Chapter 749 Selection of Two First-Round Picks
The Beast remembered that the Charlotte Hornets, which had the No. 12 pick in their previous life, selected forward PJ Washington from the University of Kentucky.
Of course PJ Washington is pretty good, with a height of 203cm and a weight of 102kg. His wingspan is also very good, and he is a small forward of very good size.He can play small forward in the NBA, and he can also serve as the 4th position in a small lineup, which is of course a very urgent type for the Nets.
You must know that although their current No. 3 position has Carroll from Wiggins, Carroll is really abolished and becoming more and more marginalized.As for the striker who can be 3 or 4, there is actually only Jeff Green.Hollis Jefferson has no shooting ability and cannot play in high-end games by fighting. The Beast does not intend to renew his contract in the offseason unless he can accept the basic salary.
Is there a better choice than PJ Washington?Of course there is, that is RJ Barrett, but obviously, the No. 12 pick of the Nets cannot be obtained.
So assuming that the top 11 picks in today's draft are the same as those in the previous life, then the Nets have a chance to win PJ Washington with the 12th pick in the first round.
But among the rest of the players, is there a better player than PJ Washington?
Beast remembers that the Heat chose Ronaldo with the 13th overall pick in the previous life. Of course, Ronaldo has better offensive talent than PJ Washington, but his defense is too poor, and he is at the 2nd position. He is not the most favored player type of the Nets.
The others are Sable.Saibao's defense is indeed excellent, but his shooting is too poor. It is a bit similar to the Robertson of the Thunder, who was always emptied. He is also the 2nd position, which overlaps with Holiday and Beaubois, so it is not suitable.
There is also Gewei, who is a stocky No. 4.Very good player with shooting and excellent defense. It is a puzzle to win the championship, but the upper limit is not as good as PJ Washington.
And Jordan Pu'er.Pu'er's offensive ability is indeed excellent, but the defense is weak.Beast doesn't like perimeter players without defense, so he won't consider Pu'er.
The others, either the center or the No. 1 position, are not wings, so they are not considered for the No. 12 pick.
So the beast's plan is to use the 12th pick to select PJ Washington if there is no change in the front.If PJ Washington is picked early, then consider who falls.
Anyway, with two first-round picks, the Beast's goal is to choose at least one striker.
The exciting draft has begun.
The Pelicans with the No. [-] pick did not hesitate to use this pick to select the talented Fat Tiger Zion!
There's nothing wrong with this, even if you open your eyes and know that Fat Tiger's weight is a risk of injury, but this kind of historical talent, I really don't want to miss it.
In the NBA draft, the consensus of each team is to use the lottery pick to select the most talented.The next best thing is to choose practical or good combat power.
Zion's talent, even if you look at the highlights, you can see that he is different from others. This kind of explosive power, this kind of bounce and strength is simply not like a person on earth.
The second place is still Ja Morant like the beast in his previous life!
The Knicks with the No. [-] pick selected RJ Barrett!
Followed by DeAndre Hunter, Garland...
The 11th overall pick was Cameron Johnson!
So far, PJ · Washington has not been selected!
The beast knew it was time to act!
The Nets decisively selected the striker from the University of Kentucky with the 12th pick-PJ Washington!
PJ Washington may not have thought that the Nets would pick him, but he quickly hugged his family happily, put on the Nets cap, and then took the stage to receive congratulations from NBA President Silver.
After the Nets won PJ Washington, there is still a first-round pick!
The 30th pick in the first round of Beast's previous life was combo guard Kevin Porter Jr. who graduated from the University of Southern California.
Beast doesn't really like Kevin Porter Jr., he always feels that this guy likes to play blindly, and his golf quotient is not that high.But I have to admit that it seems to be a very good choice to get him in this position, because there are no leftovers in the second round.
In this way, it seems that choosing him is also the most cost-effective choice.
In the end, by the time of the 30th pick in the first round, Kevin Porter Jr. was still not selected, and the Nets still took him into the bag!
The second-round draft has nothing to do with the Nets. They don't have a second-round pick, so their draft this year is all over.
The current lineup of the Nets looks like this (counting expiring contracts):
Centers: Jarrett Allen, Wood
Power Forward: Beast, Jeff Green, Ed Davis, Vanderbilt
Small Forwards: Andrew Wiggins, Carroll, Hollis-Jefferson, Carter, PJ Washington
Shooting guards: Beaubois, LeVert, Diallo, Kevin Porter Jr.
Point guard: Holiday, Jeremy Lin
There are 17 players in total. Considering that the contracts of Jeff Green, Ed Davis, Carroll, Hollis Jefferson, and Jeremy Lin will expire this summer, there are a total of 12 players under contract. .
The 2019-20 salary cap is $1.0914 million and the luxury tax line is $1.32627 million.Although the Nets have the Big Three, the salaries of these three are not terrible, so they did not have a super luxury tax line last season.
Since Carroll's contract expires, the Nets will definitely not renew his contract, so they can free up salary space to renew Jeff Green.
Jeff Green can be 3 or 4, with excellent athletic ability and comprehensive skills. He is a good player at the 4th position in a small lineup.The Nets can play a small lineup for a long time in the playoffs, and Jeff Green at the 4th position has a full sense of presence.
Although he is 33 years old, there is still fuel in Jeff Green's fuel tank. The Beast intends to keep him at a satisfactory price.
Ed Davis Beast doesn't plan to renew his contract. The guy who used to play pick-and-roll with Jeremy Lin for the Lakers has declined significantly. Coupled with his shooting shortcomings and weak defensive presence in the penalty area, Vanderbilt Can perfectly replace him.
As for Jeremy Lin, regardless of his role on the court or his relationship with the beast, there is still a high probability that he will renew his contract.The main issue is the length and size of the contract.
As for Carter, Beast doesn't know if he is still interested in playing in the NBA. If he is willing to play, he can continue to be the leader of the team's locker room if he stays.
Assuming that Carroll, Ed Davis, and Hollis Jefferson are not renewed, and Carter stays, then the Nets can still sign one person.
If Carter is not prepared to renew his contract, then the Nets will have two spots available.
Of course, the Nets still have two two-way contracts this season, and they can sign two people.However, players on two-way contracts cannot play in the playoffs, they can only be supplementary to the regular season.
