Bishop of the Devil

The Knicks selected Channing Frye with the eighth pick in the first round, who is also a very good power forward.

Then the Lakers signed Bynum with the tenth pick...

In the blink of an eye, it was almost time for the Buccaneers' draft pick again, and Richard didn't have to write a note this time.

Although the Nets' draft pick was drawn by them, it actually belongs to the Suns.

During the season, the Suns traded the pick to the Buccaneers.

So Richard doesn’t have to go through so much trouble and can just choose.

"I announce that the Charlotte Buccaneers have selected Danny Granger from the University of New Mexico with the 13th overall pick!"

In terms of college data, Granger is actually no worse than the top five players, and is even better.

You must know that in his senior season at the University of New Mexico, he averaged astonishing data of more than 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game.

The first reason why he failed to enter the top five picks is his age...

He only participated in the draft after graduating from his senior year.

Secondly, the grade of the school is not too high. It is certainly not as high as the grade of famous schools like North Carolina or Wake Forest. This also makes his data look not particularly valuable.

But this is definitely a good thing for Richard. If Granger was valued, he would definitely not be able to get such a high-quality player in the middle of the first round.

Low-key, elegant and versatile, these are the labels Richard gave Granger. Watching him play is like watching Pickle play, it is always so enjoyable.

…

Chris Paul and Danny Granger have already been acquired. It can be said that Richard has gained a lot in this year's draft.

Among this year's rookies, Chris Paul is unique in terms of both league status and strength.

As for the second gear, Richard will put De Xiaopang and Granger into this gear.

The remaining players are in the third gear or outside the third gear...

Now that Richard has got two of the three best players in this draft, what else can he be dissatisfied with.

…

Subsequently, Green Kai, who held the 18th pick, directly chose Ilyasova.

Under normal circumstances, Green Kai used this draft pick to sign Gerald Green, who is often referred to as Nine-Finger Green by fans.

This guy lost two joints on his ring finger due to an incident when he was a kid.

Later, he was able to gain a foothold in the NBA and defeated Howard Howard in the dunk contest. It was actually not easy.

But if you really want to talk about strength, it is definitely not as good as Ilyasova.

If Gortat's value wasn't better, Richard would have used their second-round pick to get Ilyasova.

This is a space-based power forward with good three-point ability, and his pick-and-roll ability is also outstanding.

Under normal circumstances, he was selected by the Bucks in the second round and later became teammates with Yi Jianlian.

He can also be said to be another competitor of Yi Jianlian besides Villanueva.

Next, the Suns used their first-round pick No. 21 to select little potato Nate Robinson.

This is a small person, but small people also have their own splendor.

He has surpassed Yao Ming, defended the slam dunk title, won the dunk title three times, and is the only player whose jersey was retired by the summer league...

His career is quite legendary.

Soon, the first-round draft will be over.

The Buccaneers hold the No. 1 pick in the second round, and now it’s time to make their selection...

Speaking of which, Richard actually felt a little reluctant to give up. He directly used the first pick of the second round to select Gortat, who would normally be the 57th pick. He felt a bit disadvantaged.

The best way is to use this second-round pick, which is worth almost the same as the middle and late first round, to exchange for two late second-round picks.

In this way, Richard can not only get Gortat, but also get a good role player.

But Richard thought about it and realized that these players were really useless to bring into the team, and he didn't have that much energy to train them. Rather than delaying others like this, it would be better to let them go and let others develop normally.

"I announce that the Charlotte Pirates have selected Marcin Gortat from Lodz Province, Poland, with the first pick of the second round."

Since it was the second round of the draft, Xiao Hua came out to announce the results this time.

Many teams at the scene nodded. Let's just say, how could someone like Richard, who prefers big players, not pick a big man in the draft.

After acquiring Gortat, Richard's work in this draft is basically over.

Although the No. 1 pick in this draft is a center, he is actually a point guard in his prime.

Among all rookies, there are only two reliable players at the center position, Bogut and Gortat.

Gortat's strength, if you really want to talk about it, is definitely not as good as Bogut.

But the gap is not that big as expected. Once Richard trains Bogut properly, he will definitely be able to sell it at a good price.

Center players are too scarce, which also leads to the fact that once Gortat is developed, his value will be far more than that of a backcourt player.

Of course, what is scarce are high-quality centers, big centers with rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs. You can grab a lot of them at will.

…

Subsequently, the Nets got Amir Johnson in the second round, and Green Kai chose Luwei instead of Monta Ellis.

Ellis was still selected by the Warriors.

Since then, this draft has completely come to an end.

…

Early the next morning, Richard met with Stotts of the Bucks and held a press conference.

This press conference is naturally to announce the Bogut transaction.

Bogut was dumbfounded. What if he promised to become a super rookie insider like Yao Ming?

How did he manage to be sold to the Bucks?

With the Bucks' scummy lineup, how can I compare myself to Yao Ming...

When he learned the news, Bogut went crazy. He never imagined that Richard would be willing to sell himself.

Doesn't he like big players the most?

The other protagonist of this deal, Chris Paul, is extremely happy.

The Buccaneers currently have only one point guard, Payton Sr.

After he joined the Pirates, not to mention anything else, just in terms of playing time, it must be enough.

There is absolutely no need to worry about your playing time...

Even if his performance is not satisfactory, Richard can only bite the bullet and use himself when no one is available.

Because Richard has no other choice...

In this case, Paul feels that his luck is really good. At least his career has a good start.

…

As soon as the press conference ended, Richard asked Cowens to inform the three boys to report to the team one week before the start of the summer league.

In the coming offseason, there is no doubt that the newcomers in the team will have a hard time, because Richard has made up his mind to train them in hell this offseason.
