27th pick: Tang Tian

Before this year's tournament, perhaps no one had heard of this name at all, and he was said to have been a caddie before? I'm seriously skeptical, maybe it's just a fabrication to make the story more legendary, but this is one of the most legendary players of the year, and he went from obscurity to national fame in just 37 games, especially in these seven tournaments, and he pretty much exemplifies what a role player can do.

The list of opponents he has defended to kill includes Harrison Barnes, Derek Williams, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Marshon Brooks, and even Kyrie Irving!

Well, you see, he's a player who can go from number one to number four! It's a scary thing even in the NCAA.

And his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 67% in the tournament! Well, I went out of my way to check it, and the number was not wrong, he almost missed the open three-point shot, and he beat North Carolina and Duke, this is the best role player this year, a top 3-and-D player, and I believe many teams will be very interested in him.

Draft template: Sean Battier.

It is worth mentioning that Tang Tian is not only as good at defense and three-point shooting as Battier, but they also helped the team achieve a 20+ reversal in the NCAA final four games.

……

(Note: This list and evaluation are written by Eggplant himself, and the reason why I write so many is definitely not the number of water words, so that everyone can recall the grand occasion of the draft that year, well, not for the number of water words.) ）

Because the draw will not be held until May, this list does not fully take into account the needs of the team, but it is already a relatively professional list.

The end of the first round is the limit of what a role player can achieve, and Chad Ford's analysis is actually quite on point.

However, when he saw this order, Tang Tian suddenly thought of another thing.

In order to fully protect the interests of the team and players, the NBA has made a hard and fast rule on the contract of the first-round pick, the annual salary regulation, and the number of years are also 2+1+1 contracts.

Take Zhuangyuanxiu as an example, this year's contract is 24.02 million for 4 years, and you can get 5.14 million US dollars in the first year, which is almost equivalent to a full middle-class contract.

So in general, being able to be a lottery show or even enter the first round means that there will be a stable contract.

But that is for most players, and it is obviously not applicable to Tang Tian.

At the end of the first round, take Jordan Crawford, who was selected with the 27th pick last year, as an example, he signed a four-year contract with the Wizards for 5.52 million, and the salary of the first year was only 1.04 million before taxes, which is a real child labor contract.

In the same way, if Tang Tian is selected in this pick, it means that he will have to work as a child laborer for at least four years (the earliest time for an early rookie contract extension is after the third year, but the salary of the fourth year of the contract is still the fourth year of the rookie contract).

He now has the Krypton system in hand, so the amount of Krypton he can earn will definitely be small, and a lot.

Historically, there would have been a Ross clause this year, but even if there was a Ross clause, it would have come into effect after a four-year rookie contract.

So, from a certain point of view, being a rookie at the end of the first round is not a good thing.

This was something Tang Tian realized, but this kind of thing was not something he could decide now, so he could only wait and see when the time came.

The end of the NCAA journey means that Tang Tian is no longer an NCAA player, and he finally no longer has to be limited by his identity and cannot make money as before.

The commercial race in July is definitely going to be played, but that's just part of his summer plan, and what he's going to do now is make more and bigger money.

When it comes to basketball, sports betting for the NBA playoffs would be a good choice.

The Mavericks will upset to win the championship this year, and if he's not mistaken, they're priced at 18 to 1 before the playoffs begin.

His crossing will have some butterfly effect, but because he has not yet entered the NBA, this effect should not affect this year's NBA, that is, if he invests 100,000, the return will be 1.8 million!

The previous heads-up match on the court and Song Qianjin's acting made him realize that the system actually allows side kicks.

Just like in the real world, if it is not for the obviously illegal means of robbing, stealing, and cheating, the system will turn a blind eye.

But betting on this, he thought twice and chose to give up.

While the rewards are high, so are the risks.

When he played streetball heads-up before, because the amount was not large, and his acting skills were excellent, no one would know if Song Qianjin didn't say it, but if this was found, even if he just asked someone to buy it, it would become a big black spot in his entire career.

It seems that in addition to the contract, he can only focus on endorsements.

The endorsement of basketball players involves a wide range, sneakers are the most basic, in addition, cars, shampoos, and even insurance, all walks of life are available.

The system says that it is related to basketball, and when he is used as a basketball player, he should theoretically be included in this range.

But if he wants to find an endorsement, he must first determine an agent.

He made a phone call to Walker, and together they went to an appointment to meet Dan Fagan, the agent he wanted.

Fagan is very well-known in the NBA, he is a partner of many NBA players, and he has a lot of prestige among the players, of course, his image in the eyes of the general managers of various teams is not so good, because he has helped his clients sign many well-known garbage contracts.

Among them, there is Arenas's 6-year 110 million super garbage contract.

Of course, there is also Chandler Parsons, who is nicknamed by fans as "If you have money, you are afraid of it", and he signed two high-salary garbage contracts with the Mavericks and Grizzlies in a row, both of which are from Fagan Future.

That's what he needs.

"Don, are you sure you're looking for him? His fame is very high, and the commission is not expected to be low. Walker confirmed to Tang Tian.

The broker industry makes money by taking commissions, and the higher the fame, the greater the percentage of commissions.

"No, Kemba, don't worry." Tang Tian waved his hand.

Walker's impression of the agent is still relatively shallow, Tang Tian had a lot of contact in his previous life, and his understanding was naturally much deeper.

Because players can fire their agents at any time, agents are actually engaged in high-risk industries that face dismissal everywhere, and they are always worried about their customers being poached by competitors, worrying that they are missing out on good seedlings, and so on.

It is precisely because of this that the more famous the agent, the smarter, if he thinks you have potential, not only will he not mention your commission, but will drop, or even take the initiative to pay money to have a good relationship with you, so that he will still be your agent when you renew the contract.

After all, no matter what level of rookie you are, you won't get much commission on a rookie contract, and only when you sign a second contract will that be when you really make a lot of money.
