Chapter 662: The 2008 NBA Draft!
On June 27, 2008, in the Green Room of the Theater in Madison Square Garden, New York, everyone's eyes were drifting towards Afflalo's table.
As this year's No. 6 pick, Afflalo's round table surpassed Rose, Beasley, Mayo and others in one fell swoop after the emergence of Yes, and became the well-deserved focus of the audience.
At this moment, Rose, Beasley, Mayo, Westbrook, Love, Gallinari, Gordon, Joe Alexander, Lopez brothers, Roy Hibbert and many other popular rookies are all paying attention now. All at Afflalo's Round Table.
The same goes for the family and friends around them.
Afflalo, who had always liked stinky farts, enjoyed this kind of gaze.
"Hahahaha, it's my friends and relatives who have the cards!"
"I only have one family and friends, but I can kill everyone in an instant!"
A rather arrogant statement.
It is also a speech that is quite consistent with Afflalo's style.
After hearing Afflalo's arrogant speech, no one else in the Green Room showed any intention of standing up and slapping Afflalo in the face.
Because Afflalo is right.
Although these words are a bit arrogant, the appearance of yes can indeed kill everyone in the little green room instantly.
Of course, although there is a card on the card, this card has nothing to do with Afflalo.
The reason why yes is looked at like this by these rookies is not just because the person here is yes, the protagonist of the current NBA.
More importantly, the draft picks currently owned by the Seattle SuperSonics!
Pick No. 11!
The trade between the Cavaliers and Seattle SuperSonics for David Lee is no secret. Now the Cavaliers' first-round pick is already in the hands of the Seattle SuperSonics!
If the previous pick of the Seattle SuperSonics with the 28th pick in the first round was a luxury for all the rookie players, becoming a teammate of yes would be a luxury.
However, the Seattle SuperSonics now have the 11th pick in the draft!
It can be said that many people here have such fantasies!
Who doesn't know now that Kevin Durant, the second-in-command of the Seattle SuperSonics, may miss all regular seasons next season. Now the Seattle SuperSonics need someone who can replace Kevin Durant!
After Kevin Durant showed his prowess in this year's playoffs, many people felt that Yes had found his Pippen.
Many people also feel that Yes finally no longer has to look for his Pippen. He has already cultivated his Pippen.
But now, when this Pippen will be absent for nearly a season, and may not be as brave as he once was even after hard work, the role of Pippen next to yes will once again attract the attention of the world.
Pippen's position next to yes is already vacant, and the Seattle SuperSonics are indeed preparing to find a new Pippen.
That's why the SuperSonics traded for the No. 11 pick, which was prepared for Pippen next to Yes.
This time, Pippen's position, which has once again attracted the world's attention, has become more attractive and more sought-after.
After all, Durant’s miracle has just passed, regular season scoring leader, All-NBA Second Team, Best Rookie, averaging 35+ per game in the regular season, second in points per game in the playoffs, championship, playoffs Averaging 35+ points per game...
Putting aside Durant's shooting percentage, let's ask, how many rookies in NBA history can match Durant's performance in the regular season and playoffs last season?
Durant is different from Magic Duncan. He did not get all this because of his superb strength. The reason why he got all this is entirely because of the training of yes!
Training regardless of cost!
Why would yes train Durant regardless of the cost and train Durant from an ordinary player as Durant himself said to an offensive superstar?
Because Durant is identified by yes as his Pippen!
As long as they can become the Pippen recognized by yes next to yes, then they can replicate Durant's achievements this season next season!
No rookie can resist Durant's achievements in the NBA this season.
Even Rose, who had received the Bulls' guarantee, knew clearly that he could not resist such a temptation.
It's not because these rookies are too powerful, it's because yes's appeal is too great.
As long as they are favored by Yes and become Pippen next to Yes, they can get everything they want in the NBA.
"Yes, do you still have the final say regarding the SuperSonics' No. 11 pick this year?"
When Afflalo asked this question, the ears of the young players in the entire Little Green Room stood up.
"certainly."
Ye Si's answer was very clear, calm and simple.
And hearing Ye Si's answer, the faces of the young players around him were filled with excitement!
"Yes will personally select rookies this year, and yes will train Pippen this year!"
"As long as you are selected by the SuperSonics, you will definitely become a target of yes's key training next season!"
For a moment, the entire little green house felt like something had suddenly changed.
As the only favorite for this year's No. 1 pick, Rose can clearly feel the change in the atmosphere.
Before yes appeared, Ross knew very well that he was the envy of everyone in the room.
Because the Bulls have said more than once that they can give everything for Rose.
In other words, the Bulls must be prepared to trade the Heat's No. 1 pick no matter what.
If the Bulls get the No. 1 pick, they will definitely choose Rose.
A player who can be given everything by a team, can this not be enviable?
In previous years, even the top pick might not be able to gain such trust from the team right away.
Even rookies at the level of Yao Ming and James do not receive such treatment.
The last rookie who was treated like Rose as soon as he entered the NBA was Yes!
All rookies this year are envious of the Bulls' dedication to Rose, of course.
But now, Rose clearly feels that he may no longer be the most envied character.
The person most envied by the rookies on the scene right now is probably No. 11 this year who was personally selected by yes, that is, the next Scottie Pippen of the Seattle SuperSonics!
Being drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics and becoming the next Pippen? !
Many people at the scene were in a hot mood.
The No. 11 pick that the Sonics have this year is not very high, but it is also not that low.
In this year's NBA draft, in addition to the six top rookies such as Rose, Beasley, Mayo, Wellsbrook, Love, Afflalo, etc., the strength of the other rookies is quite close.
Such closeness means that anyone is likely to be selected by yes with the 11th overall pick.
As long as you are selected by yes with the 11th overall pick, you will become a phoenix!
"Who will be the lucky guy?"
For a moment, the entire Green Room, except for the six top rookies, was thinking about it in their minds.
There are not as many players sitting in the little green room this year as there were a bunch of Jordan Magic players last season. There are a total of 16 players in this year's little green room.
In addition to the six top prospects, there are ten players.
These top ten rookie players can theoretically be selected with No. 11.
As a European player, Gallinari has a very good prospect in this year's draft. Although he is generally considered not very athletic and not very good at defense, he has excellent singles and comprehensive offensive skills. Mention the 2.08 meter figure. With his quite attractive height, his lowest draft template is Lakers player Turkoglu, and his highest achievement can even reach Seattle SuperSonics small forward and scoring champion Kevin Durant.
Gallinari is quite satisfied with his NBA draft prospects this year.
Perhaps the only dissatisfaction is that those draft experts limited his template to Durant.
Durant's current achievements in the NBA are indeed very high, including rookie scoring champion, second team, and championship.
However, the whole world knows how Durant's achievements came about. Of course he also knows very well. It's really about talent and ability. He doesn't think he will be any worse than Durant as a rookie!
He is already comparable to the rookie Durant, so what's the point of setting his template on Durant?
Even if his highest template is not Tracy McGrady, he should at least be at the level of Guy!
Of course, this is what he thinks in his heart. Although he doesn't think highly of Durant's strength in his heart, everyone is mutually exclusive, but he also knows that he needs to prove this in the NBA before he can do it!
And now, there is just an opportunity!
Kevin Durant's injury caused the Seattle SuperSonics to lose a small forward. Now the Seattle SuperSonics are in desperate need of a starting small forward.
And I am the best choice!
Regardless of strength, prospects, and draft picks, they are all very suitable!
The top template in the draft is Durant?
When I get selected by yes, then come on as a substitute for me after Durant returns from injury!
Scouts say I have a flamboyant personality and am not like an ordinary European player.
Hum hum, do I have a flamboyant personality?
This is the same confidence you have after you have strength!
I just have such confidence!
Although among the sixteen people in the small green room, ten are likely to be selected by the Seattle SuperSonics.
But these ten people are also divided into levels.
Among these ten people, the rookies who are small forwards are naturally the most excited.
Now that the Sonics have injured Durant and are missing Pippen, what is Pippen's position? What's Durant's position?
Small forward!
Gallinari's heart is surging now, and Joe Alexander, who is of Chinese and American descent, is also surging with emotion.
Because he is also a small forward!
In the scouting report of the draft experts, not only is he not inferior to the rookie Durant, his talent, his future, everything about him is better than Durant, and more importantly, he will say Chinese!
He was born to go to the Seattle SuperSonics!
only……
It is precisely because he is so outstanding that his draft prospects are slightly higher. Although the ten players are almost the same, there are some differences. Of course, he is at the front.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have acted so good!"
I really didn't expect that the Seattle SuperSonics would have the 11th pick, so his excellence turned into a liability.
Small forwards like Gallinari and Joe Alexander are in a very emotional mood right now.
In addition to these small forwards, the other player who is most excited and anticipated is Mayo, who has always been considered one of the top six rookies.
It is said that the No. 11 pick held by the Seattle SuperSonics has nothing to do with the top six rookies like him.
But Mayo, as a party involved, knows very well that the actual situation is not like this at all.
His draft workouts this year were very bad!
This year he tried out with the Heat, the Mavericks, the Bulls, the Clippers, the New York Knicks, the Nets...
He worked out with nearly every team that had a top-10 pick.
But the results of the trial training were not so satisfactory.
He could see that the Heat and Bulls had no interest in him. The Mavericks were originally very interested in him, but in the end they kept shaking their heads at him. The Clippers were also full of expectations for him. Later, when he left, the Clippers But people hurt him deeply.
"It's far worse than our Nick Young. He doesn't have the power to attack."
Far worse than Nick Young...
No strong attack ability...
This is the conclusion he came to after trying out in this circle of NBA.
His height is only 1.96 meters. With this height, he can play three positions in the NCAA and high school, but in the NBA, he can only play shooting guard and point guard.
But he lacks the playmaking talent and vision of a point guard.
He also doesn't have as good skills as yes.
More importantly, his jumping, speed and other athletic abilities are not that top-notch in the NBA.
When his skills and athletic ability can't help him beat his opponents powerfully.
He is not as tall as Nick Young and can use pull-ups as a last resort, which made his start in the NBA extremely bad.
In fact, it's not that he didn't discover this, he discovered it when he was in the NCAA!
In high school, the gap between him and Beasley was not that big. Beasley could be invincible in high school, and he could also be invincible in high school.
But in the NCAA, Beasley can still be invincible, but he is no longer invincible...
In the NBA, he doesn't know whether Beasley can continue to be invincible.
But he, he knew very well that he had already felt his limit!
According to many scouts, he may now have the ability to be close to a quasi-All-Star player.
His future is at least an All-Star level.
But he knows very well that if no one can help him break through his future, he will be a quasi-All-Star at best.
After the humiliating failure in the NCAA, three months have passed. He has been working hard, but his strength has not improved at all!
His inability to move forward has been discovered by more and more teams.
"He hasn't changed at all compared to when he was in the NCAA. No, maybe he's a little stronger. It can be seen that OJ has been training hard recently."
This is what the Nets, the last team he tried out with, said about him.
Such comments have made him fearful.
One of this year's top six rookies, Mayo feels that his current situation is not that good.
He's really afraid of falling outside the top six draft picks.
He was really afraid of this happening before the Cavaliers traded the pick to the Seattle SuperSonics.
but now……
He really wants his draft stock to plummet!
Not just out of the top six, but preferably out of the top ten!
He is now extremely eager to be selected by yes!
On other teams, his height would not allow him to play small forward.
But next to yes, he can definitely play small forward!
In other teams, his skills are not so superb, and his athletic talent is not so outstanding, which makes him who has always played with talent lose his direction.
But with yes, yes can definitely find a direction that suits him!
He doesn't want to be just a quasi-All-Star player his entire life!
He wants to be a superstar!
Even if he can't become a superstar, he still wants to become an All-Star!
As long as he can be selected by yes with the 11th pick!
As long as he can be Pippen next to yes!
Mayo is very excited now, because this draft is a draft related to his life and future.
Most of the rookies in the Little Green Room are excited. Perhaps the only one who is anxious is James Harden.
When James Harden heard Ye Si said that he was still in charge of this draft, he was really struck by lightning!
Before the draft, SuperSonics general manager Presti promised him that he would definitely work hard to get him.
He has also been expecting Presti to be a lottery pick around Rondo.
His draft prediction is No. 16, and as long as he gets a pick around No. 14, he will definitely be taken away.
But obviously, the SuperSonics' draft pick this time is 11!
This position is too high for him!
If the Sonics pick is around 14, he is confident that he is the best choice for this position!
But now the SuperSonics' draft pick is No. 11, and he really doesn't have the confidence to think that he is the best choice for this position!
At position 11, there are too many players to choose from!
And yes came here this time, obviously to choose his Pippen!
And he is a shooting guard...
Although he can feel it and yes likes him quite a bit, this cannot change the fact that he is a shooting guard!
In the NBA, it is difficult for him to play small forward!
Maybe he can play, but yes, wouldn't it be nice to use this pick to select a small forward with real potential?
Anyway, yes has the ability to develop any player into an All-Star or even a superstar. Why wouldn't he choose a small forward with excellent static physical talent and a 1.96-meter beggar version of Mayo?
Is it just because he has a big app that yes likes?
Maybe yes can be so willful when selecting role players and choose people according to their own preferences, but when it comes to selecting their own Pippen, yes is definitely not that willful!
Especially since he made a willful decision last year and chose Durant.
What will happen to me if I don't get drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics this year?
James Harden can no longer even imagine it.
The most extreme case is that he only participated in the SuperSonics' trial training, and other teams did not know him that well. Moreover, he deliberately gave away his strength and talent during the Seattle trial training.
Originally before his trial training, his lowest template was Ginobili, and the highest template was Jordan.
But now, his draft template, let alone the lowest one, is shameful, and the highest one has become Ginobili...
Of course, it's not a shame to reach the highest level of Ginobili's achievements. This is his true level when he doesn't follow the template around Yes.
However, I am really afraid that it is too real!
The Seattle SuperSonics didn't draft him, and other teams didn't know much about him. He wouldn't lose in the first round and end up falling to the second round like Ginobili, and then come out, right?
He really doesn’t want to be so real!
As the draft time approaches, with Afflalo and Yes chatting and laughing, his current mood is really uneasy.
Maybe everyone here is excited and looking forward to it, but he is the only one who is scared now, really scared!
Just as James Harden was worried, anxious and scared, David Stern, the league president, slowly walked out with an envelope in his hand amidst the huge boos from the New York fans.
David Stern, who walked out amid boos, did not look for the future NBA players as he did in the past. Instead, he directly set all his eyes on the handsome young man sitting with Afflalo. on the body.
Those eyes were so kind, so gentle, and so loving.
Looking at David Stern's eyes like this on TV, everyone in the Bulls team really felt shuddering!
The Bulls' record this year is second to last, but they were fooled by David Stern and could only get the guaranteed fifth pick!
If it weren't for the current draft rules, the penultimate record would have at least guaranteed the fifth pick. They even believe that David Stern can beat their Bulls and those teams with better records to the end!
This loving old man on TV has a dark heart and a bit too cruel a hand!
The Bulls are being robbed so miserably by that guy Pat Riley, and it's all thanks to David Stern!
The Bulls watching TV now are full of resentment towards David Stern.
David Stern at the draft didn't know any of this stuff.
"Yes, the way David Stern looked at me made me feel a little nauseous..."
"..."
Yesi was speechless to Afflalo, who always felt good about himself.
After David Stern withdrew his most loving eyes from Ye Si, he opened the first letter with a smile.
"In the 2008 NBA draft, with the first pick in the first round, the Miami Heat selected guard Derrick Rose from the University of Memphis!"
Ross, still Ross!
When Rose walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, many people watching below knew that before long, he would be traded to the Bulls by the Heat, which has Deron and Wade!
The Bulls will use everything they have to get this yes second place!
For a moment, everyone in the world looked at Rose with complex expressions in their eyes.
The last person who was robbed like this had already turned over with the city that had lost everything for him.
And Derrick Rose, like Yes, can he lead the Bulls to turn over?
Many people around the world are speculating now, but the draft is still going on.
"With the second pick in the first round of the 2008 NBA draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected forward Michael Beasley from Kansas State University!"
Beasley looked very ugly when the Heat selected Rose with the first pick.
This meant that his efforts over the past few months were in vain.
He has no problem with Rose, but he has a big problem with the Heat!
Is this guy Pat Riley confused?
Rob the bull, rob the wool!
Is the combined value of the entire Bulls team as high as mine?
Don’t you know the sympathy Wade and I had for each other when I left Miami? !
"Michael, I'm sure we'll see you again soon."
Wade’s words still ring in my ears!
He believed Wade was sincere.
but……
Beasley's expression on the stage was completely different from Rose's wry smile just now, and his face was frighteningly dark.
At this time, the one with the same dark face as Beasley was Wade, who was watching TV at home and also paying attention to this draft.
Wade's face looked a little confused now.
"This guy really has a personality!"
Afflaluo looked like it had nothing to do with him, while Ye Si nodded secretly.
This kid does have a personality, and his head is full of edges and corners.
It just depends on whether anyone can sharpen his sharp edges.
However, it's difficult. This guy is a rookie who does what James says and wins in the end.
Most people, except those at his level and Jordan's level, really may not be able to grind him down.
Beasley's arrogance made David Stern quite embarrassed.
Although David Stern was praising in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.
Geniuses have special privileges here.
He was willing to tolerate disrespect from any genius.
"2008 NBA draft, third overall pick in the first round..."
David Stern is still slowly announcing this exciting answer.
Afflalo in the audience could no longer sit still.
"Is it necessary to be so slow? Rose and Beasley have both come out, and Mayo must be next."
As soon as Afflalo finished speaking, David Stern's answer was announced.
An answer that shocked the whole world.
"In the 2008 NBA draft, with the third pick in the first round, the Los Angeles Clippers selected the guard from UC, Russell Westbrook!"
Not Mayo? !
The look on Afflalo's face now is wonderful.
To be honest, when David Stern read Westbrook's name, the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful.
Including Westbrook himself.
After a year of NCAA baptism, the whole world knows that Mayo has opened the gap between him and Beasley Rose.
However, the whole world really didn't expect that Mayo even lost the third pick!
Under Ye Si's eyes, the expression on Westbrook's face was clouded when he walked onto the stage.
This is really confusing.
His recent draft prospects are very fast, but they are really not so fast as to threaten Mayo.
"Congratulations, young man."
It wasn't until David Stern congratulated Westbrook that everyone recovered from the shock.
"I heard that Mayo's trial training was not very good. Could it be that Mayo's trial training performance was really very poor?!"
"How bad must Mayo's trial training be for the Clippers to give up on him?!"
Seeing on TV that the team selected Westbrook with the third pick, Nick Young in front of the TV clapped with satisfaction.
Mayo, he personally denied it.
Mayo's test with the Clippers was very bad, with a barefoot height of 1.91 meters, a wingspan of 1.98 meters, and a standing reach of 2.53 meters. More importantly, his vertical jump was only less than 78 centimeters, and his run-up jump was only 1.04 meters. , and the return run in the penalty area was only 11.04 seconds.
There is no need to compare with others, just compare it with the Wizards guard, Sun Yue, who is 2.05 meters in the same class as him. Sun Yue's return run in the penalty area is 10 seconds 6, and his in-situ bounce is 74 centimeters.
Mayo's skills are certainly better than Sun Yue's, much better, but they are still not to the point where people can ignore his hard talents.
Height, weight, jumping, speed, and skills are all good, but they all appear mediocre. In addition, he lacks key positional attributes and a strong enough personality, making it difficult for people to take notice of him.
In contrast, Nick Young is quite satisfied with Westbrook.
Westbrook's vertical jump is 89 centimeters, and his run-up jump reaches 1.16 meters. Westbrook's height is slightly shorter, but his wingspan is 2.03 meters.
At the draft meeting, everyone was filled with sighs and sighs.
Mayo, on the other hand, clenched his fists.
What seemed surprising to the whole world was not that surprising to him.
"Russell is awesome and created the biggest surprise in this year's draft!"
"But with the fourth pick, nothing will happen to the Warriors. It must be Mayo!"
Seeing Afflalo's vow so confidently, Ye Si was speechless.
However, the Warriors are indeed most likely to select Mayo.
Um? !
"In the 2008 NBA draft, with the fourth pick in the first round, the Golden State Warriors selected UC guard Aaron Afflalo!"
Afflalo, who was still steadfast in his vows, this time it was his turn to become confused.
Even in my opinion, Afflalo is more confused than Westbrook.
"Mayo didn't even hold on to the fourth pick?!"
"Another huge surprise!"
For a moment, the entire scene was in commotion.
And David Stern's voice continued amid the commotion.
"In the 2008 NBA draft, with the fifth pick in the first round, the Chicago Bulls selected Kevin Love, an insider from UC!"
Still not Mayo!
"In the first round of the 2008 NBA draft, with the sixth overall pick, the New York Knicks selected the forward from Italy, Gallinari!"
Still not Mayo!
Gallinari, who was selected, had a very ugly look on his face.
"In the first round of the 2008 NBA draft, with the seventh overall pick, the New Jersey Nets selected center Brook Lopez from Stanford University!"
Lopez was very excited. Although it was a pity that he did not go to the SuperSonics, he is a center. Even if he went, he would be a substitute. Going to the Nets is not bad, and this pick is even better.
But, there is still no Mayo!
"In the first round of the 2008 NBA draft, with the eighth overall pick, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Joe Alexander from West Virginia University!"
When Joe Alexander was selected, the entire Bucks management was excited. They finally selected a player with Chinese elements!
In the past two years, being abused by yes has been so painful!
As for Joe Alexander, he was a little confused and deeply disappointed that he was not going to the SuperSonics...
As for Mayo, his fists were tightly clenched into fists.
Uneasy, scared, relieved, and excited, his heart was extremely complicated now.
When the Bucks selected Alexander instead of Mayo with the eighth pick, although the scene was still in an uproar, their ability to accept it had been greatly enhanced.
"In the first round of the 2008 NBA draft, with the ninth overall pick, the Charlotte Hornets selected Robin Lopez, an insider from Stanford University!"
Robin Lopez?
Another surprising choice. When David Stern read out this name, the most surprising thing on the scene was not that the Bobcats did not select Mayo.
But the Bobcats actually chose Robin Lopez, who is not a member of the Little Green Room, nor did they choose the inside man DeAndre Jordan who is currently sitting in the Little Green Room!
DeAndre Jordan has always been a genius in the American basketball world. Even if Kevin Love turns him into a dog in this year's NCAA, he can continue to sit in the little green room.
This is his talent.
But obviously, his failure in the NCAA this year still affected his draft stock.
Robin Lopez is not a member of the Little Green Room, but he is sitting in the Little Green Room now. Because of his brother Brook Lopez, he is now sitting on Brook Lopez's round table.
Lopez was excited to be selected by the Charlotte Hornets, formerly the Bobcats, now renamed the Hornets.
He is a pure defensive center. For many people, following Hornets head coach Larry Brown is a quite desperate thing.
But for him, this is definitely a very good choice.
If you ask him to attack like his brother, he won't be able to do it, but if you ask him to defend, he thinks he can do it.
What's more, this is the ninth pick in the first round. This pick is something he has never thought about before!
"One family produced two lottery players in the same year!"
"The Lopez family has set an NBA record!"
Robin Lopez's draft surprise, the happiest people are definitely the families of the two Lopez brothers.
"So far, the Lopez family is the biggest winner!"
Since there is a biggest winner, who is the biggest loser?
The whole world's eyes are on Mayo and DeAndre Jordan on TV.
"It's almost the tenth pick, and Mayo hasn't been selected yet. A super genius like Mayo won't end up in the hands of yes, right?!"
"Yes, can I really get my own real Pippen this year?!"
For a moment, all the coconut fans on the Internet became excited.
After the results of Mayo's trial with the Clippers, a few people including the Clippers knew, even David Stern did not know.
Even the physical test data of players going to the team are sometimes confidential, and the players and the team have even signed a confidentiality agreement.
For coconut fans and even most people, Mayo is still the super genius with shining stars!
And this super genius is about to fall into the hands of yes!
What a terrifying thing!
"Yes can develop a player like Durant into an offensive superstar, but what about Mayo?!"
Many people are excited, including Mayo himself!
There is only one last option left.
There is really only one last option left!
Now the whole world is waiting for the king's choice!
"In the 2008 NBA draft, with the tenth pick in the first round, the Sacramento Kings selected Jason Thompson, an insider from Reed University!"
An insider who played 20+10+25 blocks and 1 steal in the NCAA for two consecutive seasons!
Now, no one cares about the insider named Jason Thompson. All eyes are on yes and Mayo!
Feeling the proximity of all the live broadcast cameras, Mayo was even excited to stand up.
Even David Stern’s head is exploding right now!
He gave the SuperSonics the No. 2 pick last year, and it was a waste, missing out on a bunch of real talents and selecting Durant.
This time, he didn't give anything, could he gain a real genius? !
David Stern felt that his hand holding the envelope was trembling, but his hands did not tremble when he held the No. 1 pick envelope!
"Mayo, it's coming to the bowl!"
Many coconut fans have even photoshopped photos of Mayo wearing a SuperSonics jersey on the Internet!
Now coconut flour fans around the world are getting excited.
At the scene, James Harden's heart was completely cold, and James Harden was also trembling, but he was trembling with fear.
Between this and Mayo, except for fools, everyone knows who to choose!
"In the 2008 NBA draft, with the eleventh pick in the first round, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected guard James Harden from Arizona State University!"
After David Stern's trembling voice finished speaking, the whole world turned from extreme noise to extreme silence at this moment.
On TV, the still cold and paralyzed Yes, the excited James Harden covering his heart, and the excited Mayo standing with eyes almost bulging, formed a set of extremely contrasting pictures. “yes didn’t choose Mayo?!” Is yes stupid? !James really didn’t expect that Mayo would fall to the 11th pick by accident, and what was even more unexpected was that yes hadn’t chosen it yet!James was wondering if Ye Si was stupid, while the other James was covering his heart with his left hand, and subconsciously reached for his penis with his right hand...
