The Strongest Bishop in the NBA
Chapter 122: Draft goal (eighth)
In 10 years, the Wizards have two draft picks, the Clippers first round and their second round.
On May 19th, the league had already held a lottery draw, ranking third in the Western Conference, and the sixth-lowest Clippers in the league won the fourth overall pick.
Wang Xiao felt that the Clippers' management all expected to blacken themselves.
The No. 1 Griffin pit is about to die, last season directly reimbursed, and then look at the performance of the Wizards Curry and Harden...
Now, the team's fourth overall pick should be handed over to Wang Xiao, which is really annoying!
Holding No. 4 in his hand, Wang Xiao was full of confidence.
Excluding Lin Shuhao and Wall, who must be the top picks and leader of the list, there are many players for Wang Xiao to choose from, and Wang Xiao has already set his goals early on.
Paul George.
Paul George is definitely a "sex" player with a very high price ratio. He has a strong defense and a good shot. He can play without a ball or with a ball.
In Wang Xiao's plan, when Butler gradually ages and retires to the bench, George will be the best candidate to replace Butler.
And George's defense will also greatly enhance the Wizards' weak outside defense.
George would have been selected by the Pacers at the tenth pick, and Wang Xiao, holding the fourth pick, had no reason to miss him.
Wang Xiao also considered taking Cousins with the fourth overall pick, and then figured out a way to get George through the deal.
But after thinking for a long time, he gave up this tempting idea.
Cousins is very strong, and there will even be a tendency to assume the title of the league's first center in the future.
But after all, the Wizards play small ball tactics, and do not need a center as the main point of attack.
Admittedly, Cousins's technical characteristics can be fully matched with the small ball tactics. He can even pull the three-pointer to shoot and shoot.
But for any team, someone always has to do the dirty work, and the card rebounds help defense.
With Cousins... or a super blue collar with a No. 4 pick, Wang Xiao felt a little too bad.
In the final analysis, Cousins’ style can fit the small ball tactics, but he has never proved that he can really adapt to the small ball tactics. After joining the Warriors in 2019, Cousins basically suffered from injuries. Not much played.
In addition, another thing that Wang Xiao cares about is Cousins' performance in the playoffs.
It might be an exaggeration to say it, but Cousins had 0 experience in the playoffs before joining the Warriors in 19.
That's right, Cousins has never played in the playoffs before.
Isn't it incredible? A super center with an average of 27+12 is unable to lead the team into the playoffs.
In six seasons with the Kings, Cousins has never made the playoffs.
In the 17-18 season, Cousins played 48 games, and finally entered the playoffs with the performance of Anthony Davis and other stars. However, due to injury, he played in the playoffs. None played.
This kind of performance is a bit confusing even for Wang Xiao, a traverser. Whether Cousins is out of luck or a complete data brush.
Coupled with Cousins's ever-criticized "sex" problem, Wang Xiao felt that it was better not to choose this kind of time bomb for the sake of stability.
The draft conference began on June 24, and before that, the teams have begun to invite trial training for the rookies.
The Wizards are no exception.

The difference is that the Wizards only invited two players to try out.
Jeremy Lin, Dunn.
These two players are all Wang Xiao's main core during the Harvard era.
In the 2009 draft, Wang Xiao was a great success. Curry and Harden were selected. In addition to the previous Durant, everyone has repeatedly determined Wang Xiao's talent in watching people.
This year, a lot of teams have begun to pay attention to Wang Xiao's movements, and want to try to cut off the prematurely.
Wang Xiao is not stupid, of course, it is impossible to expose his goal like that last year.
In fact, he did this intentionally last year. At that time, no one cared about his vision. Even if he knew that Wang Xiao valued these players, he would not care too much.
And this year, peers who ate a long line of wisdom will inevitably chase down the players they have chosen, and they will definitely take it one step ahead.
Therefore, Wang Xiao only chose Jeremy Lin and Deng En.
In 10 years of ncaa, Harvard University won the championship again and completed three consecutive championships. Subsequently, Jeremy Lin and Dunn's two main team cores have announced their participation in the NBA Draft.
Jeremy Lin is the No. 1 pick, and it is not a player Wang Wang can look forward to on the fourth pick. Dunne also has a high probability of entering the lottery.
However, Dunn’s style is not suitable for the current Wizards’ small ball tactics. Even if it comes, it is just another enhanced version of Little Jordan, so Wang Xiao has never considered choosing him to the Wizards, but as his own disciple, Wang Xiao felt the need to give them a boost.
Sure enough, Wang Xiao only selected two players to participate in the trial training, which caused a lot of repercussions in the league. Jeremy Lin must be the champion or the leader of the list, naturally need not say more.
Although Dunn was originally superior in defensive ability, due to the lack of offensive means, the evaluation was not as good as Cousins, Favors and Monroe.
However, after Wang Xiao's "fuck", Deng has attracted more people's attention, and the evaluation has a tendency to surpass Cousins and others.
After doing all this, Wang Xiao didn't do anything more, but just waited steadily for the start of the draft.
A week's time was fleeting and soon came the day of the draft conference.
This draft meeting was held in Madison Square Garden in New York as always.
The opening ceremony was still Stern's opening remarks, and then the draft began.
"Wang, who did you decide to sign with No. 4?"
Glenfield endured for a long time, but finally did not hold back, so asked Wang Xiao.
He was very upset, very upset.
Since the trading power is handed over to Wang Xiao, his general manager seems to be a decoration, and he can only manage the team's daily operations. Even the draft conference is about to begin, and his general manager has not yet known his own Who the team will choose.
He seriously doubted that Wang Xiao was intentional.
In fact, he guessed right.
Wang Xiao really didn't want to tell him who he was in mind.
Paul George is a very important part of the Wizards' small ball lineup, and Wang Xiao must ensure foolproof.
It’s not just Glenfield. No one on the team knows who Wang Xiao’s goal is... of course, except for the team’s owner.
Wang Xiao still has to report to the team boss at the NBA Draft. He didn't even get to the point where the boss is not a bird.
However, when reporting to the team owner, Wang Xiao also specifically mentioned not to tell others his choice. This is related to the future of the Wizards. Of course, the team owner will not be extravagant.
