Chapter 710 [The sun exchanged for the yellow mamba]
The Raptors manager chose Tyrus Thomas with a scoop. A rough guy with super physical fitness is a lunatic. But the Raptors management thinks it's pretty good, and this is an alternative result they agreed on in advance.
Thomas' physical talent won't fall out of the lottery at any draft, but in Guo Xu's previous life, his weak personality and poor self-control pushed him into the abyss. After being injured, his ability to run and jump on survival became very difficult and he quickly left NBA.
The Hornets were in a bad luck, with a record of the West but failed to draw the top three, and the fourth place was Sheldon Williams.
Duke University's inside player Sheldon is nicknamed "landlord". It is said that because the area is full of his territory within three seconds, the opponent must pay the rent first when entering the door. However, the landlord is a bit short, with only 204cm in height in shoes, 224cm in wingspan, and 117 kilograms in weight. It is a heavy inside player like Brand.
His flexibility is pretty good, but his lack of range and the offensive end is not very helpful to the team. But what the Hornets lack the most now is the inside offense.
Guo Xu felt that Chris Paul was going to ruin, lacking power forward David West's Hornets' record last season was very bad. If he didn't play pick-and-roll, Paul could not lead the team. His scoring ability was average, and his main offensive method was still central shot.
If the Hornets are lucky enough to choose Aldridge, they will have more potential than West in the future, and are good at mid-range shots and pick-and-rolls, Paul will have a chance to make the lead. Now that the Hornets cannot pull the inside, they will at most enter the playoffs.
Adam Morrison, known as "Big Bird II", fell to fifth place before being selected by the Bobcats. Obviously, the managers of other teams are not blind and do not want to choose this guy with diabetes at the top.
This is a historically-level parallel player. He does have a little bit of Bird's shadow when playing basketball, and his elegant hair makes people feel as if they have seen stars from the 1980s.
Unfortunately, diabetes has always tortured this golden bomber, and his so-called talent has never been fulfilled in the NBA arena. In Guo Xu's previous life, Morrison was a winner in life. He only played in the NBA for 3 seasons and won two championships. After retiring, he did not have to worry about food and clothing, and stayed at home and waited for death.
The Supersonics selected Randy Foye in the sixth pick, a double-energy guard with a height of 193cm. Their main test was Foye, who looked down on Roy. The team's star was Ray Allen, and he didn't need to shake people anymore, and it was not easy to train when he chose it.
The Timberwolves selected Brandon Roy in seventh place and soon announced a live deal. The Timberwolves sent Roy to the Suns in exchange for Josh Howard and two second-round picks, this year and next year.
This deal was asked by Guo Xu, who believes that Roy has the potential to become an excellent second-in-command.
The Timberwolves need combat power immediately. After renewing the maximum salary and reducing the salary, the "Wolf King" Garnett has been very dissatisfied with the team's lineup. Howard can become a good helper for the "Wolf King" and stabilize his emotions. Howard has proved himself last season, and he averaged 18 points per game in the finals, which is the Suns' second scoring point.
However, Howard and Garnett are not very compatible. They are both players who mainly play two points in mid-range shots. Garnett needs tough teammates to attack at low posts or defenders who are good at breaking through to play pick-and-roll.
Manager McHale thinks the Timberwolves make money, Howard is a swingman in combat. God knows what the 22-year-old rookie Roy can play, and they don’t have the patience to train them.
Guo Xu knew that "Huang Mamba" Roy was a star who could combine points and scores, and his style of play was selfless. Even though he had been the boss of the Trail Blazers for several years in his previous life, he did not make many shots.
He was selected for the All-Star Game for three consecutive years, and once became the second shooting guard in the West, second only to Kobe.
If Roy made more moves, the data might not be worse than Kobe. Unfortunately, he was ruined by injuries. He played with injuries for the team and suffered serious knee injuries, two meniscus damaged, and retired in disgrace after only 6 seasons.
Guo Xu is confident of changing Roy's fate and is ready to move towards Jo Johnson. He will change his style of play slightly and do not jump randomly, reduce the rapid breakthrough layup and emergency stop jump shots, and practice more jump shots to catch the ball and jump shots.
Players with many breakthroughs have all injured their knees. Grant Hill used to be, and Rose from the Bulls in the future.
Roy is still saved because he can practice shooting well and he is excellent in mid-range shooting in college. In addition, with the Suns with the magic doctor Carter, he is not so easy to get rid of it.
The Suns did not change the draft pick with a higher pick. If Roy was intercepted, they also had alternative swingman Rudy Guy. Guy had excellent shooting and was fit for running and bombing offense. It was more than enough to replace Howard.
Guo Xu can accept choosing Guy. His physical fitness is better than Roy and he is very durable. His shortcomings are that he relies on shooting and his ability to break through points is not suitable for being the core, and he cannot be the core in the Suns.
After the deal with the Timberwolves, the Suns retained the first-round draft pick this season and could choose another person.
Guo Xu likes to choose rookies in the strengthening lineup. They have no NBA experience. After playing well, experts will praise Guo Xu's ability to lead the team and will not say that the stars are teaming up. Roy is only the seventh rookie, much better than the management's original plan to poach Artest.
Artest is famous and controversial, and his role is mainly on the defensive end and his offensive end is average.
The situation changed a lot next time, with Rudy Guy being the eighth place in the Celtics.
This is the worst news for Guy. There are Pierce and Szebiak in the team. He can only start from the bench and it is difficult to make a comeback. It may also be that the Celtics are trading to get players from other positions.
The Rockets missed the playoffs without any injuries and missed Guy. They could not use Guy as a bargaining chip to exchange for Sean Bathier, and the wing defense was flawed.
The Warriors selected Patrick O'Brient, a high center with poor athletic ability, and the management's vision was worrying.
The Magic chose Redick, and the 76ers chose center Hilton Armstrong...
There are not many strong players in 2006, and many Guo Xu don’t know each other. The Rockets chose Sapo Seifrosa, a swingman with excellent defense. Although he is not as good as Bathir, he is suitable for the team and can strengthen his wings.
The 22nd Nets' selection of Kyle Lowry is a big change. They do not lack point guards, and the "little cannon" style is not suitable for partnering with Jason Kidd. He is just a person who doesn't need it and has to trade it out.
Sure enough, the Nets soon announced a deal with the Suns, and replaced David Lee.
This deal immediately sparked heated discussions online. Last season, David Lee averaged 10+10 per game in the regular season, with the potential to become a high-quality inside player. He was selected into the Best Rookie Team, and the Suns seemed to have suffered a lot.
In this era of scarcity of insiders, other teams regard big men with data as treasures. David and Lee should be non-selling products. But the Suns easily sent it away, and fans said they could not understand.
In fact, the Suns couldn't keep David Lee anymore. He wanted to leave himself, so he applied for a transaction with the economic man after the championship party.
David Lee is a smart man. He guessed that he was in the Suns in the future and was very embarrassed. He was eager to get more ball rights. Now the transaction is good and the separation is good. After playing next season, he will have no data and the transaction value plummeted.
Next season, Marion will definitely want it to come back. How much playing time does David Lee get? He will definitely have to play as a substitute.
Going to the Nets is the most suitable for David Lee. The Nets lack people in the inside, and Costic is not bad.
