Chapter 084: The Dust Has Settled, New York's New Favorite!

While Lin Yi, Griffin, Curry and others were being interviewed, other results from the 2009 NBA Draft were also released.

The Thunder team didn't want to choose Thabit when Lin Yi and Griffin were selected, because of Lin Yi, many of Tate's shortcomings and shortcomings have been exposed, I don't know if this will be a good thing for Thabit, after all, the 09 list in Lin Yi's memory has refreshed the lower limit of "parallel imports".

The Thunder team finally selected Harden, and Thunder general manager Presti has the biggest problem, that is, he is too careful to calculate, and a team like the Thunder just doesn't deserve to win the championship.

In fact, Presti is sometimes very helpless, although he has a vision of passing through, but the boss didn't have that kind of courage at that time.

The three young Thunder gathered again and picked three MVPs in three years, if you want to talk about vision, Presti really has to say a word about picking people.

However, Lin Yi's butterfly effect did bring up, and the Husky (Timberwolves), who traded for the fifth pick, chose Terek Evans, Evans is a rookie who is at the peak of his debut, averaging 20 plus 5 plus 5 per game in his rookie season, and is known as LeBron Jr.

Lu Yuanwai, who was also the first favorite, unfortunately passed by the little wolf, because he couldn't join the NBA immediately, he slipped all the way to the seventh pick before being selected by the Kings.

The Grizzlies selected Tabit with the sixth pick, and the sixth pick is also a cursed pick, and in this pick, Tabit should not be under much pressure from public opinion even if he hits the street in the future, which is a good thing.

Flynn was picked by the Huskies with the eighth pick, and sometimes it's so wonderful, but with Evans and his backcourt, Flynn should play differently than in his previous life.

The ninth pick of the Raptors selected DeRozan, for the Raptors, this is a very lucrative draft, under the influence of the six-man group, DeRozan has begun to practice three-point shooting, and because he likes to fill water in the group chat, DeRozan is not as depressed as Lin Yi remembers, and the king of the North who is not depressed and will shoot three points will definitely have better room for development.

Lin Yi knows very well that it is no surprise that Dragon King Bosh will go together next season, and DeRozan will be the focus of the Raptors and will be cultivated as the core of the future.

The tenth pick of the Bucks selected Brandon Jennings, Jennings is a super Komi, so he also has a bad habit of all NBA Komi, that is, "my life is up to me", the previous Komi Ellis said that he was the league's second scoring guard, Jennings this Komi refused to lag behind, after being selected, he said directly, the team that missed him will regret it, and he will let those teams who miss him die!

In fact, Jennings played very well in his rookie season, not only with a highlight performance of 50 plus per game, but also was indeed cultivated by the Bucks as a future core.

Well, of course, the main problem with this product is iron!

Career shooting rate of 38.7%, three-point shooting rate of 34.5%, iron even if it, Jennings's many shooting options are extremely unreasonable, and he also likes all kinds of tough people, even if he is zero in a row, he will continue to shoot, and he is also famous: My idol Kobe Bryant once said that as a pitcher, you must shoot firmly, even if you can't make the first ten shots, you must continue to shoot for the eleventh time!

Kobe Bryant estimated that his first reaction when he heard this was to go over the network cable and beat him up.

Are you dense or black?

So in Lin Yi's memory, the Bucks really couldn't stand the sound of iron every night and had to trade him out, and Jennings didn't care, so he changed places and continued to clatter.

The 11th pick of the Nets selected Jordan Hill, and the Nets felt that they had picked up a big bargain, after all, Jordan Hill's physical fitness and bounce were second only to Griffin among the rookie big men in this class.

So, it's not for nothing that the bad team is bad!

The twelfth pick of the Bobcats selected Gerard Henderson, and the reason for choosing Henderson was that Jordan felt that Henderson's style of play was very similar to him, and it was indeed very similar, because Henderson had nothing but a flowing shot, and the main thing was that the shooting percentage was not necessarily guaranteed when that flowing shot.

The 13th pick of the Pacers drafted Tyler Hansbrough, and if the Pacers want to make the playoffs, that is, the power is what they need.

The 14th overall pick of the Suns had no choice but to choose Terrence Williams, a swingman at the front.

So far, the 2009 lottery has all been released, and the selection of several other key positions is not much different from Lin Yi's memory, Holiday went to the 76ers, Lin Yi remembered that Holiday was selected as an All-Star, and in the future, after going to the Pelicans, he swept the Trail Blazers with thick eyebrows in the case of Cousins' reimbursement.

Holiday is characterized by strong single-player ability, tall point guard, and relatively balanced offense and defense.

Jeff Teague was drafted by the Hawks, and Tylawson also went to the Timberwolves.

Darren Collison went to the Hornets, and during Paul's injury, Collison once had an extremely bright performance, but this gentleman's character is really not good, and he is bent on replacing Paul as the boss, Lin Yi really wants to ask Collisson, is your idol also the one?

Beverley was drafted by the Lakers, and future CBA legend Hudson was drafted by the Celtics.

I have to say that 09 is really a big year for guards, and half of the future NBA guards are basically gathered together today.

……

After the draft, Lin Yi met Donnie Walsh, the general manager of New York.

When they first met, Lin Yi had a good impression of Donnie Walsh.

This is a kind-looking, talkative person.

In Linyi's memory, '09 was indeed a key juncture in New York, when Donnie Walsh first took office, facing a bunch of junk contracts and a future without draft picks, but the extremely capable general manager freed up the Knicks' salary space after a few trades.

And the main thing is that Donnie Walsh was a man of affection, and until he left, the Smiling Assassin was always eating in New York management.

The only sad thing about this gentleman is that he miscalculated the attractiveness of New York for free agents, only got Stoudemire back in 10 years, and then reluctantly traded Anthony with the Nuggets, and then, there was no more.

To put it bluntly, Donnie Wash's operation is fine, but he doesn't have enough judgment and understanding of the players.

Most of the general managers of the NBA are like this, either they know the ball but don't know how to manage, or they can manage but don't know much about the ball.

Accompanied by Zhong Muchen, Lin Yi and Donnie Washh signed a four-year contract with a total value of 25 million.

From this moment on, Lin Yi is a member of the New York Knicks.

"Lin, I've been hearing Javier Stanford say how great you are, and I'm so glad you're joining the Knicks." Donnie Walsh felt that he had made a lot of money in this draft, and his smile was much more extraordinarily high when he shook hands with Lin Yi.

Oh?

Javier Stanford?

"Mr. Donnie, do you know Javier?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"I know, he and I have been friends for many years, he came to apply for the general manager of the Knicks before, but the boss chose Thomas at that time, and then he went to EPSN as a reporter and commentator, and I was about to invite him to come to New York as a deputy general manager to assist me." Donnie Washh said to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi suddenly remembered that Javier Stanford had indeed told him that he had been in the NBA before he became a reporter, and after the signing was completed, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth that was not easy to be noticed, it seems that this thing can be operated.

Javier is his number one fan.
