At this time, the 2008 NBA Draft was being held in the theater of the Madison Square Garden Arena. Talents gathered, crowds of people were busy, and it was very lively.
From a black and white perspective, 2008 was a bad year for the draft.
I didn’t take the test in the past few years, but I will definitely take the test this year. I have to mark the key points on the blackboard and remember them.
Exams and drafts have some similarities.
On the other hand, if you took the exam in the past few years, you will not be able to take the questions that you have passed in the next few years.
2007 was a big year for the draft, so 2008 is a bad year for the draft, experts say.
Well, there are big fish in the fish pond, and 2009 is also a small year.
In fact, 08 and 09 are both Chinese New Years.
Only 19-year-olds can participate in the draft, and high school students are prohibited from bringing their talents to the league early, giving the draft more balance.
It’s not like a bunch of talented players from the past two years have entered the league.
David Stern made an appearance, stood on the main stage, and said something about "you have to wait". The audience was not used to him and booed like a tsunami.
"Uu——!"
As the ceremony ended, Stern immediately announced the start of the NBA draft.
"The 2008 NBA Draft, the first pick in the first round, the Chicago Bulls have 5 minutes to consider..."
This is a must-choose question, so why bother considering it?
You know how to choose with your feet.
Taking the envelope, Stern said calmly:
"In the 2008 NBA draft, with the first overall pick in the first round, Chicago selected...
University of Memphis guard Derrick Rose!
"
If there is Joe, choose Joe, if there is no Joe, choose Shark, if there is no Joe, no shark, Yingodala.
Ross is the first sequence of "You Joe".
As long as the Bulls are not blind, they will not skip Rose and select other rookie players.
14.9 points, 4.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds - these are Rose's numbers in the NCAA. They look mediocre. He doesn't look like the No. 1 pick and is at a disadvantage compared to another No. 1 pick candidate.
But as a freshman, he led the University of Memphis to a fantastic record of 33 wins and 1 loss in the NBA, just shy of winning the championship.
However, in the 2008 NCAA Finals, he missed a free throw and was dragged to overtime by his opponent, and then was reversed and defeated.
To be fair, Rose led the team to the finals as a freshman, which is equivalent to Carmelo Anthony.
Looking at it this way, it is not surprising that Rose was selected as the No. 1 pick. He is a leader in terms of ball average, and statistics cannot reflect his talent and strength.
Anthony was also the top pick back then.
Speaking of Anthony, just like in 2003, 2008 also had its own unique twins, one was Rose and the other was Michael Beasley.
The number one pick is among the two, and there is no one better.
It's just that Beasley was as unlucky as Anthony in 2003 and met the chosen one.
The reasons why the Bulls selected Rose and the reasons why the Cavaliers selected James cannot be said to be similar, they can only be said to be exactly the same.
James is the son of Alenke of the Cavaliers, and Rose Rose of the Windy City is most likely the son of Chicago.
Of course, the Bulls already have Ben Gordon and Luol Deng, two scoring masters, so they naturally don't want to choose one more player, as it doesn't make much sense.
There is a saying, no matter how good Beasley is in scoring, he is just a pioneer general. What the Bulls need is a general who can lead the three armies. What they need is a figure like Jordan - in addition to data, there is also the desire to win!
Ross is the person they need.
A man who is like the wind, a guy who rushes to play and has no mercy on his knees, how can people not love him?
…
The talent show continued with music and then dancing.
The Heat, who won the championship in 2006, survived for a year in 2007, and failed in 2008, have the second pick and have five minutes to consider it.
Actually, consider this der.
In 2003, when there were two unrivaled teams, the Pistons just made trouble. What was the result?
As far as the draft is concerned, the Pistons' passing on Anthony is a huge failure.
The Heat are thinking about the "long-term plan" and naturally they will not make adjustments. If they do, they will have to make adjustments in 2010.
"In the 2006 NBA Draft, with the second overall pick in the first round, the Miami Heat selected...
Forward from Kansas State, Michael Beasley!”
In terms of talent, Beasley is amazing.
Rumor has it that Durant is one year older than Beasley, but he can't beat Beasley in a one-on-one match. Durant has been the second oldest since high school.
During the four years of high school, Beasley changed to one high school every year, or even two. It can be said that he had his own scoring system, and his record in the high school arena was - 138 wins and 5 losses.
One word: shocking.
During Durant's senior year in high school, when he averaged more than 20 minutes per game, he would secretly enjoy himself, thinking about drinking the school belle's footbath or something.
For Beasley, more than 20 points have not yet reached the passing line. This person is a real genius. Durant is so impressed by this person that he is convinced in capital letters.
With Beasley alive, Durant couldn't float at all and just wanted to work hard to catch up with Beasley.
A good cry: Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty.
The scary thing is that Beasley is also a teenager.
As a sophomore in high school, your personal statistics were atrocious—averaging 45 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 blocks per game. Do you still have the best skills?
Are there any laws?
Beasley outperformed the other players in the 2007 McDonald's All-American High School Game and was named the MVP of the game.
In the high school years, it can be said that his military exploits were shining brightly and he was famous.
If he could still participate in the draft in high school, he would also be the top pick in the 2007 draft.
As a freshman, in the 2007-08 season, he averaged 12.4 rebounds per game, ranking first in the NCAA Division I, and averaged 26.2 points per game, ranking third.
The number of "20 10" double-doubles reached 28 times, breaking the national record held by Anthony. Beasley's all-round combat ability was nicknamed the taller version of Anthony.
In fact, this year, at this moment, Beasley is the most popular rookie candidate for the No. 1 pick. It is even said that he will definitely be the No. 1 pick. His immediate combat ability and talent are simply overflowing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It's a pity that the league's behind-the-scenes operations are too ruthless, and the Bulls will get the No. 1 pick as soon as they mess up, which makes no sense.
The lingering shadow of Jordan is so terrifying!
In terms of character, Beasley is an angel on one side and a devil on the other. To put it bluntly, he is gorgeous on the offensive end and broken on the defensive end.
If it was just a matter of defensive distraction and lack of focus, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, there is a gorgeous offensive backbone.
The biggest trouble is off the court. This man is a genius, but all geniuses have their own illnesses.
It doesn't matter if he is sick, but this person's disease is similar to Rodman's.
There is no logic in what he does. He is intoxicated in his own illusory world. He will do things as soon as he wakes up. He also sucks aunts and so on. There are a lot of bad things.
Because he is too talented, he plays more casually, has no desire to win, and no killer instinct.
The Heat had no choice. It was a small year in the draft and there were not many rookies worthy of the second pick.
The Heat can only take risks, and it just so happens that Lai Li likes gambling the most.
The last time he bet on Wade, he made a fortune.
This time he bet on Billis, and he had a greater chance of winning.
why not?
The worst thing is, if we start playing cards again in 2010, it will be nothing more than playing casually in two boring years.
…
After Rose and Beasley, this pair of peerless beauties were drafted away.
The Timberwolves have a bit of a headache. Their target is Kevin Love. They want to copy Garnett's work and choose a reliable power forward.
It's just that the gambling nature is a bit too much. Love's style of play and body are a little bit soft, and he's not worth a third overall pick.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies were afraid that their prey would be intercepted by the SuperSonics, so they helped solve the Timberwolves' headache and used the fifth pick to make a PY trade with the Timberwolves.
2008 is a small year for the draft. If you can make a fortune, the Timberwolves themselves are willing to make friends and hand over the third overall pick.
"With the third overall pick in the first round of 2007, the Timberwolves selected guard O.J. Mayo from the University of Southern California!"
There is nothing wrong with this choice.
In high school, Mayo was the strongest high school student after James.
Magazine cover at the time: The next LeBron James
He has the template of Jordan and is called the next generation of Kobe and the next generation of Jordan. He is regarded as the NBA's most box office star in the future.
An NBA scout analysis report said that Mayo has Wade's lightning speed, Kobe's agility, James' strong body, Iverson's breakthrough, and Nash's passing. Mayo is omnipotent and proficient in everything on the court. Simply a perfect combination.
If he hadn't stopped growing after high school and was only 1.93 meters tall, it would not be impossible to call him the next James.
As long as he is taller, it is very likely that he will be the No. 1 pick in 2008.
Although Mayo failed to perform a dominant performance in the NCAA competition and set off the "Mayo" trend, he still had a No. 1 overall pick.
In the words of a certain father: My son Wang Teng has the appearance of a great emperor.
I’m talking about a genius like OJ Ome.
If you don't choose him, the law of heaven will be unforgivable.
…
"With the fourth overall pick in the first round of 2007, the Sonics selected guard Russell Westbrook from the University of California, Los Angeles!"
Westbrook was an upset. It can only be said that the Sonics' draft vision is outstanding.
For two consecutive years, or even three years, we have selected the strongest and most promising rookies. With this vision, the team will not rise unless it is unwilling to spend more money.
When Westbrook was a sophomore in high school, he couldn't dunk, and he didn't take off until his senior year.
In college, he was a substitute in his freshman year and only took off in his sophomore year, which somewhat affected his draft stock.
The top three picks are all players who have made a name for themselves in high school and have proven themselves to be stars in college.
However, Westbrook's strongest point is that his talent is at full level, his body is at full level, and he can grow wildly.
Well, including appearance.
He is 1.91 meters tall, weighs 90 kilograms, has strong muscles visible to the naked eye, and has excellent physical fitness. He can reach a vertical jump of 8, 11, 100 meters, and 10.2 meters. He has super athletic ability, which allows him to play explosive games and play style.
It's very entertaining and can attract fans to the stadium to watch the game, which is a plus.
Moreover, Westbrook has the quality to be the second in command. After all, he came from the bench and was not so arrogant at first.
His vision is poor, but he is willing to pass the ball.
His weakness is shooting, but if he works very hard, he may be able to practice it. If he can't practice it, it's okay. With just his physical talent, he may become a top point guard.
Then, he is physically invincible, but he can do anything and everything, he is willing to defend, he has the talent to become a top defensive player, he dares to play and rush, and he has the drive to become a top scorer.
Both under the head and above the head are top-notch, and the template is Rondo and Ellis.
The turtle that came out of the sewer, you deserve it.
Of course, when it comes to talent, the most indispensable thing in the league is talent.
The Sonics ultimately chose Westbrook based on their own needs.
The SuperSonics have two young players, Durant and Jeff Green, so there is nothing wrong with the forward position.
What needs to be strengthened is the talent at the point guard and center positions.
Especially for point guards, players like Earl Watson and Luke Ridnour are used to play@, and the upper limit of talent is too low.
Coupled with the fact that he plays offensive basketball and needs to rush forward, the SuperSonics' first choice is naturally talent and point guard.
