Chapter 579 [Selected singer, wrestler]

Chapter 579 [Selected singer, wrestler]

The Timberwolves selected Brandon Roy fifth, who was once known as Kobe's successor and nicknamed "Yellow Mamba".

The sixth Portland Trail Blazers selected combo guard Randy Foye in exchange for the draft pick.

At this time, Timberwolves manager McHale was naughty again, and took Roy down for $100 million for Foyega.They were targeting Foye at first, just to intercept other people's targets and trade for a small profit.And if Foye drops one spot, he can save some money when he signs.

For 100 million, McHale replaced the All-Star swingman with an ordinary role player.Roy's combination of sudden points and shooting is very good. In Yang Rui's previous life, if he was not destroyed by injuries, he would be an excellent core of the team.

Also at a loss was the Warriors, who gave the Blazers their first-round pick for often-injured point guard Juan Dixon.

The Warriors want to trade Francis, but getting another vulnerable guy won't make them stronger at the 1.Yang Rui felt that Hornacek went to the Warriors, and it was difficult to rise before he changed his boss in 2009. It was a hard road, and it was much worse than the other three assistant coaches who became coaches.

The Rockets selected power forward Sheldon Williams at No. [-].

At this time, everyone in the Rockets felt that they had found a great deal. This Duke University insider is recognized as an immediate combat force in this draft. He has four years of college experience and is one of the most terrifying inside defenders in the NCAA in recent years. Going straight to Emeka Okafor two years ago.

Sheldon, nicknamed "The Landlord", fell into this position because of his height. He is 202cm barefoot on his side, 204cm in shoes, has an amazing wingspan of 224cm, weighs 117kg, and has a body fat rate of 11.4%. Jump 264CM in place, 74CM maximum run-up jump, 85kg bench press 84 times, run back and forth in the penalty area in 25 seconds, and sprint 11.53 seconds in 3/4 games.

Looking at the body side data, Sheldon is an out-and-out monster, exceptionally strong, and has super mobility.

His joining the Rockets was a good result, complementing Eddie Curry's style of play.

Curry is strong offensively and defensively weak, and can pull out to shoot; Sheldon is rebounding, blocking shots, and grabbing the inside attack. He has solid post-up skills, is good at hooking, and can occasionally make mid-range shots.

Then, to Yang Rui's surprise, the Cavaliers selected forward Rudy Gay with the eighth overall pick.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Rockets traded with the Grizzlies after selecting Gay, in exchange for Shane Battier. After joining the Grizzlies, he scored 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2 assists in the second season of his career.

Gay has the perfect NBA small forward figure, coupled with the jumping level of the trapeze, can easily complete the free throw line dunk.He's fast and agile enough to defend most shooting guards in the NBA.

Gay didn't make the All-Star Game, but he can help the team on both ends of the floor and is an excellent second-rate star.Yang Rui thinks that he is very valuable for training. If he can practice mid-to-long-distance shooting and pass the ball, he has the potential to become a superstar.

Seems like the Cavaliers are on the rise?Although the Cavaliers have not made the playoffs for three consecutive years, the Cavaliers have not signed a bad contract that is not easy to clean up. The only problem with Gay is that he overlaps with James. I don’t know how the Cavaliers will use him.

Yang Rui thought quietly, James is the star of the league, but before 2010, James had an obvious weakness, that is... no group.Gay is weaker than Wade and Bosh, and the Lakers should be able to stabilize the Cavaliers.

The 76ers drafted center Patrick O'Bryant at No. [-]. I don't know for what purpose, but probably thought the big man was more valuable.

The players behind are not too strong, most of them are blue-collar.

The Clippers selected a blue-collar power forward named Cedric Simmons in the first round. Yang Rui has never heard of this guy, so he has some impression of others, at least he has played in the NBA.Elgin Baylor's vision is really accurate, and he can always make a quick dent.

Point guard Rajon Rondo was selected by the Nets. "The base does not attack" and "Long does not shoot" together in one team. The Nets' rebounding ability will be much improved next season.

The Suns chose center Josh Boone, who was eliminated for two consecutive years due to losses in the interior. D'Antoni finally gave up pure small-ball tactics. It is impossible for a team to be without a meat shield.

The Grizzlies selected Kyle Lowry, which is a good gain at the end of the first round. Although the "Little Steel Cannon" is short in size, it is faster, has a strong impact, and has development potential.

The Mavericks selected point guard Jordan Farmar to enhance the strength of the one.

The Bulls also chose a point guard, Spaniard Sergio Rodriguez, who has shooting ability and a sharp breakthrough, but the confrontation is terrible.

The Lakers selected point guard Daniel Gibson with the 30th pick according to Yang Rui's request!

Gibson is 188cm tall and weighs 90kg. As a point guard, he basically has no organizational ability. In Yang Rui's previous life, he fell to the second round and joined the Cavaliers.

He is an underappreciated rookie, but Yang Rui thinks he is worthy of being selected in the first round. From the perspective of ball control and organization, Gibson is terrible and has no advantage at all, but his style is very suitable for the Lakers, and he can become a Williams' replacement because he's good at shooting [-]-pointers.

He is a well-known pitcher in the league, with a peak three-point shooting rate of 47.7% and more than 07% in many seasons. In the [-] semi-final against the Pistons, there was a critical moment when Gibson received James's consecutive passes and hit a three-pointer, big heart!

His peak 10-11 season averaged 11.6 points and 3 assists per game.

在2008年新秀挑战赛上，二年级的吉布森投中11个三分球，最终以33分4篮板2助攻2盖帽成为了MVP。

Gibson is also a straightforward person. Since James switched to the Heat, he has turned into a standard "Zhan Hei" and began to fight against the little emperor everywhere, fighting wars of words.Then the dude went downhill, with an ankle injury, a broken marriage, the death of his grandmother, and the unfortunate fact that he was able to enter the singer's talent show in China.

With the 8th overall pick in the second round, the Lakers selected short and strong forward Paul Millsap.

Millsap claims to be 203CM tall, but the actual barefoot height is only 199CM, but the weight has reached 113 kg. The only outstanding thing is that the wingspan is 217CM.His ability to handle the ball is weak and his shooting ability is average. It is impossible to play a small forward and can only be used as a power forward.

Scouts looked at Millsap's side stats and thought he should go to professional wrestling. Basketball is a waste of talent.So, even though he averaged 18.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1.3 steals in three years in college, and the numbers were pretty good, he still fell to the second round.

Yang Rui knows that Millsap is the most valuable insider in this draft, even better than the No. [-] Aldridge.

After entering the league, Millsap has been improving. In his rookie year, he has a fierce defensive ability, and he can resist people and grab the board.Later, he practiced accurate mid-range shooting, and his range was getting longer and farther. 11 years later, he developed the ability to make three points and assist.He was selected to the All-Star Game four times and the All-Defensive Second Team once.

Although Aldridge scored a lot, his defense was not very good, and the overall style of the game was soft. He belonged to the kind of player who is capable but can't shoot dead. After joining the Spurs, he not only became Leonard's deputy, but also couldn't help the ball. The team goes further.

Millsap is the type of guy who can make a difference no matter which team he joins, and instantly improve his team.

The Lakers made a lot of money by picking him. The reason why Yang Rui didn't use the first-round pick is that he might not stay with the Lakers after 2009, and he didn't want to make the Lakers too unreasonable and cheap the later successors. He was selfish.

Next season, the Lakers will be stronger inside, and it won't matter if Diao doesn't renew his contract.
