Chapter 057 On the many rookies of this draft

After finishing processing the Seattle SuperSonics' roster, Bruce immediately rushed back to New York, where he would welcome all the "supernovas" participating in this NBA draft.

Tim Duncan, who was originally the sure number one pick in this draft, announced that he would fulfill his mother's wishes and would not participate in this draft again.

If Tim Duncan participates, to be honest, he will definitely be the No. 1 pick instead of Allen Iverson. The reason is very simple. Before the new century, basically every team will select tall and large forward candidates, and Tim Duncan

Undoubtedly the best among these candidates.

No matter how good Allen Iverson's statistics are, he can only be ranked second in front of Tim Duncan.

Just like in the 1984 draft, how dazzling the old hooligan was in the NCAA league. If he didn't fall to third place when meeting Olajuwon, why didn't the Houston Rockets select the old hooligan?

But when it comes to "star" rookies in this NBA draft, Allen Iverson is definitely No. 1.

Allen Iverson's characteristics are fast speed, strong breakthrough ability, and super scoring ability.

In the NCAA tournament, under the leadership of Allen Iverson, the University of Washington defeated the wealthy University of Kentucky, and Allen Iverson averaged 31+10 per game and won the MOP of the year.

He is so powerful. No wonder the Philadelphia 76ers are so crazy about Allen Iverson.

Of course, it’s not just the Philadelphia 76ers who are interested in Allen Iverson. You know, Allen Iverson went to the University of Washington, which is affiliated with the University of Washington in Seattle. Why doesn’t Paul Allen’s heart fall in love?

!

Even top players like Paul Allen have taken a fancy to him, but Allen Iverson's draft pick was too high and he couldn't be selected.

Marcus Camby, one of the best tall centers in this draft class, is good at blocking shots and rebounding.

After Tim Duncan did not participate in this year's draft, Marcus Camby became the candidate pursued by most teams.

But you would never guess that this guy is also a top student. Unlike a scumbag like Allen Iverson, he graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a bachelor's degree.

Marcus Camby not only became the winner of the Wooden Award and the Naismith Award in 1996, he was also selected as the College Player of the Year by Sporting News and was selected to the All-American Team. His 336 blocks ranked first in university history.

From the above content, we can see that this big guy is a defensive center with slightly weaker offensive ability.

The next "star" is everyone's old acquaintance, "Commissar Horse" - Stephen Marbury.

Stephon Marbury, who graduated from Georgia Tech, can definitely be considered a smaller version of Allen Iverson. Not only do they have similar personalities, but they also play alone on the court and have superior personal abilities.

Coming from a streetball background, he is very good at scoring and is known as the "league's one-on-one king." Stephon Marbury not only has accurate shooting, excellent dribbling, and strong breakthrough ability, but he can also play the role of an organizational brain.

Of course, many people will say that without Allen Iverson, there must be more teams pursuing Stephon Marbury, but who knows if this is true?

I won’t give examples of other rookies selected into the Little Green Room one by one.



The New York Hans' lottery results this year were pretty good. The No. 4 pick in the first round was drawn by team general manager Mitch Kupchak. It was certain that Kobe would be selected with the fourth overall pick.

However, the New Yorkers still had a first-round pick to rob the Golden State Warriors, the No. 10 pick in the lottery, and Bruce happily accepted it.

As for the second-round pick, it has long been included in the Golden State Warriors' trade.

Therefore, the New York Hans only have 2 first-round picks in this draft.

Although this year's draft is a big year, and there are many "golden generation" rookies being born, the New York Hans really don't need much.

In fact, Bruce knows the characteristics of these rookies and what their future will be like, but he can't catch them all at once. He always eats meat, but he also has to order soup for others, right?

In view of the special nature of this year's draft, Bruce asked New York Hans general manager Mitch Kupchak to arrange for all the rookies entering the Little Green Room to participate in individual workouts.

Of course, these rookies will definitely flock here, because these rookies know that they are not only famous but also rich in the metropolis of New York, and no one will refuse this temptation.

Coupled with the special nature of the New York Han Chinese team, it is even more impossible for these rookies not to participate in individual trials.

Finally, with less than a month left until the draft, the New York Hans finally opened camp and welcomed their first guest - Allen Iverson.

Originally, Allen Iverson would definitely not fall to the No. 4 position in the rookie draft, but Allen Iverson still decided to go to the New York Hans to participate in a separate trial without him, just to repay the favor and thank Bruce.

God knows what Bruce did to make a rebellious kid like Allen Iverson bow his head.

It turned out that as early as 1993, 17-year-old Allen Iverson and a group of black classmates were involved in a fight with a group of white classmates. Afterwards, he was accused of beating a white girl with a chair and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

.

What is the concept of 15 years in prison? It can be said that Allen Iverson was completely ruined after serving prison time.

Bruce also knew something about what happened to Allen Iverson in his previous life. Although Allen Iverson was found not guilty due to lack of evidence after spending 4 months in prison, he did not have a college team after he was released from prison.

The team is willing to take him in. After all, these universities still want to save face, and it is reasonable to not want this "problem" student to enter the school.

And Allen Iverson’s mother, Ann Iverson, went around begging people and begging the school to take in this poor kid. Not to mention, in the end, a school coach was willing to take in Allen Iverson. This was all because of

In terms of the face of Allen Iverson's mother, it can be said that Allen Iverson was completely notorious before this and was a character that everyone avoided.

Out of his love for "answers" in his previous life, what Bruce did was to get Allen Iverson out of prison early, and then pressured him to go to the University of Washington through Allen Iverson's mother, Ann Iverson.

, play basketball for a few years and see if his character will completely change.

Of course, Bruce will definitely not come forward to help Allen Iverson on his own. If the league investigates in the future and finds that Bruce has contacted NCAA players privately, then Bruce will definitely be severely fined. Money does not matter, the key is to be afraid of the league.

Giving the New York Hans a penalty of not having a draft pick for several years would cost Bruce his life.

So Bruce himself is quite smart. He holds shares in many large companies. Any company's legal team can come forward to help Allen Iverson solve his jail sentence, and then privately use Paul Allen to

Most of the University of Washington's influence comes from trying to arrange Allen Iverson's admission.

There's nothing wrong with this, because Bruce never showed up from beginning to end, and even the league's investigation couldn't find anything. Anyway, in one sentence, no one in the management of the New York Hans had any contact with Allen Iverson.

It's one thing to like Allen Iverson, but it's another thing to select Allen Iverson. The New York Hans will definitely not select Allen Iverson, not that Allen Iverson

No, it’s just that what the team needs is not a lone wolf type player, but a team player.

Helping Allen Iverson was the only thing Bruce could do.

Only Allen Iverson and his mother knew about the whole thing. Out of his understanding of loyalty, the "gangster" Allen Iverson must come over to say hello to Bruce, because this was also his first time in the draft.
