Chapter 595
Chapter 595
"The Seattle SuperSonics selected Gary Payton from Oregon State University with the second overall pick in the 1990 draft."
As Stern's voice fell, Peyton stood up and hugged his parents. Although he didn't get the No. [-] pick, the second place was pretty good.
What's more, compared to the Nets with a belly of ten thousand years, the Supersonics are obviously better, and the tenth in the Western Conference is obviously closer to the playoffs.
Having said that, I have to praise the Sonics. This year, their character has exploded, and they actually won the second lottery, and they selected the best star of this year.
Compared with Payton's reluctance, the old Payton is much more satisfied, watching his son fulfill his dream, not to mention how happy he is.
It can be said that Payton's ability to embark on the path of a basketball player has an inseparable relationship with the old Payton.
As a high school basketball coach, Payton Sr. also has the nickname "Mr. Fairness", and he is quite famous in the local area.
As for Payton, the old Payton has been extremely strict with him since he was a child. He will not only watch every game of his from beginning to end, but also find Payton as soon as possible after the game, criticize first and then give pointers. Compared with most black stars who came out of the slums, Payton was undoubtedly much happier when he was a student, although he might not appreciate this kind of "fatherly love" at the time.
He bid farewell to his parents, took the Sonics hat from the staff, put it on his head and went straight to the stage, shaking hands with Stern with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Frank in the box also showed a smile. When he recalled meeting Li Weisi on the field with Li Weisi, he was full of emotion in his heart. NBA.
After Payton, the subsequent rookies were selected by each team one by one, although there are some good players among them, such as No. 3 pick Mohamed Abdul Rauf, No. 4 pick Dennis Scott, 5 No. [-] pick Kendall Gill, etc., but overall, they have not reached the heights that people expect, not even the All-Star level.
After a while, it was the turn of the No. 8 pick, but Frank didn't care who the No. 8 pick was at all, because he finally traded the No. 8 pick before the start of the draft.
Due to the low price of all teams, this draft pick has always been difficult to sell. In the end, the Mavericks used a 1992 first-round pick plus a 1993 second-round pick.
Judging from the results of the trade, the Mavericks feel that they have made a lot of money. This year they are still seventh in the Western Conference. How come in 92, they will not be reduced to the point before the No. 8 draw.
Seeing that the Mavericks got such a high draft pick so easily, this made other teams very jealous, almost remorseful, thinking that if they knew that the Warriors were so easy to talk, they would definitely come up with better bargaining chips .
Shouldn't the Warriors have a PY deal with the Mavericks?
And as the instigator, Frank, knows all the little things in the hearts of the major teams. He even wants to say to these teams: "Yeah! You made the money, and I want to cry because of the loss, hahaha..."
In the end, the Mavericks used the earned draft pick to choose a strange-looking power forward rookie who looked like a skull, Tyrone Hill.
This rookie is a good choice in this year's draft. Although he is not a star player, he is a qualified blue-collar power forward. He was even selected as an All-Star in the original time and space.
The draft went on quickly, and not long after, the lottery was over, and the first round was drawing to a close.
"The Golden State Warriors selected Toni Kukoc with the 1990th overall pick in the 26 draft out of Split, Croatia."
When Stern read out the Warriors' choice, the one who reacted the most was the general manager of the Bulls, Jerry Krause. He looked at all this in disbelief.
what happened?Why was he cut off by the Warriors again?Wait, why did I say again?
In short, this choice of the Warriors made Krause very uncomfortable. The reason is that he is also very optimistic about Kukoc, and even for Kukoc, he specifically traded up to a second-round pick, thinking I was able to grab him, but I never thought that the Warriors would directly use the first-round pick.
Thinking of this, Klaus felt a little heartbroken, because the Bulls' first-round pick this year was traded to the Magic as early as when Price was traded. At this time, he regretted it very much. He really shouldn't have traded the first-round pick. Lose.
Unlike Klaus, the general managers of other teams reacted, man, this guy Frank chose another European?
Over the years, the Warriors have collected a lot of Europeans, such as: Petrovic, Schramf, Divac, Matthews Onis, etc., but now they have chosen a Kukoc, it seems nothing It is unacceptable, not to mention that Kukoc is also a teammate of the national team with Petrovic and Divac.
Regarding the selection of Kukoc, Frank believes that this is the inevitable result of this draft. Even if the Warriors need someone now, even if Kukoc still needs a few years to land in the NBA, Frank still chose him without hesitation.
No way, even in the original time and space, Kukoc is the hero of the Bulls' three consecutive dynasties, but his strength is still underestimated, not to mention this year's draft, who else can be selected if he is not selected?
In this way, as the Lakers selected a center named Eldon Campbell, the first round of the draft ended here, and then the second round of the draft officially opened.
Shortly after opening it was the turn of the Bulls.
Holding the No. 2 pick in the second round, Klaus gave the staff a name with a face as if he was constipated.
"The Chicago Bulls selected Cedric Ceballos with the No. 1990 pick in the second round of the 2 draft out of Cal State Fullerton College."
That's right, this is Klaus's choice. Although he came from a small school and is not well-known, he has excellent physical fitness, his first step is fast, and his backs near the paint are very good. He is a good choice in this year's draft. .
It can be seen that Klaus, the fat man, really has something.
And Frank, who was watching the show, couldn't help but slapped his lips when he saw Klaus's choice, "Hey, he was chosen."
That's right, this person was Frank's second-round draft pick, but Klaus took the lead, and the two of them cut each other off once.
Seeing that No.1 was selected, Attles looked at Frank anxiously, and Frank comforted him: "Don't worry, just choose if you choose, we will choose the second choice."
"That's actually not a loss. We traded two second-round picks, but missed the No. 1 pick."
"Forget it, there's nothing to regret, maybe this is life!" Frank shrugged at Attles, pretending to be relaxed.
In this way, in the end, the Warriors used two second-round picks this year and last year to exchange a 41st pick from the Eagles, and finally chose a short insider Antonio Davis.
