I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 287 2008 Draft!

June 6, New York City.

At this time, the 2008 NBA Draft is being held in the theater at Madison Square Garden, where talent gathers, crowds are crowded, and it is very lively.

From a black-and-white point of view, 2008 was a bad draft year.

I didn’t take the exam a few years ago, but I will definitely take the exam this year, so I have to mark the key points on the blackboard.

Examinations and drafts have some similarities.

Conversely, if you took the test a few years ago, in the next few years, the questions you have passed will not be tested.

2007 was a big draft year, so 2008 is a small draft year, according to experts.

Well, there are big fish in the fish pond, and 2009 is also a small year.

In fact, 08 and 09 are both big years.

Only 19 years old can participate in the draft, and high school students are prohibited from bringing their talents to the league in advance, which makes the draft more balanced.

No, the talented players in the past two years have entered the league together.

David Stern made his appearance, stood on the main stage, and said some words of "wait for it". The audience booed like a tsunami because they were not used to him.

"Wow—!"

With the ceremony over, Stern immediately announced the start of the NBA Draft.

"In the 2008 NBA draft, the first pick in the first round, the Chicago Bulls had 5 minutes to think about it..."

This is a compulsory question, so why not think about it!
Know how to choose with your feet.

After receiving the envelope, Stern said plainly:

"In the 2008 NBA draft, the first pick in the first round, Chicago selected, from...

University of Memphis guard, Derrick Rose! ! "

If you have Joe, you can choose Joe, if you don't have Joe, you can choose Sharks, if you don't have Joe, you can choose Sharks, Iguodala.

Rose is the "Have Joe" of the first sequence.

As long as the Bulls are not blind, they will not skip Rose and choose other rookies.

14.9 points, 4.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds-this is the data Rose played in the NCAA field.

However, he led the University of Memphis as a freshman, and he had a fantastic record of 33 wins and 1 loss in the NCAA arena.

Just missed a free throw lore in the 08 NCAA Finals, was dragged to overtime by the opponent, and was defeated by a reversal.

To be reasonable, Rose led the team to the finals as a freshman, which is equivalent to Carmelo Anthony.

Looking at it this way, it is not surprising that Rose was elected as the No. [-] pick. He is a leader on the court, and his talent and strength cannot be reflected by statistics.

Anthony was also the No. [-] pick back then.

Speaking of Anthony, just like in 03, in 08 he also had his own peerless twins, one was Rose and the other was Michael Beasley.

The No. [-] pick is among the two, second to none.

It's just that Beasley was as unlucky as Anthony in 03, and met the Chosen Son.

The reason why the Bulls chose Rose and the Cavaliers chose James cannot be said to be similar, but it can only be said to be exactly the same.

James is the son of Alenke of the Cavaliers, and Rose of the Windy City is probably the son of Chicago.

Of course, the Bulls have Ben Gordon and Luol Deng, two scoring masters, so naturally they don't want to choose another one, which doesn't make much sense.

There is one thing to say, no matter how strong Beasley is in scoring, he is only a vanguard general, and what the Bulls need is a general who leads the three armies, and what they need is a character like Jordan-except for statistics, there is also a desire to win! !
Ross, that's who they need.

A man like the wind, a guy who rushes to play and doesn't spare his knees at all, how can people not love him?

……

The talent show followed by music and dancing.

The Heat won the championship in 06, survived for a year in 07, and the Heat, which was poor in 08, had the second pick and had 5 minutes to consider.

Actually, consider this der.

In 03, when there were peerless double prides, the Pistons were doing things, and the result?

As far as the draft goes, the Pistons' passing on Anthony was a massive failure.

The Heat are thinking of a "long-term plan", so naturally they won't make adjustments. If they want to make adjustments, they will start in 2010.

"In the 2006 NBA draft, the second overall pick in the first round, the Miami Heat selected...

Forward from Kansas State University, Michael Beasley! "

In terms of talent, Beasley is amazing.

According to folklore, Durant is one year older than Beasley, but he can't beat Beasley in a heads-up match. Durant's second child has been in high school since high school.

In the four years of high school, Beasley changed a high school every year, or even two. It can be said that he has his own scoring system. His record in high school is 138 wins and 5 losses.

One word: amazing.

During Durant's senior year in high school, he would be secretly happy when he averaged more than 20 points per game, thinking about drinking the school beauty's footwashing water or something.

As far as Beasley is concerned, more than 20 points have not yet reached the passing line. This person is a real genius. Durant is small on this, all capitalized.

With Beasley alive, Durant couldn't float at all, and just wanted to try to catch up with Beasley.

Good cry, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor.

The scary thing is that Beasley is also a teenager.

In the sophomore year of high school, the personal statistics were brutal - averaging 45 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks per game. Just ask, do you still have Wang Fa?
Are there any laws?
Beasley was named the most valuable player on the spot in the 07 McDonald's All-American Game.

In the high school years, it can be said that the military exploits shine through and the reputation is prominent.

If high school can still participate in the draft, in the 2007 draft year, he is also the No. [-] pick.

大一时期，2007-08赛季，场均抢到12.4个篮板排在NCAA一级联赛第1，场均得到26.2分排在第3。

The number of "20+10" double-doubles reached 28 times, breaking the national record held by Anthony. Beasley, who is all-around combat power, was nicknamed the tall version of Anthony.

In fact, this year, at this moment, Beasley is the most popular rookie candidate for the No. [-] pick, and it is even said that he must be the No. [-] pick. His immediate combat power and talent are simply overflowing.

It's just a pity that the league's secret operations are too ruthless, and the Bulls will be the No. [-] pick if they are bad, which makes no sense at all.

The aftermath of Jordan is so terrifying! !

In terms of character, Beasley is an angel on one side and a devil on the other. To put it bluntly, he is gorgeous on the offensive end and broken on the defensive end.

If it's just a problem of defensive distraction and inattention, it's not a problem. After all, there is a gorgeous offensive back.

The biggest trouble is off the field. This person is a genius, but every genius has something wrong with him.

It doesn't matter if he is sick, but this person's illness is similar to Rodman's.

What he did was illogical, he was intoxicated in his own illusory world, he wanted to do things as soon as he woke up, he even sucked aunts, etc., a lot of bad things.

Because he is too talented, this person plays more casually, has no desire to win, and has no killer instinct.

The Heat didn't have a choice. It was said to be a big year in the draft, but there were not many rookies who could be selected and not many players worthy of the second pick.

OJ Mayo overlaps with Wade again.

The Heat can only take risks. It just so happens that Riley likes to gamble the most.

The last time he bet on Wade, he made a lot of money.

This time betting on Billys, he had a bigger chance of winning.

why not?
Big deal, re-shuffling cards in 2010 is nothing more than playing casually during the boring two years.

……

After Rose and Beasley, the peerless pair were selected.

The Timberwolves have some headaches. His goal is Kevin Love. He wants to copy Garnett's homework and choose a reliable power forward.

It's just that the gamble is a bit too big, and Love's style of play and body are a little soft, not worth a lottery.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies were afraid that their prey would be cut off by the Supersonics, so they helped solve the Timberwolves' headache, and started a PY deal with the Timberwolves with the 5th pick + money.

2008 is said to be the year of the draft, but in fact it was only supported by a few talented players. The Timberwolves' selection is a bit embarrassing, so they are naturally willing to make friends and hand over the No. [-] lottery.

"The third pick in the first round in 2007, the Timberwolves selected OJ Mayo, a guard from the University of Southern California!"

This choice is fine.

In high school, Mayo was the strongest high school student after James.

Magazine cover at the time: The next James
He has the template of Jordan, known as the next generation of Kobe, the next generation of Jordan, and is regarded as the most box office star in the future in the NBA.

There are NBA scout analysis reports that Mayo, with Wade's lightning speed, Kobe's dexterity, James' strong body, Iverson's breakthrough, Nash's passing, Mayo on the court is omnipotent and proficient in everything. Simply a perfect combination.

If it weren't for the end of high school, he would not have grown tall, only 1 meters, and it is not impossible to call him the next James.

As long as he is tall, the No. 2008 pick in [-] is very likely to be him.

Although in the NCAA arena, Mayo failed to play a dominant performance, which set off the "Mayo" style, and still has a top pick.

In the words of a certain father, it is: My son Wang Teng has the appearance of a great emperor.

It's about a genius like OJ Omei.

It would be too much for heaven not to choose him.

……

"The fourth pick in the first round in 2007, the Sonics selected Russell Westbrook, a guard from the University of California, Los Angeles!"

Westbrook had an upset. It can only be said that the Sonics have a great draft vision.

For two consecutive years, or even three years, they have selected the strongest and most promising rookies. From this perspective, the team will not rise unless it is unwilling to spend more money.

When Westbrook was in his sophomore year of high school, he couldn't dunk the dunk, and he took off in his third year of high school.

In college, he was a substitute in his freshman year and took off in his sophomore year, which somewhat affected his draft pick.

The top three picks all made their name in high school, and they also proved themselves as stars in college.

However, Westbrook's strongest point is that his talent is full, his body is full, and he can grow wildly.

Well, including appearance.

He is 1.91 meters tall, weighs 90 kilograms, has strong muscles visible to the naked eye, and has excellent physical fitness. He can jump up to 89cm in vertical jump, jump up to 116cm in run-up, and has a speed of 10.2 meters in [-] meters. He has super athletic ability, which allows him to play explosive games. The style of play is very enjoyable, and it is a plus point to attract fans to the stadium to watch the game.

Moreover, Westbrook has the quality of being the second-in-command. After all, he came off the bench, and he was not so ostentatious at the beginning.

His vision is not good, however, willing to pass the ball.

His weakness is shooting. However, he works very hard, and it is possible to get it out of training. It’s okay if he can’t. With his physical talent alone, he has the possibility of becoming a top point guard.

Then he is physically invincible, but he is willing to defend, has the talent to become a top defensive player, dares to play and rush, and has the drive to become a top scorer.

Both under the head and above the head are top-notch, and the templates are Rondo and Ellis.

A turtle that came out of the sewer, you deserve it.

Of course, in terms of talent, the most important thing in the league is talent.

The Supersonics finally chose Westbrook, and they had to start from their own needs.

The Sonics have a pair of young players, Durant and Jeff Green, and the forward position is fine.

What needs to be strengthened is the talent at the point guard and center positions.

Especially the point guard, who uses players like Earl Watson and Luc Credno to start, the talent ceiling is too low.

In addition, he plays offensive basketball and needs to rush up. The Sonics' first choice is naturally talent and point guard.
