043 Self-contradictory

Just as many fans were puzzled, NBADRAFT's official Twitter directly posted a link, announcing that it had made a comprehensive evaluation of Li Zhe's various abilities. Just click on the link to jump to the official website under his name and you can check it carefully.

Curiosity drove many fans to click quickly, and when they saw that the total score of the twelve attributes was 94, they became even more confused.

How could a 94-point score be only 18?

You should know that Westbrook was also a point guard last year, and he was selected as the fourth pick with 95 points. Li Zhe may be worse in physical fitness, but 94 points should at least enter the lottery range.

However, NBADRAFT is extremely authoritative in draft picks. It often starts tracking and observing a player when he is in high school. Except for occasionally suffering losses in the Thunder and the Celtics, it rarely makes major prediction mistakes.

With patience, fans checked the specific evaluations of each attribute one by one.

The first athletic ability attribute scored 8 points, the reason was that the first step was very fast and the explosive power was very strong, and it was only a little worse than the defenders with super physical fitness such as Ross. They broke through the opponent's point guards in one step against Arizona State University; they could defend from No. 1 to No. 5 on the defensive end, and successfully defended the center twice in a row against UCLA; they still performed stably due to high-intensity double-teaming, which was particularly obvious in the match against Stanford.

Fans agreed with this comment, because Li Zhe changed hands and dunks under his crotch were impressive.

The second body type attribute scored 8 points, the reason was that the height of 191CM was the same as that of the main point guards such as Nash Deron Arenas. Although there is no wingspan data for the time being, from the photos and videos, it should be at least 193CM. The shoulder width and hip circumference data were also visually average, a little thin, almost perfect.

Fans fully agree with this because Li Zhe's muscle growth rate is visible to the naked eye.

The third defensive attribute also scored 8 points, the reason is that after eight major games since the start of the game, in addition to single defense and misaligned defense, he can also formulate a team's defensive strategy and the effect is excellent. Harden only scored 4 points in that game, and he made the most contribution. Darren Collison, the player in the same position, all played incorrectly under his defense. The only deduction is that he failed to completely limit Thomas Jr., but that is more because of the offensive tactical bonus of Washington State University.

There is no doubt that fans have commented on this. After all, Li Zhe has performed many wonderfully in defense, especially in the just-concluded game, which is definitely commendable.

Both the fourth strength attribute and the fifth agility attribute scored 7 points, and there is no doubt about it.

The sixth leadership ability attribute scored 8 points. Fans felt that USC was in a winning streak. He definitely had leadership skills but would never be so high. But after hearing the story between him and Hackett, he instantly thought the score was reasonable.

Scoring 10 points in the seventh shooting attribute, averaging 26.75 points per game has already shown everything.

The NBA fitness attribute in the eighth item is scored 8 points, because as a point guard professionally, he is very mature in organizing offense, commanding defense, breaking through and scoring; he has a methodology for dealing with the media and fans in life, coupled with his study abroad experience and excellent speaking, which allows him to quickly integrate into an NBA team.

Fans agree with this because Li Zhe acts like a 30-year-old local player.

The ninth ball control attribute scored 7 points, and the fans felt that it was a bit low, because Li Zhe was very skilled in dribbling skills with cross steps, changing hands under the crotch, and waiting behind the scenes. He was very experienced in dealing with double-teaming and layups against each other.

The tenth potential attribute is the most controversial, and he only scored 6 points, because he is 21 years old.

Supporting the fans of Yifang think it is reasonable, because many superstars show great potential at around 18 years old, and they are already an older rookie at the age of 21, and may be relatively small to continue to grow. Opposing the fans of Yifang think it is nonsense, because Li Zhe has only been in contact with professional training for only one month, just like the first time in Dameng Olajuwon beat everyone in basketball, and he is a genius!

The eleventh item passed attribute scored 8 points, with the reason being that it averaged 9.25 assists per game, without debate.

The last intangible asset attribute scored 9 points, which did not cause much discussion. After all, the article "Jamie Lee's Unfinished Aspirations" coupled with the story with Hackett and others is enough to illustrate what kind of person Li Zhe is.

After reading all attribute evaluations, fans still failed to understand why 94 points can only get 18 picks, so they continued to look down. The scout description written by the famous scout book Parker suddenly appeared.

The content is relatively simple, because there are too few competition samples, so I can only write the ones that are impressive.

"NBA corresponding template: 'Moonlight Pistol' Chris Jackson."

"Strengths: Jamie Lee is the same as his template, with a moderate physical fitness and is especially good at shooting."

"There is a strong desire to attack, excellent single-handed ability, excellent mental quality at critical moments and very smart in choices."

"Disadvantages: Defensive end likes to gambling, sometimes lose control, and it is difficult to make preparations for college games."

"It takes a lot of ball holding, seems to be afraid of confrontation, and the future improvement is relatively low."

After playing the scouts, the fans finally figured out why 94 points were given only 18 picks.

According to the website evaluation and scouting instructions, Li Zhe's playing style requires a lot of ball holding, which is only suitable for teams that are not bad and rebuilt. However, those teams often hold the top eight draft picks and may prefer to find a player with huge potential. In terms of potential evaluation, Li Zhe has the lowest evaluation.

In this way, the increase in 22 rankings turned into a debate in the end.

Some fans expressed their approval of the 18th pick, some fans thought it was very nonsense, and some Chinese fans even thought it was racist because it was similar to Li Zhe's average score per game, Stephen Curry, a 21-year-old junior player of the same type, ranked 7th in the prediction given by NBADRAFT, not to mention that Li Zhe is currently averaging more assists per game.

When it comes to sensitive topics, not only does not stop the debate, but instead allows the debate to continue to expand.

NBADRAFT said there was absolutely no racism, but did not respond to why there were such a big difference.

On the contrary, fans pointed out that Curry is better at running without the ball, and he can score a lot without holding a lot of balls, and his ball control is also better, making him a player.



Li Zhe and the other two came out of the cinema. It was already 4 pm. As soon as they turned on their phone, they received a call from Bill Duffy's personal assistant.

After talking about the ranking storm, the other party said that he would immediately plan a public relations campaign to help him gain more recognition.

Li Zhe said no, because too much public relations can easily cause disgust.

The team's next game is against University of California, and then will challenge UCLA away. It will be a game that attracts high attention. You can definitely prove yourself by playing different performances in that game.
