More interesting things followed.

Stern finally announced the first deal for this year's draft when he walked from behind the scenes to the front stage for the 10th time.

The Bulls made the deal.

They used their 10th pick to trade with the Nets, and the deal got the Nets' No. 17 draw and the 32nd draw in the second round, as well as some cash.

This is a typical operation of high picks changing to low picks, and one draft picks changing to multiple.

The reason for doing this is very simple. Except for a few popular rookies in the draft, the remaining players have little difference in their level. I bet on one more and hope to get one more point.

The Nets' deal is better understood. After Martin left the team, only Nenald Costic was left in the inside.

This is a soft European white bear, and they naturally want to choose a black, thick and hard inside line to strengthen it.

But a good inside player will basically not fall to the 17th pick, especially in the draft.

The result is similar to what Sun Hao predicted, and the Nets used this pick to choose Nigerian inside Ek Diogu.

Diogusun Hao is no stranger to him. He has been playing in the CBA since he left the NBA.

As an inside player, this person is average in height but outstanding in strength. It is also possible to say that he is a weakened version of Kenyon Martin, which is more in line with the Nets' requirements.

"It seems that there are not many shooting guards tonight, right?"

Yi Jianlian turned around and asked at this time.

The Bulls are very different from the same period in history. Hinrich, Ruhr Deng, Ben Gordon are all there, the only one is Nossioni.

In other words, the Bulls' starting lineup now, Paul, Nosioni, Yi Jianlian and Chandler, are missing a shooting guard.

It is reasonable for Yi Jianlian to ask this question.

Sun Hao shook his head.

Even if he is a time traveler, he will not memorize the annual draft list for him even if he has nothing to do.

If he really thinks he writes a novel, he will remember the protagonist after searching the information?

Then he is not a burner either!

At this time, it wasn't like before that he had a list of rosters for him to show in the Lakers draft cabin.

And even if Buss showed him the prospects for the second round before, he really didn't know that he was far behind in the first round.

Yi Jianlian turned his gaze back to the stage. If Sun Hao didn't know, he could only wait.

Fortunately, the draft was very fast, and it was one in five minutes, and soon it was the 17th pick.

Stern walked from behind the scenes to the front stage for the 17th time, and the old man was very tired from entering and leaving.

"The 17th pick in the first round of 2005, the Chicago Bulls chose..."

Stern's habitual pause was not known to be because he was old and was really tired.

"Danny Granger, 2.03-meter small forward, from the University of New Mexico."

??

Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian were both stunned after hearing this choice.

What about the shooting guard who agreed to be?

Especially Sun Hao, he was not only stunned at this moment, but was a little shocked.

Who is Granger!

Although he is not a top superstar, he can contribute 26+5+3 per game at his peak, and it has been two consecutive seasons!

At that time, he was the head of the Pacers and a steady first-tier star.

If it weren't for a knee injury, his peak period would last longer and his influence would be greater.

The Bulls actually chose him!

Sure enough, the NBA has some good words?

Klaus had traded him before, missed Yao Ming, and missed Francis, resulting in missing Hinrich, Ruhr Deng and Ben Gordon, which can be described as tragic.

But this year, Paul Granger, has his character accumulated silently finally ushered in a big explosion this year?

"Mr. Klaus must have negotiated which free agent."

Yi Jianlian turned around and said at this time.

Sun Hao nodded with a smile.

This is entirely possible. Although Granger should be precisely a forward-guard swingman who focuses on small forwards, the Bulls' starting lineup is too young.

In addition, the Bulls' salary is not yet at the lowest level of the salary cap, it is very likely to sign a guard who is in his playing years to lead the team.

Granger, with the 17th pick, is also very unlikely to be trained as a core.

The draft went on very quickly, and after the first round, Stern was finally able to get off the court and rest.

It’s a bit difficult to go in and out thirty times in one night.

After the first round ended, some reporters at the scene followed and they all went to interview those first round picks.

This is the reality, that very classic gif: before the 2019 draft interview, Green House member Goga Bitaze and No. 1 pick Zion Williams were at the same press conference. All the reporters surrounded Williams, with long guns and short cannons, but he didn't even have one.

Even the members of the Little Milky House are like this, let alone these second-round picks.

The probability of a second round pick is extremely low, and you may not even be able to enter the NBA.

However, Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian were still at the scene.

First, their parent team still has a second-round draft pick, and second, they all want to know if Zhu Fangyu is likely to be selected.

Especially Sun Hao, he is still looking forward to Zhu Batifun being able to appear in the NBA.

The second round draft began immediately, and the person who walked behind the scenes to the front stage became Tetm.

Sun Hao is not unfamiliar with Tetm at all. He has always been the vice president of the NBA in Asian history, and he also broadcasts the second round draft every year.

Compared with mosaics, he feels much more comfortable, and he is even a vice president with a good personal connection in history.

As for why he has not become the NBA president in history, do you ask Sun Hao, who does Sun Hao ask?

The biggest possibility is that Tetm's business capabilities are not that outstanding. After all, the NBA is a business league and needs to look at it.

Tetm soon announced his first pick in the second round, with the New York Knicks choosing David Lee.

Li had been waiting off the court for a long time, especially when he was not even finished the first round, and he couldn't hide his loss.

However, after being selected by the second round, he still smiled. After getting up, he elegantly tidied up his suit, took the hat handed over by the staff and went to the stage with high spirits.

It turns out that he has the temperament that only rich second generation has.

"He should have been interrupted at least in the first round."

Yi Jianlian was a little unfair for Li Ming.

The two had a fight in college before, and he felt that Li's strength should not fall to that back.

"Reversal attack is not a bad thing."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

Although it is one place lower than the ranking in history, it also dropped from the first round to the second round.

But Li is one of the few low-post Taobao players in the Knicks in history.

Now he is still going to the Knicks, which means he can basically play the performance he will play in history.

That's definitely a counterattack.

The second round draft is much faster than the first round, as each team's selection time has been reduced from five minutes to three minutes.

Soon, the draft was outside the 40th pick.

The Bulls picked Vaughan Weaver with the 40th pick.

Domestic fans are no strangers to "Wai Bat King". In the era of Yao Ming and Houston, everyone had a nickname.

But his strength is limited.

After that, the Pacers got the 41st pick through the trade and then chose Monta Ellis.

It seemed very interesting now. The Pacers lost Granger but picked up Ellis.

As for the Warriors without Ellis, it's not a bad thing.

Because worse grades mean higher rankings, no one will be selected in advance.

Sun Hao, waiting.

The Lakers have not taken action yet at this pick, which shows that Kupchek's negotiations are not going well.

This is also foreseeable. The Lakers won the championship strongly last season, which made other teams awaken their impression of the Lakers as "public enemy of the league".

Without enough interests, they would not trade with the Lakers.

Fortunately, Sun Hao's waiting did not last long.
