Chapter 240 Draft
"In 2005, the first pick in the first round of the NBA draft belonged to the Milwaukee Bucks, and they had five minutes to think about it."

After Stern finished speaking, he turned and walked backstage.

Two minutes later, Stern came out and announced the Bucks' selection.

"In 2005, with the first pick in the first round of the NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected 2-meter-tall center Andrew Bogot from the University of Utah!"

Lin Yu was not surprised by the Bucks' choice.

After all, before the draft, Bodog praised him too much and directly made him a White Duncan.

Which team doesn't want a Duncan?
Even in the small ball era of the future, big men will still be the first choice of many teams.

Davis, Towns, Deandre Ayton, Bennett...

It seems like a strange person has sneaked in, but the big man is still the first choice in the NBA.

"In 2005, with the second pick in the first round of the NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected 2-meter forward Marvin Williams from the University of North Carolina!"

The Hawks selected Marvin Williams just like in the original history.

The Jazz, with the third pick, then snatched up Deron. "In 2005, with the third pick in the first round of the NBA draft, the Utah Jazz selected the 1-meter-tall guard Deron Williams from the University of Kansas!"

The LOGO man then grabbed Paul.

"In 2005, with the fourth pick in the first round of the NBA Draft, the Memphis Grizzlies selected 1-meter-tall guard Chris Paul from Wake Forest University!"

Lin Yu was not surprised at all to see Paul wearing the Grizzlies hat as he wished.

LOGO man’s eye for talent is absolutely BUG-like.

Since he had the opportunity to choose Paul, he would not choose a player like Raymond Felton.

Seeing that Paul was snatched away, the Hornets had no choice but to choose Raymond Felton, who is known as one of the three greatest point guards in the NCAA along with Paul and Deron.

With the sixth pick, the Bobcats selected Charlie Villanueva, the college teammate of current core player Okafor.

There is actually nothing wrong with Charlie Villanueva being evaluated as a role player.

After all, in the original history, he also spent 11 seasons in the NBA.

But overall, it was a bit of a loss to select a blue-collar guy with the sixth pick.

After all, the lottery area is mainly used to select the core of the team.

The New Jersey Nets selected Channing Frye with the ninth pick.

Channing Frye, as a 3D center, helped the Cavaliers win the championship.

The Lakers selected "Little Shark" Bynum with the eleventh pick.

With the 13th pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Rashard McCants, a guard with excellent physical fitness.

Lin Yu's former teammate Joey Graham was selected by the Raptors with the 16th pick.

Danny Granger was selected by the Pacers with the 17th pick.

Lin Yu felt that the Pacers' choice of Danny Granger was very interesting.

O'Neal Jr. is the power forward for the Pacers, and Artest is the power forward for the Pacers.

In the original history, the Pacers chose Danny Granger to fill Artest's vacancy.

But this history, the Palace of Auburn Hills incident did not happen.

Choose a swing forward at the 3 or 4 position...

Lin Yu felt that the Pacers might have to make some trades based on this history.

Miller and Payton could barely hold the locker room together.

But Miller has retired and Payton is ready to leave...

And the team was eliminated by the Celtics in the second round.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Pacers may still need various trades.

The Knicks also selected David Lee with the 27th pick in the first round. The Warriors selected Curry's boss Monta Ellis with the 10th pick in the second round.

Monta Ellis was a player who also performed like an All-Star during his prime.

But his efficiency is low and his team performance is not good.

With the 76th pick in the second round, the future best sixth man Reed was selected by the ers.

The Celtics selected Ryan Gomes.

Ryan Gomez is a short and stocky 3D power forward.

In the original history, it was used as one of the bargaining chips for the transaction of Dayingte.

The purpose of selecting Ryan Gomez is also very simple, which is to make up for the departure of General, the team needs offensive space.

The 2005 draft officially ended with the Pistons selecting the last pick, Alex Ake.

After the draft, Lin Yu also began to prepare for the training camp.

The Asian Championships will start in early September. According to the original history, Yao Ming was supposed to report to the national team in early August.

But Lin Yu and Dayao are now Olympic champions after all. Considering the playoffs, the top management of the Dragon National Men's Basketball Team still hopes that the two will go to the Asian Championships.

Lin Yu didn't want to go at first, after all, he still needed A-Lin, and he couldn't beat him.

But Yao Ming had made a promise, and Lin Yu eventually went with him.

In August, Lin Yu plans to open a training camp.

It's like a hook basketball training camp.

He plans to use his influence to invite some well-known NCAA players to his training camp to expand the influence of his decision.

Roy, Aldridge, Rudy Gay and other NCAA All-Star level players have all received invitations.

When Lin Yu began to invite players on a large scale, undercurrents were also surging in the league.

Los Angeles.

Old Buss, Kupchak and the Zen Master all gathered together.

Old Buss spoke first: "Phil, which player do you want to find to assist Kobe?"

After all, the Lakers and Celtics are sworn enemies, and it's a relief to see their sworn enemies win the championship.

And they won the championship with a gentlemanly sweep of 4:1 in the series.

The most important thing is that Lin Yu is too young!

Lin Yu has just entered the league, and even if he does not continue to improve, he is still an MVP-level player.

And his peak can last for at least another ten years!
Pierce was also at his peak at this time.

Even if Pierce is older, he still has at least seven years of peak years.

An MVP-level player plus an All-Star small forward will have at least seven years of peak performance!
How many more championships can the Celtics win in these seven years?
Seeing the gap between the number of championships and the Celtics getting bigger and bigger, Old Buss was getting a little impatient.

"Joe Johnson is a good option, but his defense is average."

"Mr. Buss, we all know that defense wins championships, and the Lakers are indeed too weak in the interior at the moment."

The Zen Master's words are very clear. If Joe is traded for singles, the inside line must be strengthened.

Although Kobe is strong, he is currently an inside version.

During the Bulls' three consecutive championships, although Rodman was a blue-collar player, his defense as a power forward was impeccable.

Kupchak then suggested: "How about we trade Kwame Brown from the Wizards?"

"Kwame Brown's performance in the Wizards last season was quite remarkable. Although many people say that Kwame Brown has fallen from grace, I don't think so."
