Chapter 437 [Target, Two Swing People!] 】
The next day, Yang Rui sent an email to Kupchak, four draft targets, two first-choice and two alternate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The No. 8 pick is the preferred swingman Andre Iguodala, who is 198cm tall and weighs 95 kilograms, and the template is Pippen.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Iguodala's greatest achievement was winning the 2015 championship and Finals MVP, and he played a significant role in defending James. He's an all-around warrior, but he's not a good leader, so he's been leading the 76ers to the brink of the playoffs when he's in good numbers.
ALTERNATE ANDRIS BIEDRINS, A 211CM TALL AND 109-KILOGRAM LATVIAN CENTER FORWARD, HAS A STRONG PHYSICALITY AND UNTAPPED ATTACKING ABILITY.
The only people in the Lakers team who can play now are Yao Ming, Odom, Robert Hawley, and Brian Cook, and they still need big men.
Biedrins is too skinny, average against free throws, and Ben Wallace is a level. Yang Rui is not interested in training, knowing that he can't shoot and practice, and the reason why he was chosen is that the interior line is valuable, and he can be traded with other teams in exchange for the people the team needs. For example, if you trade down to Josh Smith, the other party can also take a second-round pick for next year.
Yang Rui believes that the most valuable people in this draft are Iguodala and Josh Smith, both of whom have super physical fitness, are both slam dunk king level, have high defensive enthusiasm, are all-round, and are worth cultivating. Whether it's positional warfare or fast breaking, they can make a difference.
The second round is the first choice for Trevo Ariza, the best role player, who is highly mobile and has the potential to become a 3-and-D player.
HE IS 203CM TALL, WEIGHS 98 KG, HAS AN ARM SPAN OF 218CM, AND HAS OUTSTANDING LATERAL DATA, AND THE REASON WHY HE FELL TO THE SECOND ROUND IS BECAUSE HIS OFFENSIVE SKILLS ARE TOO ROUGH.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Ariza has never practiced offensive skills with the ball, and he is very good without the ball. If you let him attack with the ball, he is an "iron slag"......
SECOND-CHOICE POINT GUARD CHRIS DUJON, A 185CM TALL AND 84-KILOGRAM INSTANT GUARD.
Du Hong is a graduate of Duke University, played four years in college, lacks potential, and has the advantage of playing steadily and will not mess around. He is a breakout, average organization, and his main means of scoring is shooting three-pointers, and he won the 2000 McDonald's High School All-Star Three-Point Contest. He is also more aggressive defensively, which fits the Lakers' system.
Yang Rui remembers that Ariza is relatively late in the pick, so he should be able to be selected, and the point guard is more inclined to find veterans in the free market, and does not need to have the strength to play as a starter, focusing on imparting rookie game experience.
On June 25, the 2004 draft was held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
As usual, David Stern was booed by the crowd. Last season's playoffs were more fair, but it didn't work, the fans just liked to boo him, boo boo is healthier!
The Magic drew the No. 1 pick, and the consensus was that Emeka Okafor would be the No. 1 pick, and he was the immediate center. The Magic chose high school center Dwight Howard, and management preferred to bet on Howard's talent.
Jordan's Bobcats have selected Okafor, an excellent defensive center.
Jordan called Yang Rui to propose joining forces, but Yang Rui said that he already had a choice and refused.
The SuperSonics drew the draw and selected two-way guard Ben Gordon.
The Bucks fired George Carr, leaving Ray Allen as the core builder. After Payton left, the SuperSonics didn't have a star to join, and they played badly. Ben Gordon will definitely be cultivated as a core by the SuperSonics, and Rashad Lewis is not the material to be the boss and will not steal the ball, and the two don't know what kind of sparks they can create.
The Clippers, who have been at the bottom for consecutive years, finished in fourth place, and manager Elgin Baylor chose high school guard Sean Livingston. Livingston is skinny like a drug addict, and he can't do it when he looks at it, but Clippers management believes he can become a star point guard at 201cm tall.
This is the vision of Lord Belle, and soon the ship.
The Hawks picked swingman Josh Childes for the fifth place, and while there were rumors that the Hawks would trade guard Terry, they skipped Devin Harris.
In sixth, the Warriors selected point guard Devin Harris, the fastest player in the rookie class.
The seventh place is the 76ers, which is also the team that makes Yang Rui feel the most nervous. Thankfully, the 76ers' first choice wasn't Andre Iguodala, and they chose swingman Rolle Deng, an instant striker at the small forward position.
Rohrdeng is not as physically fit as Iguodala, but he has a well-rounded skill. In Yang Rui's previous life, Luo Erdeng was chosen by the bulls, so they went and sought second.
In eighth place, the Lakers successfully selected Iguodala, and a superman arrived.
In front of the TV, Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Iguodala is a great seedling and an instant player, he played well in his first season with the 76ers, helping the team on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he was very powerful on the fast break.
With Kobe Bryant on the team, Iguodala doesn't need to attack with the ball, just do what he is good at. Yang Rui is ready to train him to be a player like Marion, focusing on air cutting and fast attack scoring, and he will be qualified if he has a good three-point point in positional warfare, and if he is well adjusted, he will be a perfect 3D player.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Iguodala was the core of the 76ers, and he played 19.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists at the peak, but the efficiency was not high. The 76ers wanted him to be the boss, and it turned out that he wasn't that material at all, and he was more efficient off the ball.
The Cavaliers are in ninth place with a record that is neither high nor low, and they chose center Rafael Arauyo, a 211CM tall and 125kg meat shield center, with poor physical fitness and poor arm span.
In Yang Rui's previous life, this person was selected by the Raptors with the eighth pick, and he had no ball to play in only three seasons, and his poor defense made it impossible for him to gain a foothold in the NBA. In college, he could bully his peers with his weight, but when he entered the NBA, there were too many people who could resist him, and his speed became a disadvantage.
Yang Rui doubts the James tragedy, at least next season, the Cavaliers' record will not improve.
The teams that the later strength players went to and Yang Rui's previous life have not changed much, and there are no changes.
Al Jefferson still went to the Celtics, the Green Army lacked a meat shield center, he is an underrated rookie, but the shortcomings are obvious, the offense and defense are weak.
JR Smith was drafted by the Hornets, he has potential, Yang Rui doesn't know if he will meet Byron Scott, the Hornets are going to change coaches this summer, if Smith meets a good coach, maybe the strength will be stronger.
In the second round, the Lakers selected Ariza in the 8th place, so that the Lakers' No. 2 and No. 3 starting benches are available, and strong men like Devin George, who play by his body, have no place in the team, and it is a good bargaining chip to trade it in the summer, and Yang Rui already has a candidate in mind.
When the draft was over, Yang Rui called Kupchak and said he was very satisfied.
Kupchak asked: "What do we do next?" ”
"Come with another person, try to send George as much as possible, I hope the other party will like it." Yang Rui replied.
"Is that good? George had mediocre stats last season, but he played five seasons and had a lot of experience, and if he left and didn't renew Fox's contract in the summer, our forwards would be all newcomers. Kupchak smiled wryly.
"Trust me, it's okay forward, if we can, Robert Horry we're going to trade it too, Cook can shoot threes, and the two of them overlap. Horry can't run, it's hard to play in my system, and I can't be a meat shield. ”
"Who do you trade with?"
"Eagle!"
