Bishop of the Devil

The second pick in Richard's hands right now, if nothing else, will definitely be Milicic.

There is also a draft pick with the ninth overall pick, which is quite good. Richard is not sure how to choose it at the moment. The four biggest picks are all in the top five picks. Although the ninth overall pick is already quite good, but The value of the players at the back is definitely not as high as the first four.

If one of these four picks falls to the ninth pick, Richard will definitely be selected, but this situation seems somewhat unlikely.

In addition to the ninth pick, there is also a good fifteenth pick.

Richard recalled these two picks, and it seems that the more cost-effective choice is to choose from David West, Brother Diao, Perkins, Brazilian Lightning Barbosa, and Josh Howard. .

These people are all players between the ninth and 29th picks in the first round under normal circumstances.

There is no doubt that the most valuable of these people are David West and Josh Howard.

Although David West played soy sauce in the Warriors for two years, he was still the second-best player in the Hornets during his peak period. At his peak, he averaged more than 20+8 per game, and his strength was quite good.

And Josh Howard is another Gerald-Wallace type player. Although his defense is not as good as Gerrard, he is also a relatively good group of players at the small forward position. In terms of offensive firepower, he is even stronger than Gerrard. Some.

Such a player would normally be selected by the Mavericks with the 29th overall pick in the first round. It is naturally impossible for Richard to miss this most cost-effective player.

Even in Richard's view, excluding the first four big players, Josh Howard may be the most cost-effective among the next players.

David West may be slightly inferior to Josh Howard in this regard.

In any case, with the ninth and fifteenth picks in hand, Richard is definitely planning to use them to select David West and Josh Howard.

The reason is simple, because these two are the most cost-effective players and can fully utilize the value of these two draft picks!

As for the remaining four picks that Richard has on hand, they are actually not very valuable.

The first-round pick that came with it was only at the very bottom of the first round, so it was estimated that he would not be able to select any good players.

As for those second rounds, Richard plans to watch them live. Anyway, he knows most of the players in his mind. Even if he has no impression in his mind, he will definitely be able to recall them when he sees the draft list.

David Lee also participated in the draft this time, and Richard was quite helpless about this...

According to his plan, it is best for David Lee to participate in the draft in 2005, and then Charlotte will be able to sign David Lee.

Although David Lee is not a very strong inside player, he is still at All-Star level. In this era of lack of inside players, his value is quite good.

But now with David Lee participating in the draft early, Richard had to waste a draft pick to select him.

Fortunately, David Lee's draft pick is definitely not high. In previous predictions, he was at the bottom. Richard can almost get it with a Magic second-round pick in the middle of the second round.

…

The day of the draft was getting closer and closer. Richard glanced online, mainly to see how the outside world would comment on these rookies this year.

Almost most media say that this year is a big year for the draft, and it will definitely produce countless high-quality stars.

Richard glanced at the domestic media reports in China again. What he didn't expect was that a Chinese player would participate in the draft this year...

Xue Yuyang.

I'm afraid many fans don't know this player very well. In fact, even Richard doesn't know this player very well.

The main reason is that he has not played any games in the NBA. Although he was selected by the Dallas Mavericks at the bottom of the first round, he has never appeared on the court.

Just after being drafted by the Mavericks, he was immediately traded to the Nuggets...

A fair assessment of this player's strength should be that he is not good enough to play in the NBA.

After all, he has yet to prove his dominance in the CBA...

Later, he joined the Xinjiang team. In his peak season, he only scored 14 points and 4.8 rebounds. You must know that this is the CBA. It is no exaggeration to say that this data is really miserable for a center...

It's not that it's worse compared to CBA players, but it's worse than NBA players.

When later generations of fans mentioned Xue Yuyang, they always felt a little regretful, because the Basketball Association did not allow him to study abroad at that time, which was why he never appeared in the NBA.

But even if the Basketball Association doesn't stop him, in fact, with his strength, it will be difficult for him to show up in the NBA...

Think about Battelle, I don't know how much better than Xue Yuyang, but now with the 76ers or under the care of Dazhi, he can't get much playing time.

Domestic media watched Xue Yuyang participate in the draft and were excited again. China will have another super center appearing in the NBA.

The Pistons have quite a lot of draft picks on hand this year, and many domestic media predict that Richard may use the first-round pick on hand to select Xue Yuyang.

Richard felt that the excitement in the domestic media was a bit excessive and was just joining in the fun...

First of all, I am the head coach of a team. The starting point of doing things is the interests of the team. It is impossible to waste a draft pick on a player who knows that he cannot perform well.

Of course, if Xue Yuyang is really not picked at the end of the first round, then it is not impossible for him to waste a pick at the bottom of the first round and pick him.

After all, the bottom pick in the first round is really not very valuable. If you waste one, it will be wasted. Richard has two in his hands...

…

Richard didn't pay too much attention to the domestic hype about Xue Yuyang. He would not do anything irrational just because of the domestic media's hype.

On the contrary, it was the news from the neighboring country that made Richard dumbfounded.

A center player appeared in Bangzi Country, claiming to be a once-in-a-century super center prospect...

He is only 18 years old now, but he is playing vigorously in the Korean League. He is praised by Koreans as the person who can replace Yao Ming as the number one center in Asia in the future.

That's right, this person is He Shengzhen, nicknamed Big Hippo.

As the draft is about to begin, South Korea has also begun to hype Haseung Town. It is said that it is not yet the draft age. If you can participate in the draft after turning 19 years old, you will definitely get a good draft pick. Bit……

If this was all the hype, Richard wouldn't have anything to look down on. After all, people in Bangzi Country like to brag about themselves, and this doesn't happen in a day or two.

The layout is small, there is no way...

But what they are hyping up in China, what really makes Richard unacceptable is that they actually say that Richard is Korean.

Yes, they really said that...

The media swore that Richard was actually not of Chinese descent, but of Korean descent.

Think about it, Richard's surname is Li, which is also a common surname in Korea, so many Koreans really buy this statement.

Good guy, this is amazing. Countless Korean fans have said that they want to contact Richard and take good care of their compatriot Ha Shengzhen.

In the future, we will strive to cultivate Heshengzhen into a being like Yao Ming...

Richard was completely dumbfounded. Good guy, even his ancestors changed in the blink of an eye? Turned out to be Korean?

…

You must know that whether in the previous life or in this life, I was a Chinese with pure roots and no mixed ancestry at all.

I don’t know where these gangsters pulled out their Korean evidence, and judging by their posture, they were swearing...

…

Isn't this a joke? For a moment, Richard lost his composure.

If it continues to be passed down like this, it will definitely mean that the yellow mud is falling off the crotch. This is a fact by default, and I have to clarify it no matter what.
