Chapter 654 The 2011 NBA Draft!(2/2)
They believe that Irving will lead the city of Cleveland out of the quagmire and towards glory!
There is no suspense for the Cavaliers' choice, but the second pick is more suspenseful.
The Nuggets' "luck" is also quite good. In the first season after James left, they won the second pick.
After five minutes of waiting time, Sun Hao also put himself in the draft.
In his sense, the Nuggets will most likely choose Derek Williams.
Because Williams' draft template is James!
After leaving James, we will naturally have a new "James"!
Williams' performance at the University is quite impressive. He averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in his sophomore season, and led the team to the Elite Eight.
And more importantly, he has key ball performances in every game of Crazy Three and has great heart ability.
As it turns out, Sun Hao’s guess is also correct.
Five minutes later, Stern announced the Nuggets' choice: Derek Williams.
In history, Williams failed to make his own worth and became a typical representative of "no matter how much he is."
However, one thing that cannot be ignored here is that the place he went to is Minnesota, and the Timberwolves are known as the "rookie grave."
I don’t know how many rookies have been ruined in that place in history.
It is unlikely that Denver will usher in the next James, but the next All-Star is not completely impossible.
After the Nuggets, the Jazz took Turkish Kant with the Titan Lottery, which is the same as in history.
The fourth pick of Houston chose Lithuanian MVP, center Valanciunas of 2.13 meters.
Jeremy Lin performed well in Houston last season and became one of the representatives of counterattacks.
The Houstonian, who has been silent for countless seasons, has begun to get restless again.
The result of the restlessness is that they have started their journey of choosing an inside line again.
The Nets, who were fifth picks, also chose Durant's alumnus, inside defensive monster Tristan Thompson.
The Timberwolves, the sixth pick, chose Jane Viselli, who is from the Czech Republic and has the city of "Czech Republic Easy".
Weisselli's style of playing is very similar to Yi Jianlian, but what really makes people remember this talent show is his kiss with his beautiful girlfriend before going on stage.
At that moment, I was envious of others.
The Hornets, who ranked seventh, chose "Uncle Mu's second generation" Bismarck Biyongbo.
The Lakers, who were ranked eighth, chose Brandon Knight!
This choice of the Lakers is worth paying attention to.
Since Sun Hao left the team, the Lakers have been in a slump.
After Phil Jackson left office, the power vortex of Jenny Buss and Jim Buss, and the deteriorating body of Old Buss made the Lakers look like a complete hero in their twilight years.
The glory of the past is still hanging in the arena, but it seems to have become a memory that cannot be returned.
So this time, they also chose a dual-energy guard.
Knight is definitely not an unknown person in the NCAA. He contributed two finals in March Madness, and his big heart ability is even better than Derek Williams.
And what is more impressive than the big heart is his desire to win.
The most direct manifestation is that in the game, most players will choose to give up defense after being shaken away and know that there is no hope of defense.
But Knight is one of the rare players who will rush forward even if he knows that he can't help but rush forward.
His arm span is particularly outstanding, which also makes his desperate efforts very effective in many cases.
Sun Hao was also a little relieved when he saw the Lakers' choice.
Knight's talent is actually very good. He averaged 17+ points per game in the third and fourth year of his career.
But what is most puzzling is that he has trained his Bucks and traded him away when he was in his best condition...
Although Knight averaged nearly 20 points per game with the Suns, he stepped into the ranks of top defenders with one foot.
But the injury directly ruined the hard-working player.
The fans who know Knight have no regrets.
The defender who was remembered by fans the most was dunked by Jordan. He was really hardworking just like his performance in college.
As the fans later said, it is a pity to be blocked as a background board, but in that case, the only defender who dares to rush up to defend is probably Brandon Knight!
Now that we are in the Lakers, we are in a mess, I believe Knight will have a very good career journey.
The Lakers are followed by the Bucks.
"The Milwaukee Bucks chose the ninth pick in the first round of the NBA Draft in 2011... Klay Thompson, 1.98-meter-long shooting guard from Washington State University."
When Sun Hao heard this, he was shocked.
When the Raptors were finally confirmed to be the No. 11 pick, what he, as a time traveler, naturally thought of was whether the Warriors would choose Clay Thompson.
It's hard to make this signing position happen or not.
So although he did not participate, his curiosity was constantly strengthening as the draft progressed.
But what was a bit surprising was that Thompson was intercepted!
Although this is indeed reasonable.
Because with the advent of the small ball era and the death five little big fires, the popularity of 3D players like Thompson will definitely increase.
Although the difference between Nine and Eleven is not big, it is still considered the top ten picks.
The Bucks are followed by the Kings.
The Kings' choices are the same as in history. They chose the college sharpshooter with the No. 10 draw, Fredette, the "lonely god" who created countless NCAA three-point records.
Then, the Warriors' eleventh pick is on the way.
Because Thompson has been selected, there is a lot of uncertainty about the Warriors' choice.
Among the remaining people, Kemba Walker must be the most favored one.
But the Warriors are unlikely to make this choice because the team does not have room for Walker.
It is hard to say that the one that comes later may be the Greater Morris among the Morris brothers.
Because Landry's contract expires this summer, the Warriors may not be able to stay, and it is very appropriate to choose Morris as a substitute.
Of course, it may be Vucevic, and he chose to be the substitute for Oden.
Or, if you can't choose Thompson, choose a Thompson replacement, Leonard.
Leonard has excellent defense and his offense is relatively rough, but his dynamic physical talent is good and he can definitely practice it.
Sun Hao thought that if the Warriors chose Leonard, the league might really be in the finale.
Just this is the eleventh time that Stern walked from behind the scenes to the front stage.
Chapter completed!
