The 11-year draft conference was held on June 24 at the Prudential Center Arena in Newark, New Jersey.
As in previous years, the management of the major teams all attended and participated in this annual draft event.
As the representative of the winning champion, the Cleveland Cavaliers boss smiled on his face. In his opinion, this champion will bring new vitality to the team, the Cavaliers will not continue to sink in James' runaway Among the effects.
But he may not think of it, let alone a top pick. Even if he won the top pick in the next four or three years, the Cavaliers are still stuck in the quagmire and have never left the league countdown, let alone return to the playoffs.
It wasn't until James returned to Cleveland in the summer of 14 that the team returned to the playoffs and passed all the way to the finals.
I have to say that the Cavaliers’ vision is really bad. In addition to 11-year champion Kyrie Irving worthy of the number one champion, the remaining two champions are not true, especially the 13th champion Bennett. It is also a famous parallel champion, even surpassing Kwame Brown.
Although the 14th-placed champion Wiggins has performed quite well, he can contribute 20+ points per game, but he is by no means a powerful role. The Timberwolves and the same champion Downs have not been able to enter for two consecutive years. Playoffs.
In fact, the reason why the Cavaliers can choose Irving in 11 years is that Irving’s reputation before the draft is too high, which suppresses all competitors. Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether the Cavaliers will use any strange operation to bury this selection. The only good seedling.
...
As usual, Stern made a stinky and long speech as always, but after the speech, the much-anticipated draft conference officially began.
At the beginning, the Cavaliers chose Kyrie Irving without suspense, with a bright smile on his face. At this time, he was ambitious and wanted to make Cleveland fans completely forget the name of LeBron James.
"The Utah Jazz with the second overall pick is the striker Derek Williams from the University of Arizona."
...
"The Toronto Raptors, with the third overall pick, chose Ines Kanter from the Turkish professional league..."
...
Seeing Stern read out the choices of each team one by one, the Wizards General Manager Glenfield did not have the slightest waves in his mind.
Right now is the NBA's biggest event, the stage of the draft conference, but for his general manager it does not matter.
Although this was the third year, he was used to it, but looking at the smiling Wang Xiao beside him, Glenfield still felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially in the past two years, the Wizards’ record has been rising, exaggerating year by year, and even reached the finals this year, but these honors have nothing to do with his general manager, and even many Wizards fans All ridicule that Glenfield is not even as useful as the team's mascot.
"I can't do it anymore. With the ability, you can choose a few players similar to Curry Harden this year."
While Glenfield thought this, the Cavaliers traded the No. 4 pick from the Clippers.
"The Cavaliers' choice is... Tristan Thompson, the striker of the University of Texas."
The Cavaliers finally chose Irving and Thompson to combine outside.
At this time, Wang Xiao had submitted the decision to the Wizards holding the Timberwolves' fifth sign.
auzw.com When Stern picked up the Wizards’ envelope, he couldn’t help but look twice.
Wang Xiao, this young coach from China has given him too many accidents, especially this year's playoffs actually defeated the Heat Big Three to reach the finals, which he did not expect at all, and Wang Xiao two The rookies chosen over the years have almost become the hottest characters, which makes Stern curious about what choice Wang Xiao will make this year.
However, when he opened the envelope and saw the name written on it, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.
"The Wizards' choice is... defender Klay Thompson from Washington State University!"
When Stern pronounced the name, many of the media who believed that the Wizards would necessarily choose a big man were dumbfounded.
Guard? Wang Xiao actually chose a defender? Isn't his brain ill?
The current Wizards, guards or outside players are almost crowded, point guards include Curry and Beverly, shooting guards have Harden and Green, and George and Butler can also reach the back when needed. Up position.
In this case, Wang Xiao actually chose another defender, what is it for? Will Klay Thompson be a substitute for Harden? Substitutes?
Thompson was also stunned. He walked onto the stage, put on the Wizards baseball cap, and finally smiled when he shook hands with Stern.
Although he didn’t understand what happened, the Wizards are his favorite team. On the one hand, the Wizards’ tactics are very suitable for shooters like him. On the other hand, he studied at Washington State University for three years. All spent in the city of Washington. For the past two years, he has been a loyal fan of the Washington Wizards. Even in the finals, he went to the Wizards to cheer for the team.
However, because he has never contacted and talked with the Wizards’ management, Thompson couldn’t help but feel uneasy. He wouldn’t be selected by the Wizards as a substitute?
Surprised to surprise, the draft is still going on.
"The Sixth overall choice for the Salmonto Kings is... a forward from San Diego State University, Kawhi Leonard."
When Stern pronounced the name, the Spurs' room was already arguing.
"What? The Kings actually chose Kawhi? Damn, the guys didn't even reveal any news before!"
"Greg! We can't hesitate anymore, we won't have a chance if we don't shoot!"
Spurs assistant coach Budenholzer looked at Popovich anxiously, "Believe me, Kawhi is really a good player with the potential of a top superstar. It is absolutely cost-effective to exchange him with George."
Popovich was silent.
George Hill is a player he loves for ten minutes, but he also understands that the Spurs continue to have fresh blood with potential. In this case, everything can be sacrificed...
"Ok……"
Hearing Popovich’s words, Budenholzer immediately lit up and immediately said to the assistant beside him:
Call the general manager of the Kings immediately.

However, a few minutes later, Budenholzer hung up ugly.
"They refused."
"Rejected? Why? George Hill's trading value should be very high. Do they still want the first round of draft picks? It is also true that the sixth round of the first round, the other party's asking price is higher."
Budenholzer shook his head. "No, they didn't make any request, they just returned a sentence...we can't afford it..."
