Chapter 320: Rudy Gobert

If you want to get Gobert, the task of this draft meeting is basically completed.
As for the Wizards' No. 30 pick, the previously decided Allen Crabbe just did it for Wang Xiao.
Regarding Crabbe, Wang Xiao has a little impression. He is one of the few players in this round who played a certain level in 13 years.
In another time and space, after being selected by the Blazers in the second round, Crabbe did not get many opportunities in the first two seasons, averaging only about 2 points, but in the third season, which is the 15-16 season, he finally waited After the opportunity, as a substitute, he averaged 26.1 minutes per game and could contribute 10.3 points.
Subsequent 16-17 seasons, averaging 10.7 points, 13.2 points in the 17-18 season and 9.6 points in the 18-19 season.
Such data is definitely not good, but as a substitute player, it can be considered quite satisfactory.
The Wizards guard line is currently only Curry, Thompson, Thomas, George, Jimmy Butler, etc. Although they can make guest shooting guards, but after all a bit awkward, choose such a backup guard in case there is no problem.
...
With the continuation of the draft conference, the major teams have begun to move.
The quality of the players in this draft conference was indeed dissatisfied with many teams, so a lot of transactions soon occurred. These selected players did not even see the top of the team and were informed by the agent. He has traded him to other teams.
This is normal. After all, there are no players who have the potential to train. Not every team wants to stay.
Gobert selected by the Wizards felt very nervous.
When Stern announced that he was drafted by the Wizards, Gobert was about to start his jaw.
That's the Wizards, the strongest team in the league!
Although he announced his participation in the NBA Draft before, neither Gobert nor his agent had any hope for the outcome of this draft.
The American scouts gave Gobert a bad evaluation.
Draft template Javier McGee? What the is this?
In addition to mixing a championship trophy with the Wizards, what other honors does McGee have? Is he strong in the league?
In the simulation prediction before the draft, Gobert even fell into the second round.
This result is actually not surprising. After all, even the top European center like Gasol Jr. did not fall into the second round when he participated in the draft. Then Gasol Jr. used his own strength to become an All-Star player, and Gobert was confident to do what Gasol Jr. has done.
However, in this tragic atmosphere, Stern announced that he was selected in the sixteenth pick! It was Wang Xiao who selected him!
Today, any player who participates in the draft can't possibly know Wang Xiao's name, has a unique vision, and has a solid foundation. However, almost all the players selected by him are not worth the money.
Is Gobel chosen by Wang Xiao now, does it mean that he has the potential that Wang Xiao values?
The moment he took office, Gobert and his agent fell into ecstasy.
But after stepping down, he calmed down a little, and the two began to worry again.
News of nba team trades is frequent, and many teams trade selected rookies as chips.
Who can guarantee that their selection by Wang Xiao is not regarded as a bargaining chip?
Gobert really wanted to play in the Wizards. He also knew that the Wizards’ main center would leave this summer. There will be no center in the team. If he goes to the Wizards, he will get a lot of opportunities.
That's why he didn't want to be traded by the Wizards. He wanted to get this opportunity.

What made him and his agent breathless was that until the end of the entire draft, they did not get any trading notice. The Wizards did not trade him as a bargaining chip, at least for now.
"Rudy, it seems that your luck is very good." Gobert's agent smiled "excitedly" on his face. "It looks like the Wizards want to use you as a substitute for Whiteside. Think about it. The centers that the Wizards have gone out over the years, Haywood, Jordan Jr., McGee, and Whiteside, who are leaving soon, are all starting with a tens of millions of annual salary! Take this opportunity! You can!"
"Yes!" Gobert nodded vigorously.
...
"Did I lose?"
In the Wizards box, Wang Xiao looked at Mallory, and then turned to look at the lively Curry who had been beside him.
"How do I remember that I guessed more than you?"
"Why! You were right a little bit more right from the start, and basically didn't make a guess until the 20th pick in the first round!" Mallory counted with his fingers: "The first round signed me I guessed about 7 right, and I also guessed 8 in the second round, which is definitely more than you!"
"Okay..." Wang Xiao was helpless.
2013 was a draft year. The second round of rookies later basically had no ball to play. The few players who can still be mixed in the league are also benches. How can Wang Xiao remember their names? Basically it's just looking at the draft pick list.
In fact, Mallory is also blind, but obviously her luck is a little better than Wang Xiao, and she is quite right.
"If I lose, I can promise you a request." Wang Xiao said: "But it depends on the specific situation, if your request is not particularly outrageous or excessive."
"Relax, no." Mallory's eyes completed the crescent and said with a grin: "I haven't thought about it for now, I think I will contact you in the future."
Mallory already has Wang Xiao's phone number, and is not worried that Wang Xiao will be reached.
...
The little girl went back. Although she was in New York, she could not go home too late. After all, the security in the United States was not particularly good.
Curry didn't know when he got together.
"Coach, good eyesight, we didn't even know when we got it."
Curry's words made Wang Xiao stunned.
What vision? What got it? baffling……
Looking at Wang Xiao's suspicious look, Curry was not surprised.
"Isn't that girl just the coach's girlfriend?"
Girlfriend?
Wang Xiao stumbled and nearly fell, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Curry.
"That's just a little girl under 18! What are you thinking?"
"It's not a little girl at the age of 18..." Curry shrank his neck. "Well, I saw the coach next to the girl for the first time, thinking she was your girlfriend."
Wang Xiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He wasn't a loicn. If a few years later, Mallory, who is in the mature stage of "sex" after 20 years, he might be emotional, but now...
He suddenly froze.
"Yep?"
