Chapter 54: Brad Miller
Reading that there is a five-minute interval between each first-round pick. Jiang Dongbing waited until he was drowsy, and finally waited until the second round began.
Like normal history, Lewis was selected by the Seattle Supersonics at the 32nd pick, which made Jiang Dongbing secretly say that it was a pity.
The player's rebounding and defensive strength are average, but his offensive firepower is quite sufficient, especially his accurate three-pointer, which left a deep impression on Jiang Dongbing.
Many people may not know how terrifying Lewis' three-pointers are. His career three-pointers ranked 19th in NBA history.
It seems that the ranking is not high, but if you only look at pure strikers, only Pierce, Nowitzki and James are ranked higher than him.
Lewis' career is much shorter than these three players, and his average shooting percentage is significantly better than these three players.
If you only look at the power forward position, then there is only one German anti-aircraft gun Nowitzki who can compete with Lewis.
It is definitely fake for Jiang Dongbing to say that he is not moved. The offensive weapon of three-pointers is too fatal. Under the training of Jiang Dongbing's system, Lewis can have extremely terrifying three-point firepower in the short term.
In other words, the Grizzlies' family background is too thin, otherwise Jiang Dongbing would have to take down Lewis even if he was selling his business.
...
"I announce that the Philadelphia 76ers chose Cartino Mobri from the University of Rhode Island with the 37th pick in the second round!" Xiao Hua announced loudly on the stage.
Mobley did not come to the scene today. He was selected in such a ranking, and it was probably not very good to him.
You should know that in the just-concluded Black March, Mobley also led the University of Rhode Island to the quarterfinals and achieved the best record in team history, but because of his height, he fell to the second round.
If his height is five centimeters taller, reaching the standard height of the point guard, or his organizational ability reaches 70% of Bibi, then his ranking will never fall out of the top ten. Perhaps the king chose not just a coincidence, but a Mobley.
Like David, Jackson and Olovo Candy, who were selected in the high ranking, are they really just because they are strong? That's not all, mainly because their physical hardware is excellent enough.
Needless to say, David and Olovo Candy are the standard center template hardware, and Jackson's 203 cm tall can play the second and third positions, which is an advantage in itself.
"Okay, we have already obtained Mobley. Jiang, can you tell me who will choose for the remaining second round pick?" Stewart asked curiously.
Jiang Dongbing chose Mobley at all, but he had no objection. After all, Mobley just looked like he had little potential, that is, his combat power should be pretty good.
Of course, this is just a guess. No one can say whether Mobley can adapt to the NBA rhythm.
Jiang Dongbing shook his head, "Stay waiting, this player is definitely much better than Levitra. It's no exaggeration to say that he will definitely be the All-Star in the future."
Stewart was stunned and better than Levitra? Is this player also a center? And an All-Star center?
If Jiang Dongbing could really choose a future All-Star center with the 56th pick in the second round, Stewart felt that this would be really amazing.
After waiting for a long time, it was finally the Grizzlies' turn to pick 56 in the second round, and Xiao Hua read it out on stage.
"I announce that the Vancouver Grizzlies chose Brad Miller from Purdue University with the second round 56 pick!"
Stewart looked confused, Brad Miller? Is this the future All-Star center that Jiang Dongbing mentioned?
The center is indeed a real center, but All-Star? Stewart doesn't think Brad Miller has the slightest chance to enter the All-Star.
As the starting center of Purdue University, Stewart is naturally familiar with Miller and knows Miller's style very well.
In his opinion, it makes sense that Miller has no interest in the draft.
First of all, as a white center, Miller has a common problem with most white centers, that is, poor athletic ability.
Poor athletic ability may lead to low defensive level of players. In fact, Miller's defensive performance at Purdue University is indeed not very good.
In addition, the offensive end was not very good, and Stewart felt that Miller's offense was even far inferior to Levitra.
The only thing that can be seen is the passing ability. Miller showed excellent passing ability when he was Purdue University, but in Stewart's opinion, what kind of passing ability is a center who guards the basket and ends the offense? This is as ridiculous as the point guard showing off his rebounding ability.
In addition, Miller has played for four years before participating in the draft. At this age, he is definitely an older rookie.
He has no advantage in strength and potential. He is also an older rookie, so it would be strange if he can have a team.
"He's the All-Star Center you call?"
"Sorry, I really can't see how his offense or defense can afford the All-Star." Stewart asked speechlessly.
Jiang Dongbing smiled bitterly. Stewart's words were actually right. Just looking at offense or defense, Miller really can't afford to be the All-Star title.
Although Miller is also known as a bad guy in the NBA, his style of play is generally recognized as soft, not a typical center who can end the offense. Compared with Da Ben, who is also a black and rough man who is also a undrafted draft, it is even more incomparable.
But this does not mean that Miller is of no value. In fact, he should be one of the centers most suitable for the Princeton system. With the addition of the Princeton system, his role on the court can be amplified several times.
Jiang Dongbing doesn't catch a lot of colds about the Princeton system, because this tactical system is suitable for those losers.
What is a loser team? It is a team with no stars in the team. After having Miller, such a team can fully rely on tactics to achieve good results.
Of course, it can only be a good record. Jiang Dongbing thinks it is unrealistic to expect this tactic to win the championship.
Basketball is different from football or rugby. After playing around, the final part is the player's personal ability. If there are three or four top players, I'm afraid that even the most loyal supporter of the Princeton system, Adelman, will definitely give up Princeton.
The reason why Jiang Dongbing wants to take Miller now is definitely not that he wants to fight against the Princeton system, but that he wants to fatten Miller after he takes Miller, and sell it in exchange for some valuable chips.
No one dares to say that at least the Kings coached by Adelman is definitely willing to pay a high price to acquire the mature Brad Miller.
"Mr. Jackson, Brad's strength is not as simple as you think."
"He will definitely give us a huge surprise in a year. Besides, even if he really doesn't play, we will lose only an irrelevant second-round pick." Jiang Dongbing smiled at Stewart.
