Bishop of the Devil

Obviously McCollum is not the kind of player Richard is looking for.

Unless Richard can develop some organizational skills in McCollum during his rookie season, otherwise, even if the Clippers come to Rondo, they still don't have enough people at the No. 1 position.

Not to mention, Richard really has this idea now and wants to cultivate McCollum's organizational skills.

As one of the pioneers of later generations, McCollum's halo is not as shining as Lillard's. However, McCollum is younger than Lillard, and his performance in many key situations is not worse than Lillard's. A good player.

As for organizational skills, Richard is still confident that he can develop them. Even Sun Yue can develop certain organizational skills, but there is no reason why McCollum can't.

…

McCollum is actually a legend in the NBA. You must know that when he was just in high school, his height was only 158cm!

What kind of concept is this? When ordinary people go to high school, their height is more than 158 centimeters.

What people didn't expect was that in less than four years, this guy had grown by more than 30 centimeters...

Next, with the 11th pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected McAway.

If you want to talk about the rookies in NBA history who started high but failed, then it must be the player McAway, who is also a very topical player.

After the Philadelphia 76ers drafted McAway, the Thunder used the 12th pick they traded to select Steven Adams.

It made Richard sigh. It was indeed a pity that he missed Ya Dan, a selfless and high-quality insider.

Next, the Mavericks selected Olynyk with the 13th pick, which is also strange.

McCollum has grown more than 30 centimeters in more than three years, which is acceptable, but Olynyk has grown 18 centimeters in just one year, which is really unexplainable.

At first, Olynyk played as a point guard, but as his height continued to change, he was directly moved from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position...

It is worth mentioning that Olynyk was also selected to the All-American First Team by the National Basketball Writers Association.

From this we can see how nonsense these writers are...

We can also see how strange it is for the Cavaliers to choose Bennett.

Olynyk was a first-team All-American, but ended up on the edge of the lottery. Bennett was only a first-team All-American freshman, but ended up being the No. 1 pick...

Richard laughed, sometimes things are so wonderful, no one knows what their future destiny will be.

Maybe you thought your future was in jeopardy, but God directly sent you a big pie.

…

After the first 13 picks were selected, the Jazz's 14th pick came next.

Richard wrote Giannis Antetokounmpo's name on the note...

Because the name was so long, the front of the note was not finished, so Richard added a few more letters on the back.

If you look at the Chinese name, Antetokounmpo's name is actually not particularly exaggerated, but if you look at the English name, it is really a bit exaggerated.

Giannis-Antetokounmpo is dizzying to watch.

Fans who are familiar with the Chinese CBA League may know that China also has an Antetokounmpo, that is Abdusalamu Abdulresiti. His full English spelling is Ah-BOO-Doo-Shah-LAH-Moo Ah- BOO-Doo-Rex-EE-Tee…

With such a long name, it's a good thing he didn't enter the NBA. If he had entered the NBA, it would probably make Barkley's commentators collapse.

"I announce that the Utah Jazz selected Giannis Antetokounmpo from Athens, Greece, with the 14th pick in the first round..." Xiao Hua felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, he specifically asked how to pronounce the name before. Otherwise, if he had to read it directly, he would probably make a fool of himself because he really couldn't pronounce it...

…

Seeing Richard choose Antetokounmpo, everyone in the audience nodded. They could understand Richard's choice.

The Clippers just sold Al Horford before, and now they have acquired this 6-foot-11 European big man. He heard that he has good physical fitness. It seems that Richard must be thinking of using him to replace Horford.

…

Both McCollum and Antetokounmpo got it successfully, and Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, the Bucks selected Shabazz Muhammad with the 15th pick in their hands.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Richard to take action again.

Richard was a little embarrassed because he was going to choose Gobert next, and he didn't know if the Jazz would collapse immediately when they saw that they had chosen their favorite player.

"I announce that the Boston Celtics have selected Rudy Gobert from Saint-Quentin, France, with the 16th overall pick in the first round."

Everyone in the audience smiled slightly. Richard was still the same Richard. He preferred big players. With the three first-round picks in his hands this year, he directly selected two big men...

…

Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin was dumbfounded.

Rudy Gobert? Isn't this the player they plan to select with the 27th pick? Why was he chosen by Green Kai?

No, to be precise, why was it taken away by Richard? !

For a moment, Corbin was completely panicked. They did not expect this situation.

In their view, Gobert's pick is too tight, which is the 27th pick in the first round. It is impossible for a team with a higher pick to be interested in this humble player.

It is true that Gobert's height and wingspan are really outstanding. There is absolutely no fault in this aspect. It can be said to be at a historical level.

But while having good height and wingspan, Gobert also has some problems that cannot be ignored, such as slow speed and small tonnage...

Although the tonnage is more than 20 pounds smaller than Adams, the speed is actually much worse than Adams.

There are countless players with outstanding height and wingspan in NBA history, but how many can actually play well?

In addition, Gobert's performance in a league like Ligue 1 has not reached the point of dominating the league, and his draft pick will definitely not be much higher.

The Jazz were full of confidence and were waiting to take Gobert with the 27th pick. What they never expected was that Richard intercepted Hu with the 16th pick.

Eleven picks higher than predicted, almost entering the lottery. The Jazz couldn't figure out what happened. Why did Richard choose the humble Gobert with this pick?

Could it be that Richard had tried out Gobert before? It's completely impossible. Richard hasn't tried out a newcomer in how many years?

To be precise, in the twenty years since Richard entered the league, he has actually tried out new players once, but it turned out that it was just to trick people.

Tyrone Corbin doesn't know what to do now. They had a sure chance of victory, but they didn't consider any alternatives.

In the end, they had no choice but to use the two draft picks they got from Richard based on ESPN's predictions and their previous trials.
