The Raptors chose center Raphael Aruyu in the eighth place. Guo Xu had no impression of this person and was not sure whether he had played in the NBA. The Raptors' management was simply blind.

What's even more amazing is that the ninth Supersonics team selected small forward Luke Jackson, a white player with a height of 201cm and a weight of 98 kilograms. He was born on November 6, 1981, older than Guo Xu, and completed his college studies. He had no potential to dig at first glance.

Both of them are swingers, the Supersonics didn't choose Iguodala. This is no longer blind. Scouts are just blind. There are already forwards in the team who can shoot, Rashad Lewis and Radmanovic. What's the use of this guy?

Luke certainly has advantages. He was a veritable star player during his college years. He is a typical white player, with all skills and shooting range, but his physical fitness is average, similar to Jacques Bson, the Suns selected in 2003.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Luke was selected by the Cavaliers, and he played a total of 73 games in his career, with constant injuries.

The 10th place in the 76ers selected the swinger Andre Iguodala. When Guo Xu was reborn, he was still playing in the Warriors. He has amazing physical fitness, fast speed, strong strength, and bounces at the level of dunk king.

If he doesn't practice basketball, Iguodala can also practice track and field. His best score for high jump reaches 210cm. In addition to high jump, he has also practiced long jump. When he was in his sophomore year of high school, he was second in Illinois long jump.

Iguodala fell to this pick because of his rough skills and poor shooting. He was defined by scouts as a blue-collar worker with super strong body. His strong muscles will affect his shooting feel. In two years in college, he played a total of 62 games, 34 starts, averaging 9.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.53 steals per game.

The Cavaliers ranked 11th with blue-collar center Andris Bidlings.

The drafts of the teams behind them did not change much and the players were not very popular. They were all chosen after trial training, and there were few cases of interception.

The Celtics, who lacked the inside, chose high school center Al Jefferson, and they also selected the famous defensive player of their previous life, 193cm defender Tony Allen.

The Hawks used the draft pick to choose Josh Smith, the Kings chose Kevin Martin, and the Lakers chose Sasha Vujasic, who is famous for dating Sharapova.

Meghan yawned during the draft, and could only tease the kittens. Finally, it was the Suns' turn to make a choice. Brian chose Brazilian inside Anderson Valaijo according to Guo Xu's request.

This is the best choice for the Suns. It doesn’t matter if Valejo doesn’t speak well in English. The team has his buddy Nen, who can play guest translator. He has practiced English well in the past two years.

Valaicho is a big man with fair skin and smirking. I don’t know why Brazil produces such athletes, and there are also a bunch of Brazilian stars who like to smirk with their teeth in the football world.

Valaizzo and Nene participated in international competitions for the Brazilian national team. In 2003, they won the Pan American Games basketball championship for the Brazilian team.

In the 2000-01 season, Valecho played in the Brazilian domestic league and won the Brazilian League's Most Valuable Player with averaging 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

In the 2003-04 season, he played 27 times in the ABC League, averaging 7.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, helping Barcelona win the ABC championship again. He played 18 games in the European League and averaged 8.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in 13 regular season games.

As a blue-collar worker, Valaijo's data is not impressive, and he is 22 years old, so he naturally has no higher rankings. However, Guo Xu is very optimistic about him. He was a celebrity in the NBA in his previous life. Because he was good at fake falls in the game and created offensive fouls by his opponents, he was nicknamed the "Brazil's Best Actor" by fans.

In his previous life, the Cavaliers made a lot of money from the Magic Trade. He is a defensive insider with full energy, good at defensive pick-and-roll, and his disadvantage is that he is a bit fragile and has frequent injuries in the later part of his career. In addition, he is average in offense and occasionally shows mid-range shots, without low post ability, and relies on empty cuts and offensive rebounds to score.

Valejo was selected for the second team of the best defensive team in the 2009-10 season, and only once was selected, it was a bit underestimated. Whether the Cavaliers were "Big Z" Ilgoskas, Gooden, or O'Neal at the end of his career, they moved slowly and could not defend well, so they needed to make up for the leak.

The Suns' signing of Valaijo at the end of the first round is very cost-effective, and he will definitely play a role.

After the team wins the championship, the value of the players in the team will increase. The management can calculate it very clearly. When the rookie contract expires, Nene and Stadameier Suns will definitely be able to keep one, and the inside needs a replacement.

The Suns' inside lineup is now super strong, but they can't work together for too long. Even blue-collar center Diop may be poached in the future because he proved in the playoffs that he can defend O'Neal alone. Valaijo is a good addition, with a larger defense range, and the rookie's salary in four years is much lower than Diop.

The Suns' second round draft was also smooth, with swinger Trevo Ariza in the total 42.

Guo Xu's alternative is Greek double-athlete defender Vasris Spanoris. This guy seems to be a sixth man, with a sharp breakthrough and good at holding the ball. At the 2006 World Championships in his previous life, the American Dream team could not defend Span, and he had no choice but to take turns to defend himself.

Span's shortcomings are positioning. He plays the 193cm scoring guard and suffers a lot of losses on the defensive end. He is not good at shooting three-pointers and must hold the ball to exert his power. In the NBA, he will not be able to play unless he is willing to train him and let him take the ball and attack as the sixth man coach.

Span was unlucky in his previous life and was very miserable. He didn't log in to NBA until 2006 and was then abolished by Van Gundy...

Ariza, who is 203cm tall and weighs 98 kilograms, is the first choice. Chinese fans in his previous life are definitely familiar with this person. He joined the Rockets twice and won the 2009 championship with the Lakers. In 2018, he lived up to the name of "Iron Slag" in the tiebreaker match of the Western Conference Finals, making 0 of 12 shots and 0 of 9 three-pointers, killing the Rockets.

Most of the time, shooting is a bit iron, but Ariza has been active in the league and relies on excellent defense.

Ariza has always been an underrated player in his previous life. He does not have the ability or aura of a star, but a very practical player. His height and wingspan allow him to defend anyone on the outside, have a certain three-point shooting ability, and can accelerate the attack and counterattack ability occasionally play a guest role in power forward.

In the 2013-14 season at the peak of the Wizards, he averaged 35.4 minutes per game, scoring 14.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals, shooting percentage of 45.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 40.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.2%.

Ariza has never been selected into the best defensive team because there are too many forwards in the league's defense. In the early days, it was Garnett, Artest, Bathir, James, and then Leonard, George, etc. It's not the unfamous Ariza.

Guo Xu proposed to choose Ariza with some selfish intentions. He should have offensive teammates and defense. If the team is full of offensive players, he must distribute a lot of ball rights. How can he play luxurious data?

After the draft, Guo Xu called Brian and smiled and said, "Brien, I chose beautifully. I am 99% sure to lead the team to win the championship in the new season. I deliberately removed the remaining 1% and didn't seem so proud."

Brian was filled with joy. "It's good that you like it, I totally believe in your ability."

"Let's wait and see we beat the entire league next season."

After the draft, Guo Xu doesn't have to worry about the depth of the Suns' lineup in the short term, just fine-tune it. Even if there are no more powerful people in the free market joining, the Suns are still a super strong team.
