to participate in the draft and meet rookies.

Italian insider Bagnani became the first rookie to make his debut, and his template was Nowitzki, a big man with a range beyond the three-point line.

The Raptors will take him off first. He will form a double tower with Bosh next season, but neither of them is a meat shield type, and there may be problems on the defensive end.

The Bulls chose Aldridge second and soon announced the deal, exchanging him and Nosioni for Supersonic Rashad Lewis.

Aldridge suddenly fell from heaven to hell. He was a Bulls fan. When he was a child, he played the role of Jordan and Pippen on the field outside with his children. He hoped to play for the Bulls, and this hope was instantly shattered.

Wang Jun jumped up excitedly and shouted "yeah"

No one knows what Aldridge plays at the NBA now, but Lewis is a familiar Wang Jun. The two have met in the regular season and star games, and even left phone calls with each other in 2005.

Wang Jun felt that Lewis was like a three-point enhanced version of Louldon, and his speed of switching to the defense at the 4th position was second to none in the league.

Lewis was also excited to see the deal at home and felt that his chance had come. He no longer had any hope for the Supersonics and wanted to find a team to win the championship.

The Bulls just won the championship and replaced him without any injury. Next season, they will definitely be a strong contender for the championship.

Wang Jun immediately called Lewis with the phone number, and had never contacted him before. "Rashard, have you watched the draft?"

Lewis smiled and said, "Look, this is really good news."

"Yes, the cooperation in the new season is pleasant. We will definitely defend our title successfully, haha." Wang Jun laughed.

"I think so, then we will form a Gemini and sweep the league."

After chatting for a while, I hung up the phone. Wang Jun is looking forward to the start of the new season, just like after watching a good trailer, I really want to wait for the main film to be released.

The Bulls' lineup was not top last season, but next season is different, and offense and defense are more balanced. David Lee may have to play as a substitute.

After calling, the Bobcats had selected Adam Morrison in the third pick.

After becoming the Bobcats's little boss, Jordan monopolized the power in personnel appointments and removals. This draft was a big test for Jordan, and his choice became the focus of people's attention.

Will he justify himself or choose a Kwame Brown-style parallel product?

Jordan is interested in Morrison's scoring ability. Last season, he averaged 2 points, 55 rebounds and assists and steals in NCAA. Morrison has outstanding shooting ability, and many people think of Larry Bird again.

Jordan was very happy with his choice. He thought the Bobcats needed to score, especially in the fourth quarter, where Morrison could provide them with these. The team could only play the first three quarters well, a leader in the fourth quarter, and a guy who could shoot and win the ball.

However, Jordan ignored Morrison's ability to fight. He is not an excellent defender. His mediocre physical fitness limits his performance on the defensive end. Moreover, he is a diabetic and has to insulin injections before each game, which may cause interference to his career.

The Trail Blazers selected Tyrus Thomas in the fourth pick, the inside with the best physical fitness this year.

His performance in NCAA was extremely eye-catching, especially in the confrontation with the University of Texas. He and Glen Davis joined forces to subdue Aldridge.

In the game against Duke, Thomas blocked McRoberts' shot and said to him viciously: "You are the McDonald's All-Star and I'm not, but that's OK. All I have to do is to let you go."

This trash talk is like a king who ruled the world, making him famous in NCAA.

He was inconspicuous in high school, but his enterprising and competitive spirit in college were favored by countless scouts, and his draft picks were bullish all the way. Of course, this could not hide the fact that he was a rough guy.

The Trail Blazers didn't want him, they just lost their first choice.

The Hawks picked the shorter inside Sheldon Williams in the fifth pick.

The Timberwolves selected Brandon Roy in the sixth place and immediately traded with the Trail Blazers. Randy Ferye, who was ranked seventh. The Trail Blazers changed to the Celtics draft pick and wanted to choose two rookies inside and outside to train.

It was just a swap, the Timberwolves didn't take any advantage, which made people wonder why. McHale's thinking seemed to be not normal. If he liked Fery, wouldn't it be over to choose him in the sixth place? Did he suddenly fall in love with Fery at first sight?

The Rockets ranked eighth in the quality Superman Rudy Guy, and immediately added brainless power forward Swift to package the deal with the Grizzlies in exchange for defensive swingman Sean Bathir.

In order to send Swift away and change his combat power that can be defended, the Rockets gave up the rookie who may become a star in the future. It is hard to say whether it was a profit or a loss.

Wang Jun basically doesn’t know the people behind him, and the evaluation of this rookie is average.

The Nets hold three first-round draft picks, 22 from the Clippers, and chose point guard Marcus Williams as Kidd's substitute.

The 23rd chose Josh Boone, a 20c blue-collar center with a weight of 09 kg.

The Nets also chose Joel Forreland, a 20c-height inside player with a 3kg weight.

If they want to use these two rookies to strengthen the inside, then the boss’s money-saving plan will be successful again. Nets fans can continue to scold the boss because they are doomed to fail next season and will be at most the first round of the playoffs.

The highly-watched super dunker James White was selected first in the second round by the Trail Blazers.

His physical fitness is super powerful, but his brain is not very good and his ability to fight is poor, so no team is willing to bet on his talent and choose him in the first round.

The Bulls' second round pick for the Nets was sent to the Jazz, and they selected Deron's alumnus, defender DeBrown.

No other big deal happened. The Cavaliers traded a second round pick from the 76ers, and selected Daniel Gibson with the 42nd pick, a rookie who is good at shooting three-pointers.

Wang Jun also paid special attention to the Knicks. Thomas traded two draft picks from the Nuggets and Spurs in the first round. The 20th selected Reinado Balkman, 203c3 in height, and the 4th position swinger.

29 selected Marty Corinth, with a height of 9c.

It seems that neither of them is of use and the evaluation is not high. The Knicks have bad contracts. If they cannot make big deals, the Bulls will definitely win a high pick next season, just like winning the lottery.

If the Knicks' high-paying and low-powered people can trade, unless there is a manager who is stupider than the Assassin Thomas.

The 2006 draft was over, and Tang Zhengdong was unfortunately out of the election. He was too slow and it was difficult to keep up with the NBA pace.

Wang Jun has no rookie teammates, so the free agents whose contract expires. Not many Bulls have contracts, so they have to find someone to strengthen in the free market in the summer.

With the defending champion as a temptation, Wang Jun and Lewis are two signature stars, there will definitely be veterans willing to join the team with a salary cut.
