In another time and space, Klay Thompson was selected by the Warriors at the tenth pick in the first round, while Kawhi Leonard was selected by the Pacers at the fifteenth pick in the first round and was later traded to the Spurs. .
These two players were both members of the small green house at the time, and they were also properly paid attention to by many teams. With the appearance of Wang Xiao, the league team's record has been much higher than that of another time and space. Differently, the change in the butterfly effect may make their draft picks lower, but it may also make their picks higher than before.
Wang Xiao wants to pick them, he must come back with a high pick.
In contrast, Jimmy Butler, who was selected with the 30th pick in the first round, Chandler Parsons with the 8th pick in the second round, and the last one selected in the NBA Draft, almost fell. The Isaiah Thomas is not the focus of the major teams.
If you want to select them, it is naturally easier and easier.
Let me talk about Jimmy Butler first.
Just like what he said when the Timberwolves attacked his teammates.
"I'm not the most talented person on the team. Who is the most talented player? Is Downs. Who is the most favored player? Is Wiggins. Who is the hardest player to play? It's me!"
Butler can be regarded as a model of the counterattack in the league, and its motivation level is no less than that of Arenas.
Butler's talent is average, and his height and arm length are also average in small forwards. At that time, the reason why the Bulls were selected with the 30th overall pick in the first round, just wanted to find Ruhr Deng. A okay role player.
But Butler has grown at an alarming rate in the NBA, taking advantage of Ruhr Deng's injury in the 13-14 season and quickly gaining a foothold in the team, replacing Ruhr Deng as the team's starting small forward.
In terms of experience, Butler and George have a striking similarity. They are also the team’s main strength after injury, but the difference is that George is better than Butler in all aspects of physical fitness and talent. This is from the draft. Can also be seen on the.
George was selected as the tenth overall pick in the first round. A proper small green house member. Although selected by the Pacers as a substitute for Danny Granger, he was actually trained as the team’s future main force. .
Jimmy Butler, who was indeed selected at the 30th overall pick in the first round, almost fell to the second round and was not valued by the team at all. The positioning in the team is an ordinary rotation role player.
Also in the rookie season, George played as a substitute for Granger, averaging 20 minutes per game, while Butler as a substitute for Ruhr Deng only averaged 8 minutes per game.
In this case, Butler can grow in adversity, and eventually become the league's first-class star, it is very commendable.
...
Next, it was Chandler Parsons with the 8th pick in the second round.
In 2019, Parsons is already a well-known example of "high salary and low energy".
In 2016, the Memphis Grizzlies sent Parsons a four-year contract with a maximum salary of $94.8 million. After receiving this big contract, Parsons' status declined rapidly. He only averages 7 points and 2 rebounds per game, and can only play more than 30 games per season.
With a salary of more than 20 million yuan a year, but doing the job of substitute players, Parsons, who spends his leisure time, has even been nicknamed "money is paid. I am afraid of things."

However, let's not talk about Parsons' degenerate career. Just taking out the previous seasons of his career, this is a very good player.
Parsons has a high basketball IQ, comprehensive offensive skills, active running, good use of cover, has the ability to shoot purely, is also very active on the defensive end, can defend most players in positions 2 and 3, and can also play in When playing power forward, defend the opponent's No. 4 player, fight fiercely and never fear physical confrontation.
After the rookie season, he averaged 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game for the second season of the Rockets, and even better than Danny Green without a big contract. Role player.
More importantly, his pick is only the 8th pick in the second round. If combined, it is absolutely good and cheap.
...
The last one is hanging the tail of the draft, and the last one selected is Isaiah Thomas.
Thomas is not optimistic. This is a normal thing. Even if he shows the top speed of the point guard and breaks through like lightning, he still cannot make up for the defects in his height.
The height of 1.75 meters is the direct reason why most teams in the league reject him.
Throughout the history of the NBA, there are few players of this height who can score, and they can be counted with one hand.
Potato Weber at 1.69 meters, career average of 9.9 points and 5.3 assists.
Boykins, 1.65, averaged 8.9 points and 3.2 assists per game.
Borges, 1.60, averaged 7.7 points and 7.6 assists per game.
Nate Robinson averaged 11 points and 3 assists at 1.75 meters.
This is what can be counted in the history of the league, a short player with a height of 1 meter 7 or lower who can also play basketball for more than 10 years in the league.
Under such big data, even a trivial second-round pick, no one wants to waste it on Thomas.
However, it turns out that Thomas is definitely worthy of the title of "the strongest surface of 1 meter 75".
In the third season of his career, the Kings averaged 20 points and 6 assists per game, and the field goal percentage can be kept above 45%.
Then, after arriving at the Celtics, Thomas Jr. ushered in the peak period. In the third season of the Celtics, Thomas Jr. averaged 28.9 points and 5.9 assists per game, making the entire league do it. Shocked, at that time Thomas Jr. even even made a bold statement that the Celtics wanted to renew his contract. He would at least drive a cash transporter.
It is a pity that the flag may have been established too early. After playing the best season in his career, Thomas was traded to the Cavaliers in exchange for the top pick Kyrie Irving with him, the first pick in 11 years and the final pick in 11 years. 'S rookie finished swapping clubs, and then Thomas Jr. quickly fell due to injuries and the inability to adapt to a strange system.
Of course, although it is the strongest at 1.75 meters on the surface, Thomas has many flaws. The most obvious point is defense. The too short height makes it almost a misalignment with any player on the field. Although the defense is very hard, But the huge height gap makes it often become a black hole on the court.
However, Wang Xiao is not looking for a starter, and does not need to consider this issue at all.
