Chapter 698 Draft Dilemma

Updated: 2013-04-03

There are still six days left before the draft, and the Chinese national team still has two warm-up matches against the Lithuanian national team. After analyzing the free agent market, Presti re-targeted this year's rookies. It is not that the rookies of this year are of particularly high quality, but that compared with the players in the free agent market, rookies are more worth a bet.

Moreover, it is also a convenient run to acquire some players through rookie trading. Many summer big deals are accompanied by rookie trading. This year Presti also hits several goals, but the other party may refuse to make a separate transaction intention. It is better to join the draft pick trade.

After a period of consideration, Presti has given up those unrealistic goals, such as Russell Westbrook. It is indeed as the current situation of the Supersonics. It is very difficult to get him and it takes a huge price to pay. It is hard to say how far he can grow.

As for the No. 1 favorite Derek Ross, he has been confirmed to be selected by the Chicago Bulls, who won the No. 1 pick. Although they already have a Kirk Hinrich, they also have a Roll Dung compared to Michael Beasley. Kirk Hinrich looks a little lacking in motivation after getting a big contract, and his physical condition is also worse than that of Roll Dung.

The most important thing is that Derek Ross is a very aggressive point guard that is popular in the league now, while Michael Beasley is an unpopular "no-three or four" forward. In addition, Derek Ross is a native of Chicago, which is also very important.

Because players growing up locally have a more sense of belonging to the team, fans are more willing to accept such players, who look like their own children, and Derek Ross' performance in the college league has also made people feel at ease about his ability.

The Miami Heat won the second draw. If Derek Ross is selected by the Bulls, 95% of them may choose Michael Beasley. Even if Derek Ross is not selected by the Bulls, they may choose others.

Because they already have a Dwayne Wade, if there is another Derek Rose, the backcourt lineup of the two will be too short. If Michael Beasley is selected, at least the two will not hit the spot. Michael Beasley's impact is still very attractive to the Heat.

The Minnesota Timberwolves draws were the Minnesota Timberwolves. They urgently need to find a new core player to start rebuilding, but the last record in the league was exchanged for a Nanhua lottery, which was very disappointing for both high and low. According to Presti's analysis, the biggest variable in the entire draft was them.

Because no one knows that he will choose the player in that position, because that position is the same for them. If Derek Ross and Michael Beasley are selected by the Bulls and the Heat, the only big favorite will be OJ Mayo.

OJ Mayo was beaten by Derek Ross and Russell Westbrook in the University of Arizona Wildcats, but his performance was still very good when facing other people. He is also a dual-athlete guard. He has a height slightly higher than others and has a very strong attack talent. When his height may increase, based on his offensive talent, he will grow into a top-class shooting guard in the league.

However, before the draft, OJ Mayo broke out with an agent storm. According to the regulations of the College Student League, college players are prohibited from signing agent contracts in advance during college and are also prohibited from obtaining benefits from manufacturers. OJ Mayo has been receiving benefits from a certain person since high school, and has received a total of hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits until college.

This person has a deep relationship with the well-known agent Bill Duffy. Many people suspect that OJ Mayo has reached an oral agreement with Bill Duffy. Once OJ Mayo becomes a professional player, he will be signed under Bill Duffy.

In many media hypes, OJ Mayo is a player whose talent is comparable to LeBron James. Once he can really sign such a player, the rewards he can bring to the agent will definitely be more than hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Because there was no definite evidence, the storm did not affect OJ Mayo's run, but it had an adverse impact on his reputation. He had already signed a contract with Bill Duffy's company and had to choose to break up and invest in the innovative artist agency that had grown up.

Will the Timberwolves choose OJ Mayo? Presty is very skeptical because the Minnesota Timberwolves do not have the tradition of guarding as the core of the team building. They prefer big men like Kevin Garnett, or Joe Smith, but there are no particularly outstanding big players among the rookies this year.

So Presti tried his best to guess what choice the Timberwolves would make, and then judged the following and listed many possibilities. However, the Seattle Supersonics and San Antonio Spurs had no friendship with the Timberwolves. They couldn't find out in advance, and both sides did not have the tradition of trading players.

Behind the Timberwolves are the Memphis Grizzlies. After trading Paul Gasol, they also started their own reconstruction path. With Rudy Gay already, they should no longer want players on the front line. The point guard also has a relatively good McConley, so their goal should be big players in the interior or shooting guards. However, there are no players in both positions this year, so if there are enough chips to move, they should trade their draft picks.

Behind the Memphis Grizzlies is the New York Knicks, who are also an unpredictable player, because their management is still in a state of chaos and the team does not seem to have obvious positions to strengthen, so their choice goals are also unpredictable.

If the previous teams were like this, even if you move a supercomputer over, you can't calculate who has the greatest chance of being the best. Presti hates such a team the most, and the Knicks are obviously not short of money. It's not easy to trade draft picks from them, unless you accept the large number of garbage contracts in their team.

Then there was the Los Angeles Clippers. When Presti saw this, he thought of the first round draft pick that Cooper traded with him. How good would this draft pick be this season? Although the sixth place is not too far ahead, it can basically get Presti's target player. Hey, there is, Presti suddenly came up with an idea.

I have had a headache again these two days and I am in a bad condition. Please forgive me.
