Magic, letâs play a big
Boom for everyone. The Magic team played a big one for everyone with the No. 1 pick in this yearâs draft. Although the day before the draft, all signs indicate that Banchero's probability of getting the No. 1 pick is increasing, but Smith is still the Magic No. 1 pick in my mind.
But the Magic finally chose Banchero, which was the biggest surprise in this year's draft. After Banchero was selected, he still couldn't believe it, and Smith couldn't believe that he was not the top pick. After all, he had been the top pick in the past few months. The top pick is the most popular.
The reason why the Magic chose Banchero: His skills are more comprehensive than Smith's, and his ability to handle the ball is urgently needed by the Magic. The current two defenders in the Magic's backcourt, Fultz and Anthony , are not good at handling the ball. .
Banchero's passing ability is underestimated and is likely to be the T1 level among players in this class. In addition, Banchero University has a dazzling record, taking Duke to the semi-finals. This is an ability that Smith has not shown before.
Banchero's illness should not be as serious as fans say, otherwise the Magic would not take the risk.
Thunder , Spider-Man Training Plan
The Thunder can be regarded as one of the big winners in today's draft, picking the 2nd, 11th and 12th picks in the lottery area respectively. The Magic's jump pick did not disrupt Presti's plan. Whether the No. 1 pick is Smith or Benqueiro, the Thunder should have made up their minds to select Chet. The talent limit of is high enough and there are potential injuries, but the Thunder don't care about this.
Some fans are worried about whether Chet and Poku will overlap. I think if the Thunder selects Chet at the second position, they will naturally put Chet at the number one position. Moreover, Poku and Chet have different styles, so they can play at the same time. Chet should start with defense.
11 was acquired by the Thunder from the Knicks . They chose Usman Dieng, a 2.08-meter French forward with a wingspan of over 2.13 meters and good ball-handling and shooting skills.
12 is the Thunder's own pick, choosing Jaylen Williams, a long-armed monster from Santa Clara University. He is less than 2 meters tall, but has a wingspan of 2.19 meters. The three players selected by the Thunder this year all have excellent wingspans and have clear goals.
Rockets : Is the number one pick in my hands?
The Rockets are definitely the one with the least pressure among the top three picks. Although almost everyone is ready to welcome Banqueiro, Jabari Smith , the top pick, comes to the Rockets, which is definitely a good thing for the Rockets. Earned.
The good news is that Smith does not have the problem of overlapping positions with Shen Jing. Smith likes to shoot, and the Rockets hope that he will always be a big shooter. He's not very good at holding the ball, but that doesn't matter. The Rockets need a lot of people holding the ball, and they don't need Smith to hold the ball.
17 selected Ethan, a 3D wing that I am very optimistic about personally, with extremely strong defensive ability. Ethan is the first player since Thybulle to have a steal rate of 4% and a block rate of 6% in college. Defense is something that NBA cannot defeat.
Later, the Rockets exchanged the 26th pick for the Grizzlies' 29th pick and two second rounds, and then used the 29th pick to select Taytay Washington, who they originally wanted to select. A pure point guard with a height of 1.89 meters, it was a waste of money. Two second rounds.
The king is still the king
is here, the king's choice is here, and it does not disappoint. The king skipped Ivey and chose Murray . As a result, the top four picks in this year's draft are all power forwards, which is probably unprecedented.
"Chicken Liver" can be regarded as the ceiling of this rookie's ability. The template is Siakam . He can do a little bit of everything, but there is nothing particularly outstanding. The Kings want him because they want to hit the playoffs and use him for . But is it worth the Kings missing out on Ivey?
So itâs the turn of this picture again.In 2011, the Warriors selected Clay with the 11th pick, and the Kings selected Fredette with the 10th pick; in 2012, the Trail Blazers selected Lillard with the 6th pick, and the Kings selected Thomas with the 5th pick. -Robinson; In 2018, the Mavericks selected Doncic with the third overall pick, and the Kings selected Bagley with the second overall pick.
piston , the biggest winner today?
The whole world knows that the Pistons wanted to select Ivey, but the Kings just gave Ivey to the Pistons with nothing. The Pistons were laughing. Don't worry about the coexistence of Ivey and CC. Ivey played a lot without the ball in college and the results were excellent.
Ivey's mother played in the WNBA's Detroit, and his grandfather played in the NFL's Detroit Lions. Ivey can be said to have Detroit blood since he was a child, so he was very excited after being selected by the Pistons.
This is not over yet. The Pistons also traded No. 13 pick Jaylen Duren and Kemba Walker , at the cost of the Bucks 25's first round in the previous Grant trade. Duren is 2.11 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.26 meters. He is known as the Little Monster and is considered the number one center in this draft.
Selecting Duren is an insurance against Ayton not coming. Yesterday I said that the Pistons' first target would be Bridges Jr., and then Ayton. Today's Pistons draft proves this.
The current Pistons lineup, CC, Ivey, Sadiq Bay, Bagley, Duren, is really worth looking forward to.
Knicks, what is it like to make two first-rounders in one day?
The Knicks originally had the No. 11 pick, but they traded it to the Thunder in exchange for the three first-round picks from the Thunder for next year's Pistons, Wizards , and Nuggets . There was strict pick protection, but that was also Three first-rounders.
Later, the Knicks traded the No. 13 pick Duren from the Hornets , giving away four second-round picks and the Nuggets' 23rd-year first-round pick. Then the Knicks traded Duren and Kemba Walker to the Pistons in exchange for the Bucks' first rounder in 25 years.
In summary, the Knicks earned two first-round picks and freed up $18 million to pursue Brunson. I will just watch you choose quietly. Anyway, I want to snatch Brunson from the Mavericks.
Spurs : Do you think I wonât choose a defender?
The Spurs finally selected a forward with the 9th pick, the American version of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Polish forward Jeremy Sohan from Baylor University . has short yellow hair and is extremely eye-catching. He is 2.06 meters tall. Template Kuzma can run, jump and defend well.
Just when you thought the Spurs finally stopped drafting guards, the Spurs selected Malachi Branham with the 20th pick and Blake Wesley with the 25th pick. The former is the second position with a height of 1.96 meters, and the latter is the first position with a height of 1.93 meters.
With three first-round picks, the Spurs chose two guards and one forward. In the end, they still did not get rid of the fate of choosing guards.
Who did the Lakers Warriors choose?
The Lakers originally had no draft rights, so they traded the 35th pick from the Magic and selected Max Christie. 19 years old, 1.97 meters tall and 86KG in weight, he looks very thin. He can be regarded as a shooter-type player with excellent running ability without the ball, but his three-point shooting rate in college is only 31.7%. It depends on the Lakers' training.
After the draft, the Lakers and Pippen's son signed a two-way contract, allowing O'Neal's son to participate in the summer league with the team. This is the stage of human kindness.
The Warriors selected Patrick Baldwin Jr. with the 28th pick in the first round. He has a great background. He was once the fifth high school student in the United States. However, among this rookie class, the top high school students in the country were not very good. Hardy, who was second in the country, fell directly into the second round.
Baldwin is 2.09 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.18 meters and a weight of 105 kilograms. He has great injury risks. He played 11 games, averaging 12.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, shooting 34.4% from the field and three-pointers. Hit rate 26.6%.The
28 pick was considered a low-price bargain. Then the Warriors used cash + the 51st pick in exchange for the 44th pick from the Hawks, and selected guard Ryan Rollins from University of Toledo . combo guard , averaged 18.9 points, 6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game in college, a good choice.
Zeng Fanbo was not selected in the end. It was unexpected but reasonable. It can be seen from Zeng Fanbo's arrival at the scene that he still had great confidence in being selected, but he was ultimately unsuccessful. It doesn't matter, continue to look for opportunities, play in the summer league, and come back if it doesn't work out.
