If you have Joe, choose Joe, if you don’t have Joe, choose Shark, if you don’t have Joe, choose Shark, Yingetara.
Cross it out!
The Clippers, who have a tradition of making eye-catching decisions, don't need these "do-it-yourself" regular draft reference tips.
In terms of physical talent, Griffin's hardware is average. He is 2.07 meters tall when wearing shoes and only 2.04 meters without shoes. What's embarrassing is that Griffin also looks like someone else, with short hands and a wingspan of just over 2.09 meters.
Because of his playing style, Griffin still has injury risks.
However, in the eyes of the Clippers owner, these are not important. What is important is that Griffin pursues beautiful violent aesthetics and scores, and his playing style is attractive and can easily increase his popularity.
Moreover, Griffin has black blood, but has the face of a white superstar, and he has stepped into the heart of the boss.
Not to mention, Griffin's draft report said that he has a mortal body but superhuman abilities.
He has a strong body and has completed 22 bench presses. His explosive power and jumping ability are outstanding. His vertical jump reached 81cm, which is even better than Howard back then.
If you look carefully, Griffin looks like a silly big guy, so he is nicknamed "Silly Finn", but his agility and flexibility are unexpectedly outstanding.
In high school and college, his performance on the field was very impressive, you can also call him "Give Lifen".
As a sophomore, Griffin had 30 double-doubles in the season, averaging 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds per game, which was comparable to Bird and Duncan back then. His template was pointed at Karl Malone, who was expected to be the top pick.
Well, actually, there is another reason why I should be chosen over others.
Griffin looks like Hiroshi Mori Shige who stepped out of the "Slam Dunk" manga.
Serialized from 1990 to 1996, Takehiko Inoue predicted the emergence of stars in advance. This face should still be given, even if it is only the number one pick.
Then the music was played, and then the talent show.
The Grizzlies management, which holds the second pick, is a little panicked.
There are many decades in life. In these twelve years, including this time, the Grizzlies have taken the second pick 5 times. The first 4 times, this is the definition of what it means to have a chance of not being used.
In the first four times, no second overall pick could play well with the Grizzlies.
Well, Mike Bibby is in Grizzlies and just qualified.
You mean Francis, who was second in the rankings in 1999?
I did play well, but I would rather not play than play for the Grizzlies. I played well with the Rockets.
Therefore, in addition to selecting capable players, the Grizzlies also have to consider the character of the rookie.
For example, the general manager of the Grizzlies actually likes Curry and thought about using the second pick to draft Curry.
However, at this moment, Curry has a "primary school student" face, but he is "thorny".
Before the draft, he only accepted trial invitations from the Knicks and Kings, and threatened to play only for the Knicks, just like Francis in 1999.
The Grizzlies have Mike Conley, the fourth overall pick in 2007, and OJ Mayo, the third overall pick in 2008, so they don't have many requirements for guards.
There is Gasol inside, and he has good potential, but the fat Gasol has no star appearance, and it is predicted that he will not be able to support the Grizzlies inside.
In fact, the Grizzlies have also negotiated the signing and joining contract of free agent Krza Randolph, just waiting for the free market to open.
Randolph is a bad person, recognized as a cancer in the league. If they didn't have no choice, the Grizzlies wouldn't want him.
This person's offense is okay, but his defense just gives him points.
The outside talent is sufficient, but the inside problem is still unclear.
It is also said that the number one scholar and the number two scholar are bound to be exposed to a magic spell.
Things only come in threes. The Grizzlies believe that the fourth time is the right time to turn things around. The curse is nothing!
For five minutes, the Grizzlies manager took one look at Harden's appearance and then at Thabeet.
Harden, who has no beard, looks ordinary, a little chubby, like a toad, and does not have the appearance of a superstar. He probably can only be used as the sixth man on the bench if he chooses.
The answer is, there is almost no suspense.
“With the second overall pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies selected...
Center from the University of Connecticut, Hasheem Thabeet!”
There was nothing wrong with picking Thabeet. He didn't wrong the Grizzlies, but he was the right choice.
With a height of 2.21 meters, a wingspan of 2.29 meters, a standing reach of 2.87 meters, and a maximum reach of 3 meters, this talent is a bug in defense.
In his junior year, he averaged 13.5 points, 10.9 rebounds and 4.2 blocks per game. His defense was outstanding, but his offense was rough.
But offensively, the Grizzlies have a lot of talent, and defense is what needs strengthening the most.
Role models are invincible, but unfortunately, the world only sees successful role models.
Thabeet is from Africa. He has outstanding height and talent. He started playing basketball late but has improved rapidly. People generally think of him as Mutombo, but they have never considered the possibility that he could be Olowokandi, the parallel import No. 1 pick in 2001.
?
The draft continued, and the Thunder's management, who had the third overall pick, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be fair, Griffin is the Thunder's fourth youngest player and their biggest target.
Durant, Westbrook and Jeff Green are three, and Griffin is the fourth.
If they get Artest or Marion or Jason Richardson from the free market, any quasi-All-Star swingman, the Thunder will survive.
Harden doesn't have star looks, and Westbrook is already in the lineup, so he can only be used as a backup, a proper stepmother.
Now that Griffin has been picked away, Harden can only be used as a sixth man, which should be enough.
"With the third overall pick in the first round of 2009, the Thunder selected Arizona State University guard James Harden!"
The Thunder's draft vision is good. Harden is 1.93 meters tall and 1.96 meters tall in shoes. As a shooting guard, he lacks some talent.
Fortunately, the wingspan is 2.11 meters, the standing reach is 2.63 meters, the running reach is 3.56 meters, the standing jump is 0.94 meters, the 3/4 field sprint time is 3.13 seconds, 84 kg bench press: 17 times
, Body fat rate: 10.1%, all data are top-notch, not bad.
As a sophomore, he averaged 20 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, which was neither good nor bad.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The European step is sharp, has a good mid-range shot, and a qualified three-pointer, has a broad vision, plays selflessly, defends well, and has the talent to become a top defender.
With Durant and Westbrook, choosing a player like Harden to assist the second player is indeed a superior choice.
The Thunder's draft quality is absolutely unique.
The best one was chosen in both 2007 and 2008. Even if Curry hadn't been too perverted, Harden would have been the best one in 2009.
However, the Thunder are still small in terms of structure.
I didn't predict that Harden would open up the two channels of Ren and Governor and have enlightenment.
Otherwise, if the three young masters can conquer the world, Harden will be the best.
The blame is on Paul. Even if he leaves the Thunder, Harden can still have a chance to kill Curry, but Paul is useless, and Harden has no choice but to succumb.
"With the fourth overall pick in the first round of 2009, the Kings selected guard Tyreke Evans from the University of Memphis!"
Among the options of Curry and Evans, the Kings ultimately did not choose the extremely popular Curry.
You must know that the leader of the Kings at this time is Kevin Martin. If Curry is selected, the Kings will most likely form a "Splash Brothers" combination.
However, it is only a possibility, not a certainty.
The only thing that is certain is that the Kings backcourt will form a double leakage combination in the backcourt. For a rebuilding team, the ceiling of defensive talent is still too bad.
You can't win a championship by shooting from the outside. The Kings understand this very well. Even the Princeton tactical system can't win. There is no possibility of winning just by relying on Curry's shooting.
Evans is different. He is known as Little James, and he can play the 1, 2, and 3 positions if he is out of position.
James is at the peak of his powers now. He doesn’t have a template to choose from. It’s really unnecessary to have a Curry who can only shoot the basket.
After the first four picks have been selected, it's the Timberwolves' turn with picks No. 5 and No. 6.
No suspense, must-choose questions!
"With the fifth overall pick in the first round of 2009, the Timberwolves selected Spanish League defender Ricky Rubio!"
Rubio showed superstar-like organizational talent in the 2008 Olympics. He was only 18 that year, and everyone else was just a lackey.
He is young and promising, and looks as handsome as a prince. He is not even a little better than the Gasol brothers. With the Spanish European market as his backing, he can be said to have a lot of money if he succeeds.
Even if Rubio is not willing to play for a small team like the Timberwolves and would rather delay coming to the NBA, the Timberwolves will not let Rubio go.
After all, Rubio's superstar status and physical condition are a bit weak, but he can be shielded from his organizational talent.
With the sixth pick, the Timberwolves can also pick Curry.
However, Curry is a "thorn" and can't defend. If Rubio loses his stock, is he willing to join the NBA, but is it not a double leakage combination in the backcourt?
Curry, I can’t afford it!
So, take out Jonny Flynn, and you're still a point guard.
The Timberwolves selected Rubio's backup tire and were prepared for a long-term battle.
It's a dead-on-a-tree choice. The management is also talented, and they blinded themselves to two good picks in the first year of the draft.
With the seventh pick, the Warriors made an unexpected choice.
"With the seventh overall pick in the first round of 2009, the Warriors selected Davidson College guard Stephen Curry!"
At the scene, the audience from New York became angry. The cooked "elementary schoolboy" flew away, threw the food he was holding on the sidelines, and then burst into boos.
"Uu——!"
The Knicks' goal was intercepted by that shameless guy from the Warriors.
I really can't figure it out. The Warriors obviously have Ellis who has the same style as Curry, and they also have Azubuike who is very good.
Curry and Ellis were undefended on the court and couldn't play together at all.
Old Nelson's old habit of only attacking and not defending has happened again.
To be fair, as a head coach, Nelson failed in choosing Curry.
The backcourt pair of Curry and Ellis can't win the ball with both shots and leaks.
However, judging from the general manager's physical condition, the Warriors were in trouble.
In fact, at this time, Curry looks like an All-Star shooter.
However, Curry has a good father, a father who can shoot three-pointers equally accurately. He can stand on the shoulders of old Curry, touch and feel the ceiling above his head in advance, and the rest is done with abnormal three-pointers.
Break that ceiling.
Kobe did it too.
His father not only taught Kobe Bryant skills, but also taught him a strong character.
Kobe was so strong that he was paranoid, but he also stood on the shoulders of Bryant Sr. and went one step further.
Curry stood up from his seat, his face a little ugly. He wanted to play for the Knicks.
There's D'Antoni there.
He can play run-and-gun and become another Nash.
Fortunately, Lao Curry promptly reminded you to manage your expressions well.
To be fair, under Nelson, he can become another Nash.
Although it is not necessarily at the peak level, it is more stable.
Once upon a time, Nash also shined and made a name for himself under the guidance of Nelson.
D'Antoni just used Nash's instructions to the extreme.
Old Nelson can develop.
Curry's luck is not generally good.
With the eighth pick, the Knicks had yet to make a choice and were drowned in boos again.
Just one pick away, they got the first target they wanted.
The Timberwolves have the 5th and 6th picks, and with the Knicks' drafting ability, they can definitely make an operation and advance the 8th pick to the Warriors.
However, the Knicks manager was inexplicably confident, thinking that Curry had announced to play for the Knicks and that the Warriors had "another Curry" and would not take away their candidate. As a result, his honeyed confidence was severely undermined.
Splashed hard in the face.
When the deal failed, they had no choice but to use the 8th pick to pick Jordan Hill.
Curry is Nash.
Jordan Hill has great physical talent and is 2.08 meters tall. He can be trained to become Stoudemire.
Don't ask, if you ask, D'Antoni copied his own homework.
With the ninth pick, the Rams took DeMar DeRozan, one of the garbage brothers.
The Menglong team has Bosh Bargnani inside, as well as a center and a power forward.
Turkoglu has almost been acquired in the free market, and there is also a small forward.
Calderon and Jarrett Jack can take turns taking over the No. 1 position.
Shooting guard, choose a contemporary Jordan DeRozan, which is great, right?
No. 10 pick, Bucks Brandon Jennings.
"Mo Bu Chuan" was poached by the Cavaliers and could only be strengthened in the draft.
Jennings' template is Iverson, a scoring point guard who can just fill the "passing" position.
Once upon a time, Jennings was the No. 1 high school student in the United States in 2008. However, his academic performance was so bad that he couldn't even compete in the NCAA. As a result, he had to go to the European League. He couldn't adapt to the style there, and his draft stock fell step by step.
In Rome, he averaged only 6.2 points and 2.4 assists per game last season, and his performance was too low. The Bucks still want to take a gamble on the talent of the former No. 1 high school student in the United States.
…
The 13th pick, Pacers Tyler Hambruce.
There is a legend that the shooting guard was selected with the 13th overall pick. The Pacers did not select a shooting guard. It is a wrong comment!
Hambruce's performance in the NCAA was very good and he won everything.
However, staying there for four years was a waste of talent.
Not everyone is Duncan, who only comes out after reaching the full level? Most likely, adults will tell you that times have changed.
Of course, with his talent, participating in the draft early will only lead to better results.
…
In the 2009 draft, the lottery picks had a good success rate and deserved to be named in a prime draft year.
It's just a pity that Evans and Jennings, two potential new stars with superstar status, have been lost. Otherwise, the quality of this year's draft would have been even better.
Of course, other first-round picks are also very impressive.
For example, with the 17th pick, the 76ers selected Jrue Holiday.
In the 12/13 season, he was selected as an All-Star.
With a height of 1.93 meters, he is actually at a quasi-All-Star level and has received a lot of benefits from the small ball era.
…
Jeff Teague, who was selected by the Hawks with the 19th overall pick, is nicknamed "The Mamba" and was an All-Star in 2014.
Being with Antetokounmpo and winning a championship gave him a much higher evaluation of his career experience.
Of course, without the second-round pick, Beverley, Danny Green and Wesley Matthews added their talents, making the 2009 draft even more legendary.
Now, this draft can only be said to be seriously underestimated.
At the end of the draft, Su Bei returned to the village and went into recuperation and fishing time.
What I never forget is my blind date career.
However, the blind date business didn't last long, and he still had to participate in the 2009 Men's Basketball Asian Championship.
Su Bei and Yao Ming paddled all the way to the finals.
On August 16, in the final against Yin Lang, Wang Zha, a flower grower, stopped pretending and showed off his skills. He immediately defeated his opponent and completely defeated him.
With Yao Ming on the inside, Haddadi can't make waves.
Yin Lang could only compete for second place and was defeated by the massacre. It was just a matter of basic skills.
