"Nikola Jokic."

Lin Ying gave the answer directly...

It was just the answer he gave that made Warken Dean repeat the name, and then look at him with confusion.

Obviously, he is not familiar with Jokic, and may not even have paid attention to him.

This is also understandable, Jokic was selected by the Nuggets in the middle of the second round in history.

In low-level Taobao, what is more important than the draft vision is the information gap.

"He attended my personal training camp."

Lin Ying gave an explanation.

"What are his characteristics?"

Walken Dean asked seriously.

This name sounds like it comes from the former Yugoslavia, where basketball talents are often produced, so it's normal that he doesn't know about it.

Of course, more importantly, this is not a Chinese person, and Lin Ying has no selfish motives in it.

"He is about 2.13 meters tall, slow, and very fat, like a piece of... pork belly."

Lin Ying's first words made Dean Walken frown slightly.

If it is a live broadcast to sell goods, Lin Ying's current wave is similar to "Black Garlic Sister"'s reverse sales.

However, he still motioned for Lin Ying to continue.

Unless Lin Ying was joking with him, this was definitely not all Lin Ying had to say.

As expected, Lin Ying then spoke again:

"Aside from these shortcomings, he has the potential to develop into a top player in other aspects. He can play in low singles, organize offense, and has the potential to develop outside three-pointers. Of course, the most important thing is that he has a historical level of golf IQ.

Comparable to Larry Bird."

"Are you not exaggerating?"

The contrast between Lin Ying's two paragraphs before and after was too strong, and the impact on Walken Dean was too strong.

But this is exactly why Lin Ying said this, so that people can become interested in a player they don't know.

"No, his golf intelligence can even make up for many of his weaknesses, such as on the defensive end. He can do a good job of assisting defense and supplementary defense through reading and prediction."

Walken Dean listened very carefully.

Lin Ying really got him interested in this "pork belly" player.

"Fat guys are all potential stocks. He can adapt to the NBA as long as he loses weight."

Lin Ying finally added.

"I will arrange for someone to observe."

Walken Dean nodded and said.

Lin Ying's attitude gave him a basic conclusion.

If Jokic is good enough, the team will pick him in the first round. If he is average, he will be picked in the second round if there is a chance.

…

The Nets' championship parade is over, and the curtain of the 2013~2014 season has come to an end.

However, before the long early period arrives, the upcoming draft and free market are still particularly interesting.

Because of Wiggins and Embiid, this year's draft is a standard year.

Unfortunately, just before the draft was about to begin, Embiid suffered a stress fracture in his right foot, which made the battle between him and Wiggins no longer suspenseful.

This year's lottery ended before, and the Nuggets won the No. 1 pick.

Unless the Nuggets management likes centers as much as the previous Rockets, even if they are injured, Wiggins will become the No. 1 pick in all likelihood.

This year's draft will still be held at the Barclays Center as in the past.

Lin Ying paid more attention to this draft than before because of the advice he gave this year.

The Nets have a total of three picks this year.

One is his 29th pick, one is the 33rd pick from the Magic, and the other is his second-round pick 59th.

With three picks and some chips on hand, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

On the day of the draft, Lin Ying and Butler went to the VIP box at Barclays Center together.

Butler will not officially become an unrestricted free agent until the free market opens, and he is still a member of the Nets.

"Is the Jokic you are talking about really that amazing?"

On the way here, Lin Ying also told Butler about Jokic, and Butler couldn't help but be curious.

Because he took a look at the little green room and saw that there were no pork belly-level players.

"His golf IQ is really high."

Lin Ying still said the same words.

Because of the time he traveled through, his knowledge of Bird's game was limited to those highlights.

But in fact, if you only look at the highlights, JR is Jordan.

But as for Jokic, he has really seen playing, and it has been a long time.

"How does it compare to you?"

Butler is more direct than Walken Dean.

"Taller than me."

Lin Ying gave an affirmative answer.

Butler stopped talking now.

Because he knew that Lin Ying did not need to belittle himself to praise a rookie.

This shows that the guy named Jokic is really good.

The draft will begin soon.

Tatum came to the stage. This was his first time on the road as the new league president.

He was greeted with the customary boos.

This has nothing to do with whether he is Stern or not, but a sense of ritual in the draft.

Tatum still gave people a very gentle feeling. He waited until the boos subsided and announced the start of the draft.

The Nuggets are the team with the No. 1 pick.

They have made up for the regret of not being able to draw the No. 1 pick in 2003.

The draft results came out five minutes later, and without any surprise, Wiggins was selected with the first overall pick.

Wiggins was excited but also a little nervous when he was drafted.

Because of Noel's relationship last year, he was not sure he was stable.

Especially the Nuggets didn't give him a definite answer.

Seeing Wiggins trotting all the way to the stage, Lin Ying became more curious.

I wonder if Wiggins will still be able to hold a thermos cup after going to Denver.

And in his last life, he saw many people assuming that "Would Wiggins have played better if he was not a grave rookie like the Timberwolves?" He should have the answer.

The next few picks are very close to those in history.

The Bucks drafted Jabari Parker with the second pick.

The 76ers, like the Rockets, chose to take a big gamble and take away Embiid, who is definitely out for the season.

Lin Ying had been waiting, and soon the Nets' first-round pick arrived.

The Nets' choice is still very interesting.

As the only team to defend their title in the past decade, they are also the only team with the potential to be a dynasty.

Moreover, it is the home court of the draft, and there are many Nets fans here.

"With the 29th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2014, the Brooklyn Nets selected...Nikola Jokic, a 2.13-meter center from Serbia."

"pretty!"

Lin Ying couldn't help but slap her thigh when she heard this choice.

It seems Walken Dean took his advice.

Although this is explainable.

Dean Walken has asked his opinion on draft issues in the past, and Covington and Crowder have also shown good abilities.

What Lin Ying didn't know was that Warken Dean also personally went to Serbia.
