Guard With a Knife

There is no doubt that Russell Westbrook is most looking forward to the upcoming finals, and he can't wait to show his edge.

After eliminating the University of Memphis, his draft pick has been firmly in the top five, and ESPN even ranked him third. He is the only point guard in the NCAA who did not lose against Derrick Rose this season, and even won the victory in the end. This is a compliment, saying that he has the courage to undertake the last attack and has the potential to be a killer! Example: Kobe Bryant.

Actually, except for Russell Westbrook. Kevin Love's pick also entered the top eight for the first time, and Luke Mbah a Moute is also hovering in the lottery area.

As for Doug, his pick has risen to around 22nd in the first round.

For NBA teams, there are too many uncertainties in him, and the advantages he has shown may not necessarily be popular in the NBA. That's what's holding him back from entering the lottery. (PS: The lottery area is the top fourteen)

During lunch, Russell Westbrook mysteriously took Duger to the western restaurant outside the court, and then grandly introduced his agent Sam Fucher to him.

Sam Fucher was a tall, white man in his fifties.

"Hello, Snoopy. I am your senior, and I also graduated from the Anderson School of Business." Sam Fucher extended his hand to Snoopy kindly, and introduced himself: "I am working for WMG (Watt Thurman Media Group), our main business is rugby, basketball, golf, baseball and football. Our contract transaction volume last year was 2.73 billion US dollars, and the commission was 116 million. It is second only to CAA and RS, ranking the world third."

Sam Fucher's introduction immediately let Snoopy know his intention: "So... are you trying to poach me to work at WMG?"

"Hahahaha." Sam Fucher laughed heartily: "You are so interesting."

"OK, let's talk about something serious." Snoopy stopped joking and asked seriously, "Why did you come to me?"

"I and my company think you're going to be an elite player, and that you're going to be able to leverage a business that's way beyond other star players or even superstars. There's a huge market behind you that every agency is fascinated by, and you The qualities that emanate from you are not found in ordinary players, you are a complex of contradictions, with fascinating contrasts. You are naturally suitable for Vanity Fair!"

Sam Fucher said earnestly the compliments.

Snoopy was not overwhelmed by these praises, he just continued to ask: "Under your operation, what kind of draft pick do you think I can get? Also, do you think it is appropriate for me to participate in the draft this year, or should I wait?" Play a year in the NCAA."

Snoopy asked substantive questions.

Not unprepared, Sam Fucher pulled a thick file from his briefcase and said, "This is what we announced through your performance on the field and in Saturday's special edition of the Orange County Register. The analysis report derived from the relevant data."

He handed the report to Doug and continued: "You have improved significantly in just two months. This improvement peaked in the last game. When blocking Derrick Rose, your turn and lateral movement were amazing. I guess . . . you've got enough to give Kansas bigs a hard time in the paint this game."

"As for the draft pick, I can't give you an exact guarantee until the results of the lottery come out. But I can promise that your pick will never fall out of the top 20, and I can help you get a lottery pick. rookie contract."

"As for the draft time, of course it is this year. The NBA doesn't completely value immediate combat power, sometimes potential is more important. At present, your potential value can even be said to be the largest among the rookies this year, which gives the NBA unlimited room for imagination.

"

"And stay in the NCAA for another year, and the room for your imagination will be reduced. If you improve rapidly during this year, you may get a lottery position. But what if you don't improve rapidly?"

"Also, I don't think the trainers in China will be more professional than in the NBA. You can get more professional training in the NBA, even if you can't play. The team's competition will be a hundred times more valuable than the NCAA game."

Dug nodded. Sam Fucher was indeed professional, and his analysis made sense.

So, he stretched out his hand and said, "Are you sure you don't want to recruit me into WMG?"

Sam Fucher didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Doug replied, "Thank you for all the desk work you do for me. However, you also know the honors I have received at Anderson College. If I could just hand over all the business aspects of work to you, then, every day Staring at the bank account number, my mentor Mr. Nelson will definitely use his crutches to slap my ass hard. I can't give up my own professional knowledge just because I play basketball. It will make the school give me a full scholarship and the principal The special award seemed pointless."

"I hope the seniors can understand."

Doug was very polite.

Sam Fucher was convinced by this reason. Instead of becoming angry because of being rejected, he showed a smile on his face: "As a senior, I understand and agree with your thoughts. If you need any help, please call me anytime."

"In case you don't know, I was actually one of Professor Nelson's first students. He had just finished his graduate studies at Harvard, and then he got an associate professorship. We got along like real friends. To be honest, I Miss the heather in his backyard, which we planted with our own hands."

Snoopy's eyes widened: "So... you planted those things full of essence?"

When he said this, he was full of resentment. Every time he helped Professor Nelson repair the garden, he would always slander in his heart. He never expected that the "instigator" would stand in front of him today.

Afterwards, the two brothers had a talk on those interesting things about Mr. Nelson.

This made Russell next to him at a loss, and he seemed like an outsider instead.

...

After meeting with Sam Fucher, Kevin Love also introduced his agent Jeff Schwartz to Doug in the afternoon. He comes from ESM Company, Excellent Sports Management, the seventh largest sports agency in the world.

Jeff Schwartz and his company also had a strong interest in Doug, but the puppy still chose to decline.

He does not intend to hire brokers from these well-known companies, he wants to try his own ability. Of course, in the future, he does not rule out poaching one or two brokers from these great brokerage companies, and then set about building his own brokerage team.

After meeting with the agents of the two roommates, Snoopy got his first real taste of business from the NBA.

The professional basketball world is getting closer and closer to him!
