The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 349: Poor Ricky Davis

   The New York Knicks once again performed a show of sorrow, ignoring Nick Collison, David West and other players, and chose Michael Svetney, a junior from Georgetown University.

In the three years at Georgetown University, Svetney averaged 18.2 points per game with a 55% shooting percentage. In the third year, he was selected as an honorary nomination for the Associated Press's Team of the Year, as well as a Naismith Award and John- One of the candidates for the Wooden Award.

   This year, Svetney is the only player in the United States who can rank in the top 20 in both scoring and rebounding.

   Although his grades are good, his height and weight are his shortcomings.

   The Knicks chose Svetney because they expected him to lose some weight and become a qualified insider.

   Although he has a very good basketball awareness and basic skills, his bloated figure has always affected Svetney's performance.

   Actually, the Knicks can accept undersized power forwards, so they can choose David West.

   However, the Knicks' choices in the draft are often unpredictable.

  ......

   The Washington Wizards holds the No. 10 pick. This time, they no longer need to be influenced by Jordan and chose their favorite small forward Jarvis Hayes.

   This 2.01m small forward did a good job at the University of Georgia. He has a long arm and is an excellent defensive small forward.

   But at the same time, he has the ability to shoot mid-range and often performs passionate dunks in games.

   Some scouts defined Hayes as a weakened version of Tracy McGrady.

  ......

   Next, the Golden State Warriors chose the French swingman Michael Pietrus.

   Pietrus is not an excellent offensive with the ball, but he has considerable range and shooting ability. In addition, he can use his good physical fitness to break into the basket.

   His back-playing ability is average, and the main points are from outside jumpers.

   Of course, he also has enough ability to complete singles at the bottom of the basket.

   is strong jumping, flying dunk is not a problem, so he also has the nickname "French Jordan".

   He is very suitable for the Warriors' art of bombardment.

  ......

   The Seattle SuperSonics used the 12th and 14th picks to take inside player Nick Collison and point guard Luke Ridnour to their command.

   Among several other players who have received attention.

   David West was selected by the Charlotte Hornets.

   In the four years from 1999 to 2003, West has always been the team's absolute main force, and he was also the first player in team history to retire with a blackjack jersey number while still playing for the team.

   During his time at Xavier University, West averaged 16.9 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.

In the senior season, West led Xavier University to a 26-6 record with the best record in team history. He also ranked No. 1 in the United States with an overall performance of 20.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. A team, and was elected the 2003 National Player of the Year.

   But in the 2003 draft, West encountered Waterloo, mainly because of height.

   The official height of West, the main power forward, is only 2.06 meters, but in fact his height is rumored to be only 2.03 meters.

   When he was in college, he had no problem playing inside at this height, but in the NBA, even at a height of 2.06 meters, he was a little short at the power forward position, and his skills were not suitable for playing small forwards.

   After "France Jordan" was selected by the Warriors, "French Magic" Boris Dior was also selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 21st overall pick in the first round.

   The Portland Trail Blazers selected Travis Outlaw, a tall, arm-length small forward with the 23rd overall pick in the first round.

   In addition to choosing Milicic, the Pistons selected the No. 25 pick of the Argentine player Carlos Delfino, who has played in the Italian League for three years.

   The Memphis Grizzlies drafted a large center, Kendrick Perkins.

  ......

   In the second round, the Cleveland Cavaliers played for the second time. They selected Jason Capono, a three-point shooter from the team.

   During his time in his career, he was the only player in the history of the school team to occupy the top of the team's scoring list for four consecutive years.

When    left, Kapono left a series of shooting records.

   The second in history in team history, the first in three-point percentage, the sixth in free throw percentage...

   Together with Hinrich in 2001, he won the World Youth Championship on behalf of the US team.

   Before the draft, scouts evaluated him: the three-pointer is more accurate than O'Neal's free throw.

   In the new season, Shentong has a teammate who can break his wrist on three-pointers.

  ......

   Luke Walton was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the third overall pick in the second round.

   The five players of the Arizona Wildcats were all selected to the NBA so far.

   The Orlando Magic selected center Zaza Pachulia from Georgia.

   The Utah Jazz picked Mo Williams from the University of Alabama with the 18th overall pick in the second round.

   As the 01-02 season in "Sports News" magazine, Williams, who won the best newcomer in the United States, this overall ranking is obviously low.

   After Shentong confirmed that the New Jersey Nets left the team, they immediately selected a solid shooting player Kyle Korver to join the team.

After    Shentong leaves, Corey Kidders will be righted, and Korver can become a vital force in this position.

   Of course, if a team is willing to provide suitable chips, the Nets are also willing to try to trade them. After all, the team already has enough players on the wing.

   Richard Jefferson and Corey Kidders are the team's main players in the next season, and Korver's playing time is destined to be limited.

   What excites Chinese fans is that the Dallas Mavericks, who had the 28th overall pick in the second round, selected Xue Yuyang, a Chinese CBA player, without warning.

   This choice surprised everyone, including Barkley and Smith who explained the draft.

Barkley said: "I have never heard of Xue Yuyang before. The Dallas sign seems to be unable to pick any good players, so I bet on Chinese players. After all, the profitability of the Chinese market in the past two years has made all NBA teams. The team is jealous."

Smith said: "But I think the Chinese Basketball Association should not release people. I just checked the player Xue Yuyang on the Internet. He only played in China's League B a year ago and won the League B. The best newcomer."

   "What is League B?"

   "It's China's secondary league~www.ltnovel.com~ similar to our NBDL. But they have the concept of relegation, we don't."

   Barkley nodded and said: "Well, I want to know what's wrong with Dallas, and I will choose a player in the Chinese secondary league."

   Smith replied: "That was a year ago. This year, Xue Yuyang's team has been promoted to the CBA, and he also won the honor of CBA Rookie of the Year."

   Barkley said: "CBA's best rookie? Come on, man, don't be funny, at least become a CBA championship or MVP and then consider joining the NBA. The Mavericks must value the Chinese market, and it has nothing to do with strength."

  ......

   After the Cleveland Cavaliers signed Shentong and drafted James, the Cavaliers boss Ricky Davis spoke last season.

Davis: "I finally waited for a helper, LeBron is a smart player, he can be my left hand, as for Shin, I think we can get along with each other in peace, sometimes he can come on the bench, or with me Appearing in the second and third position together, he will be my right hand in the new season."

   Soon after these remarks were made, Davis was quickly sent to the Boston Celtics by the Cleveland Cavaliers at half-sale and half-delivered cabbage prices.

   Davis: "..."

   My left and right hands are gone...
