Eight hundred and twentieth chapters [three rookies, cheap must pick up]
The ninth place in the Bobcats selected 183cm point guard DJ Augustin, which made people confused the purpose of the management, because the team selected short point guard Raymond Felton in 2005.
If the Bobcats don't trade Augustine in the summer, he will only be on the bench for a few minutes in the new season. If he and Felton are on the outside, there will be no need to defend.
The 10th place in the Kings selected high center forward Brooke Lopez, and the manager was very excited because Lopez was their number one target, and it would be a bit surprising that no one fell to this position. What the Kings lacked the most is center forward, and relying solely on Hawys was not enough.
Lopez is one of the best inside players in this draft. He is 213cm tall and weighs 125 kilograms. He has stable mid-range shots and excellent low-post footsteps, and has super offensive ability.
The Bulls ranked 11th against the poor tall and thin inside Jason Thompson.
The Pistons ranked 12th in the double-sports guard Jerry Bayless. After sending Billups away, they had to have a headache looking for the defender.
The Warriors ranked 13th with power forward Anthony Randolph, a tall and thin inside with strong athletic ability.
The 14 Nuggets selected swingman Brandon Rush, which is the swingman they urgently need. Last season, Anthony Carter and Iverson were often criticized for being a scumbag on the outside, and JR Smith was not very good on the bench to defend.
The Timberwolves selected Robin Lopez as the 15th place, and chose a center substitute for Al Jefferson. There are many high-quality inside players this year, and any one of them is an excellent defensive blue-collar worker. In Guo Xu's previous life, Robin was still the center of the Bulls in 2018, and he was an excellent meat shield.
Guo Xu watched the live broadcast of the draft on TV, and was not worried that the Suns would not be able to select the right player. He has provided Brian with 4 rosters, three of which chose one alternative.
This year, the Suns have three draft picks, 23 in the first round, 28 in the first round, and 43 in the second round. Two of the draft picks come from the deal with the Magic, one is the first round of our team, and the second round of our team's pick trade is out.
The Raptors chose Marlis Sbetts in the 16th place, with a height of 208cm and a weight of 116 kg. He and Bosh are quite suitable for him. They have enough strength to withstand people and have shooting ability, but they are just a little short.
The Pacers ranked 17th with center Roy Hibert. In the future, Bosh is a superstar, and the other players are unique players who are "Gao Yuanyuan".
The Grizzlies 18 selected Javier McGee.
This result was very satisfying to the Grizzlies management. McGee is 213cm tall, weighs 122kg, has a wingspan of 229cm, and has a strong physical fitness and has the potential to become a super defensive player. He fell to this position because his skills were too rough and lacked range.
76ers and 19 selected JJ Hickson. In the past, the draft picks of each team were similar to Guo Xu’s previous life, and this year it was all messed up. There were too many butterfly effects, and the rankings and strengths of each team have changed, and the players needed are also different.
20 Nets selected center Alex Akinsa, and the inside line was strengthened one step closer. In the previous life, Nets chose the withdrawal inside line Ryan Anderson. Now that David Lee is in the team, the management has changed its mind.
The Hornets selected Ryan Anderson in the 21st place. They lacked power forwards. Last season, Lewis played the No. 4 position, and the counter-control and rebounding were bad. Anderson's style is very suitable for partnering with Paul, and he is good at receiving and shooting.
The 22nd Hawks selected center Costa Covers, a blue-collar worker with a height of 213cm and a weight of 120 kilograms. In half a season, the Hawks coaching staff knew that Murphy was not good at playing center. He had more rebounds than just a backcourt board, and his defense was still poor.
Finally it was the Suns' turn. They chose Sergi Ibaka in the 23rd place, with a height of 208cm, a weight of 110 kg, and an arm span of 226cm, and can play in the center and power forward.
Ibaka's draft template is the famous "Rain Man" Kemp, which shows how powerful his physical fitness is. He can fall to 23 and no one cares about it because he has a two-year contract with the Spanish team and cannot log in to the NBA immediately.
He has the speed of a small forward, bounce at the dunk contest level, and has a certain mid-range shooting ability. If he can join the NBA immediately, it will definitely be a lottery show.
The Suns will keep Ibaka in Spain for training next season, and he doesn't need to join the team to become the immediate combat power. Because the team is not short of inside players now, only one person with Gasol Jr. can get enough playing time.
The Suns did not encounter any competition when choosing Ibaka. In Guo Xu's previous life, the Thunder traded a No. 24 pick to choose Ibaka because they lacked insiders. This year they did not trade draft picks. Al Horford already has Al Horford in the team, with stronger comprehensive abilities and the potential to become an All-Star.
The Mavericks selected the swingman Kootenley Lee, a good player who is in combat.
The Lakers selected Darrell Arthur, a power forward with a height of 206cm and a weight of 107kg, has the ability to shoot in the middle and athletic ability. There are too many strong people on the wing of the team, and they missed the swinging Batum.
The Jazz selected French young player Nicholas Batum. Quentin Richardson performed poorly last season, shooting less than 40% from the field. Batum can be his substitute for Kirillenko at the 2nd and 3rd positions.
The Cavaliers chose the swingman Dante Green. The Rockets exchanged him for Artest in their previous life. A guy who is only good at pulling jump shots and gambling. The Summer League unexpectedly broke out.
The Spurs chose double-season defender George Hill, a player they had long been optimistic about.
It was the Suns' turn to choose again, and they chose center DeAndrew Jordan.
Jordan, who was invited to join the "Green House" to participate in the draft, saw that he was about to fall into the second round and was almost dying. He had top physical fitness, but his skills were too rough. He was beaten by almost all insiders in the training camp, and his evaluation of the draft was declining again and again. He was better than Bogut and Bagnani, the No. 1 picks.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Jordan Jr. could not practice his skills and shooting, so he looked down on this pure blue-collar worker. However, the team's first round pick is obviously the most cost-effective, and he will be the most valuable bargaining chip if he trades in the future.
When there is no clear draft goal, it is absolutely right to choose a center with good physical fitness, and many teams will be willing to bet on his talent.
Jordan Jr. is not useless after joining the Suns. He is very fast after pick-and-roll, and passing it to him is a dunk. If the opponent fouls in time, it will be more tormenting. Teammates have to see him free throws, and they often get three-no-touch.
There are also some good role players in the second round. Center Pekovic, who cannot enter the NBA for the time being, was selected by the Trail Blazers and is likely to encounter a curse.
The Timberwolves selected point guard Mario Chanmos, and this year's NCAA's final four mop is not favored at all.
The Bucks chose Luke Richard Bamot away, which is the combat-defensive wing.
The Bulls selected center Omir Asik...
When it was the Suns' choice again, Brian chose Slovenian player Golan Dragic, a double-energy guard with a height of 191cm and a weight of 86 kilograms.
Dragic has excellent ball control ability and has a three-point shooting range beyond the three-point line. In his previous life, Guo Xu was an excellent second-rate star. In his peak 2016-17 season, he averaged 33.7 minutes per game with the Heat, scoring 20.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 47.5%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.5%.
Joining the Suns is bad news for Dragic. He has to be a substitute for Guo Xu and Lowry. Even if he can play a guest role as a point guard, he can't play for a long time. He was targeted by the Rebirth. Guo Xu felt that it would be a brainless person to not pick up the price. He left Dragic to other teams. Those people would not thank Guo Xu, and they would just not renew the contract in the future.
