The night before the draft, Richard met with Purdue's newcomers to this year's draft.

The Morris brothers and Klay Thompson.

This year, Purdue University will have these three people in the draft......

Once Purdue University walked out of another pair of brothers, that is, the Lo Peici brothers, and now they are coming to the Morris brothers, and for a while, the Morris brothers are still quite eye-catching.

However, although it is eye-catching, the draft pick is certainly not much higher, mainly because the previous Lopeci brothers did not play much in the NBA.

As for Klay Thompson, he is mainly a no-ball player at Purdue, and the pick is not too high.

No team is built on the basis of an off-ball player......

One of the most well-known goalscorers in history, such as Miller or Ray Allen, is not a pure off-ball player, but has a ball-handling approach at his disposal, and the standard is quite good.

As for Klay Thompson, his ability to handle the ball is simply not enough compared to his ability to do without the ball.

"Coach, Coach Bronny is talking to you every day, saying that you haven't been back to Purdue for a long time." Big Morris conveyed his "missing" for little Bronny.

"Wait until you have time, I have too many things to do right now, I just took over the Clippers, and I'm so busy."

"You three boys, after entering the alliance, you must work hard, but don't embarrass Purdue University's golden signboard." Richard said with a smile at the three boys.

The three of them nodded at the same time, they have the identity of West Lafayette players, in fact, even if the ranking is not too high, but the start must be easier than other players, after all, it is likely that there is a big brother of West Lafayette in the team.

Now that they are looking forward to it, they have finally got the opportunity to enter the alliance, and they naturally have great hope for the future.

"Coach, don't worry, we'll work hard."

"It will definitely not disgrace you, and it will definitely not disgrace the golden sign of Western Lafayette."

"Someday, you'll be proud of us."

The three of them said to Richard with firm eyes.

Richard smiled and nodded, the three candidates for election this year, in fact, the achievements of the Morris brothers in the future will not be too high, mainly because these two people have congenital deficiencies......

Arm span, height and athleticism have no advantage anyway, and these two don't have the ability to shoot three-point in the early stage, so it is difficult to become star-level players.

But even so, there is certainly nothing wrong with the two of them establishing themselves in the NBA.

As for Klay Thompson, Richard has a lot of expectations for him, expecting him to burst out with unparalleled energy under his own hands.

……

In the evening of the next day, Richard took Mark Jackson to the draft site.

In last season's draft, although Richard participated, after all, he was only here to help people, this time it was different, Richard came to the draft this time to choose people for himself.

Everyone is curious, which players will Richard choose this time?

At present, Richard has a lot of draft picks, a full four, but there are no top five picks, and the highest one is only the eighth pick.

With such a signing, I don't know if Richard can continue the miracle and select some elite rookies.

……

Stern came out and announced the start of this year's draft.

Richard was a little puzzled, last offseason, Stern said that he was about to retire, but a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Stern has not moved.

And seeing that he presided over the draft tonight, it is estimated that he will definitely not retire next season......

……

"I announce that the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Kyrie Irving from Duke University with the first pick in the first round!" Stern read out the selection of the top pick.

The Cavaliers management sighed to themselves, thinking of the deal they had previously mentioned to Richard.

If it were possible, they would still prefer Griffin, after all, Griffin has already proven his strength, and Owen's words, although he seems to be the best player in this year, but whether he can play or not, the devil knows......

Even if you have a ninety percent chance of being able to play it, you're afraid of hitting that one percent chance.

And if you can get Griffin, you won't have to worry about it at all.

Just as the Cavaliers sighed, Stern announced the second pick, Derek Williams from the University of Arizona.

This is a parallel import, and the Timberwolves, a sad team, have formed an indissoluble bond with parallel imports anyway.

Richard also secretly mourned for the Timberwolves in his heart, this team is simply miserable......

As soon as he made a shot, he directly selected the player with the worst pick in the top five, and there is nothing wrong with even saying that the weakest pick in the top 15 picks......

I have to say that this is also a kind of talent, and as soon as you shoot, you go straight to the worst, which not all teams can do.

Next, the Utah Jazz chose N'Golo Kante, a freedom fighter from Turkey, with the third pick.

Jazz is quite pitiful, even Richard, who has had an earth-shattering conflict with Jazz, has some sympathy for Jazz.

In the 09-10 season, the Jazz were able to maintain the fifth place in the West, but in the season that just ended, that is, in the 10-11 season, they did not even make the playoffs, ranking fifth from the bottom in the West.

The reason for this situation is because of the conflict that broke out between De Xiaopang and Sloane.

And it wasn't a private conflict, but a fierce clash that erupted on the sidelines during the halfway season game against the Bulls.

Think about Sloan's status, although he is not as good as Richard, but he is also the premier bishop in this league, and in Jazz, he is a godfather-level figure.

Now the players under his command are confronting themselves in front of tens of thousands of people, arguing with their blushing faces and thick necks, how can Sloan stand it.

As a result, the day after the conflict broke out, Sloan resigned directly, and he took all the honors he should have received anyway.

In '09, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Sloan's fame was unmatched in Salt Lake City, and the owner sold him to the Nets two weeks later......

This made the Jazz, the original Western powerhouse, directly become a fish belly, and did not even enter the playoffs.

However, their draft pick in this year's draft is still good, a scout pick plus a 12th pick.

……

Next, the Eight Sages and the Wa God were selected by the fourth and fifth respectively.

Among them, the fourth ranked Eight Sages King was still selected by the Knights, and two of the top five picks in the first round were Knights......

The Cavaliers had such a good draft pick, and Richard drooled when he saw it.

It's not just this year, the Cavaliers have received three first-round picks in the past four years, and this kind of thing has never happened in the entire NBA history, and no one will drool with envy.

Of course, this pair of top-notch Cavaliers didn't play their best role, except for Owen, the other two champions were a bit of a pit.

One is Bennett, who needless to say, saved Kwame Brown and snatched the title of the most watery man in history from his head.

The other is Wiggins, a health champion, and with his form, Richard estimates that he can fight until the league collapses......

……

Next, Vesely and Biyombo were picked off with the sixth and seventh picks.

The following is the No. 8 pick in Richard's hands, and in the entire draft venue, everyone looks towards the Clippers, and obviously everyone is curious about who Richard will choose.

The selection of the first seven picks did not surprise fans and experts, and were basically expected.

And Richard's No. 8 pick, experts must have predicted, either Brandon Knight, a point guard from the University of Kentucky, or Kemba Walker, a point guard from the University of Connecticut......

Because Richard sold the Clippers' main control Blake in the previous trade, their current No. 1 player is completely insufficient, and Richard will definitely give priority to a point guard player in this draft.

And whether it is Knight or Walker, in the eyes of experts, they are both quite suitable for the Clippers' No. 1 player.

Now they are waiting for Stern to come out and announce the results......

"I announce that the Los Angeles Clippers have selected Klay Thompson from Purdue University with the eighth pick in the first round!"

There was a com......motion at the scene of the "uproar", and no one expected that Richard would choose a forward linebacker player, and he was a frontguard player who did not have the ability to hold the ball.

If Klay Thompson has the ability to hold the ball, then it is estimated that some people on the scene will think that Richard will find another way to develop Thompson in the direction of point guard.

But now that Thompson doesn't have the ability to hold the ball, it's impossible to play the No. 1 position at all......

What the hell is Richard doing? Could it be that he has developed a tactical system that does not need a point guard at all?!

The shock of everyone at the scene, Richard also noticed, and could roughly guess what they were shocking......

Only choose the expensive ones, not the right ones, the Clippers are indeed extremely short of point guards at the moment, but it is obvious that Thompson's value is higher than that of Knight or Walker.

Besides, Walker already has a master, and the Warriors who are the ninth pick are quite interested in Walker, and they have asked Richard if he can choose before, and Richard gave a positive answer.

Although Walker has made a little wave, his strength is actually quite good, and in the East, where the competition for the No. 1 position is not so fierce, Walker can become the top three point guards in the East in the future.

……

Popovich also came in person this time, and after hearing that the Clippers chose Klay Thompson, the whole person breathed a sigh of relief!

It's good that Leonard wasn't chosen, and he was really afraid that Richard would come up and choose Leonard......

……

Next, the Warriors selected Kemba Walker with the ninth pick, under normal circumstances, this pick belongs to the Pirates, but now the Pirates will definitely not get such a high pick.

……

After a brief uproar, the follow-up draft went on as normal.

"I announce that the Utah Jazz selected Alec Burks of the University of Colorado with the 12th pick in the first round."

The Jazz's two first-round picks are all decent, and the strength of the players is okay, but they are not brilliant enough, and they can only be said to be out of water.

……

Then everyone had their eyes on the Clippers again, because the next step was the Clippers' draft pick.

It's time for Richard to choose a point guard this time, right?

"I am announcing that the Los Angeles Clippers selected Kawhi Leonard from San Diego State University with the 13th pick in the first round."

……

"Hold the grass?! What the hell is this chosen? The audience was directly stunned, while the domestic fans were directly fried.

"Who is this guy? Why did ESPN previously report that the Clippers didn't have this man's name among the players they might choose. ”

"I really want to have a little impression of this newcomer, but this guy is a blue-collar outsider, and in terms of ball handling, he is not much better than Klay Thompson, and his offensive skills are quite rough."

"What the hell did Richard think? Do you really want to be a point guard? The No. 8 pick chose Klay Thompson, which is quite acceptable, after all, it is produced by Purdue University, but what the hell is this thirteenth pick, even if it is to choose one of the Morris brothers! ”

Many fans in China watched the live broadcast of the draft, and when they saw Richard selecting two forward and guard players one after another, they couldn't help but start complaining.

In their eyes, these two choices are really not wise......

The Clippers' current morality, even a fan who is new to basketball, can see that there is too much lack of point guards!

In this case, Richard actually chose two players who would not be able to play point guard at all, and no one knows what the hell he is doing.

The audience blinked, and this time Richard gave them a big surprise.

I didn't choose a point guard, nor did I choose the big man that Richard has always preferred, so I came up and chose two forward guards......

Popovich had a long sigh of relief, but suddenly held it back.

Afraid of anything, Richard really chose his favorite Leonard.

"Fortunately, I made two preparations before!"

"Now that Leonard has been taken by Richard, he wants to snatch it back from Richard, it is probably a fool's dream." Popovich thought with a sigh.

However, an old man like him, who has been in the league for so many years, immediately cheered up after a short loss.

Leonard is good, but he doesn't necessarily have to be better than his No. 2 plan.

……

Seeing Klay Thompson and Leonard officially arrive, Richard breathed a sigh of relief, this draft has been successful two-thirds of the way, and then as long as Butler and Thomas Jr. are selected, he can successfully leave New York and start the rebuilding of the Clippers.

Richard watched the draft continue with triumph, and the only thing he had to do was wait.

Waiting to pick Jimmy Butler with the thirty pick.

"I announce that the San Antonio Spurs selected Jimmy Butler from Marquette University with the 29th pick in the first round." Stern read out the 29th pick.

Karma?! Richard was dumbfounded......

Jiba cut off his beard?! Cut off Popovich?!

How is this possible......

Richard never expected that Butler was about to get it, and was cut off by Popovich.

PS: It's limited.,Chapter two-in-one.,You can drop less points and even order.,The number of words is the same as before.,I'm not lazy......
