"You've all seen the roster of draft suggestions given by different people before the team's draft last year, right?"

As soon as this question was raised, many people at the scene nodded frequently.

This may not be common in the NBA, but within the Philadelphia 76ers, there is a similar mechanism: before each year's draft, team staff members from different professions provide a roster of drafts that they think they should pick and choose.

The team staff, of course, includes managers, coaches, players, scouts, etc., among which the personal reports of managers and scouts are the most critical, for the simple reason that the draft itself is an important responsibility of these two.

In the offseason after last season, the team did the same, with Billy King, Cheeks, the team's scouts, including the heads of the team's main departments, and the team's current Iron Triangle future core - Chen Mu, Iguodala, and Korver, all submitted their draft proposals.

Among them, Billy King and Cheeks' suggestions are not far apart, basically based on the team's scouting reports, with some personal views and ideas on the team's future building route, and the final roster constructed is basically consistent with the list of players won by Philadelphia in the draft.

Billkin's list is the same as the draft list, and it can also be seen that Billikin has the most power in the draft.

In addition, the selection of players is more imaginative, Iguodala selected candidates are mainly considered by athleticism, and among the players who participate in the draft, players with explosive physical fitness are basically in Iguodala's eyes. In particular, players who are rumored to have had a habit of continuous equipment practice at the university level have won Iguodala's favor.

Korver's selection is more focused on the player's individual ability and character, and the main aspect of ability is whether the player himself has a certain outstanding specialty that is enough to bring immediate help to the team. In terms of personality, the players are predominantly docile and humble, and these choices are not surprising given Korver's own personality traits.

The most shocking thing for shareholders. is the absolute core of the team today, the draft list of the Chinese kid Chen Mu.

"Do you have it all at hand? If not, let Daisy make a few copies and print them out, and everyone will take a closer look. ”

The major shareholder's words, the administrative secretary Daisy immediately complied, and soon a document that had just been printed, still with the smell of ink and the heat of the printer, was sent to the shareholders.

"Daisy, wait a minute."

Daisy finally finished her work and was just about to sit down, when the voice of the major shareholder rang out again.

"Go and print out Billkin's list, or the list of the final reality draft, and we'll make a comparison."

"Okay."

Daisy got up and went to work again, in fact, the 76ers had 4 draft picks before this season. But for these shareholders who have been immersed in the sports circle for many years, it is not impossible to remember any of them. The major shareholder didn't deliberately wait, and Gu Zi began to speak.

"The 17th pick in the first round, we ended up with Thaddeus Young, and we haven't played a few games so far this season, right? How talented is it? How strong is it? The majority shareholder asked.

"I can only say so-so!" One shareholder shook his head slightly.

"Who is Chen Xuan's 17th pick, everyone has seen it." The major shareholder nodded: "Mark Gasol." ”

"This choice, in my personal opinion, is not necessarily superior to Thaddeus, after all, Mark is still playing in Europe. Everyone knows that other leagues are completely different from the NBA. After those European kings arrived in the NBA, few of them could play at their worth. One shareholder shook his head.

"Well, it can only be said to be a bold gamble, but that's not the point." The major shareholder nodded and continued: "Then the first round 21st pick. We picked, or rather Billykin, chose DeQuinn Cook. ”

"Hmm...... Chen's roster is Rudy Fernandez, another Spaniard. One shareholder looked at the list and confirmed.

"It seems that the Chinese kid has a preference for the Spaniards, haha!" One shareholder laughed: "And." Rudy won't be in the NBA this season, right? ”

"That being said, Rudy's season has been good so far." One shareholder said: "I've watched some European games. This young man has superhuman physical fitness, flexibility and ball sense are very good, I am afraid he will be a pretty good seedling. ”

"No matter how good the seedlings are, what's the use of not being able to play in the NBA?" One shareholder said disdainfully: "I think this Chinese kid may have some personal relationship with these people in Spain!" ”

"Personal relationships are embodied in this kind of place, which guarantees that they will be chosen? Chan doesn't look like such a naïve person. The previous shareholder shook his head.

"Leave them alone and keep looking. Oh, Daisy, you're here, great, send a copy of the reality draft list to everyone. The major shareholder continued: "The 30th pick in the first round, Petri Coponeng, has not played until now, has not entered the squad, and after being selected, he will be directly sent to the second league." ”

"This draft is an absolute failure." One shareholder frowned.

"Look at the Rocket's Landry, that is, the combat power is very good." One shareholder nodded: "Did you get two pairs once this month?" Facing Al Jefferson? ”

"And Glen Davis, with such a big body, the mid-range shot is quite accurate, and it would be good if he could be selected to play as a substitute." Another shareholder agreed.

"So Chen's choice is Landry." The major shareholder stretched out his hand and flicked Chen Mu's draft list, and said with a serious expression: "The choice of this position can show Chen's unique vision." ”

"In the end, it was the 38th overall pick, we chose Feshenko, who is also a guy who can't play for the time being, and has a good physical hardware foundation, and then he was exchanged for Milicic."

"It's Ramon Sessions here, oh my God!" A shareholder couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the selection of Chen Mu's draft list in his hand.

Ramon Sessions, a second-round pick, was favored by very few people when he ran for the election, because in every aspect, Sessions' talent and strength were not good. It's not bad, but it's not outstanding either.

The three-point score is not accurate, the breakthrough is not sharp, the defense is not good, and the physical fitness can only be said to be mediocre at the NBA level, and there is no great potential. In his final year NCAA season at the University of Nevada, he averaged only 12 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, which was not a conceded at best.

But such a player who was actually drafted with the 56th overall pick and narrowly missed the selection quickly relegated to the minor league after being drafted by the Bucks, and completely dominated the minor league that season, winning consecutive individual honors.

Shortly before the shareholder meeting, the Bucks announced the recall of Sessions from the minor league, and Sessions, who finally landed in the NBA, was given some opportunities to perform. Although he didn't see any great potential in a short period of time, his help to the Bucks' overall offense when he was on the court was obvious to all, especially his natural sense of ball distribution was fully revealed, which caused many teams who missed him to salivate.

"If we follow Chen's draft roster, then we're going to end up with Marc Gasol, Rudy Fernandez, Karllandri, and Ramon Sessions this season." The major shareholder frowned.

"Half of this draft roster won't be in the NBA until next year, but the latter two have shown their potential, and no matter how you look at it, they are much more reliable than our current draft." A shareholder said.

"And if you look closely, there's more to this draft roster than that." The major shareholder nodded: "Mark and Rudy will not land in the NBA until next year, but next year everyone knows that we will most likely trade Durham Porter and maybe let go of Willie Green." In this way, we will have Dacomilisic in the starting five, and there will be vacancies in the number five and number two positions on the bench. ”

"What do you mean...... The Chinese kid's draft also takes into account the team's future development route and needs? One shareholder was a little hard to believe that conclusion.

"That's all I can say." The majority shareholder nodded.

"And Karlrandry and Ramon Sessions can just make up for the shortcomings of our scoring ability in the fourth position of the bench and the playmaking ability of the first position, so it seems ......"

Here's a draft list worth a thousand dollars!

At this point, almost all shareholders have confirmed this.

The Chinese kid's draft roster may seem far inferior to the choices given by most team managers at first glance, but in the long run, it is a surefire choice.

Marc Gasol and Rudi Fernandez are both players who have proven themselves in the world's top leagues. Especially Marc Gasol, it is not good to say that he will win the MVP of the Spanish league this season.

From the perspective of the technical characteristics of the players, Mark's mid-range shooting and strategy are the most lacking elements in Philadelphia's starting No. 5 position. At the same time, his rim-protecting ability and rebounding skills are not much worse than Durham Porter's, making him a pretty versatile option.

Rudy Fernandez's athleticism and unique ball sense can also make him an outside offensive initiator and finisher for the 76ers, and his dashing style of play is also a big positive for the team to attract box office.

"So, Billikin's question ......," there was silence for a while, and one shareholder asked tentatively.

"Dismissal, but you can't say that to the outside world." The major shareholder nodded and said: "Find a way to discuss with Billikin to see if he can make his resignation application himself, and the pressure of public opinion will be lighter." ”

The ensuing discussion went smoothly, with Billkin's problem resolved, and the next step was to choose a candidate.

When it comes to recommending candidates, everyone has their own circles and connections, and the choices given are naturally very different. However, the majority shareholder has always adhered to one principle, and that is:

"Whoever the next manager is, make sure he's willing to listen to the Chinese kids." (To be continued......)
