Chapter 110 The draft is over
"I announce that the Utah Jazz chooses Greg Ostertag from the University of Kansas with the 28th pick in the first round." Stern announced the 28th pick on stage.
Davidson handed the note that had been prepared long ago to the Nets.
"I announce that the New Jersey Nets chose Eric Snow from Michigan State with the 29th pick in the first round."
Old Nelson was stunned. He didn't expect Snow to be selected in the first round.
Not only Old Nelson, many people at the scene were laughing dullly. It seemed that Davidson's vision was just that...
Among the previous few draft predictions, the best thing about Eric Snow is around the middle of the second round, and there are even some draft predictions that do not have his name at all.
The No. 1 player with a height of 191 cm has good physical fitness, but his offensive ability is a bit speechless.
Not to mention three-pointers, he didn't even make accurate shots in the mid-range shots.
Many teams at the scene have tried out Eric Snow and are very disappointed.
Although the number one player’s demand for offensive ability is not as high as the number two or three, you can’t be without it…
Davidson naturally also knew Snow's characteristics, and the player manual said it clearly.
Offensive ability is almost equivalent to a blue-collar center, with medium-sized organizational ability and top-notch defensive ability.
What Davidson values is Snow's defensive ability. If he can be rated as the top defense by the club, he must be selected as the best defensive lineup.
Even if such a player is poor in offensive ability, he will definitely not lose money if he can choose a 29-plus draft pick.
"Child, is it the meaning of Eric Snow that Old Chuck?" Old Nelson asked with a smile.
Davidson shook his head, "This is what I mean."
"Well, you're really the same as that guy Old Chuck."
Old Nelson actually knew that Snow had good defensive potential, but he looked down on such a player who had no offensive ability.
In his opinion, Chuck Daly, who likes to build an iron-blooded defensive system, prefers such players.
Unexpectedly, it was Davidson's own choice.
The same thing, if it weren't for the wrong skin color, Old Nelson even thought Davidson was Chuck Daly's illegitimate son.
These two have so much in common...
The first round draft ended, and in the next round, the Kings still had a draft pick with 42 picks.
Davidson will naturally choose Bartle.
"I announce that the King of Sacramento chose Monk Batel from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China with the 42nd pick in the second round!"
As soon as Stern finished speaking, a prompt sound rang in Davidson's mind.
"Binding the second-born player successfully!"
Davidson breathed a sigh of relief and his own plan for this draft was fully achieved.
There was no situation where people were intercepted.
Thinking about it, it is impossible to be intercepted by others. Snow is not favored by others. Davidson was shocked by the first round of picks.
And Bartel's choice is even more jaw-dropping.
Most of the people at the scene didn't even know who this Bartel was...
Chinese player? Davidson is afraid that he is not crazy. There are so many local players who actually chose a Chinese player.
Larry Brown and Pat Riley both laughed. If Davidson hadn't been too ruthless in his quarrel, they might have started to laugh at him now.
They didn't speak now, and they were not afraid of Davidson, but they felt that they had a quarrel with Davidson, which was a bit of a loss...
...
After Bartel was selected, Davidson began to think about the Kings' lineup next season.
There is no doubt that Murraysan and Battel will be the Kings' inside double towers in the new season.
The Kings are good at the second and third positions.
No. 2 Richmond, who has no need to say much about his strength, has been selected into the best team for the first-tier and has been a member of the All-Star player for several years. Last season, the All-Star won the MVP.
As for Walter Williams at the third position, he was the Kings' No. 2 scorer last season, and his strength was stronger than that of the Nets' Chris Morris. He averaged 16.4 points per game, was 203 cm tall, had three-pointers and defense, and may not be as good as Jaylen Ross, but the gap was not big.
Davidson naturally couldn't bear to sell such a No. 3 player.
Players from the four positions of No. 2 to No. 5 have basically been decided.
The next number one position still made Davidson a little worried.
The King's original number one position was Sport Webber, which is the little potato Webber that fans are familiar with.
Little Potato Webber, like Williams, the real name is actually Anthony Jerome Webber.
He is 168 cm tall and once grabbed the honor of dunk king in Wilkins and became a legend.
But legend is legend, Davidson doesn't really want to keep Little Potato in the team.
With such a size, defense is definitely a black hole among black holes. What's more important is that with such a size, he doesn't even have three-pointers.
It's not that there is no at all, it's just that bad, so bad that even Jordan's three-point level is not as good as Jordan's.
Such a player may be used as a surprise on the bench and may achieve some good results.
But it would be inappropriate to use him as a resident point guard.
The height of 168 is too bad for defense. The more the playoffs the game, the more it will become a defensive loophole on the court.
There is no doubt that Davidson has to find a way to deal with the little potato Webber point.
Either sell it or delegate it to the bench.
Although Eric Snow is the point guard that Davidson takes a fancy, he is not very suitable for playing now, and at least he has to be tempered for one or two years.
If Snow is Davidson's natal player, then everything is easy to deal with. If you directly build an offensive system, Snow will directly increase its strength.
But now Snow is not Davidson's natal player after all, so Davidson can only slowly develop it.
...
After the draft, Davidson bid farewell to Old Nelson and returned to the hotel with his two assistants.
At 10 o'clock the next morning, Davidson and Willis Reed met with each other and were about to announce the deal.
When the two met, they didn't say much, they were just doing business.
...
After returning to Saramento, Davidson first went to find Petrie.
Tell Pitri about his next lineup adjustment plan.
Petri was confused because the plan Davidson mentioned seemed a bit too radical in his opinion.
Selling the team with the greatest potential, Brian Grant, who sells the popular little potato Webber in the fan group?!
No matter how you look at this plan, it is quite unreliable.
With the idea of selling the little potatoes, Petri can understand this.
He also had this idea, but he had to consider the feelings of Kings fans. Little Potato is quite popular, and if he sells it, it will inevitably disappoint Kings fans.
In Pitri’s opinion, Brian Grant is completely a little Coleman, and it is a perfect match for Murraysan!
Petri didn't know what Davidson was going crazy, and he actually wanted to sell Grant...
Chapter completed!
