There is no doubt that Thompson's injury is uncomfortable.
At present, most of the outside voices point his injury to the torn Achilles tendon. Once
comes true, we will have to postpone another year to see Tang Shen playing.
However, maybe you can pay attention to the "Little Soup God" in this year's NBA Draft: Aaron Nasmith.
In today's draft, the Celtics picked Aaron Nesmith from Vanderbilt University with the No. 14 pick in the first round.
Aaron Nasmith, who is 1.98 meters tall, is the shooting guard. As a freshman last season,
averaged only 11 points per game and only 33.7% of his three-pointers. He even competed with his teammates for the starting position.
But this season, he has not only secured his position as a starting guard, his average data has also skyrocketed to 23 points (the SEC league scoring leader), 4.9 rebounds, 50% shooting from the field and 52% from three-pointers.
is worth mentioning that he averaged 8.2 three-pointers per game...
averaged 8.2 three-pointers per game, 52% three-point shooting, what concept...
and his own draft template Like Klay Thompson, Aaron Nasmith is a phenomenal shooter who is extremely good at killing opponents through long shots from the outside.
can even say that he is the best three-point shooter in this draft, and there is no one.
Aaron Nesmith's shooting movements are very smooth, there are almost no dead ends in the offensive range, his shooting IQ is very high, and there are few unreasonable shots.
In the game, fans can often see him making a Thompson-style off-the-ball run, catching a pass from his teammate, and having the potential to become an All-Star-level high-quality scorer. Why is
optimistic about Aaron Nesmith?
is not only his offensive skills, on the defensive end, Aaron Nasmith also has the potential to become a guard defensive gate. The wingspan of
2 meters 06 and a weight of 97.5 kilograms allow him to not suffer from most defenders. Although he is not very fast in lateral movement, he has a very high team defensive IQ.
has done a good job in pick-and-roll shifts and projection interference. This season's averaging 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks per game is the best proof.
But in terms of defensive footwork, he still needs a lot of practice.
The purpose of the Celtics' selection of Aaron Nesmith is obvious. They need a mobile shooter with stable shooting ability.
In the Eastern Conference finals against the Heat, the Celtics have been unable to break the zone defense. Why?
because their outside threat is not big enough at the three-point line, Miami can shrink the defense at will.
Brown and Smart can shoot three-pointers, but they can't keep shooting and keep going, but from the video of college games, Aaron-Neismith can do it, and he doesn't have the ball.
Imagine that in the new season, when Tatum is holding the ball, the Celtics are standing on the outside with a 50% three-point shooter. Do opponents dare to double-team easily?
is like what Aaron Nesmith said after being drafted: "I can make Walker easier on the offensive end, and I will do my best on both offensive and defensive ends." Brothers
, what do you think of his upper limit?
