Four Hundred and Thirty. Let's Choose Another Guy!

Chris Wallace called Coach Hollins and explained Sun Ce's request.

Chris Wallace discussed with Coach Hollins. Anyway, this draft pick is free, so let's choose the immediate combat power!

Coach Hollins was discussing, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Noah is really smart..."

"Yes, Noah is very confident in his talent and the strength of Mark and Zach. I ignored this at first, thinking that we were piling up talents, but I didn't expect that the best talents were already on our team..." Ke Reece Wallace also sighed.

If it was put before the start of the 2009-10 season, they would definitely choose the potential. At that time, the expectation was that they would be enough to win 40+ games in the 09-10 season. There is a lower limit for talent, but the upper limit is also obvious. There is no top talent. outside players.

Gay has enough physical talent and good skills, but his style of play is very special, and he refuses to go inside if he dies in a battle.

But now it’s different, now it’s the second round, Randolph + Gasol + Sun Ce, the talent is enough, Randolph can be regarded as a superstar on the offensive end, Gasol has become a top defensive support insider potential, especially with Sun Ce, a talented outside player.

Sun Ce's improvement is responsible for raising the upper limit in the future; the 29-year-old Randolph is estimated to have 4 to 5 years of his peak period according to his style of play, and the 25-year-old Gasol may have a golden period of 6 to 9 years. The inside line is responsible for the strength of the team offline, and the core structure is already perfect.

To build a lineup around the three, it is more important to have more capable role players and achieve better results.

Hearing what Chris Wallace said, Coach Hollins said subconsciously: "I didn't mean this..."

Coach Hollins said this and stopped to discuss this topic. There are some things that only players understand. As a former top player, although Coach Hollins didn't understand it immediately, he has now discovered that Sun Ce's request is deeper. level of meaning.

But since Chris Wallace didn't notice, Coach Hollins didn't say anything, and asked, "So Chris, have you decided who to pick with the No. 6 pick?"

"No, Lionel, help me choose together." Chris Wallace decisively pulled Coach Hollins into the water.

How can you be the only one who suffers from pain?

Let's all fuck up together!

"...I knew it was like this!" Coach Hollins really felt pain.

He just said that it doesn't make any difference whether we discuss such things with him or not, because this is a very legitimate request.

Moreover, this is related to Sun Ce's contract renewal, and this reasonable request must be met.

Now, the Grizzlies are facing a very troublesome problem, that is, Sun Ce's rookie contract is only two years!

In other words, the Grizzlies did not have bird rights during Sun Ce's contract year, and they would not be able to renew Sun Ce's contract in advance next season.

They only have the right of early bird. Obviously there is more than 21 million space left this summer, but they can only wait until Sun Ce's contract expires and becomes a restricted free agent before he can renew his contract.

If they still have space during the offseason next season, it's okay to say that they can just renew their contract directly, but they will renew their contract with Gay this summer...and they have to strengthen it!

After signing the free agent who should be signed, he completed the contract extension with Birdy Guy, which must be over the cap.

Not to renew the contract with Gay? That's even more impossible. Gay was only a sophomore in the 2007-08 season, and he averaged 20 points per game. Any team would give him a contract worth more than 10 million yuan.

And it works great! Good defense, fast counterattack, and good outside singles jumper. It will take a few years to re-cultivate another one, and whether it can cultivate a potential stock that can average 20 points per game is still open to question, like the 2003 generation. , There are only a handful of players averaging 20+ per game.

Thinking of the two-year rookie contract, Chris Wallace and coach Hollins don't know what the Warriors are thinking. According to the new labor agreement in 2006, if Chris Wallace gave the potential second-round pick contract by himself, he would definitely 1+1+1 will be given, guarantee in the first year, partial guarantee in the second year and implementation of the guarantee contract in the third year after the second year,

For example, what was given to Gasol was 2+1 partial guarantee in the second year plus full guarantee in the third year after the execution of the contract in the second year, a total of 9.81 million dollars in three years.

This may be the largest second-round contract in history so far. How big is Gasol's contract? It's the same as Mike Conley's first three-year contract with the No. 4 pick.

But the matter has come to this point, so to meet Sun Ce's small request must be satisfied, Sun Ce's ideas are very important, they can't make Sun Ce feel dissatisfied, this is very important.

But the No. 6 pick can't be chosen randomly. Coach Hollins knew that Chris Wallace had a headache, so he called him to suffer together.

Glancing at Chris Wallace resentfully, Coach Hollins asked helplessly: "Chris, do you have a general candidate? I don't have much information here, and I'm contacting free agents these days."

Although there are also concerns, Coach Hollins is not responsible for this aspect, because the goal of the draft at the beginning is very clear, thinking about stacking talents and betting on character.

In terms of contacting free agents... Although the league's regulations are that they cannot contact players from other teams who have contracts, they generally don't care about expiring contracts.

"Yes, I have five candidates here. We have two first-round picks, the No. 6 pick and the No. 22 pick. I think it can supplement the outside line." Chris Wallace began to flip through the four first-round picks in his impression. Information about outsiders at the round level, as well as the very excited but worried player I saw just now.

Coach Hollins asked while receiving the trial training materials that Chris Wallace handed over continuously: "Outside? Don't we fill the strong forward position?"

"I already have a trade candidate for the power forward position, and maybe someone who can make Noah feel more belonging to our team." Chris Wallace responded.

"Oh... good." Coach Hollins didn't continue to ask, Chris Wallace is good enough, he doesn't need to worry too much, because he is not as capable as Chris Wallace in this regard.

Coach Hollins began to look at the five draft reports in his hand.

"Graves Vazquez, a senior from the University of Maryland, 23 years old, 198 cm tall, point guard.

Strengths: Excellent passing, excellent outside shooting ability, aggressive defense. Disadvantages: No explosive power, lack of breakthrough ability, lack of lateral movement ability.

Draft predictions: 21st to 30th pick in the first round.

Draft template: Jose Calderon. "

After reading Vazquez's basic introduction, Coach Hollins opened the university resume.

Second in scoring and second in assists in the history of the University of Maryland... Overall, it's not bad, and Coach Hollins thinks it's okay to be selected as the third point guard with the 22nd pick.

"Jordan Crawford, a junior at Xavier University, participated in the draft early, 22 years old, 193 cm tall, point guard and small forward.

Advantages: Excellent shooting ability, excellent running and jumping ability, good passing vision, tough style of play. Disadvantages: Thin body, unable to undertake defense at the small forward position.

Draft predictions: Picks 8 to 14 in the first round.

Draft template: Adam Morrison. "

This draft template... Coach Hollins looked at it and didn't know what to say. .

"Al-Aminu, a sophomore at Wake Forest University, participated in the draft early, 20 years old, 206 cm tall, small forward.

Advantages: top physical fitness, excellent defensive awareness, top secondary offensive ability, experience in the national team... Disadvantages: no independent offensive ability, no shooting ability.

Draft predictions: Picks 8 to 14 in the first round..."

What attracted the attention of Coach Hollins most in this report was not the extreme pros and cons, nor the detailed information behind it, but the labeling...Nigerian royals...

"What kind of basketball does this kind of person play!" Coach Hollins couldn't help complaining.

But in any draft year, if you can pick a player with the best defensive player potential ... or even the potential of the first and second defense in the 8th to 14th picks, you will make a lot of money.

last one.

"Paul George, a sophomore at Fresno State University, entered the draft early, 20 years old, 206 cm tall, shooting guard.

Advantages: Top physical fitness, excellent running and jumping ability, excellent defensive awareness, excellent fixed-point three-pointers, and excellent free throws. Disadvantages: Poor ball-holding ability, lack of offensive rebounding ability that the same height should have, high turnover rate.

Draft predictions: 14th to 20th pick in the first round.

Draft template: Rudy Gay. "

Another player who played at least two years in college. Coach Hollins made sure that Chris Wallace had carefully screened, and finally kept these five players who wanted to be drafted.

These are all predictions for players after the 8th pick in the first round. In the small year of the draft in 2010, from the top 8th pick to the 20th pick in the first round, they are basically the immediate combat power in the eyes of scouts, media and fans. .

After the 20th pick, they are basically players who are predicted not to be able to stay in the NBA. After all, 60 rookies are selected every year. There are often rookies of some years who have played for two or three years, and there are only a few players left in that year. You can continue to play in the NBA when you reach 10.

It's brutal, it's reality.

The five players selected by Chris Wallace are all rookies who have played in college for at least two years, that is, they are all immediate combat power types.

Outside players are different from inside players. There are fewer and fewer inside players who have trained their skills in college. On the contrary, outside players have become quite mature after playing in college for two or three years.

In fact, Coach Hollins has heard more or less about these players. After all, he is predicting the players in the early and middle stages of the first round. The exposure rate in the past year has been good. Very good player.

Coach Hollins checked the detailed information of Paul George. He averaged 16.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game in his sophomore year. Compared with his freshman year, he has almost changed. Since Fresno State University has no further possibility in NCAA, he chooses In order to participate in the draft in advance.

Like Chris Wallace, Coach Hollins' eye was immediately drawn to Paul George, Fresno State's tall defensive shooting guard.

No way, who said that this guy's template is Guy!

Template Guy stands for Sun Ce! With fixed-point three-pointers and excellent running and jumping skills, these two points are suitable for partnering with Sun Ce to fight, run and bomb.

But it's not just Paul George who is suitable for Sun Ce, Aminu and Hayward are all suitable players for Sun Ce to a certain extent.

Hayward can run, jump, shoot and attack with the ball, but his defense is poor; Aminu can run, jump and defend, but he doesn't shoot.

Paul George also has flaws, that is, poor ball-handling ability, high turnover rate, and poor offensive rebounding ability... This is too similar to Gay, and it will make people think that he is afraid of inside confrontation like Gay.

The three players are not so perfect, but they are all suitable for Sun Ce. After reading the scouting report, Coach Hollins learned about Chris Wallace's struggles...

Seeing the expectant eyes of Chris Wallace, the general manager with difficult choices...

Too much trouble! They had already started to make some preparations for the draft in March. At that time, they were only preparing for the 22nd pick, because they had already determined that they would not get the first round pick of the Warriors. They thought that only the 22nd pick was available. A third point guard will do.

Who knew that the Warriors were determined to postpone the draft for one year for Kemba Walker and gave them the No. 6 pick.

It was more than a month before the draft was given to them. They never expected to get the draft pick at this position, so they almost prepared from scratch, with many trial trainings, and no other team's trial preparations were perfect!

Like Coach Hollins, after the Finals, he still had to rely on his connections as a top star to contact the agents of major free agents and ask them if they wanted to work with Sun Ce, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. Three people play...

So the draft is in charge of Chris Wallace. Chris Wallace's initial goal is to bet on potential.

But now I want to gamble on my potential with the No. 6 pick, and I am afraid that Sun Ce will not be happy.

After finally picking out rookies who can serve as immediate combat power, there are as many as three more! Each has its own advantages but also has obvious disadvantages.

Coach Hollins asked tentatively, "How about we choose another guy?"

"Okay! Lionel, your suggestion is very good, we will choose another Guy." Chris Wallace made a decision.

"Watt?" Coach Hollins was a little confused, isn't that the way to throw the blame?

This is the No. 6 pick in the first round, not the No. 6 pick in the second round! Are you right?

Without looking at Coach Hollins' expression of wanting to eat people, Chris Wallace continued: "Vazquez is selected with the 22nd pick. We have enough guards and small forwards. The second-round pick I am going to use it for trading..."
