The NBA Draft continued, and after the first ten, there were no very powerful stars in the first round.
In the past life of Yang Rui, many people have left their footprints in the NBA. Better ones such as Bunch Wells, Al Harrington, Ricky Davis and others have played beautiful figures and failed to be selected as an All-Star. .
The specific pick of the draft Yang Rui also can't remember, he is not a Transformers, it is impossible to remember everything.
There are many strongmen in the second round of this session. The "Dark Horse" first pushed forward Rashard Lewis. Today he came to the scene and was invited to wait in the "small green house".
The Green House is a special term in the American Sports Draft Conference. In the NBA draft, players who receive an official invitation to enter the draft Green House are generally generated through the vote of the general manager of the NBA team, and ultimately by the vice president of the league. Decide.
Each year's draft, there are generally about 15 players who enter the small green house, and they can be accompanied by relatives and friends to the draft scene. They are people who are likely to become lotto shows, and people who may become stars in the future. This is a kind of honor.
In the draft, the selected players, the on-site officials will give them a cap to pick their team, and then come on stage to shake hands with the NBA president.
entered the second round, the Lakers chose Bryant's lifetime enemy Ruben-Patterson. This guy looked at Kobe as soon as he entered the league. All sorts of faults had a bad influence inside the team. The team traded him away. Then Patterson started wandering around.
His most famous move was to successfully defend Kobe in a game and to proclaim himself "Kobe Terminator" after the game. As a result, Kobe was often beaten again and left a laugh.
Lewis was selected by supersonic third, Yang Rui hurriedly asked: "Glen, can you trade Lewis for a deal? This person is not bad."
"There is no way to trade at the draft. After all, he was predicted that the lottery will fall to this position. The supersonic will not let go casually. Let's go back and discuss first to see what chips are needed."
"Ok."
Yang Rui worked in the Knicks for a season and can understand the management's ideas, but any transaction cannot be done on impulse. This is not buying food, but buying people.
For Lewis' ability, Yang Rui is absolutely convinced that in 1998, Rashad Lewis, who had not attended college, entered the NBA by scoring 27 points at McDonald's star Saihao.
Unfortunately, he set the longest sitting record in the Green House. His total score in the first year of supersonics did not exceed 50 points. It was not until Payton left that Lewis and Ray Allen formed the supersonic gemini, the first two He played very well in 2014.
Therefore, Yang Rui is not in a hurry. This person is very easy to exchange. It is impossible for Supersonic to understand Lewis' future value like him.
Two familiar names of Yang Rui were also in the second round.
"Streetball King" Ralph Alston was selected by the Bucks.
"Old Cat" Catino Mobley was selected by the Rockets in 41st place.
Mobley is only 193cm tall and is a shooting guard. The university is not a graduate of a prestigious school, so he fell into this order. He was seriously underestimated. In the future, Mobley will prove his worth with excellent shots.
Looking at the familiar celebrities being selected, Yang Rui made the final decision. "Glen, the Raptors' defense is not very good. Since you don't choose a defender, then choose a defensive forward. I'm optimistic about Ryan Bowen."
Glen immediately checked Bowen's data. He is 206cm tall, weighs 100kg, has a plain college experience, and has 9 points and 6.7 rebounds. However, he is a recognized defensive expert and can take good care of outside scorers.
A small forward who is not good at scoring, no breakthrough, no body, only mid-range shots are acceptable, fame relies on the desperate Sanlang style, can be regarded as a superb.
Glenn smiled slightly: "Well, just him."
Such a person who must get a basic salary, Glenn has no reason to refuse, not to choose Bowen, he has no good candidates. As long as the second-round rookie in this position can't play well, he can be cut at any time.
Yang Rui was not chosen at random, the person named Bowen was not simple, and the previous life Ryan also had highlight moments.
In the 2005 playoff series against the Mavericks in the 2005 playoffs, Bowen averaged 18 minutes per game, scoring 2.6 points and was responsible for defending Nowitzki.
In seven games with the Rockets, Nowitzki made 128 shots in total and only scored 45 goals. His shooting rate was a pitiful 35.1%, while the regular season shooting rate of Nowitzki was 45.9%. The reason why he lost such a standard is that Bowen followed closely the defensive strategy.
In the 2005-06 season in the Rockets, Bowen played 68 times, including 19 starts, averaging 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per game. Bowen is a defensive man who has been "recognized" by Van Gundy in the Rockets' two seasons.
By relying on defense, Bowen was mixed in the NBA for ten seasons and did not retire until 2010.
Of course, he was destined to be only a marginal person, not a big weapon. Yang Ruixuan did not intend to cut him down. When necessary, he will have a chance to perform.
58 rookies were selected one after another, and the draft conference was over.
Glen breathed a sigh of relief: "Entering the holiday, before the labor agreement is finalized, there is no summer league, no player training can be arranged, you can come to Toronto later."
"Okay, if UU reads www.uukanshu.com, if there are recruitment targets, will you call me to inform me?"
"Of course, you can also participate in meetings and recommend players, but it must be a free person who can easily sign a contract and cannot trade because we lack enough chips."
"I know." Yang Rui smiled and said: "In fact, there is a candidate now. You'd better contact him to let him know our intentions."
"Who?"
"Center Brad Miller." Yang Rui pointed to the draft book.
Miller is 213cm tall and weighs 115kg. He studied at Purdue University from 1994 to 1998. He participated in the NCAA basketball game on behalf of the university. He averaged 17.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
Glenn smiled bitterly: "Then why didn't you just choose him for the second round?"
"Because I know he will lose your letter? This way we can win two good newcomers at no cost. Miller can sign it for a basic salary. He has great potential because of his good health. Can be a meat shield or a cast."
Miller is one of the NBA's most famous rookies. Because he is a white man with poor floor performance and poor athleticism, this year he was completely uninterested and mixed with the Italian secondary league, so Yang Rui did not directly sign him with the second round. Defensive players like Bowen are also needed by the Raptors.
"Okay, I will contact him and take advantage of the announcement that the lockout period has not yet been announced."
Glenn happily met Yang Rui's request. The Raptors inside the new season must be short of people, and there is no contract center.
If there is no well-known insider to join the Raptors in the end, they can only pick people from these unsuccessful rookies.
Glenn didn’t know that although the Raptors were mostly young rookies, the potential of this team was too big to describe!
