Chapter 575: In the year of the draft, the 2012 NBA Draft!
June 29, New York City.
At this time, the 2012 NBA Draft is about to be held in Madison Square, with a sea of people and talents gathered.
It's very lively, this is a big year for the draft.
2010 was not a big year for the draft, and 2011 is not a big year for the draft.
It was not the case in the previous two years. 2012 is definitely a big year for the draft. There are a lot of talents out there, believe it or not.
Oh, that makes sense.
Especially when the league was suspended in 2011, a large number of talented players chose to stay in college for one more year.
For example, Harrison Barnes may not be familiar with his name, but it was he who single-handedly contributed to the famous scene where Durant joined the team even after he couldn't beat him.
In Subei's previous life, had it not been for Barnes being released, the result was too strong and the opportunity was useless, the Warriors would not have been reversed by the Cavaliers led by James with a 3-1 lead.
If the Warriors win the championship with 73 wins instead of being runner-up, Durant will be needed to help them!
Curry will not be robbed of two MVPs.
Durant can't shoot the enemy, so he won't have a leg to stay with the Warriors, and then he will be sprayed. Before you came... you are far away.
Barnes was the No. 1 high school student in the United States in 2010. After the high school draft was banned, the normal operation was to attend college for one year and then enter the NBA.
In 2011, Barnes was the top three favorite, but he was afraid that the lockout would leave him without a ball to play with, so he chose to participate in the 2012 draft.
There are a lot of talents, and once you stay here, there will naturally be a lot of talented players.
Moreover, in this draft, Kentucky's three young talents are very eye-catching, including superstar seeds with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which has raised the quality of this draft's talent.
In addition, there are rumors that the 2012 draft will export 12 talented players to the CBA in the future.
Even if the NBA doesn't recognize it, the CBA will definitely recognize this year as a big year for the draft.
"Uu——"
Stern faced the boos of the audience, stepped onto the main stage, said some "no wait" remarks, and immediately announced the start of the 2012 draft.
"The first pick in the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft, the New Orleans Hornets' selection, has 5 minutes to consider..."
Still thinking about it!
If you have Joe, choose Joe, if you don’t have Joe, choose Shark, if you don’t have Joe, choose Shark, if you don’t have Joe, choose Shark, the toughest JB.
There is no Jordan-style super rookie this year. To choose the Sharks, you should pick Anthony Davis, who is not overly talented.
This person led the team to win the NCAA championship in his freshman year, paying tribute to Anthony in 2003.
He averaged 14.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. He didn't look as explosive as Anthony in college, but he shot a super-high 62.3% from the field. He ranked first in the United States with 4.65 blocks per game, and his 186 blocks in a single season created a record for the University of Kentucky and the Southeast.
The new record for freshmen in the league and NCAA means that Big Eyebrow has top-level defense that Carmelo Anthony does not have.
With both offense and defense, plus those thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like a superstar no matter how he looks.
As a proud man of heaven and a 2.08-meter inside player, if there is no peerless genius like James, he will be a must-choose question.
Opening the envelope, Stern glanced at it and said calmly:
"In the 2012 NBA draft, with the first pick in the first round, the Hornets selected...
University of Kentucky power forward, Anthony Davis!!”
The draft continued. Because of the emergence of Su Bei, the Bobcats got Paul, and their record was guaranteed to be below the line. They were not able to perform well happily, and lost the second pick.
The Wizards, led by John Wall, the No. 1 pick in 2010, had a poor record and were at the bottom of the draft, so they took the second pick in 2012 to the Wizards.
They also have 5 minutes to think about it.
There is a curse that the number one pick and the number two pick in the draft will be the same.
The three young boys from Kentucky in 2012 are very eye-catching. In addition to thick eyebrows, Michael Gilchrist is recognized as the one who has thick eyebrows this year.
He has quite excellent static and dynamic data, is considered to have strong physical fitness, and is a gatekeeper on the defensive end. He averaged 11.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in college, which is not comparable to thick eyebrows, but he is not like
Players who can lose water.
Well, that is to say, the shooting posture is a bit eye-catching, but the shooting rate is not bad.
“In the 2012 NBA draft, with the second overall pick in the first round, the Washington Wizards selected...
University of Florida shooting guard, Bradley Beal!!”
Actually skipped Michael Gilchrist and chose Bill?
The question is that Bill's style of play is more attractive to fans, and as a shooting guard, he has a better chance of becoming an All-Star.
And Gilchrist's shooting posture was too shabby, and he was on the same team as the thick eyebrows, which covered up many problems.
The magic spell is so effective. The probability that the top pick and the second pick from the same university will both become superstars is very small.
That is to say, Jordan has such a big heart that he dares to bet that a superstar will appear in the same nest.
Bill's draft template is round-faced, and even the ceiling can touch Ray Allen. He averages 14.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. It seems ordinary, but as a freshman, he shot 44.5% from the field and hit three-pointers.
The rate is 33.9%, which is still very promising.
In addition, John Wall averaged 16 points and 8 assists per game last season, mostly on breakthrough layups, and his three-point shooting percentage was 7%, which is simply eye-catching.
If Kidd is selected again... no, Michael Kidd and Gilchrist, two guys from the University of Kentucky, both have no long-range shooting ability, and Ariza's joining has been finalized, if the three of them let one
The team, that scene...the good guy would probably hear the sound of iron and give the fans a brain hemorrhage.
To be fair, choosing Bill is the most suitable choice for John Wall.
The draft continues, and there are days without James. Even though the Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick and selected Ou Shenxian, they are still a bad team that cannot be helped.
The Bobcats led by Paul are not even a bit better than the Cavaliers led by Irving.
Of course, as a newcomer, Irving needs time to adapt, so it is reasonable for him to lead the team in his first year.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Paul was also very disappointed in his first year... No, Paul was also very disappointed in his first year.
It doesn't matter, Ou Shenxian's playing style is better than Paul's by a few blocks. It's enough to be handsome. Why do you need results?
The Cavaliers have a strong draft lottery ability. After winning the No. 1 pick in 2011, in 2012, without the Bobcats as a walk-off pick, the Cavaliers got the third pick.
After five minutes of thinking, the Cavaliers copied what they did in 2003 and made the same choice as the Nuggets when they passed up Anthony.
"In the 2012 NBA draft, with the third overall pick in the first round, the Cavaliers selected...
Kentucky small forward, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist!!”
With the 2011 No. 1 pick Irving and the fourth overall pick Thompson, the Cavaliers do not lack talent. What they lack is the winning habit that James took with him after he left.
Michael Gilchrist was born in the University of Kentucky. He is such a talented person. I don’t know if he is nice or not, but he must be talented and have the habit of winning.
The Cavaliers also need to strengthen the small forward position, which is a natural choice.
Irving can score, the Eight Wise Kings can grab rebounds, and Gilchrist's shooting posture is ugly. If his shooting percentage cannot go up, it's not a big problem. They just serve as defensive gates, and the three of them can complement each other...
…
"In the 2012 NBA draft, with the 6th overall pick in the first round, the Trail Blazers selected...
Weber State guard, Damian Lillard!!”
Lillard is "only" the sixth overall pick in this draft. The problem is that unlike other rookies, he is not the chosen one.
In Lillard's scouting report, the advantages are described as follows: He is one of the most prolific college scorers in the United States. He is 1.88 meters tall and has an ideal figure for an NBA point guard. He has a good wingspan and a strong body; he has a very strong shooting ability.
In the past season, he averaged 7.1 three-pointers per game and shot 43.2% from the field. He is very efficient and can score suddenly... He is good at fouling. He averaged 8.0 free throws per game and made 88.4% of his free throws... He can be a good on-ball defender.
The player... can become a very competitive leader player.
To put it simply, he has all the abilities to dominate the game.
Disadvantages: It's just that Lillard's so-called "dominance" is not convincing, he is in the minor leagues, he is not very competitive, he has the risk of injury after being out for a year, and he is a senior.
Coupled with the problem of shot selection and certain health risks, it is reasonable that the draft is not higher. It can even be said that he is a dark horse.
After all, Lillard's talent is indeed not elite level.
Of course, his face-slapping ability is definitely elite level.
His lower limit template is Jerry Bayless, who was a lottery pick in 2008. In 11 seasons in his career, he averaged 8.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. He is a good rotation player.
The upper limit is Jay Williams. He was snatched away as the No. 1 pick by Yao Ming in 2002. He failed to realize his talent, but he was selected as the No. 2 pick and has the qualifications to be the No. 1 pick... In this way, Lillard still has something.
…
"In the 2012 NBA selection, with the seventh overall pick in the first round, the Warriors selected Harrison Barnes, a small forward from...the University of North Carolina!!"
Ever since West became a consultant to the Warriors, the Warriors have been really ruthless in drafting, picking every pick accurately and basically without any discernment.
As the No. 1 high school student in the United States in 2010, Barnes has a perfect standard figure for a small forward, with a height of 6 feet 8 inches, a wingspan of 7 feet, and excellent mobility and athletic ability.
His basic skills are very solid, and he has smooth, soft, reliable and confident catching and shooting abilities, with a shooting range as far as the NBA range.
As a freshman, he averaged 15.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. He was elected the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year and was the favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft.
It's just a pity that the lockout in 2011 disrupted Barnes' draft plan. He probably had a mental problem and actually thought that he would not be able to play in the NBA.
Then, he stayed for one more year, and as a result, he had the same bad luck. North Carolina's talented point guard Kendall Marshall was injured. No one passed the ball to Barnes, and he was unable to create scoring opportunities by himself. This problem was put under the microscope.
Coupled with his unstable personal condition and lack of aggressive style of play, if his outside shooting is inaccurate, he will disappear from the court and his influence on the game will be close to zero.
Well, no wonder he will be replaced by Durant in the Warriors in the future, and there will be basically no progress in the NBA.
It also proves from the side that Barnes has a really good foundation and a very good foundation. With the ability he had in college, he can still get a big contract in the NBA. The talent is there, it is really scary!
