The Seattle SuperSonics selected forward Kevin Durant, who has outstanding scoring ability, in last year's draft. This year, they will definitely focus on the back line. I didn't expect that they would give up Jerry Bayless and choose a player with better physical fitness.

Westbrook.

Westbrook's draft template is Monta Ellis, but in Xie Kai's view, he and Ellis are still very different, at least he thinks so.

The Memphis Grizzlies, with the fifth pick in the first round, selected freshman Kevin Love, also from UC!

Love is Westbrook's teammate in UC. It is very happy that the two were selected with the 4th and 5th picks. He is a top-notch big man in the NCAA in shooting, rebounding and passing.

, if his sluggish performance in the semifinals hadn't allowed the teams that liked him to discover his shortcomings in ordinary physical fitness, perhaps his draft pick would have been higher.

Love's draft template is David West, who is also an offensive big man who can play both inside and outside!

The New York Knicks, with the 6th pick, selected Italian small forward Danilo Gallinari!

Gallinari has been playing in the Italian League. Last season, he averaged 175 points, 56 rebounds, 20 steals, and 13 assists. As an international player, he has excellent offensive ability, is tall, and has a strong perimeter

Offensive ability. The shortcoming is that his athletic ability is average. Under NBA-level confrontation, will his offense be as sharp and will his defense become his weakness?

Gallinari's draft template was point forward Hedo Turkoglu, who was also an international player.

With the 7th pick, the Los Angeles Clippers selected freshman Eric Gordon from Indiana University!

If Gordon is restricted by the NCAA to be among the top 5 or even the top 3 picks, then his height of 193cm is still a bit disadvantaged in terms of size. You must know that Wade is also 193cm, but his wingspan and athletic ability are incomparable to him.

Gordon's draft template is Mitch Richmond.

The first seven picks have been announced, and Xie Kai believes that there have been no upsets so far. Of course, it is impossible for his name to appear in David Stern's mouth for the time being.

The Milwaukee Bucks, with the 8th pick, selected West Virginia University junior forward Joe Alexander!

Xie Kai almost stood up while sitting! This is definitely an upset!

Although Alexander averaged 169 points and 64 rebounds per game this season and led West Virginia University to an upset victory over the nation's No. 2 seed Duke University in this year's NCAA championship, he is already a junior.

, and he is already 21 years old. Although he announced his participation in the draft before, he has left a way out for himself and is ready to return to campus at any time. Among the top 100 college players on ESN, he is only ranked 41st!

As the only player in this draft who has at least half Chinese ancestry besides himself, he can also speak Mandarin, but in Xie Kai's view, the 8th pick is still on the high side. Of course, he thinks the Bucks are probably

I'm betting on his potential. You must know that although Alexander is a mixed race of white and yellow, he has the ability to kiss the basket! And as a player at the 3rd position, he has a full body and size, and has the foundation to shoot, so he is a diamond in the rough.

Alexander's draft template is "Hacker" Shawn Marion!

Xie sighed in his heart. If he could kiss the basket, he might be able to enter the lottery. What a pity!

On the way to the draft, some of the previous rookies have already exchanged clubs!

The Timberwolves sent Mayo's signing rights and Jaric, Walker and Buckner to the Grizzlies in exchange for Love's signing rights, shooter Mac Miller, forward Cardinal Cardinals and center Jason Collins.

Xie Kai sighed, this is the NBA, even if you are a lottery pick, you still can't escape the fate of being traded. So sometimes, no one can predict the outcome until the end.

With the 9th overall pick, the Charlotte Bobcats selected sophomore guard DJ Augustin from the University of Texas!

Augustin is very good at shooting and is very good. He was one of the top college point guards in the United States during his college days! However, he is only 183cm tall, has an unexceptional wingspan and athletic ability, and his talent is still average, so

He was overtaken by Alexander and fell to the 9th pick!

Augustin’s draft template is Jameer Nelson!

With the 10th pick, the Brooklyn Nets selected sophomore center Brook Lopez from Stanford University!

As a center, Brook Lopez has excellent inside singles ability, a long-range shot, and above-average defensive ability. However, his athletic ability is average and he moves slowly for a big man.

Brook Lopez's draft template is J Brown!

In the blink of an eye, the top 10 draft picks are over. Except for Westbrook, no one close to Xie Kai has been named by David Stern.

The draft continues!

With the 11th pick, the Indiana Pacers select freshman guard Jerry Bayless from the University of Arizona!

Originally, he was let go by the Seattle SuperSonics, who had the 4th overall pick, and then kept falling until he was selected with the 11th overall pick. It can be said that Bayless sat in the little green room and experienced the Paul Pierce experience.

That feeling of being on pins and needles. Fortunately, although I fell down, at least I didn't fall out of the lottery. This should be considered a great blessing among misfortunes!

Although Bayless plays a point guard, his playing style is more like a shooting guard, and although he has good physical fitness, his short wingspan and paranoid personality make him not an easy player to coach.

Bayless's draft template is "General" Gilbert Arenas!

With the 12th pick, the Sacramento Kings selected senior big man Jason Thompson from Rider University!

Although Jason Thompson is already a senior, he is still under 22 years old and has a height of 2.11cm. He moves very fast and still has great potential.

Jason Thompson’s draft template is Patrick O’Bryant!

With the 13th pick, the Portland Trail Blazers selected wing Brandon Rush from the University of Kansas!

As the University of Kansas has just won the NCAA championship, among the seven champions who signed up for the draft, someone finally entered the lottery!

Xie Kai was very happy for his teammate Rush. The two were both teammates and roommates, and the other's snoring was very distinctive!

As an excellent outside shooting wing, Rush has a history of knee injuries and is already 22 years old. Being able to enter the lottery is already a very good achievement!

Rush's draft template is Caron Butler!

At this time, there is only the last lottery spot left! Sitting in the small green room at this time are Xie Kai teammate Darrell Arthur and Texas A&M freshman center DeAndre Jordan.

I was very nervous sitting there. After all, no one wants to be Rashard Lewis No. 2!

The answer was soon revealed. The Golden State Warriors, with the 14th pick, selected freshman forward Anthony Randolph from Louisiana State University!

Anthony Randolph is tall and has long arms. He is another dark horse in this draft after Alexander. His outstanding potential is his advantage and selling point.
Chapter completed!
