Chapter 438 [Target, two swingers! 】
The next day, Yang Rui sent an email to Kupchak with four draft targets, two preferred and two alternatives.
The No. 8 pick is the swingman Andre Iguodala, who is 198cm tall and weighs 95kg. The template is Pippen.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Iguodala's greatest achievement was to win the 2015 championship and finals MVP, and played a significant role in defending James.He's an all-around fighter, but not a leader, so he's been leading the 76ers to the brink of the playoffs when his numbers are good.
Alternate Andris Biedrins, a Latvian center with a height of 211cm and a weight of 109kg, has great physical fitness and yet to be developed.
The Lakers can only play Yao Ming, Odom, Robert Hawley, Brian Cook, and still need big men.
Bidrings is too skinny to fight against average, free throws and Ben Wallace a level.Yang Rui is not interested in training, knowing that he can't shoot well. The reason for choosing him is that the insider is valuable and can be traded with other teams in exchange for the people the team needs.For example, if you trade down for Josh Smith, the other party can also take a second-round pick for the following year.
Yang Rui believes that the most valuable people in this draft are Iguodala and Josh Smith. Both of them have super physical fitness and are both slam dunk kings. They are highly motivated and versatile in defense, and are worth training.Whether it's a positional fight or a fast break, they can play a role.
Trevor Ariza is the first choice in the second round. He is an excellent role player with strong mobility and the potential to become a 3D player.
He is 203cm tall, weighs 98kg, has a wingspan of 218cm, and has outstanding side data. The reason why he fell to the second round is because his offensive skills are too rough.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Ariza never practiced his offensive skills with the ball, and he was very good without the ball.If you let him attack with the ball, he is "iron slag"...
The second point guard, Chris Duhon, is an instant guard with a height of 185cm and a weight of 84kg.
Du Hong is a Duke University graduate and has played for four years in college. He lacks potential.He has a breakthrough and average organizational ability. His main scoring method is to shoot three-pointers. He won the 2000 McDonald's High School All-Star Three-Point Contest Championship.He's also more aggressive on defense, which suits the Lakers' system.
Yang Rui remembered that Ariza was relatively late in the draft and should be able to be selected. For point guards, he prefers to find veterans in the free market, and does not need to have the strength to play as a starter. The focus is to impart game experience to rookies.
On June 6, the 25 draft was held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
As usual, David Stern was booed by the crowd.The playoffs were fairer last season, but it was useless. The fans just liked booing him. Booing is healthier!
The Magic won the No. [-] pick, and the outside world agreed that Emeka Okafor would become the No. [-] pick. He is an instant center.The Magic chose high school center Dwight Howard, and the management prefers to bet on Howard's talent.
Jordan's Bobcats drafted Okafor at No. [-], an excellent defensive center.
Jordan called Yang Rui and proposed to join forces. Yang Rui said that he already had a choice and refused.
The Sonics drew the third overall pick and selected dual-energy guard Ben Gordon.
The Bucks fired George Karl, leaving Ray Allen as the core team.After Payton left, the Sonics played badly without a star to join.Ben Gordon will definitely be cultivated by the SuperSonics as the core. Rashad Lewis is not the boss and won't grab the ball. The two don't know what kind of spark they can create.
The Clippers, which have been at the bottom of the list for consecutive years, ranked fourth, and manager Elgin Baylor chose high school guard Sean Livingston.Livingston is skinny like a drug addict, and he can't fight at first glance, but the Clippers management believes that he can become a star point guard with a height of 201cm.
This is the vision of Lord Baylor, and it will ship soon.
The Hawks selected swingman Josh Childress at No. [-]. Although the Hawks were rumored to trade guard Terry, they skipped Devin Harris.
In sixth place, the Warriors chose point guard Devin Harris, the fastest player in this draft.
The seventh is the 76ers, which is also the team that makes Yang Rui the most nervous.Fortunately, the 76ers' first choice was not Iguodala. They chose swingman Roel Deng, an immediate force at the small forward position.
Luo Er Deng's physical fitness is not as good as Iguodala, but he has a comprehensive skill.In Yang Rui's previous life, Luo Er Deng was chosen by the bulls, so they went and came second.
In the eighth place, the Lakers successfully selected Iguodala, and a superman got it.
In front of the TV, Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief.Iguodala is an excellent seed, and he is also an immediate force. He played very well in the first season of the 76ers. He can help the team on both ends of the offense and defense, and he is very powerful when he is on the fast break.
With Kobe on the team, Iguodala doesn't need to hold the ball, just do what he is good at.Yang Rui intends to train him into a player like Marion. He will mainly score in empty cuts and fast breaks, and he will be qualified if he is well trained in positional warfare. If he is trained well, he will be a perfect 3D player.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Iguodala played the core role of the 76ers. At his peak, he posted luxurious data of 19.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists, but the efficiency was not high. The 76ers wanted him to be No. [-], but he turned out to be nothing, and he was more efficient off the ball.
The Cavaliers ranked ninth with a record of neither high nor low. They chose center Rafael Arauyo, a meat shield center with a height of 211cm and a weight of 125kg, with poor physical fitness and a wingspan. Oops.
In Yang Rui's previous life, this man was selected by the Raptors with the eighth overall pick. He had no ball to play in only three seasons, and his poor defense made it impossible for him to gain a foothold in the NBA.In college, he could bully his peers by virtue of his weight. When he entered the NBA, there were too many people who could resist him, and his speed became a disadvantage.
Yang Rui suspects the James tragedy. At least next season, the Cavaliers' record will be difficult to improve.
The teams that the later powerful players went to have not changed much from Yang Rui's previous life, and it doesn't matter if there are changes.
Al Jefferson still went to the Celtics. The Green Army lacked a meat shield center. He was an underrated rookie, but he had obvious shortcomings, slow lateral movement, strong offense and weak defense.
JR Smith was selected by the Hornets. He has potential. Yang Rui does not know if he will meet Byron Scott. The Hornets will change their coaches this summer. If Smith meets a good coach, he may be stronger. Some.
In the second round, the Lakers selected Ariza at No. 8. In this way, the Lakers’ starting benches at No. 2 and No. 3 are available. A strong man like Devin George who plays with his body has no place in the team. It is a good bargaining chip to trade out in the summer, and Yang Rui already has a candidate in mind.
After the draft was over, Yang Rui called Kupchak and expressed his satisfaction.
Kupchak asked: "What are we going to do next?"
"Come on another person and try to give away George, I hope the other party will like it." Yang Rui replied.
"Is this good? Although George's statistics last season were average, he has played for 5 seasons and has rich experience. If he leaves and does not renew Fox's contract in the summer, our forwards will be all rookies." Kupchak smiled bitterly.
"Trust me, the striker is fine. If we can, we will also trade out Robert Horry. Cook can shoot threes. The two of them overlap. Horry can't run. Can't make a meat shield."
"With whom?"
"eagle!"
