Chapter 684 The 11 NBA Draft! "Godlike" Europe Descends Upon the League!
Chapter 684 The 11 NBA Draft! "Godlike" Europe Descends Upon the League!
Bear the brunt.
Kyrie Irving was selected by the Cavaliers as the number one overall pick.
Kyrie Irving was already a star in high school, and after playing only 11 games at Duke University, he was already the number one draft pick.
Even though he still has injuries.
He still relies on his extremely dazzling ball handling, All-Star offensive skills, and clutch finishing ability.
This earned him widespread praise.
He earned the title of "top scholar" at a young age.
LeBron's move to Miami, without leaving anything behind, caused the Cavaliers to plummet this season, turning them into a bottom-tier team.
They simply tanked, but fortunately they drafted Kyrie Irving this year, giving them the capital to rebuild.
There's a curse on talent shows.
Among the top three scholars (状元, 榜眼, and 探花), there must be one who is not quite right.
Kyrie Irving is a true number one draft pick.
However, the second overall pick, Derrick Williams, and the third overall pick, Enes Kanter, were both busts. On the other hand, the fourth overall pick, Tristan Thompson, averaged a double-double during his peak years, and his defense in the paint was also solid, so he played quite well.
Valanciunas, the fifth overall pick, is an excellent blue-collar center.
Kemba Walker, the ninth pick, is an All-Star caliber player. He is one of the few players that Michael Jordan didn't misjudge.
Klay Thompson, the 11th overall pick, is a testament to his future prowess, earning him titles such as "top 3D" and "the Splash Brother."
This year……
He was also selected 11th overall by the Warriors and will team up with Monta Ellis.
I wonder if the spark between Monta Ellis and Klay will be as big as that between Curry and Klay.
Kawhi Leonard, the 15th pick, is a superstar.
Nikola Vucevic, the 16th overall pick, is also an All-Star.
Jimmy Butler, the 30th pick, is also a superstar.
Bojan Bojan, the 31st pick, is a near All-Star caliber player.
Although the 11 draft was not as outstanding as the 09 draft, it will still produce a total of six All-Star caliber players.
Among them are four players who have played in the Finals multiple times as core players, and one of them is the Finals MVP.
This is of very high quality.
As a time traveler, Su Yan knew all too well which players had high potential for the future.
then……
On his advice, the Knicks selected Jimmy Butler with the 30th overall pick in the first round this year.
The exact same order.
Jimmy's performance when he first entered the league was not good, and his personal talent was not particularly outstanding, not even as good as George's.
That's why.
The Knicks would then have a chance to select the 30th pick.
This will further upgrade the Knicks' future roster.
Point Guard: Curry, Shooting Guard: Jimmy, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: George, Center: Chandler.
Once it grows up.
With four All-Stars—no, four superstars—the Knicks will take off and become invincible.
of course.
This is at least 2 to 3 years from now.
Currently, Jimmy's offensive impact on the court is certainly not as good as Tony Allen's, at least not in his rookie season.
But even so.
Playing Jimmy as the sixth man and giving him plenty of ball possession off the bench will definitely help him develop faster.
With the current lineup.
The Knicks don't need any reinforcements at all. Returning next season stronger will be enough to shock the entire league!
……
After the draft.
The trading market has opened.
Major teams immediately began making moves, especially the strong teams, which were eager to further strengthen their squads.
Next season, we will take down the Knicks.
Last season, the Heat's Big Three teamed up at their peak, giving teams across the league a new approach to strengthening their rosters.
what? !
Imagine boldly: industry giants joining forces!
