Butch Baird is a scout and consultant. He is not that good at being a head coach. The team's better rookie is

However, his analytical ability and vision are very good. As can be seen from the Nets draft in the past seven or eight years, he recommends that the players he chooses in the first round are usually not bad, and there are few parallel products... The second round doesn't matter, he loves gambling.

When he received an invitation from Reggie Seus to watch the Adidas Training Camp Classic, he was shocked by Zhang Hao's actual performance.

With top athletic ability + practical shooting that is so stable, just these two points, he regards Zhang Hao as his draft target.

Although he did not send a trial invitation to Zhang Hao, he really carefully investigated Zhang Hao and clearly understood the characteristics of Zhang Hao during the draft.

The small forward has the top movement ability, excellent bounce, and accurate mid-range shots; the flaws are thin and monotonous technology, and whether it can adapt to NBA-level confrontation is doubtful...

However, if it is just a No. 9 pick and just a pitcher trained in the direction of Reggie Miller, if Zhang Hao can become a top-notch mid-range shooter in the NBA, this draft pick will not lose! After all, the matter of losing weight can be improved. Zhang Hao is only 18 years old.

Moreover, Zhang Hao also has good athletic ability, which can win the athletic ability of a high school student slam dunk king.

In summary, Butch Baird initially believed that Zhang Hao had the possibility of becoming an All-Star player.

Therefore, Butch Baird decisively took Zhang Hao at the 9th pick. After that, the Lakers wanted to trade Zhang Hao with Cebaros, and he tried hard to make the team reject the deal. They had Almond Gilliam, an impact player of the same type as Cebaros. As long as Zhang Hao could play, his role in the Nets and his future team building plan would be much better than Cebaros.

A pitcher with excellent athletic ability and off-ball style will want any team as long as he plays in the NBA.

An All-Star running pitcher, if he is a strong team, he will even have to be more powerful than a ball-holding superstar!

But Butch Baird did not expect that Zhang Hao would grow again this summer when he was 18 years old. He grew almost three inches, but it did not affect his speed yet!

That's all, growing taller will not affect speed. Although it is surprising, it is not very rare.

But Zhang Hao's strength has also been increased, and it has been improved to make Butch Beard suspect that the barbell's weight was wrongly marked.

The standard 185 pounds is 84 kilogram bench press. This year's 58 rookies counted the average bench presses in the draft are 9.2 times, and the weight and number of times are not very good. After all, the players who participated in the election are between the ages of 18 and 23, and have not yet conducted real professional athlete-level strength training, and some players are even developing.

Zhang Hao, during the trial, the bench press test was 6 times, far lower than those forward players from college, but it was not particularly bad. There were also cases where rookies with high picks could not even push the bench press at 84 kg.

The key is that Zhang Hao’s bench press test just now was 20 times! It seems that there is still plenty of effort!

At this time, Butch Baird was already worried that Zhang Hao's playing style had completely changed, but Zhang Hao was still so outstanding in the next shooting training.

As he grows taller, his strength increases... his athletic ability and shooting are not greatly affected!

In terms of shooting, Zhang Hao practiced hard by himself to keep the shots away from the changes in strength, or it had already been affected, but he relied on training to eliminate the impact.

In terms of athletic ability and flexibility, the most bug in the growth card is reflected - during the use of the growth card, the negative impact that should have been brought about by the improvement of strength, height, etc., will be minimized or even not!

With both strength, speed, flexibility, and shooting feel... Zhang Hao's talent made Butch Baird's amazing!

Although the ball control is a very bad comparison among NBA-level outside players, his skills are extremely bad, especially the lack of ball holding, which makes Zhang Hao unable to become the core of the team building alone.

But as a pitcher, whether you can control the ball is not particularly important.

Not every player on a team must hold the ball.

On the contrary, no team does not need such a player who does not need to hold the ball.

genius!

A true super genius!

Butch Baird's hands were trembling when he saw Zhang Hao's physical test report.

It is true that Zhang Hao's current strength is still relatively ordinary, and he has the flaws of never playing games for adults, and his game experience is seriously insufficient.

It's the first time I've been involved in professional basketball, but I've directly appeared on the NBA stage...

From all aspects, Zhang Hao still has a considerable probability of not being able to make it.

Not to mention a No. 9 show, even this year's No. 1 pick may not be able to play.

But Zhang Hao already has the conditions to be made!

The probability of the game is far higher than Butch Baird initially expected.

Butch Baird was just gambling at the beginning. He liked to bet. Compared with most players participating in the draft this year, players like Garnett and Zhang Hao, whose upper limit is more uncertain. Although the lower limit may also be ridiculously low, he thinks it is worth betting.

Now, there is a high probability that you will bet right!

...

Butch Baird should calm down.

Zhang Hao was in a good mood after the test. He showed off his strengths. This was the best situation for him, at least he did not perform abnormally.

Seeing that the teammates had a chance, Zhang Hao had already known who these teammates were from the information given by Pelinka.

The team's core player Kenny Anderson, substitute point guard Greg Graham, 84 Golden Generation veteran Vaughan Fleming, and substitute power forward Jason Williams.

These four teammates returned to the team early, and Kenny Anderson's image was not much the same as what Zhang Hao knew about. He was so fat...

"Why is he a fat man again? Can the difference between photos and real people these days?"

After complaining inwardly, Zhang Hao took the initiative to go up and say hello to several teammates.

Among them, Greg Graham and Vaughan Fleming hugged Zhang Hao very friendly.

Graham is a very restrained young guard, 193 cm, thin and only 83 kilograms. The first round pick in the 1993 draft year is about to begin his third season. He has average strength, good athletic ability, good at defending without the ball, and only has shooting that is sometimes effective and sometimes unsatisfied on the offensive end.

After the suspension, because Graham signed a five-year rookie contract that year, the Sixers were not popular. When the Nets traded Coleman, they took Graham back and prepared to scratch the lottery. Graham turned 25 at the end of November, and some players may have an outbreak at the age of 25. Anyway, Graham's rookie contract is not expensive.

Fleming is also a player who signed back after the suspension of the Nets. He is 33 years old and is about to retire. He has played for the Pacers for 11 years and has never been a star, but he is experienced and good at catching jump shots.

Both of them are friendly to Zhang Hao. In his opinion, everyone is new, so they naturally have to join in to keep warm.

However, Jason Williams, the tough power forward, was not that friendly to Zhang Hao. He greeted Zhang Hao with a cold expression and used the excuse to leave first when training.

The two new players are friendly to Zhang Hao, and Jason Williams seems to be disgusted with Zhang Hao... Zhang Hao can guess the reason for these two situations.

But the other one, Zhang Hao was confused...
