Needless to say, Russell Westbrook is looking forward to the upcoming Finals, and he can't wait to show what he's up to.

After eliminating the University of Memphis, his draft pick was already in the top five, and ESPN even ranked him third. He is the only point guard in the NCAA this season who has not fallen behind against Derrick Rose and even won the victory in the end, although there were many voices criticizing his shooting options in the last moments after the game, but there are also many basketball celebrities who praise him, saying that he has the courage to take on the last offense and has the potential to be a killer! For example: Kobe Bryant.

Except for Russell Westbrook, actually. Kevin Love also finished in the top eight for the first time, with Luke Bamot also hovering in the lotto zone.

As for Dug, he moved up to around 22nd in the first round.

There is too much uncertainty about him for an NBA team, and the strengths he shows don't necessarily work in the NBA. This is what prevents him from entering the lotto area. (PS: The lotto area is the first fourteen)

At lunchtime, Russell Westbrook mysteriously took Dugg to the western restaurant outside the stadium, and then ceremoniously introduced him to his agent Sam Forcher.

Sam Fogcher was a tall, white man in his fifties.

"Hello, Snoopy. I'm your senior, and I'm also a graduate of the Anderson School of Business. Sam Falcher kindly extended his hand to Snoopy and introduced himself: "I am now working for WMG (Wasserman Media Group) and our main business is football, basketball, golf, baseball and football. For the whole of last year, we had $2.73 billion in contracts and $116 million in commissions. It ranks third in the world after CAA and RS. ”

Sam Focher's introduction immediately let Snoopy know what he meant: "So... Are you trying to poach me for a job at WMG? ”

"Hahahaha." Sam Falcher laughed heartily: "You're so interesting. ”

"Okay, let's get down to business." Snoopy put away his joking thoughts and asked seriously, "Why did you come to me?" ”

"My company and I think you're going to be an elite player and that you're going to be able to leverage a lot more business than any other star or even a superstar. The vast market behind you fascinates every agency, and you exude qualities that the average player doesn't have, you're a complex of contradictions with addictive contrasts. You were born for Vanity Fair! ”

Sam Forcher said earnestly with a compliment.

Snoopy wasn't carried away by the compliments, he just went on to ask, "What kind of draft pick do you think I can get under your operation?" Also, do you think it's appropriate for me to participate in the draft this year, or stay in the NCAA for another year? ”

Snoopy asked about substance.

Sam Forge was not unprepared, pulling out a thick file of papers from his briefcase and saying, "This is our analysis based on your performance on the pitch and the data published in the Orange County Chronicle's special edition on Saturday. ”

He handed the report to Dugg and continued: "You have made remarkable progress in just two months. This improvement peaked in the last game, when you blocked Derrick Rose and your turns and lateral movements were amazing. I guess... You're good enough to make the Kansas interior line suffer in the paint zone. ”

"Regarding the draft picks, I can't give you exact guarantees until the draw results are in. But I can promise that you won't fall out of the top 20 in the top 20, and I can help you get a rookie contract comparable to the lottery pick. ”

"As for the timing of the draft, of course it's this year. The NBA isn't all about power, and sometimes potential is more important. Right now, your potential is arguably the biggest of any rookie in the class, which gives the NBA a lot of room for imagination. ”

"And if you stay in the NCAA for another year, there's less room for imagination about you. If you make rapid progress during the year, you may be able to get a place in the lotto area. But what if there is no rapid progress? ”

"And I don't think the trainers at UCLA are more professional than the NBA. You can get more professional training in the NBA, even if you can't play. Intra-team matches will also be worth a hundred times more than NCAA games. ”

Dugg nodded, Sam Forcher was indeed very professional, and his analysis made sense.

So, he stretched out his hand and said, "Are you sure you won't recruit me to WMG?" ”

Sam Fogcher didn't understand what that meant.

Dugg replied, "Thank you for all the desk work you did for me. But, you also know the honors I've received at Anderson College. If I were to hand over all the business side of things to you so easily, and then, staring at the bank account numbers every day, my mentor, Mr. Nelson, would be going to slap my ass hard with his cane. I can't give up my expertise just because I play basketball, which makes the full scholarship and the Principal's Special Award meaningless. ”

"I hope the seniors can understand."

Duge was polite.

Sam Forge was persuaded by this reason, and instead of being annoyed by the rejection, he smiled: "As a senior, I understand and agree with your ideas very much, if you need any help, feel free to call me." ”

"In case you don't know, I was actually a student in the first class of Professor Nelson, who had just finished graduate school at Harvard, and then he got an associate professor position at UCLA, and we got along like real friends. Honestly, I miss the heather in his backyard, which we planted with our own hands. ”

Snoopy's eyes widened, "So... You planted those things that are full of essence? ”

When he said this, his heart was full of resentment, and every time he helped Professor Nelson repair the garden, he always slandered in his heart, but he didn't expect that today's 'initiator' would stand in front of him.

Afterwards, the two brothers had a conversation about Mr. Nelson's interesting facts.

This made Russell next to him at a loss, and he seemed to be an outsider.

……

After meeting with Sam Forcher, Kevin Love also introduced his agent, Jeff Schwartz, to Dug in the afternoon, from ESM, the world's No. 7 sports agency for sports management.

Jeff Schwartz and his company were also interested in Dugg, but Puppy still chose to refuse.

He doesn't plan to hire agents from these well-known companies, he wants to try his skills. Of course, in the future, he is not averse to poaching one or two brokers from these great brokerage companies and then starting to build his own brokerage team.

After meeting with the two roommates' agents, Snoopy got his first real sense of business from the NBA.

The professional basketball world is getting closer and closer to him!
