The defensive coverage area is very wide, and both the inside and outside lines are within his defensive range. It can be said that he is a 360-degree killer with no blind spots.
At the same time, his jumping ability is also very good and his bounce speed is very fast, which allows him to complete alley-oops easily.
At the same time, his coordination skills are excellent, and he can easily score the ball even if he cannot complete an alley-oop dunk.
Anthony Davis is also a natural rebounder, averaging 104 rebounds per game in college.
After the team entered March Madness, he averaged 123 rebounds per game in six games.
Especially in the inside position, although his body does not look strong, he is not afraid of confrontation at all and is a tough player.
At the same time, Anthony Davis's shooting ability is also very good, his movements are very standard, and his shooting percentage is also very good.
It can be said that Anthony Davis has shown great talent on both offense and defense.
Draft experts even summed up their evaluation of him as "unlimited potential, the core of the team"!
Disadvantages: This is still a problem that occurs with rookie players.
The body is not strong enough, lacks strength, is thin, needs to gain weight, etc...
However, Anthony Davis has very broad shoulders.
This also means that as long as he undergoes the NBA's systematic training, he has great potential to become a powerful player.
However, his current core strength and lower body strength need to be strengthened.
The offensive skills are relatively rough, whether it is post-ups, steps under the basket, or face-to-frame attacks, they all lack skills.
Another point is that Anthony Davis is relatively easy to mess up.
The draft template set by scouts and draft experts for Anthony Davis is "Wolf King" Garnett.
It can be seen from the positioning of the draft template that these draft experts are very optimistic about Anthony Davis.
However, Anthony Davis's talent and development potential are indeed worthy of being the No. 1 pick.
In addition to Anthony Davis, there are some outstandingly talented players.
Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Harrison Barnes, Evan Fournier, Terrence Ross and more.
However, these players are all ranked very high and are basically in the lottery.
According to the Knicks' 30th pick in the first round, it is simply impossible to select these talented players.
No matter how they fall, they will never fall to the 30th pick in the first round.
Therefore, Lian Dao only looked at these players and did not focus on them at all.
The second-round pick 'Taobao' is truly in line with the Knicks' operation.
But fortunately, there are indeed a few dusty pearls among this year's second-round picks.
Lian Dao recalled several players who had counterattacked based on his memories from his previous life.
For example, Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, Jae Crowder, etc.
Especially Draymond Green, his growth was something no one expected.
As an older rookie, his growth is also the most amazing.
Even if Lian Dao were to rearrange this year's draft, Lian Dao would definitely put Green in the top three.
Draymond Green entered the NCAA in the same year as Lian Dao.
Historically, the University of Michigan where he attended was the main culprit in eliminating the University of Southern California.
However, in this life, the University of Southern California is even stronger.
Moreover, Lian Dao made 8 of 16 goals in March Madness and defeated the Michigan State Spartans.
At that time, Draymond Green, as a rookie, only came on as a substitute and did not have much playing time.
Among them, Lian Dao only played against Draymond Green briefly.
But this does not affect his appreciation of Draymond Green.
Especially historically, as a short inside man, Draymond Green's defensive strength has made opponents miserable.
Tough and ferocious defense, like a hyena that bites to death.
This also makes all players dare not underestimate this short inside player who is only 1.98 meters tall.
Of course, the evaluation of Draymond Green in later generations is also mixed.
Some people say that his defensive moves are "dirty", and Lian Dao cannot deny this.
In his previous life, Lian Dao also hated Draymond Green's dirty moves when he was watching a Warriors game.
But as a player in this life, Lian Dao hopes that such players will become teammates.
Every legend will have helpers around him.
For example, Rodman was next to Michael Jordan, Bowen and Horry were next to GDP, Metta Shiping was next to Kobe Bryant in 2009, etc.
Apart from his dirty moves, Green is still very strong.
You can call him dirty, but you can never call him dishonest.
Green is very controversial, and another reason is his big mouth.
In many cases, Green is more like a combination of Ben and Rodman.
Not only did he not give in an inch when defending, but he also couldn't lose at all in terms of momentum.
Although many of his actions and remarks have been criticized by some fans, as many commentators and coaches have said, he is the kind of player that his team loves to death and other teams hate to death.
The fact that he was selected to the All-Stars three times as a substitute has proven his strength and his weight in the coach's mind.
Judging from the historical development process, the Golden State Warriors will select this older rookie from Michigan State with the 35th overall pick.
However, Lian Dao does not intend to let the Warriors draft Green.
So he only wrote one name on his recommendation list for Donny Walsh.
He recalled the surprised looks in his junior sister's and Donnie Wash's eyes when he wrote down Draymond Green's name.
However, Lian Dao didn't want to explain anything, he just said, "He is the hidden pearl in this draft"!
The two of them didn't ask further questions. The young senior sister and Donnie Wash still agreed very much with Lian Dao's vision in selecting people.
"Then should we trade up the pick?"
Donnie Wash asked a little worriedly.
After Donnie Wash sat down, he thought that he had only written down one player's name and not even a reserve list, which would be a bit troublesome if someone were to select him in advance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Well...if we have chips, we can trade upward!"
Lian Dao thought for a moment and said.
Since Draymond Green is an older rookie and his talent is not that outstanding, his draft prediction is not very high.
Otherwise, history would never have been drafted by the Warriors in the second round.
Even in this life, the draft prediction given by draft experts is still the second round.
However, considering the butterfly effect he brought about, Lian Dao still wanted to be on the safe side.
"I have the chips...but..."
Donnie Wash smiled awkwardly.
"But the managers of some teams don't want to trade draft picks with us, and those who are willing to trade are the Lions, so..."
Donnie Wash said, spreading his hands helplessly.
Lian Dao glanced at Donnie Walsh speechlessly.
Then you have no fucking way to trade upwards, so why are you asking?
Donnie Wash saw the look in Lian Dao's eyes and realized that he seemed to be asking a mentally retarded question.
So I felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly analyzed and explained.
"However, no one should compete with us. After all, Draymond Green's draft prediction is in the early second round!"
Lian Dao also nodded to this.
Although the Knicks picked him late, he was still the 30th pick in the first round.
If you choose Draymond Green, you should have it in hand.
…
But there is an engineer in the United States who likes to talk nonsense when he has nothing to do. Murphy said something:
"If something could have been otherwise, no matter how small the possibility, it would have happened."
then……
"The 29th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2012, the Golden State Warriors' choice was..."
"Draymond Green!"
When David Stern called out Draymond Green's name, there was sparse applause from the audience.
Draymond Green himself looked incredulous, even a little confused.
He originally thought he was destined to be a second-round pick, but he didn't expect the joy to come from heaven.
He didn't react until his friends around him reminded him.
After standing up and hugging my mother and friends, I walked to the stage with excitement...
"Walter?!"
"What the hell!"
Lian Dao was surprised, why did the Golden State Warriors choose Green with the 29th pick.
Now Lian Dao's mind is filled with questions.
Could it be that his arrival has brought about such a big butterfly effect?
Lian Dao knew that the Golden State Warriors had a first-round pick No. 29, which was acquired from the Spurs when they traded for Stephen Jackson.
But at this draft position, shouldn't they choose Festus Ezeli?
