The Golden Invincible of Basketball

The first pick in the second round belongs to the Hornets, which they had previously traded with the 76ers.

The Hornets eventually chose Frank Mason, a 1.8 short guard.

If you notice the Hornets' choices this year, you'll find that they are all choosing point guards this year.

The 8th pick was Frank Nielkina from France, and now he picks another.

This option was really intriguing in the offseason where the Walker contract expired.

After the Hornets, the other teams' choices were not too surprising.

All the way to the 40th pick.

When Tatum's assistant announced the ownership of the ranking, he also announced a new transaction.

The Pelicans gave the 60th pick and Brin Forbes, and traded the 40th pick from the Jazz.

Because it is the Pelicans draft, the fans on the spot, and some already absent-minded draft teams, look at the scene again.

The Pelicans' draft in the past few years can be called a textbook. Almost every year, the rookie hits the highlights, even super performance.

One year is luck, two years is good life, and the management of other teams will naturally pay attention and learn.

Two minutes later, Tatum's assistant walked from behind the stage to the front again, announcing the Pelicans' choice.

His choice was very straightforward.

"In the 2017 NBA draft, the 40th pick, the Pelicans' choice is Thomas Bryant, the 2.08 center, from Indiana University."

When the Pelicans made this choice, it was quite surprising.

Bryant's performance can only be considered average, averaging 281 minutes, 126 points, 66 rebounds, 15 assists and 15 blocks.

Indiana University also performed averagely this year.

And as the inside height is only 2 meters 08, height is a disadvantage.

In fact, among the candidates named by Tang Tian, ​​Stevens favored Dillon Brooks, while Demps favored Hartenstein.

But in the end, they chose to believe Tang Tian as before.

The reason why Bryant let Tang Tian choose him is also very simple, this is a d player.

The most missing thing for nba is actually not a three-point shooter or a superstar. The most missing thing is actually d.

Some people have counted 0 teams in the league. In fact, there are less than 10 d who can really play.

Things are scarce and expensive, so when Demps said that his trading order had improved to 40, Tang Tian didn't hesitate to choose.

Not to mention, Bryant is still an inside player and can carry the four or five positions he can play, which is even more scarce.

Although the ability in other aspects is almost, but the cultivation is full of strength to play rotation.

After the Pelicans made their choices, the management of each team went to understand the difference between Bryant and the fans on social media.

"Weight 109 kg, height 2.08 meters, wingspan 28 meters 28! Excellent offensive rebounds, low post skills, selected third team in the Big Ten, college 8 three-point shooting! 19 years old! You want Are here! "

"I feel like the Pelicans have picked another super rookie. With this wingspan and the black and rough that can shoot three points, the league can't find a few!"

"The Pelicans have really been drafted in recent years. They can dig for Taobao every time. It can only be said that the eyes of the other 29 teams are blind!"

"Vickey: I allow you to reorganize the language again."

"(? _?)"

"Haha, but you haven't found one thing, this rookie is called Bryant! Don I remember also nicknamed Don Bryant."

"Double Kobe lineup, just ask if you are afraid!"

"Excellent, the three consecutive championships are stable!"

...

In the heat of the fans, the 2017 NBA Draft ended.

Fulz, Ball, Tatum, and other hot rookies have attracted attention. Thomas Bryant was selected by the Pelicans because of his name and the attention.

The draft is over, and a week later, the door to the free agent market for the new season will officially open.

This week was also the most difficult one for everyone.

According to the rules, teams cannot contact free agents before the free market door opens, and all management can only change the law and reach the people they want.

Just like before, eat in private, call or whatever.

Accompanying these are all kinds of rumors.

According to the people around Jordan, Jordan has very big doubts about whether to renew Walker's top salary. He feels that Walker cannot be a star player;

...

The rumors are true and false, and there are all kinds of rumors. Before the free market door opened, they were really flying.

At this time, the fans were crying. Believing that this was not the case, and that was not the case, was quite painful.

And such days are not one or two days, but one week, and there will be no exact news until the free market door is officially opened.

Especially for fans who are far away across the ocean, because of the time difference, staying up late and other news is the norm.

Many fans even shouted on the forum that they stayed in the hospital because of the news of staying up late and so on.

Everything is surging.

But in this undercurrent, George, who had been the most interesting before, had no news.

Because George had previously designated the Pelicans, Pelican fans are still waiting!

Fans don't think about it that much, Ariza changes George, shotgun changes guns, they can all wake up laughing with dreams.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the last day of the free market door opening in 2017 is only ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Tang Tian and Olson also temporarily ended their Caribbean vacation and returned to New Orleans.

On the day he returned to New Orleans, Tang Tian received a call from someone.

"Don, I'm leaving Cleveland."

The caller was Irving.

Tang Tian is the eldest brother, and their relationship is really close.

Owen made this decision, and Tang Tian was the first person to discuss it.

Tang Tian was not too surprised at first, after all, Owen remembered that he applied for a trade this season.

Not to mention the Cavaliers don't have a crown now, worse than they remember, and it's not surprising that Irving wanted to go.

But Irving's words made him a little hesitant.

"I want to come to New Orleans."
