Chapter 680 2015 NBA Draft (Second Update!)
Because the contract salary is still being negotiated, the Pelicans have not made an official announcement, but after Woj reported, the news is almost inseparable.
D'Antoni is also pretty good.
In Tang Tian's plan, the new season has the idea of improving his passing ability. D'Antoni's arrival can just strengthen this aspect.
The two insiders, Jokic and Davis, both had three-pointers.
I have also played against D'Antoni and the Rockets as opponents in my previous life. Now I have the opportunity to experience the magic ball for myself, and I am quite looking forward to it.
Negotiating a contract doesn't happen overnight.
The salary talks between D'Antoni and the Pelicans have not yet finished, and the 2015 NBA Draft has arrived.
The lottery ceremony was completed in the second round of the playoffs last season, and the lottery picks were also announced.
The No. 1 pick was drawn by the Timberwolves, who had the worst record last season.
The second pick belongs to the Nets.
The Nets ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference last season, and the probability of getting the top three picks is not high.
But their boss, Prokhorov, showed his magic hand.
Although many fans complained that the league once again dominated the lottery results, after experiencing the Billy King era, they finally had a chance to turn around.
The No. 3 pick belongs to the 76ers.
The lottery picks from 4th to 14th are: Kings, Suns, Nuggets, Magic, Pistons, Jazz, Hornets, Mavericks, Heat, Pacers, Thunder.
The Pelicans have only one pick this year, the 28th pick in the first round.
On the day of the draft, Tang Tian, Demps and Lausha went to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Because of the experience of last year, Tang Tian seemed much more natural this year, and even the media felt a little familiar with it.
The Pelicans don't mind the outside world interfering with the management at all, and the fans and the media naturally don't care.
When going to the draft room, Tang Tian saw the popular rookie sitting in the small green room.
He has played in the league for four years, and those who played against each other in the NCAA have basically graduated. At this time, it is more strange.
There are 19 people in the lottery quota for 14 people, and 5 people are destined to fall out of the lottery.
Among these 19 people, only a few three or four people caught his attention.
Towns, Woj has already revealed that after a separate trial, he has squeezed out Okafor to become the No. 1 pick.
Mudiay, according to the rules of the league, players who graduated from high school must have studied in the NCAA for one year or played in overseas leagues before they can participate in the draft. Mudiay did not play in the NCAA, but chose to play in the Chinese CBA for a year.
Bobby Portis, this is the only one who entered the small green room among the people Tang Tian asked Dempsey to try out.
Portis has excellent scoring ability, and his wingspan is excellent and his defense is not bad, especially as a big man with outstanding three-point shooting ability.
He was also Tang Tian's favorite candidate after discussing with Dempsey.
Of course, his current draft prediction is around 20th overall. Whether he can be selected is another matter.
Because the draft is relatively late, after arriving at the draft cabin, Demps began to get busy.
He is seizing the last time to trade up draft picks and look for some potential reinforcement trading solutions.
There are two time nodes in the NBA where transactions occur frequently, one is the trade deadline, and the other is the draft.
Dempsey is still busy here, and the draft has already started there.
When Xiao Hua came out of the backstage, there were endless boos.
Davis was sent off in the Western Conference finals last season, and the Cavaliers were forced to win a game in the finals, including the referee report issued before, all of which became his black spots.
The fans usually don't have a chance, but now they are really booing to death when they seize the opportunity.
However, Xiao Hua has been the president for two years, and he is already used to this.
After laughing, he started the familiar opening speech, and then announced the start of the draft.
The Timberwolves fans at the scene were very excited at this time. They got two champions last year through the Love trade, and they won another champion this year. The team's talent is exploding.
Five minutes later, Xiao Hua came out from the backstage and announced the ownership of the No. 1 lottery.
Like the news that broke out before, Towns was successfully selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NBA.
Downs, Wiggins, LaVine, Rubio, Bennett, the Timberwolves are full of talent, and the fans are looking forward to the new season.
Downs was successfully elected as the No. 1 pick, and whoever can become the No. 2 has become the focus of attention.
Is it Okafor, who had a high voice for the top pick before, or Russell, who has excellent breakthrough ability, or Towns' teammate Cauley Stan.
Because the Nets' center Lopez and the team's contract expired, everything is possible.
Five minutes later, Xiao Hua appeared at the front desk again, and he announced the final choice of the Nets.
"NBA No. 2 pick in 2015, Brooklyn Nets select D'Angelo Russell, 1.96-meter point guard from Ohio State University."
After Xiao Hua announced the result, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Barclays Center is home to the Nets.
This option is also the best for the Nets.
Deron is no good at all. According to the previous news, the Nets will probably use the extension clause to buy him out, and Russell just takes the position.
And in this way, they can renew Lopez's contract. As long as they trade for another No. 2 position, they will be competitive in the East again.
New Nets general manager Sean Marx is clearly capable.
The draft is still going on, and the 76ers selected the best player left, Okafor from Duke University.
The Kings took Cauley-Stein with the fourth overall pick.
With the fifth overall pick, the Suns chose Latvia's Porzingis, who was picked up by the Rockets.
The Nuggets selected Mudiay with the sixth overall pick.
It is worth mentioning that Mudiay opened his suit when he stepped off the stage, revealing the Chinese flag inside.
This scene made many fans watching the draft in China very excited.
Although he is an American, he has an inexplicable sense of pride.
That kind of feeling is like saying that this is a Chinese-made defender.
...
Silver came out from behind the stage for the 11th time, holding the Mavericks' final selection in his hand.
The Mavericks took a gamble on Embiid last year, but Embiid was reimbursed for the season. Although the team worked hard, they still failed to make the playoffs.
In the end, I was able to get the 11th pick, thanks to the strength of the Western Conference last season.
For the three 60+ teams, the record of the following teams is naturally poor, and the pick will become higher accordingly.
"With the 11th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2015, the Dallas Mavericks chose Devin Booker, a 1.98-meter shooting guard from the University of Kentucky."
Kentucky is full of talent this year, but in the end it stopped in the Final Four.
However, this did not affect their draft prices. The team's Big Three, Towns, Stan and Booker were all selected in the lottery.
Booker has good scoring ability in the NCAA, but his physical talent is average. It is very lucky to be selected in this pick.
He smiled and took the Mavericks hat and rushed to the field.
