The Rest, Only Noise

"Expedition, except for the top three favorites, among the remaining people, who do you think is the best?"

Louis asked bluntly.

Zhao Yuanzheng was not sure, he shook his head and said, "Judging from their combat power and talent, it seems that there is no obvious excess."

That's where the 1990 draft was tough.

It's no use having draft picks alone, you have to pick the right person.

However, at a glance, Louie saw that many unfamiliar names and even many draft lists in the 1980s did not give him such an unfamiliar feeling.

It can be seen that there are not many stars produced in this draft.

Not only are there no stars, but even well-known role players are rarely seen.

"What we need is a No. 1 substitute and a No. 5 substitute, let's talk about who is suitable."

"Gary Payton."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Yuanzheng calmed down the scene with a joke, but he really couldn't think of who would be suitable for this draft.

"Perhaps, Kendall Gill?"

Louie immediately opened Gill's scouting report and found his game video.

Jill is a typical No. 2, and after Zhao Yuanzheng mentioned him, Louis felt inexplicably familiar.

While he can't recall a specific story about Gill, it's certain that the player must have been active into the new century.

Louie opened Gill's scouting report, which clearly reads: A mature second position, with a lethal jumper, a defense that destroys everything, but a hot personality, I don't know if I can transition college-level skills to the NBA.

Louie decides to watch Gill's game tape.

In the video, Gill's style is more clearly shown in front of Louis.

He reminded Louie of another man—Larry Hughes.

Letting go of the brush has the ability to average 20 points per game, and try hard to defend and have the opportunity to make a defense, but in general, it is a team lubricant whose defense is greater than offense.

Jill's offensive skills are better than Hughes. Hughes entered the first defense in the last year of hand-checking. From the video, Jill has good potential. I don't know if he can enter the defense, but the defense must be above the standard. .

"He shouldn't fall out of the top six picks." Zhao Yuanzheng reminded.

What he means is that if you want to choose him, you have to plan ahead.

The Knicks only have the eighth overall pick, and it's not easy to pick Gill.

And, what they really need is a 1 and a 5, not a defensively sharp 2.

They have too much talent at the second position.

Since Jill's market is higher than their lottery, Louis can only put him down.

After that, Louie and Zhao Yuanzheng discussed Dennis Scott, the most-watched wing in this draft.

They discussed it on video in front of the TV.

Zhao Yuanzheng believes that seedlings like Scott are relatively safe.

The thing is, he's safe to be safe, but the ceiling isn't high.

Louie had heard Scott's name before he entered college.

In 1987, he was ranked No. 2 in the nation by USA Today on the high school basketball player list.

This person's shooting ability is strong, and when he comes to the NBA, it is not difficult to develop a three-point range, but other than that, there are no other qualities that make people shine.

The pair then discussed Felton Spencer, the biggest lottery favorite.

This person is from the University of Louisville, and takes over the parallel import senior Pevis Ellison.

It's the one who claims to be never nervous.

Because his senior, Louie, had a prejudice against Spencer from the beginning, and Zhao Yuanzheng was not optimistic about his development in the NBA. Players like this, you can find a bunch of them in free agency, even with second-round picks.

They skipped one after another.

Louie found the draft so difficult for the first time.

That's why he hasn't personally inspected college players for a long time.

The greater his position in the Knicks, the more he will be handed over to his subordinates to scout college students. Gradually, he also knew very little about college basketball.

Louie almost came up with the idea of ​​trading the eighth pick.

Until he sees the next scouting report.

A resounding name entered Louie's sight: Lionel Simmons ().

Simmons is the all-time leading scorer in the Big Five and fourth in NCAA history with 3,217 career points. And, he was the 1989-90 Associated Press Player of the Year, a two-time All-American, and a recipient of this year's Wooden and Naismith Awards.

"What do you think of him?"

"Uh... there may be only one problem." Zhao Yuanzheng also felt that with the signing in the hands of the Knicks, this person was the most suitable candidate.

"He doesn't play point guard and he's not a center."

Louie said with a smile: "It's okay, our team has always had a tradition of letting those versatile small forwards play the point."

Zhao Yuanzheng accompanied Louis to watch the video of Simmons' game, although only fast forward to watch half of the game was enough to make the latter make up his mind.

Zhao Yuanzheng was sure that Louis took a fancy to Simmons.

There is variety in Simmons that Louis loves.

To Louie, a multi-player is better than a one-player; a swingman who can play multiple positions is more attractive than a top player who is fixed in one position.

A coaching style like him, who likes to play long rotations, likes to assemble all kinds of bizarre lineups.

And this is a unique advantage for the swingman.

"It seems that our first candidate has been decided." Zhao Yuanzheng said with a smile.

"Yes, it's settled."

This year's lottery team starts with the No. 1 pick, which are the Seattle SuperSonics, New Jersey Nets (the pick belongs to the Warriors), Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Charlotte Hornets, Orlando Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks , Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks.

The Clippers, who got the third overall pick, seem dissatisfied with the situation where they can only choose Chris Jackson.

They've been touting the No. 3 pick since the day the Finals ended.

The Lakers once wanted to trade KJ for the Clippers' third overall pick, but Clippers owner Sterling called off the deal because KJ had mocked him in public.

This is a good thing for all three parties.

Because West fell in love with Jackson, he believed that the latter's shooting skills could make the tragic teacher get out of the predicament, but the logo man didn't know that the latter's belief problem made him a bigger trouble than kj; The traditional curse of the death of many geniuses in the history of the team, if KJ comes to the team, it is estimated that it will not last a few days; and joining the Clippers is also the darkest moment of his career for KJ himself.

So what Sterling saved was the future of both teams and the best point guard of the '90s.

Sterling disliked Jackson, and their general manager, Earl Monroe, had heard about the latter's quirks and was terrified of it.

Just when Louie was thinking about who this pick would go to, Miami's smartness jumped out.

Lewis Shaffield traded Brian Shaw with the 1992, 1994, and 1996 first-round picks for the Los Angeles Clippers' first-round pick.

"what are you doing?"

Louis couldn't help but call.

"Coach Lu, is it right to choose Chris Jackson with the third pick?!"

Shafir excitedly asked ~www.novelmt.com~ you wait..." Louis was dizzy, "Tell me first, which genius made this transaction plan for you? "

Shafir said with a smile: "It's the proposal of our deputy general manager, Mr. Stu Inman!"

Stu Inman? Such a familiar name!

It was probably that Louie hadn't heard the name for a long time, and when he thought about it, the memory in his mind appeared - not the one who built the Trail Blazers champion team, but missed Moses Malone, Larry Bird, and almost at the same time. The odd man who took Sam Bowie with the second overall pick in 1984?

Does he work with the Heat now?

Still come up with this plan to trade the third pick? Just to get a Chris Jackson with terribly bad intangibles?

Louie thought to himself, was this Inman's plan to bring Shafir down on purpose?

Because a player like Jackson is not under the control of an ordinary coach, if he is in the water, the Heat will be very dangerous in the next few years.

And this mistake was enough to trigger intense public opinion to force Shafir to step down.

This is just Louie's guess. He doesn't know what's going on in Miami, but now, he must calm Shafir.

"No, you can't pick Chris Jackson."

In order to give Shafir a deep understanding of why they couldn't draft Jackson, Louie explained the latter's problems, what it takes to develop such a player, and why Miami couldn't train him to be a talent.

"have you understood?"

"I understand, I understand, but... If I don't choose him, who will I choose?"

"Do you want to hear my opinion?"

"Think! I need your opinion so much! Coach Lu, you are my superman!"
