The draft continues, and after the top 10, there are no very good stars in the first round. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In Yang Rui's previous life, many people left footprints in the NBA, such as Bunch Wells, Al Harrington, Ricky Davis and others played beautiful statistics and failed to be selected as an All-Star.

Yang Rui can't remember the specific order of the draft, he is a human being, not a Transformer, and it is impossible to remember everything.

There are a lot of strongmen in the second round of this year, and the "big dark horse" first recommended striker Rashad Lewis, who came to the scene today and was invited to wait in the "little green house".

In the NBA draft, players who receive an official invitation to enter the draft are generally voted by the general manager of the NBA team, and finally decided by the vice president of the league.

Every year in the draft, there are generally about 15 players who enter the small green house, and they can be accompanied by relatives and friends to the draft site, they are people who have the potential to become a lottery show, and they may become stars in the future, which is an honor.

At the draft, the selected players are given a cap by the field officials who pick their team, and then go on stage to shake hands with the NBA president.

Going into the second round, the Lakers selected Kobe's lifelong enemy Ruben Patterson for the second time. As soon as this guy entered the league, he looked at Kobe Bryant unpleasantly, found all kinds of faults, and once had a very bad impact within the team, so the team traded him away. After that, Patterson began to wander around.

He is best known for successfully defending Kobe Bryant in a game and calling himself the "Kobe Terminator" after the game, only to meet Kobe Bryant again and often be blown up and left a laughing stock.

Lewis was selected by the SuperSonics in third place, and Yang Rui hurriedly asked: "Glenn, can you exchange Lewis for it through a trade?" This guy is good. ”

"There's no way to trade in the draft, after all, he was predicted that the lottery will fall to this position, and the SuperSonics won't let people go casually, let's discuss it first when we go back and see what chips are needed."

"Okay."

Yang Rui has been working for the Knicks for one season and can understand the management's thinking, but when it comes to trading, it can't be done on impulse. It's not about buying groceries, it's about buying people.

Yang Rui has absolute belief in Lewis's ability, and in 1998, Rashad Lewis, who did not go to college, entered the NBA with a 27-point performance in the McDonald's Star Game.

Unfortunately, he set the record for the longest time in the Green House, scoring less than 50 points in his first year of supersonic play, and it wasn't until Payton left that Lewis and Ray Allen formed the supersonic twin, and he played average for the first two years.

Therefore, Yang Rui is not in a hurry at all, this person is easy to exchange, and it is impossible for SuperSonics to understand the future value of Lewis like him.

The two names that Yang Rui is familiar with are also in the second round, and he is itching to see it.

"Street Ball King" Ralph Alston was selected by the Bucks for the 39th place.

"Old Cat" Catino Mobley was selected by the Rockets at No. 41.

Mobley is only 193CM tall, plays as a shooting guard, and graduated from a prestigious university, so he fell into this pick, and he is seriously underrated. In the future, Mobley will prove his worth with excellent shooting.

Seeing that the familiar celebrities were selected, Yang Rui made the final decision. "Glenn, the Raptors' defense is not very good, since you don't choose a guard, then choose a forward who can defend, I am optimistic about Ryan Bowen."

Glenn immediately checked Bowen's profile, he is 206cm tall, weighs 100 kilograms, has an unpretentious college experience, 9 points and 6.7 rebounds, but he is a recognized defensive expert and can watch the outside scorer well.

A person who mainly plays small forward is not good at scoring, no breakthrough, no body, only mid-range shooting is acceptable, and his fame depends on the style of desperate Saburo, which can be regarded as a superlative.

Glenn smiled slightly: "Okay, just him." ”

Such a person who is sure to get a basic salary, Glenn has no reason to refuse, if he doesn't choose Bowen, he doesn't have any good candidates. The second-round rookie in this position can be cut at any time as long as he doesn't play well.

Yang Rui is not chosen randomly, the person named Bowen is not simple, and Ryan also had highlight moments in his previous life.

In the 2005 playoffs Rockets vs. Mavericks series, Bowen averaged 18 minutes per game, scored 2.6 points, and was responsible for defending Nowitzki.

In seven games against the Rockets, Nowitzki hit just 45 of 128 shots, a measly 35.1 percent, compared to 45.9 percent in the regular season.

In the 2005-06 season with the Rockets, Bowen appeared in 68 games, including 19 starts, and averaged 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per game. Bowen is a defensive guy who was "appreciated" by Van Gundy during his two seasons with the Rockets.

On defense, Bowen spent ten seasons in the NBA before retiring in 2010.

Of course, he is destined to only be a marginal person, and it is impossible for him to become a big man. Yang Ruixuan didn't plan to cut him, and when necessary, he would have a chance to perform.

Fifty-eight rookies were selected one after another, and the draft was over.

Glenn breathed a sigh of relief: "Going into the holidays, before the collective bargaining agreement is finalized, there is no summer league, there is no way to arrange player training camps, you can go to Toronto a little later." ”

"Okay, if there's a target for reinforcements, they'll call me, right?"

"Of course, you can also participate in meetings and recommend players, but you have to be a free agent who can sign easily, you can't trade because we don't have enough chips."

"I know." Yang Rui smiled: "Actually, there is a candidate now, you had better contact him and let him know our intentions." ”

"Who?"

"Center Brad Miller." Yang Rui pointed to the draft book.

Miller, who is 213cm tall and weighs 115 kilograms, attended Purdue University from 1994 to 1998 and represented the university in the NCAA basketball game, averaging 17.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

Glenn smiled wryly, "Then why didn't you just draft him in the second round?" ”

"Because I know he's going to lose the election, do you believe it? This way we can take down two nice newcomers at no cost. Miller can be signed with only a base salary, and he has a lot of potential because he has a good physique, can be a meat shield, and can also shoot. ”

Miller is one of the most famous undrafted rookies in the NBA, because he is a white man with poor athleticism, he is completely unpopular this year, and he has mixed with the Italian minor league, so Yang Ruicai did not directly use the second-round pick to select him. A defensive player like Bowen is what the Raptors also need.

"Well, I'll contact him while the shutdown hasn't been announced yet."

Glenn happily met Yang Rui's requirements, and the Raptors must be short of people on the inside in the new season, and there is no center with a contract.

If there are no well-known interior players to join the Raptors in the end, they will only have to pick among these undrafted rookies.

Glenn doesn't know that although most of the Raptors' roster is young rookies, the potential of this team is indescribable!
