I am so Accurate

Chapter 569 2008 NBA Draft

In NBA history, there are very few guards who have been elected as the No. 1 pick, and point guards are even rarer.

Before that, only four people could do it, Oscar Robertson, John Lucas II, "Magic" Johnson, and Allen Iverson.

Now, Rose has a good chance of being the fifth.

Of course, this may depend on how the Grizzlies choose.

Well, when the fans were so bad that they were almost desperate, and even if Zach Randolph was traded, there was no improvement, the Grizzlies finally "European" once and got their coveted No. 1 lottery.

This is also the first No. 1 pick in the history of the Grizzlies.

All Memphis fans are looking forward to this No. 1 pick to save them.

Some people may say that Memphis is not a big city, and the Grizzlies are not well-known and have no team history. Whoever goes to such a city is unlucky.

This is indeed true, but James' success in Denver this year has changed many people's views.

As information becomes more and more developed, for players, the gap between big and small cities is narrowing.

More importantly, how cool it is to lead a team that has never been successful to win the championship. Sun Hao and James have successively demonstrated.

So for the players, what is lost must be gained, and it is not necessarily all bad things.

And this year's talent show is very special, because TNT invited Sun Hao to be a commentator on the spot, and Scarlett also hopes that Sun Hao can go out for a walk.

Now she has basically passed the critical period, and Sun Hao has been bored at home, and she is also afraid that Sun Hao will get sick from boredom.

Ever since, before the start of the draft, the media had already started reporting that Sun Hao would appear in the draft.

This will also be Sun Hao's first public appearance after retiring!

There was a blast on social media.

This news is as explosive as James winning the championship.

No way, this is Sun Hao's influence.

On the evening of June 27, Madison Square Garden, the arena that can accommodate 20,000 people was full.

This scene is probably the first time in NBA history.

After all, I've seen a full game, a full All-Star, and a full draft. It's been a long time.

And TNT really worked hard this time, besides Sun Hao, they also invited Jordan.

This year's starlight in the commentary booth is much stronger than that of the draft below.

When Sun Hao entered the venue, the cheers on the scene had already exploded once.

Although his body looks a little fat because he hasn't played for a year, he still can't hold back the fans' yearning for him.

When going to the commentary booth, Sun Hao and Jordan had already chatted happily.

That's how people are. If you haven't seen each other for a while, there will always be a lot more topics to talk about.

What's more, they are both retired.

When the commentary seat was seated, Sun Hao was also full of freshness.

After all, from the perspective of the commentary seat, it is also the first time for him to be a flower girl in a sedan chair.

And the view from this location is really good.

Turning your head slightly to the left is the stage, and turning your head slightly to the right is the small green house, which is an excellent experience.

He suddenly felt that after completely retiring in the future, being a guest commentator would be a very good job.

While chatting with Jordan and the others, he looked towards the little green house.

This year's draft, from the perspective of his time traveler, should be the "biggest" year since 2003.

When he looked over, he saw that Beasley was also looking towards the commentary booth, and he reached out to say hello.

Sun Hao also reached out to greet him, and then chatted with Jordan and the others for a while about Beasley.

The guy who was pulled by him to be a strong man and trained defensive badges, Durant's friend, has not changed much from history.

He is also considered the only one in this draft who may have an impact on Rose's No. 1 pick.

Beasley's performance in the NCAA is very similar to that of Anthony back then, and the statistics may be even better.

Averaged 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds per game.

Of course, this is just stats, and Beasley's talent is still worse than Anthony's.

Although both of them are excellent in offensive ability, Beasley can't count as an offensive kaleidoscope, because his offensive methods on the weak hand side are actually not strong.

In other words, when defending against him, defend against his strong side, the effect will be obvious.

This is why you see that both of them are very strong, but the threat on the court, Beasley is always almost meaningless.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the position and golf quotient.

Like Durant, he played the 4th or even the 5th position in college, but his shooting is very accurate, which allows him to play the 3rd or even the 2nd position in the NBA.

The same is true for Anthony, who swings at the third and fourth positions in the NCAA, and can immediately become a pure third position in the NBA.

But Beasley is different. Beasley played a standard four position in college, and many of his points relied on his skills at the basket.

The height of 2.08 meters is unsolvable in the NCAA, but in the NBA, it is a bit disadvantageous to play the fourth position.

As for swinging to the 3rd position, his offensive and defensive speed is relatively poor, a typical "no three no four" type.

Then there's the question of his golf IQ.

He is actually very similar to another player, Kyrie Irving.

The offensive ability is very strong, but it is difficult to get the ball out of their hands.

This type of player is easy to play beautiful statistics and is also good to watch, but they are often unable to lead the team to victory.

Not to mention other things, as long as you have played the ball, you will feel as uncomfortable as you encounter a teammate who can't get out after passing the ball.

Once he fails to score, you will instantly feel like you don't want to play.

Of course, these are all obtained by Sun Hao, a traveler, looking back on Beasley's career with a future perspective.

The current Beasley has outstanding talent and is known as the next Anthony, with a promising future.

And the same person will develop differently in different environments.

In history, Beasley went to the Heat, but now that the Heat are still a playoff team, his career trajectory will definitely change.

In addition to Rose and Beasley, there are many future players in the Green House.

OJ Mayo, Westbrook, Love, Gallinari, Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez, Robin Lopez...

Those who are not in the small green house, Roy Hibbert, McGee, Ibaka, Batum, Jordan Jr., Pekovic, Asik, Dragic...

This is definitely the season where the NBA's success rate has exploded.

"Who do you think the Memphis Grizzlies will pick this year?"

"Derek Rose."

Sun Hao and Jordan almost spoke in unison.

There is no question of who's perspective on this issue.

Just like last year, no matter who gets the No. 1 pick, he will choose Oden. This year, no matter who gets the No. 1 pick, he will basically choose Rose.

In the first year of the NCAA, he led the University of Memphis to an astonishing 33 wins and 1 loss in the tournament, and led the team to the NCAA finals in "March Madness".

You must know that the University of Memphis is not considered the top school like North Carolina and Duke. The only player in team history who has entered the NBA as a superstar is "Penny" Hardaway.

Besides, among Rose's teammates, only Chris Douglas Roberts and Joey Dorsey can be considered strong.

So just listening to this resume, you can feel how awesome this person is.

Not to mention that anyone who has watched him play in college knows how shocking Rose's performance on the court is.

In fact, it should be said that Rose's college experience is very similar to Zion Williamson in the future.

Before entering college, neither was the most favored.

Rose's most promising player in the same class is No. 1 high school student OJ Mayo, and Williamson's most promising player in the same class is RJ Barrett.

But they all used a year of college time to convince everyone.

And OJ Mayo, like Barrett, was very hip in college.

So sometimes when you look carefully at the NBA draft, you will find that many stories are actually repeated.

Speaking of Rose, another important reason why Sun Hao and Jordan have the same views is because of this year's No. 1 pick.

The team holding the No. 1 pick this year is the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies are the Memphis team!

Just like in history, if the No. 1 pick in 2009 was drawn by the Thunder, the Thunder would definitely choose Griffin.

The influence of the NCAA in a city is greater than that of the NBA.

Of course, another reason why Jordan supports Rose is because Rose himself is also a Chicago native.

In history, Jordan can say "If Ross is not injured, he can win 6 championships".

They were chatting when Stern came out backstage.

There was still a burst of enthusiastic boos, but what was different about Stern this time was that he unconsciously glanced at the commentary booth when he came out.

He also hasn't seen Sun Hao for almost a year.

Seeing Sun Hao's slightly fat body, but not too fat, the stone in his heart dropped a little.

It was still the familiar opening remarks, and then the first pick was announced, followed by five minutes of waiting time.

In five minutes, Stern walked from behind the scenes to the stage and announced the final ownership.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2008, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Derrick Rose, a 1.91 meter point guard, from the University of Memphis."

The moment Stern announced the result, the audience cheered loudly.

Many of those present tonight were Memphis fans who had been waiting for this moment for more than two months.

What could be more exciting for them than being an "urban hero" in Memphis!

Sun Hao also thought of the Grizzlies lineup at this time. Although Battier was a bit regretful to leave, but Rose plus Mike Miller, Rudy Gay, plus Randolph, Gasol Jr. will be in the NBA next season .

With a little operation, the rise of the Grizzlies is only faster than the Bulls in history!

Interesting.

The second pick belongs to the Knicks.

The Knicks ended up picking Beasley.

This choice is not surprising. Compared with Mayo, Beasley's immediate combat power is better.

Like the Grizzlies, the Knicks have been sinking for many years, and they need a talent to save them right away.

After Sun Hao saw it, he couldn't help but smacked his mouth.

New York is more luxurious than Los Angeles. For a player like Beasley, going there may not be a good thing.

The third pick belongs to the Sonics.

"Will Seattle draft OJ Mayo?"

Barkley also raised a new question.

Jordan nodded.

In the previous draft predictions, Mayo was basically either second or third.

And there is a short story that Mayo was so famous in high school that he and Jordan had singled out.

Jordan also quite recognized Mayo's talent, so it's not surprising that Jordan thinks so.

Sun Hao also felt that the Supersonics had a good chance of picking Mayo, but it might be that he had a deep impression of the Thunder's third young master in his previous life, so he shook his head.

"I think they're going to take Russell Westbrook."

Sun Hao said.

"Are you serious? That guy was a backup in college, and I admit he's talented, but he's no match for OJ."

Buckley asked back.

"You're right, but that's my hunch."

What Barkley said is indeed correct. Westbrook was a substitute for Darren Collison in college.

So Sun Hao is not sure, after all, history has changed.

If it were someone else, even Smith, Barkley would have to take a gamble.

But Sun Hao, he nodded in approval.

After a while, Stern came out and announced the Thunder's final result.

With a point guard of 1.91 meters, the Sonics chose Russell Westbrook!

This result caused a commotion at the scene.

As Barkley thought, the Sonics' choice was a bit of a surprise.

Jordan on the side touched his chin at this moment and looked at Sun Hao, wondering what he was thinking.

Sun Hao laughed out loud when he heard the result.

Because in his mind, the stalk of the eldest brother, second brother and third brother has unconsciously popped up.

Now the eldest brother did not go to Chengcheng Seattle, but the second brother still went. I don’t know if the third brother will go next year.

If it really goes, Jeff Green will be the big brother, and he can barely make up the third young man, which is also quite interesting.

The Cavaliers with the fourth pick selected OJ Mayo.

The Cleveland fans at the scene cheered.

The Supersonics did not choose Mayo, and they picked up a big leak in this wave.

And Mayo also meets their requirements.

Counting the selection of Nick Young, who performed well last season.

They now have Mayo and Young on the outside, Bargnani and Milicic on the inside, relying on the accumulation of talent over the years, they have also accumulated a good lineup.

Of course, only in theory.

Because Mayo put on a big stinky face when he came on stage.

Before the start of the draft, Mayo threatened to go to a big city, and flirted with the Knicks several times.

Now going to a place like Cleveland, where the birds don't shit, one can imagine his mood.

The Timberwolves selected Kevin Love with the fifth overall pick.

Before the pick started, Barkley once again asked Sun Hao and Jordan to guess who they would pick.

Sun Hao guessed Gallinari.

This time he guessed wrong.

In fact, Sun Hao also watched this draft because of Rose in his previous life.

And in his last life, he didn't understand why the Timberwolves chose Mayo and wanted to change Love.

You must know that the Timberwolves also had Al Jefferson at that time, so there is no reason to ask Love.

Some people will say that Love can open up space!

That's not the case. Love has no range in the early stage. Like Jefferson, he is also a low post.

Of course, no one can guess so clearly about the management.

Sun Hao and Jordan continued to chat, and the on-site draft also continued.

The Hawks selected Gallinari with the sixth overall pick;

Houston took Eric Gordon with the seventh overall pick;

The Bucks with the eighth pick selected "Chinese Boy" Joe Alexander;

The Bobcats selected DJ Augustin with the ninth overall pick;

The Nets with the tenth pick selected their coveted insider Brook Lopez;

...

Soon, the lottery picks were almost done.

At this moment, Sun Hao's phone vibrated.

I took a look, it was sent by Jordan!

It may be because Sun Hao accurately guessed the Supersonic team earlier, Jordan is thinking of Sun Hao's ability in the draft.

This year's Wizards draft pick is the best in recent years, the 19th pick, who should be selected.

At this time, some people may say that the Lakers had almost the same pick last season.

That's right, Wizards 19, Lakers 20.

However, this year's Lakers draft did not ask Sun Hao.

At this time, I have to mention the Bass family, because after the end of last season, there have been great changes within the Bass family.
