Super Lord of the Rings

The 2013 draft was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The Cavaliers selected shooting guard Victor Oladipo with the No. 1 pick.

This is a big upset. In view of the fact that today's basketball is more data-oriented and has a crazy obsession with players with high statistics, this makes traditional defensive players particularly valuable. Oladipo is a very rare defensive perimeter tank.

He is 193cm tall and weighs 97kg. He is modeled after Tony Allen. He has super physical fitness and is at the dunk contest level. In his junior season, he averaged only 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

His statistics were chosen as the No. 1 pick entirely because the Cavaliers have Cousins, Varejao, and Thompson. They no longer need potential insiders, and they can't cultivate them if they are selected.

The Magic selected "Akagi" Nerlens Noel with the second pick.

After sending away Howard, the Magic only have the weak Hawes and "Big Baby" Glen Davis at center. They are in urgent need of an inside man who can defend and block shots.

Noel is more explosive than the Pelicans' "Thick Eyebrows" and has a stronger ability to block the ball holder than the "Thick Eyebrows" of the Pelicans. He will be a good defensive player.

However, he may also become the next "The Great" Oden. There are hidden dangers of injury, and the Magic management is willing to bet on his talent.

The Wizards selected 203cm forward Otto Porter, an all-around small forward with an outstanding wingspan of 216cm. He is nicknamed "Big Picture" because people familiar with him said they have never seen Porter panic.

The Bobcats, who changed their name to the "Hornets", selected short insider Anthony Bennett with the fourth pick. As predicted before the game, another high-ranking rookie was selected by Jordan.

Van Gundy, who was live broadcasting the draft, couldn't help but tease the Bobcats. "Why is it always you? Aren't there enough high-draft players to save you?"

As a freshman, Bennett's offensive prowess is already at a level that is difficult to defend in college basketball. His physical condition is good. Although his height of 201cm is very disadvantageous in the fourth position, his 216cm wingspan, broad shoulders, huge hands and strong strength allow him to score a lot of points.

Bennett is the dominant player in the paint area in the NCAA. 70% of his points come from the inside, and he can really get what he wants inside. He likes to attack on the right side of the basket, and 60% of his attacks are layups or layups. Dunk completed. He dunked 42 times this season, the most in the league. And he also has a good three-point shooting ability. He has made 23 three-pointers this season, averaging one per game, with a shooting percentage of 40%.

After seeing Bennett’s situation,

Jordan feels that this is a more obedient, solid space player who can play a role in the system.

The Suns selected 216CM insider Alex Len with the fifth pick. A Ukrainian who received an American basketball education and has an orthodox European inside body.

The Timberwolves selected Ben McLemore with the sixth overall pick.

Minnesota is a bitter cold place, but it is good news for McLemore, because the Wolves lack scorers, a group of blue-collar workers on the inside, and the Spanish golden boy "Lu Yizhong" on the outside. He just needs to prove he can hit more than two field goals per game to get a lot of playing time.

He was once evaluated by scouts as "having the physical talent and shooting touch of Ray Allen" and was predicted to be the No. 1 pick. Falling to the seventh pick would be a big upset.

The eighth pick is also an upset. The Mavericks selected 213CM center Cody Zeller. The template is Aldridge. He has height and athletic ability, can make mid-range shots, and is predicted to be in the top five.

Cuban was very happy and didn't want to renew the contract with the slow Kaman.

The Jazz selected 185CM point guard Trey Burke with the ninth pick.

Seeing this, Wang Jun wanted to change the channel, but he wanted to know who the Kings would select in the first round, so he continued to watch.

The Trail Blazers selected CJ McCrum with the 10th pick.

Pelicans 11th guard Michael Carter-Williams.

The Thunder wanted to trade the 12th and 29th picks with Cole Aldridge for the top five picks, but it was clear that Presti was insulting the intelligence of all his peers. Therefore, he had no choice but to select center Adams with the 12th overall pick.

This is to be expected. The 213cm, 116kg giant is obviously used as a human shield. The Thunder are ready to move LaMarcus Aldridge.

The Lakers' draft picks were given away, and they had no choice.

The Knicks selected Tim Hardaway II, the son of "Beatle" Hardaway.

The Nets drafted small forward Reggie Bullock.

The Clippers selected a white big man, Mason Plumlee. There were rumors before that they were planning to take down Yao Ming and choose a big man to take his place.

At No. 30, the Kings selected Serbian point guard Nedovic, who is 191cm tall, weighs 87kg and has a good figure.

The Kings have no shortage of point guards at all, so it would be a waste to have him come on the bench.

The Kings' second-round pick was given to the Pacers, who selected 212CM white inside man Colton Iverson.

American media said this may be the weakest draft in the past 15 years. Therefore, when the first round of the draft ended, there were 10 transactions in the league.

The Grizzlies traded Arthur for Kufus. Wang Jun's first reaction was that the Grizzlies will be blunter, thicker, and as hard as a wall next season. Then when the opponent picks and rolls, they are like a wall, motionless.

The Nuggets management has gone crazy and is showing off its brains. The only solid big man in the starting lineup is gone, and all five starters next season will play fast break. The dinner table is full of fatty Peking duck, without the only white dough to wrap it.

This kind of Nuggets is closer to the Nuggets in the fans' impression, running like wild birds and cheetahs and antelopes in the primitive jungle.

However, since the Nuggets want to play fast break, why did they fire Karl and replace him with Brian Shaw who plays the triangle offense?

This just cheapened the king.

The Kings made a trade with the Nuggets, and Nedovic added some cash in exchange for 24-year-old rookie Rudy Gobert.

Wang Jun was delighted. Gobert's athletic talent and physical fitness were unforgettable. The currently active wingspan of 235cm and height of 216cm both have huge potential. Why did the Nuggets give such an insider beauty to the Kings?

He immediately called Swann. "How did you do it? This transaction feels completely unfair."

Swann smiled and said: "It was my idea. It's very simple. I analyze the team's psychology."

"What's the psychology?"

"The Nuggets have been tepid in the first round for many years, and something must change. So the coaching staff fired Karl, Ujiri, and brought in Brian Shaw. The Nuggets have McGee and Mozgov. The two major centers and even Koufos have been sent away. There is definitely no need for this older Frenchman who only has potential. He is 21 years old." Swann said proudly.

"In other words, this is a temporary deal? No wonder you didn't notify me."

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Originally, Petry was going to choose an inside job and make a lot of money. Haha."

Elton Brand is not planning to renew his contract with the Kings this summer.

He has a ring and no regrets. He wants to play in the East and strive for a higher annual salary. His performance last season can give him extra points. The Kings need a big man to fill the void left by him.

This may not be good news for Gobert. 80% of the starting center is Vucevic, and a veteran may join the Kings in the summer. Whiteside is also very talented, but he has never had a chance to play.
