Xie Kai was still a little surprised by Thaddeus Faucher's answer—I'm so expensive?
Xie Kai's surprise was not unreasonable. You must know that OJ Mayo is not a parallel importer, and the Grizzlies' No. 12 pick is also a lottery pick.Looking at it this way, he is equivalent to changing two lottery picks.
OJ Mayo was the third pick in the 2008 draft. He was selected by the Timberwolves and then traded to the Grizzlies.In his rookie season, he averaged 18.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks per game.In the end, he was selected to the first team of the rookie team of the year, and lost to the top pick Derrick Rose with a slight disadvantage, and missed the title of best rookie.
Even if it is pushed forward, Mayo was once the "No. [-] shooting guard in the United States". If it is pushed forward, he is still the "No. [-] high school student in the United States" and is known as "the next LeBron James".
Although his performance in college was not as eye-catching as in high school, Mayo still entered the NBA as a No. 18.5 show, which shows that NBA scouts are still very optimistic about him.And he is indeed a guard with excellent immediate combat power. He can play two positions in the backcourt. He has mature skills, can shoot suddenly, and has stable scoring ability.The rookie averaged [-] points per game in the season, which is not bad for a prospect, and has nothing to do with parallel imports.
But his flaws have been rumored in the market, which really makes the Grizzlies a little helpless.Mayo's rookie season was 18.5+3.8+3.8, but in the second season, his average data became 2+17.5+3.8. In the case of no significant increase in efficiency, his data basically did not increase. This season, his average playing time is 3 minutes!In the case of stable possession of the ball, standing still is indeed a bit disappointing.Even though his statistics are better than many 38 players in the league, he still can't meet the expectations of the Grizzlies and the outside world.
In the NBA, instant combat power is often not as popular as raw jade with great potential, unless your immediate combat power reaches Tim Duncan's level, even if you are a senior?Still a proper No. [-] pick!
Compared with Mayo, Xie Kai's rookie season data is 22.6 minutes per game, 12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.Although he is not as good as Mayo in terms of scoring average, which is 6 points behind, but in terms of other statistics, he completely beats his opponents.It is worth mentioning that he averaged these data in 22.6 minutes per game. If converted to an average of 38 minutes per game, his scoring average exceeds the opponent.
If you just compare the rookie season data and performance of the two, the Grizzlies may not use a single exchange to get Xie Kai.But in the second season of the two, the performance gap appeared.
Xie Kai averaged 33.2 minutes per game and contributed 22 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.
If it's just because Xie Kai has more ball possessions to score points, it's wrong. Both of them are Xie Kai winning in terms of statistics and efficiency.Not to mention that Xie Kai started only 39 games in one season.
In the several contests between the two teams this season, Xie Kai and Mayo faced each other in many cases, and the former's performance was a complete victory over the opponent.
Xie Kai has not only surpassed his opponent in Mayo's most outstanding score, but there is also a big gap between the two in terms of defense, organizational offense, and willpower. At least from this season, the former has crushed almost every aspect the latter.
One has mediocre potential but still has excellent immediate combat power, and the other has just won the Most Improved Player, with an average of 22+6+5 potential stocks + immediate combat power. It is completely unnecessary to think about who is better up.
Mayo is not only inferior to Xie Kai in terms of personal performance. He has some problems with his performance in the locker room and his relationship with his teammates. In addition, his personal life is relatively chaotic, which eventually prompted the Grizzlies to decide to send him away. .
Another protagonist in this deal-Xavier Henry was born in a basketball family, and his parents and brother both played at the University of Kansas.
In this way, Henry can be regarded as Xie Kai's junior at the University of Kansas.It's just that the two have never been on the same team. Xie Kai participated in the draft in June 2008, while Henry officially announced to join the University of Kansas on April 6, 09.
Henry was selected to the 2010 NCAA Rookie of the Year Team selected by "Sporting News"; he was selected to the NCAA Rookie Team of the Year selected by "FOX Sports Network" in 2010.After the freshman season, he declared for the NBA draft, becoming the first player in Kansas team history to join the NBA after the freshman season.
It is definitely not easy to become a lottery pick. Henry has a stable outside shooting, has a height advantage that is rare in the same position, and is physically strong, with an impressive basketball IQ.He has a very good NBA body, is a very good shooter, has a 3-point range, and his shots are also very fast, and his finishing ability at the close basket is also extremely strong.
But Henry has more obvious shortcomings: his athletic ability is only average, his ball handling ability is average, his offense relies too much on jump shots, his assist ability is average, and his performance is unstable.
In college, Henry's physical condition was considered excellent and fully adequate, but in the NBA, a proud man like Mayo would still be crushed by those talented wing talents, let alone Henry.
Henry's technical characteristics and his physical condition make it difficult to become a superstar, but he has the opportunity to become an excellent functional player and a qualified puzzle piece for a strong team.
Xie Kai exchanged 1 for 2. In this way, the Kings did not appear to be short of major generals at the 2nd position, but instead became sufficient.Mayo played the starter, Henry played the bench, complement each other!
After Xie Kai's transaction happened, it caused heated discussions in the United States.Many Kings fans think that it is not a good deal to use a quasi-All-Star guard to get an old prospect with little potential left, and add Henry, who is mediocre and likely to disappear from everyone.
But most sane fans still think that the Grizzlies are sincere enough to use their starting No. 2 + a lottery pick. In the case that Xie Kai will definitely be traded, the Kings must have fully compared other teams The insured price is selected based on merit.
After Xie Kai's transaction happened, not only was there a lot of discussion on the Internet, but also on TV, newspapers, magazines and other traditional media, many NBA celebrities, experts, and reporters came out to analyze and point out the situation, and made a good sense of existence.
It is said that everyone loses, but there is one thing that everyone cannot predict, that is, when the new season has not really started, it is meaningless to say these now.Who knows if Xie Kai will continue to improve in the Grizzlies?Can Henry outperform his draft pick?Can Mayo's change of environment restore the glory of the NCAA's No. [-] shooting guard?
——No one can predict these.
