NBA: I! The Most Versatile Player Ever!

Chapter 400 The 2011 draft begins

June 24.

Madison Square Garden.

The NBA's annual draft is held again.

Gu Yu was watching the draft at home with Pierce and others at this time.

After Stern's routine opening remarks, he immediately announced the ownership of the first pick.

"In 2011, the No. 1 pick in the first round of the NBA draft belonged to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they had five minutes to think about it."

After Stern finished speaking, he turned and walked backstage.

Five minutes later, Stern walked out with a smile and announced the result.

"In 2011, the first pick in the first round of the NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected a 1.91-meter guard, Kyrie Irving from Duke University!"

Watching Owen put on the Cavaliers hat, Gu Yu was not surprised.

2011 was a draft year after all.

Although Irving was before Gu Yu's crossing, many fans and the media gave him a bad evaluation.

But there is no denying Owen's strength.

"In 2011, the second pick in the first round of the NBA draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected a 2.03-meter forward, Derek Williams from the University of Arizona!

Derrick Williams, although proven to be a very Timberwolves draft in the future.

But don't deny that Derek Williams was really strong during his college days!

Freshman season, Derek. Williams averaged 15.7 points and 7.1 rebounds, shooting 57.4%.

Becomes the sixth in Arizona Wildcats history since the 1972-73 season.

At the same time, he is also the first player who ranks first in the team in all three statistics as a rookie.

Elected NCAA Rookie of the Year and Pacific Ten League Rookie of the Year, selected for the Pacific Ten League and NCAA Best Rookie Team.

In his sophomore season, Derek Williams averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds, and his shooting percentage increased to 59.5%, and was elected the best player in the Pacific Ten League.

In the NCAA National Championships, Williams helped the team get through the dangers many times.

Against the University of Memphis, Williams contributed a key block with less than 2 seconds left in the game.

In the sweet 16 battle with the University of Texas, Williams hit a three-pointer at a critical moment.

In the elite quarter-finals, facing the top seed Duke University, Williams led the team to achieve a major reversal and advance to the quarter-finals.

But Derrick Williams is the easiest type of combo forward.

When Derrick Williams was drafted, he was known as a dual-energy forward who could be both inside and out.

But playing a power forward is not tall enough, and playing a small forward is cumbersome.

Not top-level athleticism, poor shooting, average defense, poor rebounding.

It's a strange thing to be able to play in this situation!

"In 2011, with the fourth pick in the first round, the Denver Nuggets selected a 2.08-meter forward, Tristan Thompson from the University of Texas~~!35

Tristan Thompson is referred to as TT.

The future is an important factor for the Cavaliers to win the championship.

In the original history, when the Clippers traded the first-round pick, the Cavaliers chose Tristan Thompson.

But this history, the Clippers trade is guided by Long.

Naturally, there is no such thing as a knight.

After the Clippers made the playoffs, this pick turned into a rotten Nuggets.

The Nuggets are indeed lacking in insiders, otherwise, Kenneth Farid, the 'Orc', would not have been chosen in the original history.

It's normal to pick Tristan Thompson now.

It is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers' unprotected first round in 2012 is now in the hands of the Nuggets.

"In 2011, with the fifth pick in the first round, the Toronto Raptors selected Jonas Valanciunas from Lithuania, a 2.13-meter center!

The choice of the Raptors is no different from the original history.

"In 2011, with the seventh pick in the first round, the Sacramento Kings selected a 2.06-meter forward, Bismack Biyombo from Congo! 99

Biyombo can be said to be selected entirely by talent.

That's how the draft report described Biyombo.

He has amazing wingspan and excellent athleticism, has excellent shot blocking ability, and is very shocking on the defensive end.

And the timing and reaction of blocking shots are very good, and he is often regarded as the patron saint of the basket.

He runs fast, has a mature and positive attitude to the game, and is a catalyst for the team's defensive end.

The strong lower body strength and frame prove that Biyombo has the NBA-level physical conditions, and the muscles are also strong enough to handle the hand-to-hand combat of rebounding.

It can be said that Biyombo's talent and defensive awareness are already very good.

The draft report also mentioned Biyombo's offense.

His basic skills and skills are also very poor, and it is difficult to improve in a short time.

The footsteps and offensive skills are almost nothing, the reaction speed of the offensive end is also questionable, and the jump shot is not very standard. The inside line holds the ball very low and is easily broken.

Biyombo has a four-year, $72 million contract in the future.

This contract basically gives him talent and defense.

If Biyombo's offense is really developed, it's not a big problem to become an All-Star, not to mention becoming a superstar.

This is also the reason why in the original history, the gang leader Qiao insisted on trading Biyombo.

""々In 2011, the ninth pick in the first round, the Indiana Pacers selected a 1.85-meter guard, Kemba Walker from the University of Connecticut! 55

Although in the NBA period, Kemba Walker is also an All-Star.

But Kemba Walker was also a legend in college.

On April 2, 2011, Kemba Walker received the 2011 "Bob Cousy Award".

This award was established by the Basketball Hall of Fame to reward the best point guard of the year in the national college, and named after the legendary guard Hall of Fame player Bob Cousy.

During the entry into the NCAA National Championship, Kemba Walker helped the University of Concord to eliminate San Diego, Arizona and other famous schools and reach the national semi-finals.

(Wang Wang Hao)

Walker averaged 23.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game this season.

He is one of the only two players in the United States who can average 20+5+5 per game, and the total score of 931 points has created a single-season scoring team record for Concordia.

At the same time, Walker also created a single-season record for total playing time, average playing time, total free throws and total free throws made.

Shortlisted for the John Wooden Award and shortlisted for the Naismith Prize.

In the second semifinal of the NCAA Tournament, No. 3-seeded Connecticut edged out No. 4-seeded Kentucky by one point, 56-55.

Kemba Walker contributed 18 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
