Chapter 266: Take down George Seamaster! The ultimate operation that makes you wet! (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~)

“Paul George from Cal State Fresno!! Congratulations!!”

Even David Stern applauded once more. This time Jiang Chao is actually not crazy. The Knicks' forward problems have already appeared last year. It is a good choice to select a small forward with a high pick this time.

Although he was a little surprised.

You can tell just by looking at the expressions on the people below.

It's too high...

Is this poor George the No. 8 pick???

Some people are happy and some are worried for a while.

Just like Van Gundy Jr. incredibly explained:

"Wow, Jiang Chao exceeded all our expectations, he didn't choose Hayward???

In the 2009-10 season, Paul George averaged 16.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 steals per game. His free throw shooting percentage was outstanding, as high as 90.6%, and he was selected to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) best team.

Second team.

But in fact, just looking at the data, you may not be able to enter the lottery.

Because which top 16 team in the NCAA does not have players with such statistics??

Even the Knicks themselves were surprised, until they saw George's excellent physical data, they thought there was nothing wrong with him.

Downey Jr. showed Lao Lu and the others the scouting report on this player:

"George: An all-around striker who can hold the ball and shoot, and also has the ability to catch and shoot. His absolute speed is not outstanding, but his rhythm is okay. His shooting after being screened by his teammates inside is especially accurate. He ranks second among small forwards in this class."

(Note: Wesley Johnson, the first official Timberwolves selection)

When Lao Lu and others saw it, they felt that it was a bit mediocre. It was indeed the case. George was not very lethal before he became a player. But after he entered the NBA and became tougher, he became "really" all-around. He is a combination of 3D breakthrough players.

At the scene, Hayward was a little disappointed and got up and hugged George next door to congratulate him. The Knicks fans did not cheer so loudly.

As the commentator said, compared to George, Hayward is the conference player of the year this year, the most outstanding player in the Western Conference last year, and his average of 17 points and 8 rebounds per game is also better than George...

Anyone would think that Hayward would be drafted higher than George.

But since you have chosen, there is no need to question it. The Knicks' forward defense problems have been exposed in this year's playoffs. It would be very good to have a young and strong forward force.

The video highlights of Pickle Pepper were playing on the TV, and there were many scenes of him stealing and dunking on a big windmill, which is also a wonder of his talent.

Hayward's agent called the Knicks management. It simply means that you have forgotten the friendship between Hai Shuai and Jiang Chao on the shore of Daming Lake. Hai Shuai indirectly helped the Knicks a lot.

This must have been passed on to Sean Marks and the others. They said it was the management's decision and had nothing to do with Jiang Chao.

And they also confirmed one thing to Hayward's agent 100%.

That is, if Hayward has not been selected with the 17th pick, the Knicks must select him!

"good!"

Hayward has received a small amount of reassurance. In their minds, it doesn't matter where he is drafted this year. What matters is joining the Knicks, and that is where Hayward will end up.

It is estimated that through this year, their team also discovered that Hayward Stevens can make a fire, so they only wanted to add the Knicks.

In addition, Jiang Chao is also well-known at Butler University, and everyone wants to renew his relationship with the Knicks. In that case, the entire Butler University will be die-hard Knicks fans.

George, who was wearing a black suit and a Knicks hat, went on stage to shake hands with Stern and take photos.

However, his expression was much calmer than the others, as if he had expected it.

"Sure enough, everything was communicated well." The other teams also directly looked at their own picks. There was news a week ago that George has been in New York and has never left. It is normal for him to be selected.

But many teams thought they would pick No. 17.

"Thanks!"

When Paojiao finally saw her mother crying, she also cried. It turned out that she had been pretending to be strong before.

Yesterday morning, Sean Marks personally inspected Pickle's crotch pull-back quick-fire jumper.

In the end, he successfully passed the test on 47 of 50 shots. In fact, it was announced that George was already a Knick.

Being selected now is the result of George's own efforts.

Jiang Chao is already relieved. The goal of their draft has been achieved. If they get the strongest man in this year, I have it in the world!

I can't help but watch the scene where George and James fight.

Harden quickly pulled George into the Knicks super chat group:

"Welcome new students!"

"Rookie! Next year you will carry a pink schoolbag for me." Curry joked.

"Small forward, feel comfortable!" Turk Drew could tell at a glance what the management was thinking. George's physical test data suggested that he was a swingman. He was trying to make up for their forward defense.

To be honest, wasn't it just Wade alone who defeated him last season?

When Yao Ming returns next season, there is no need to worry about the inside line. There is nothing wrong with adding a defender on the outside line.

Although Gallinelli thinks he can win, he still admires the management in his heart. If they want to win the championship, they will really make up for their shortcomings. Unlike some teams, they just pick whatever they like without considering the lineup.

For example, if the team already has a big ball-handling core, and then we bring in a big ball-handling core, how will the ball be divided? A positive will lead to a negative.

Some teams only select strong players, which can be considered a policy.

The draft is actually a game. Do you have some requirements for the team or do you have requirements for the future value of the rookie?

A championship playoff team that has some requirements for the team will definitely check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

The draft method for bad teams and some mid-range teams is basically to select the strongest and best among the remaining ones, so they will never lose money.

But this selection method is very risky. The player's playing style, personality and even family will be affected. People whose families are far away may leave after finishing their rookie contract.

After rational analysis, the fans understood Jiang Chao's choice. In fact, it was not Hayward who shouted loudest among them.

Because Monroe was not selected, they wanted Greg Monroe even more!

To put it simply, this guy is a player who kills in the paint in this year's NCAA. He is the strongest player in the Big East Conference, averaging a double-double per game. His template is a bit like David Lee, who has better post-up skills.

But it’s already been said that he looks like David Lee, so if the Knicks have David Lee, they will definitely not need Monroe.

"Can."

"correct."

"There is no way to defeat Jiang. George should be able to play a good role in attacking the enemy!"

"I heard that he had a back-and-forth with Harden in one-on-ones, and even guarded a few of Harden. That's pretty good."

"Let's see what happens next."

Here George happily went backstage to wait with his parents and agent, because the Knicks still had the No. 17 pick.

The next draft is almost expected.

The Pistons selected Monroe with the 9th pick, and the Hornets selected Cole Aldridge with the 10th pick...

The coach's palms and backs were sweaty. He was afraid that these happy teams would pick him. After hearing the affirmation from the Knicks management just now, he just wanted to be selected as the 17th pick.

Finally, with the 16th pick, the Bucks selected poet Sanders.

The choice once again comes to the Knicks.

Pick 17!

Big Bird pretended to call the Knicks and suggested that Bledsoe and Bradley were outside. Both of them were good offensive and defensive players, so he kept giving the Knicks an advantage.

Next door, President Trump also raised his eyebrows and suggested that Sean Marks take Bledsoe. This is a bloody cloth! James on the back line.

"You think we are stupid..."

Sean Marks didn't even need to ask Jiang Chao for instructions, and directly asked the Timberwolves to choose Gordon Hayward.

"Okay..."

Bird stuck out his tongue. Hayward is considered the pride of Indiana. In their view, this is actually a bit too human. If the white forward falls to the Pacers, Bird will definitely choose him.

The Timberwolves also felt unexpected and expected.

Because Hayward and George are exactly the same height, and their wingspans are not much different, they are equivalent to selecting two small forwards in the first round. What's the point?

There must be a human factor in that choice. It is said that it was Stevens who was introduced to Jiang Chao by Hayward. The stories of these three people at Butler University were written and published in books by local students. Of course, the plot cannot be used

Look, let’s make a wild guess.

The league thinks so too. This year, as Hayward's personal performance and team record have collectively declined, his ranking has also dropped rapidly. It can be said that last year he was definitely in the top 10 in the draft. This year, there are really too many good forward prospects.

David Stern continued:

"With the 17th pick, the Timberwolves signed and traded to the Knicks. Their choice is: Gordon Hayward from Butler University!"

"ok!"

"Wow!"

“I finally chose it!”
To be continued...
