Chapter 1250 1249. I chose him because his hands are as big as mine (210 please vote for me)

Calderon now occasionally plays when Liu Mang is resting. Most of the time he plays the shooting guard position. He is tall enough to be a pitcher, but his speed... The Eagles want to play fast, but he is a player with his own characteristics. A rhythmic point guard with a core style of play. The stronger he is, the more prominent this point becomes.

As for Rondo and Lowry, Liu Mang knows the characteristics of these two point guards better than anyone else. Both of them seem to have flaws now, but Liu Mang knows how good they will be in the future. One is early, starting from the second grade. He was able to serve as a ball handler for a team with the Big Three from the beginning, was selected to the All-Defensive Team in his third year, and was selected as an All-Star in his fourth year. The other one has accumulated a lot of experience and became the core of the team at the age of 28 or 9. Potential stocks.

Rajon Rondo and Kyrie Lowry!

These two players are also among the six candidates listed by the Eagles coach, but they are the last two because the Eagles don't need point guards that much and have too many ball handlers.

The Eagles want to select forwards and interiors, so Ronnie Brewer is the first choice. The other three are Senegal center Mohamed Sini, University of Memphis' Sean Williams, And North Carolina's Cedric Simmons.

The first four candidates on the list are all small forwards or centers.

Mourning, after winning two championships, is ready to leave the Hawks. He may go to some championship-winning teams that need championship experience, and may choose to retire. In short, whether it is from the perspective of the Hawks team or from a personal perspective, the Hawks The team is no longer suitable for him.

The season that just ended was okay. Mourning, who is one year older next season and has two championships in hand, doesn't know how much motivation he still has to work as hard as he did in the season that just ended.

Therefore, internal reinforcement is imperative, either through changes in internal personnel positions, signings, or draft reinforcements.

However, there is a big gap between the coaching staff's vision and Liu Mang's understanding of the future performance of these rookies.

The main thing is that the resources for the 2006 draft are too scarce, except for the Italian Nowitzki, the talented power forward Radmarcus Aldridge who participated in the draft as a sophomore at the University of Texas, and the so-called next Larry - Bird's Adam Morrison is no other rookie classified by experts as being in the first tier, that is, T1.

Then there is only one second gear, Rudy Gay.

However, Liu Mang knew that there was another player who could be regarded as a T1 rookie, Brandon Roy. However, Roy was a thorn in the side in college. He loved to toss in high school and was rejected by three universities. Finally, the University of Washington took a gamble. He was recruited into the school. Judging from his college performance, he was the best outside player among the rookies in this draft. However, he was not placed in the T1 or even T2 level, but was listed as a possible upset choice.

Anyway, the actual pick is not available.

"Ace, do you think Rondo or Lowry are more suitable for us? Who do you recommend?" Steven Price was more direct and asked Liu Mang directly what he thought.

Liu Mang's contract can opt out of the player option in advance in 2008. According to the league's rules, the earliest the Eagles can renew Liu Mang's contract in advance is from July to November 2007, which is just over a year, so Steven - Price attaches great importance to Liu Mang's happiness.

There are many factors that determine the selection of a star, such as lineup and money, but one thing is very important, that is, the star is happy in this team!

Just like Paul George more than ten years later, although he and Russell Westbrook played poorly in the first year, they were very happy playing together and finally renewed their contract.

At this stage, Liu Mang has just won three consecutive championships, has a good lineup, and is full of honors. The most important thing for the management is his happiness.

It's not like the core of the team is chosen by the top three picks, let alone the top three, not even the lottery picks, and they trust Liu Mang's vision.

When Coach Kruger heard this, he understood what the boss was thinking. They had already talked about this matter before and asked: "Ace, who do you think is more suitable for us?"

? "

Liu Mang didn't think so much, he was having a great time!

Hearing what the two said, he was a little confused.

Lowry's words are, in many ways, a better choice. For example, he only started to truly secure his starting position at the age of 28. In the previous seven or eight years, he spent most of his career as a substitute and had a good mentality. It's impossible to accumulate a lot, and you don't have to worry about him getting into trouble if you use him as a substitute.

However, from the perspective of team building, that is, it can be used to trade draft picks and enjoy rookie bonuses in a few years.

Lowry was miserable in his early years, with constant minor injuries. Sometimes when his team traded him, they would give him away with draft picks... And regardless of whether Lowry was playing as a substitute, he was worth a lot of money, and his strength was there, every year. They are all making progress. After the rookie contract ends, it will already be six to seven million a year.

A backup power forward or a backup center, six or seven million a year, or even seven or eight million a year, is not a big deal. Post players are already expensive, but a backup point guard is so expensive... it is normal for him to be traded continuously.

Rondo in his prime was definitely better than Lowry in his prime, leading in assists and first defense!

The key is that Rondo's peak period came early. He was selected to the All-Defensive Team since his third year. He also had 10+5+5 statistics since his second year. He got it next to the Big Three. He played poorly in his rookie year. It was the Celtics who were playing poorly, and they were playing as substitutes, but they also had 6+3+3 statistics.

If you choose Rondo, you will definitely be able to enjoy the benefits of Rondo's ability earlier. As for Lowry, he only has 9+3+5 data in the fourth grade...

From the perspective of ability, Lowry is more suitable to be selected as a substitute, but... Rondo has almost the same pick, almost the same money, and a lot more ability. Although his strength is overflowing as a substitute, it will overflow...

"Let's go for Rondo!" Liu Mang made a decision.

"Why?" Coach Kruger still wanted to ask the reason. These two rookies are players full of flaws, talented, and players known for their hard work.

"His hands are very similar to mine. His arms are long and his hands are big. It's him!" Liu Mang said seriously.

"..."

The office suddenly became quiet...

Can this reason be more perfunctory?

Coach Kruger covered his head helplessly. Forget it, he would definitely not be able to get anything out of the question.

Coach Kruger put away Rondo's information, thought about it, and selected a few from the list that had been passed aside to use as a cover for the second trial.

But if you want to choose Rondo, there will be many problems. This is a ball-holding point guard!

What is Calderon going to do? What should Iguodala do?

Coach Krueger feels the troubles of happiness...
