Chapter 58: Draft prospects

　　 Sun Hao was still thinking about the scene of playing with Turkoglu in front of him.
　　 The two are really in good harmony.
　　If he continues to choose to stay in Europe, playing with Bodilloga will only be stronger.
　　 If you think so, staying is also very exciting.
　　 Feeling someone walking towards him, he temporarily put away his thoughts.
　　 The Lakers scouts seem to be in their sixties, in stark contrast to those around them in their 30s and 40s.
　　 And he asked Sun Hao if he had dunked before, so Sun Hao was very impressed with him.
　　 "You can play the NBA."
　　 When he came up, he threw a huge candy to Sun Hao.
　　 "Thank you."
　　 Sun Hao took him as a compliment and replied with a smile.
　　 The scout stretched out his hand to him and motioned to a place with few people to talk.
　　 Sun Hao nodded and agreed.
　　 At the end of the trial training, it was originally the time to negotiate terms with the team and the players.
　　 Turkoglu has been surrounded by scouts.
　　 This is the same scene as when the Hongyuan team and Yi Jianlian tried out together.
　　The improvement is that somehow he also has scouts.
　　 "Your strengths and weaknesses are obvious, offense is your strength, and you have a very good heart, the last two goals in the first one-on-one."
　　 "Your defense is limited by your height and you will suffer when you are dislocated, but that can be improved. You haven't learned defensive skills, so that's not a problem."
　　 When he walked to the side, the scout was straightforward and told his evaluation of Sun Hao all at once, and he was really professional.
　　 "Thank you."
　　 Sun Hao found that he had nothing to say but thank you.
　　 The other person is like an elder who sees everything through.
　　 "I can give you a draft promise."
　　 But the other party's next words made Sun Hao look up at him.
　　 This is... the draft promise?
　　 Why does it sound a bit unreliable?
　　 And because he was an NCAA assistant in his previous life, he still knows the responsibilities of some NBA jobs.
　　 is like a scout, divided into two categories.
　　 The first category is called potential scouts, which are also the kind of scouts most people are familiar with.
　　 Their main responsibility is to evaluate the players' abilities and potential.
　　The representative figure here is Ivanka Dukan, the legendary scout of the Bulls.
　　 The Croatian discovered Kukoc, the super sixth man of the Bulls Dynasty, and later discovered players such as Mirotic for the Bulls.
　　 Most of the scouts here today are of this type.
　　 The second category is called advanced scouts.
　　 Their work is mainly responsible for investigating opponents, including tactical characteristics, game habits, team weaknesses, etc., and helping coaches make tactical arrangements.
　　 This is already a teaching assistant-like existence.
　　This kind of scouts is rare, and they are generally experienced old guys.
　　 Sun Hao felt that the man in front of him looked like he was old.
　　 But even senior scouts do not have the right to make draft promises.
　　 Because that is the right of the team general manager.
"you do not believe me?"
　　 As expected, older people have insight, and he immediately felt Sun Hao's thoughts.
　　 "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Bill Burtka, the Scouting Director of the Lakers."
　　Botka just looks like an old man now, smiling and reaching out to Sun Hao.
　　 Sun Hao was taken aback.
　　 the name, he knows it!
　　 The Lakers have many legends, such as head coach Phil Jackson, such as many famous "Magic" Johnson, "logl man" Jerry West, and now the "OK combination" Kobe and O'Neal.
　　 Bill Burtka is one of them.
　　 His influence is not as great as those above, but he is extremely famous in the circle.
　　 This legendary scout has been a scout for the Lakers since 1968. He was the first scout to appear, and he can be called the godfather of scouting.
　　 Sun Hao had heard of him before and never met a real person, but he did not expect to see him here!
　　 The Lakers attach great importance to this joint trial!
　　 But it is understandable that the Lakers just won their first NBA championship since 1988 last season, and the OK combination has reached the top.
　　 A new dynasty is about to be established, and the Lakers must regain their glory.
　　 The team performed well, but this also means that the draft will become difficult.
　　 As the team with the top record in the regular season last season, they only have two draft picks in the new season, one with the 30th overall pick in the first round and one with the 60th overall pick in the second round.
　　 The 30th pick can basically be role players, and the 60th pick generally can't play in the NBA.
　　 Under this premise, it is not surprising that they set their sights overseas.
　　 Europe is the place where overseas players have the highest level.
　　 Not to mention this joint trial, including some players from Africa and Russia.
"You know me?"
　　Botka asked with a smile.
"heard about it."
　　 Sun Hao nodded, and shook hands with Burtka.
　　 "Then you believe what I said?"
"Believe."
　　 This kind of legend, what position is not important, what is important is the right to speak.
　　 The new general manager of the Lakers, Kupchak, is probably a child in front of him.
　　 "I will try to trade the second-round pick to select you. This is a promise."
　　Botka continued.
　　 Sun Hao continued to nod when he heard this, but there was a bit of bitterness on his face unconsciously.
The meaning of 　　 is that if the right second-round pick can be traded, he will be selected.
　　 In other words, if the transaction fails, the promise does not actually exist.
　　 But he didn't care too much, after all, this was the first trial, and it was already a good deal to get the draft promise.
　　 And thinking of Ginobili, he feels better again.
　　 There is no comparison, no harm, no matter how miserable, he is better than him!
　　 "Don't be discouraged, my child, you are good enough, and we will provide a second trial opportunity. If you train well after the interview, I may try to persuade them to change their minds and choose you with the first-round pick."
　　Botka can really perceive people's hearts, and he can tell from his words that he loves Sun Hao.
　　 After all, there is only one first-round pick a year, and he can't decide it with a single word. It can only be decided after repeated research by a team.
　　 Sun Hao nodded.
　　 At this time, the NBA's approach to European guards is basically to select you in the second round, then stock them, or attach more importance to sending a trainer to follow you.
　　 As for whether he can play in the NBA, it depends on the follow-up performance.
　　 like Ginobili is the most typical example.
　　 The two then talked about other things.
"I hope to see you in training camp, but from my personal point of view, I suggest that you play in Europe for another year, or I can recommend you to the NCAA, which will give you a draft pick A big improvement, you know you are only 18 years old now."
　　Botka really appreciates Sun Hao.
　　 The older you get, the more demon you are. No matter what your profession, you will be very accurate after a long time.
　　 As the originator of the scout world, he can see Sun Hao's potential.
　　 "Thank you."
　　 Sun Hao finally said the most common words in the conversation between the two.
　　Botka finally patted Sun Hao on the shoulder and left.
　　 After talking here, Turkoglu also talked about it.
　　 And there are scouts coming over to find Sun Hao one after another.
　　 But unlike Bertka, these teams are basically looking for him to go to the second tryout.
　　 The first trial is just like the first time you meet on a blind date. Not many people can meet each other at once.
　　 After all the talk was over, Sun Hao basically knew it.
　　 If he runs this year and wants to get a higher pick, he still has to impress these scouts in the following trial.
　　After the trial training was over, Sun Hao walked out of the training hall.
　　 "Sun."
　　 Someone called him as soon as he came out.
　　 turned his head and saw that it was Calderon.
　　 Before the two had zero communication during the trial training, they did not expect the other party to wait for themselves here.
　　 "You haven't left yet?"
　　 Sun Hao didn't know what Calderon was going to do, so he spoke politely.
　　 Calderon walked up to him~EbookFREE.me~ You... got the draft promise? "
　　 Sun Hao glanced at Calderon. This question was a bit straightforward.
　　 "No, I think it might only be available in Turkoglu."
　　 Sun Hao replied "honestly".
　　Bertka gave it almost the same as it didn't. Who knows if they can trade for the pick.
　　 You must know that although it is the second round, the Lakers won the championship lineup basically unchanged.
　　 In other words, it is difficult for them to trade current players for the second round. As for future draft picks, generally teams will be very cautious.
　　 Of course, more importantly, he is not familiar with Calderon.
　　 I’m not familiar with it, so I don’t need to know everything.
　　 What's more, both of them are competitors, and it is not good for him.
　　 "Neither did I, nor did they invite me to a second tryout. These Americans have too much prejudice against our European defenders."
　　 After hearing Calderon's words behind, Sun Hao knew what he had come to do with himself.
　　 This is to spit out and find comfort.
　　 Although this is true.
　　 "Come on, respect is played, the playoffs are about to start, I hope we can meet again."
　　 Sun Hao has no effort to comfort people now, and he is not the kind of person who likes to keep warm after failure.
　　 What he is thinking about now is that after two days of trial training here and two days of delay, the La Liga playoffs will start immediately, and he is anxious to train in the system.
　　 Calderon glanced at Sun Hao, and said nothing.
　　 The Champions League is over, the next La Liga playoffs will be their final stage this season.
　　 If he can play in La Liga, maybe he will get a second tryout.
