One hundred.10 Rookie Point Guards!

Bill Duffy has had mixed feelings lately.

The good news is that Zach Randolph got a big contract with the Grizzlies, and Evans showed in the preseason that he can be the core of a team, that is, he has super combat power.

But another first-round pick, which happened to be the team in Bill Duffy's city today, the No. 14 pick of the Suns, almost couldn't play in the preseason.

It's a lottery show! For any brokerage company, losing a lottery show is a huge loss.

Fortunately, Sun Ce's development trend is not bad, and he got a stable playing time early.

After leaving Sun Ce's room, Bill Duffy did not leave the hotel immediately, but came to the room of Warriors head coach Don Nelson.

something to talk about...

...

...

"Cheers..." Five first- and second-year players drank soda water instead of alcohol.

Sun Ce, Curry, Morrow, Randolph, Hunter, five teammates who have known each other since the summer league had dinner together.

There is good news today, Hunter got a one-year non-guaranteed contract of $510,000! Before November 28, if the Warriors do not waive Hunter, this contract will become a guaranteed contract.

At this point, the summer league five-man team has contracts.

Sun Ce asked John to help book a restaurant. After completing the afternoon training goal, he called a few friends to have a meal together.

Several teammates are young people, Hunter has also got the contract, chattering and discussing, Sun Ce is very tired and sleepy, it is okay to sit and eat, to replenish energy, so as not to lack energy when going to sleep at night to recover.

It's a full game, Sun Ce has been working with these four teammates who have been on the court for the longest time for a month, and it's a month when there is time for games. It can be regarded as a small group of non-core players like them.

Of course, Curry was trained by the Warriors management as a core player, but he prefers to be in this circle, with similar age and more topics.

...

I don’t drink alcohol, I can eat occasionally, and there will be a game tomorrow. The young players are still very conscious.

After dinner, return to the hotel.

After taking a nap, on the morning of the 19th, Sun Ce woke up energetically and went to the gym for a morning run.

Not long after, Ellis came too.

Seeing Sun Ce come to the gym to exercise early in the morning again, he was obviously as tired as a dog panting after training yesterday afternoon, and now he is alive and well...

When is it a head!

Ellis didn't want to admit defeat in training, so he has been paying attention to Sun Ce. When Sun Ce starts training, he will practice. After Sun Ce finishes training, he will practice for a while before finishing.

But... now Ellis is a little scared...

This guy is simply inhuman!

"Should I discuss with this kid so that he can slow down his training? This will hurt his body!" Ellis refused to admit that he would lose in training, and he felt that he was worried that this rookie would practice too hard and get injured. .

Thinking of Ellis's firm nod, maybe he was giving himself a psychological hint, but he still didn't want to admit that he couldn't hold on anymore.

It is true that with Ellis' physical strength and physical fitness, Sun Ce can do twice the amount of training, but exercise requires rest time to stop the wear and tear of muscles and cartilage. If you follow Sun Ce to practice like this, Rao Ellis The amount of training performed did not reach the maximum amount of training, but I came every day, and I really couldn't bear it.

After a wave of self-suggestion, Ellis decided that if Sun Ce had to practice more after tonight's game, he would remind this kid.

Don't mess with your body.

"This is my love for rookies, yes, it's love." After hinting to himself repeatedly, Ellis felt a lot happier, and continued his happy morning run...

...

...

After the morning run, Sun Ce went back to his room to take a shower, had breakfast after a short rest, and then attended the team meeting.

After the lunch break, Sun Ce didn't go to practice because there was a game tonight against the Suns...

In the afternoon, I followed the team to the American West Arena. When I came to this arena again, Sun Ce felt very complicated.

At first, he thought he would stay with the Suns, and his goal was to replace Dragic, but unfortunately, the Suns never thought about keeping him.

But today is different!

Halfway through the preseason, plus the previous summer league, when Sun Ce and Curry had lunch together at noon today, they were pleasantly surprised to see the latest news announced by Time Warner Cable.

Time Warner's Sports Illustrated made a special feature for this season's rookies: "Top Ten New Powers of Point Guards."

Sun Ce doesn't know how to complain about the fact that Americans love to talk about "power" in everything.

But I was pleasantly surprised that he became one of the top ten point guards compiled by Sports Illustrated this year!

The first place is Tyreke - Evans, there is no suspense.

The second place is James Harden, and this is well deserved. He performed extremely well in the summer league and preseason, but he was not lucky. The team already had a starting point guard. Shaken, the outside trio of Westbrook, Sefrosa, and Durant has already occupied the starting position.

On the contrary, Stephen Curry, who is ranked third among the top ten rookie point guards, is more optimistic. According to Curry's preseason average of 19.6 points per game, it is certain that the regular season will decline, but it must be better than Harden. Have more playing time.

The fourth is Brandon Jennings, the fifth is Jonny Flynn, and the sixth is Ricky Rubio... After being selected, one may have to play in Europe for two or three years and his contract expires The talented rookie is still ranked sixth.

The seventh is Ty Lawson, the eighth is Jrue Holiday, and the ninth is Tony Douglas.

The top nine are all first-round picks.

Only the tenth place is the second round pick!

Relying on the assists leader in the summer league and his relatively good performance in the preseason, Sun Ce advanced into the ranks of the top ten rookie point guards!

This is tantamount to another huge blow for the Suns...

They also drafted a point guard, and the template for the 14th pick was Lamar Odom's lottery pick Earl Clark.

And Earl Clark, his performance in the summer league was terrible, and his performance in the preseason was even worse... In the first preseason game, he shot 1 of 11 from the field. The Suns thought that after a summer, Earl Clark With his talent, he will definitely improve, and as a result, he shot 9% of his shots in the first game when he was reused.

On the contrary, Sun Ce already has a stable playing time in the Warriors!

As Bill Duffy said, Sun Ce did not play as many games as in the second game, but he was very stable, which made some professional basketball players in China very happy!

Apart from Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, this is the first player who has a stable playing time on an NBA team.

It is also this stable playing time that makes Sun Ce one of the top ten rookie point guards.

It is very simple to be selected for this list. He is a rookie and a point guard, and he is expected to have a stable playing time.

Among the rookies selected in 2009, there are more than 20 point guards or combo guards, but it is predicted that they will have stable playing time and may become starters, just 10!
