NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 5 The draft is over
Comb wants to take Mashburn because he knows that it won't be long before Mashburn will rise from the ashes.

Strange to say, there are always examples of Nirvana at the small forward position.

Pickled peppers of later generations, Mashburn at this time.

Before the injury, Mashburn's defensive level was a bit eye-catching. It can be said that the defense is as bad as the offense is strong.

After the serious injury, it seemed that God had played a joke on him and moved all his offensive attributes to defense.

The offensive end began to be eye-catching, and the defensive end began to gradually exert strength. Next season, he will be able to play at the level of being selected for the best defensive team.

If it's just defensive, then Kumbu won't have much interest in him.

The main reason is that it won't take long for his offensive level to recover, and then he will become a complete monster Mashburn.

In the 03 season, Mashburn even overwhelmed Pierce and was named the best small forward in the league.

Even Melo Anthony's draft template is Mashburn.

McGrady at his peak also said that his most difficult opponent was not Kobe, but Mashburn.

Looking at it this way, it is not difficult to understand why Combe traded Speeding Cars for Mashburn.

Bowen is completely an addition, and it is entirely because Comb thinks that the team's rating can be improved a little bit.

In any case, even if Uncle Bao is no longer a thing, he is still of great value to the team and will definitely improve the team's overall combat effectiveness.

Riley, the fortune teller, is still hesitating.

It's useless for them to have a flying car, but they can use the flying car to continue trading in exchange for a stronger striker than Mashburn.

In this way, they may be able to break their wrists with the Bulls in the new season.

Thinking of this, Riley had a heartbreak and didn't think so much anymore.

"make a deal!"

Like Unseld, Riley sealed the deal fairly simply.

Representatives of other teams at the scene looked at Kong Bu with the eyes of fools.

In their long coaching or front office careers, they have never seen such a stupid trade.

It is equivalent to saying that the core of the Raptors' team building Damon Stoudemire, a super point guard seedling who averaged 20 points and 9 assists per game, was exchanged for Mashburn, Daben and Bowen.

A semi-disabled injury number, two undrafted picks that can be seen everywhere in the summer league.

Everyone at the scene even wondered if Kumbu had some bloody feud with the Raptors owner Bitov, so he cheated the boss so much.

At this moment, Combe standing in front of Riley had a smile on his face.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, the two transactions were completed quickly and without delay.

From the perspective of outsiders, these two transactions are quite stupid, but in the eyes of fans of later generations, Kumbu did not earn a single star.

Little Flying Squirrel was at its peak when it debuted, and it was strong in the first two seasons, and it became better and better in the following seasons.

He has not been selected as an All-Star throughout his career, nor has he received any other gold-worthy honors.

The highest honor is Rookie of the Year.

Such a player has been exchanged for-

A historic level blue collar interior ceiling.

An all-around top small forward with excellent offense and defense.

A perimeter gate who has been selected to the best defensive team many times, he can also be used in some alternative ways at critical moments.

This is not only a blood earning, but also earning money from grandma's house.

Combe quickly checked the Raptors' team rating again.

"Toronto Raptors: Current overall team rating is A-."

"Offensive rating B-, defensive rating A+, rebounding rating A-."

"The player potential rating is A+."

Sure enough, the team's rating improved again.

In particular, the defensive rating and potential rating have now reached the A+ level, and they can reach the S- level as long as they go further.

McGrady and Wu Sheng are not weak in defense. When they are picked at the end of the draft, the defensive rating can at least reach the S- level.

In the absence of injuries, McGrady relied on his physical fitness advantages, and his defensive efficiency was quite amazing.

Even purely looking at defensive efficiency and defensive victory contribution, McGrady is better than Kobe in many seasons.

For example, in the first three seasons of going to the Magic and the first three seasons of the Rockets, his advanced defensive data is indeed better than Kobe.

As for Wu Sheng's defense, although he has not been selected to the best defensive team, his defensive ability is top-notch in the third position.

Especially in the Spurs in the first few years of his career, his defensive efficiency was as high as 98 points, which means that he only allowed the opposing player to score 98 points in [-] rounds.

This efficiency is placed in the group of outside players, and it can even be compared to a defensive team.

The defensive strength of the Bulls is S-level. If the Raptors reach the S-level, at least their defensive strength can already rank among the top in the league.

What's even more frightening is that the Raptors' lineup is a pure rookie lineup. Give them a period of time to grow, and their defensive rating may directly reach the S level, becoming an existence comparable to the Bulls.

The draft continued, and Stern appeared on the stage every 5 minutes to announce the rookie candidates.

After waiting for a while, it was finally the Raptors' No. [-] pick.

The No. [-] pick was naturally used to select Tracy McGrady.

Because there have been many high school rookies in the draft in the past two years, and a high school guard like Kobe appeared last season, so the Raptors selected Tracy McGrady, and everyone present was not surprised.

When the No. 41 pick in the second round, the Raptors made another shot and won the martial arts saint Stephen Jackson.

In this way, Comb's draft tour has come to an end, and he has got all the players he wants.

With the selection of McGrady and Wu Sheng, the Raptors' lineup for the new season has roughly surfaced.

Big Ben, Camby, Monster, Wu Sheng, McGrady, Uncle Bao, Christie, seven core players.

This lineup looks a bit bloated on the forward and defensive lines. There are only Big Ben and Camby on the inside, and there is not even a player in the first position.

Combe didn't think it was a problem.

Christie is one of those rare swingers at positions [-], [-], and [-].

A player who does not have a strong desire to attack and shoots cold arrows from time to time, has excellent defensive ability, and has been selected to the best defensive team many times.

At least in Kongbu's view, putting Christie in the first position is definitely more effective than Speeding or Little Flying Squirrel.

In addition, McGrady also has good organizational skills, so Combe is not very worried about the lack of point guards.

In terms of insiders, there are only Big Ben and Camby, and the number is indeed a little less.

But there is no other better way now. If the Raptors have more chips, they can consider bringing Xiao Ao over.

Big Ben, Camby, and Jermaine O'Neill can both serve as power forwards and centers. If the three rotate inside, it is almost enough.

It's a pity that the Raptors have no bargaining chips now, and there is no possibility of getting involved in Xiao Ao in the short term.

There is no need to worry about this matter. Anyway, in the next two seasons, Xiao Ao has not received much attention in the Blazers.

Usually pay attention to saving some chips, and sooner or later he will be able to trade Xiao Ao.
