I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 59 It's because of you as a defensive burden that he...

"Hey, Chris Paul fell and was not picked!"

Draft war room on the second floor.

Boozer, who witnessed the birth of the new Utah Shuangsha, shouted out in surprise.

Paul's NCAA average is 21+12+5 per game, making him the number one point guard in the NCAA.

Deron's 11 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds are only half of Paul's data.

The University of Illinois, led by Delong, made it to the NCAA finals, which gave him a lot of points for his leadership.

Wake Forest University led by Paul is only in the top 32 and has no points to add.

In the previous life, Paul averaged only 16 points and 6 assists per game. Even if Paul leads Deron, it will not be much.

At that time, there would not be much controversy about how Tanhuaxiu chose.

Now Paul has a bit more lead.

Sloan's face remained calm, without any fluctuations.

That's right, how can a person who has been able to play pick-and-roll tactics for more than 20 years and make his disciples feel sick, how could he have emotions!

"No, Kazes, your partner is not Chris Paul, but Deron Williams!" Sloan said calmly.

"What!" Boozer was stunned for a moment, holding his head and shouting: "Why? Why didn't you choose Chris Paul?"

Sloan cast a glance at Boozer.

"In terms of scoring and assists, Chris Paul will be a little bit better than John Stockton.

But Paul's height is estimated to be less than 1 meters, which is lower than Stockton's 83 meters. I am afraid that in terms of defense, Stockton is a little taller than Paul's defense! "

"It's okay, Paul didn't defend, so it wasn't me!" Boozer patted his chest.

"..."

Sloan's waveless state of mind was almost broken, and he really wanted to yell at him: It's hard to explain it with your wisdom. It's because of your defensive burden that he chooses a German who is not tall enough to defend. Ron Williams!
The combination of the Utah duo complements each other. Paul and Stockton are very close and can replace Stockton, but Stockton often has it, while Karl Malone does not.

In order to activate the new Shuangsha, Sloan knocked down the superstar talent "AK47" to the core position, asked Kirilenko to assist the Shuangsha, and even brought in Okur.

This draft has never been a matter of one person, it is a system, the Eagles are like this, and the Jazz are no less.

In the end, head coach Sloan overcame all opinions and made his choice.

Stern read the third letter: "The third pick in the first round, the Utah Jazz chose..."

"Point guard from the University of Illinois, Deron Williams!"

Deron Williams stood up, hugged and kissed his mother excitedly, and when it was over, he celebrated with his wife and two-year-old daughter beside him.

Then put on the cap of the Jazz team, waved with a smile, walked to the main stage, embraced, talked, shook hands, took photos with President Stern, and stepped off the stage...

……

"In the 2005 NBA draft, the fourth overall pick in the first round, the Bobcats selected...

Point guard from Wake Forest, Chris Paul! "

Bobcats picked up a treasure, Chris Paul is the best player in the 2005 draft.

He is excellent, needless to say, but not every 1 meters is Iverson. In this talent-based league, this height still loses points very much.

This time, Michael Jordan did not come to the scene in person. Although Jordan's draft vision is poor, this time it is an open-book exam. The options given are Paul, Deron, Felton... "Three Great Point Guards" can be selected in order .

In the past, Jordan was said to be blind because he had a choice. Now he has no choice. He was a good person once.

Chris Paul's alma mater is not the University of North Carolina, but it is an authentic North Carolina native.

To paraphrase James, Paul is the son of heaven for his hometown Bobcats.

Chris Paul breathed a sigh of relief, the process of dropping the top three picks made him very unhappy, but it was a good result to be able to play for his hometown team.

After embracing and celebrating with his parents and brother, Chris Paul put on the cap of the Bobcats. Under the lightning of the guns and short cannons, he went to the main stage with a smile, hugged, talked, shook hands, took photos with President Stern, and stepped off the stage...

With the fifth overall pick, the New Orleans Hornets picked up the NCAA championship point guard Redmond Felton.

Don't look at Felton being fat, in fact, he is flexible and fat, fast, strong, strong impact, a stocky point guard, and a stable mid-range shot. He can score 13 points per game in the NCAA With 7 assists and 4 rebounds, although the upper limit is not high, but the victory is imminent and the combat power is good. He is a qualified starting point guard.

The Hornets have two guards, Baron Davis and David Wesley have left, and they need to strengthen the point guard position. It is not easy to be a random pick in a young draft. This is a solid choice.

费尔顿可以稳定用10年，场均贡献14分7篮板4助攻的表现，巅峰时候，场均可以轰下17分9助攻3篮板。

In a word, one word is stable!

Subsequently, the Portland Trail Blazers, with the 6th overall pick, continued to beat high school students, and took off the forward Martel Webster with all-round offensive skills and good athletic ability.

Webster's template is Glenn Rice, who scored 22 points in the Jordan Classic and scored 21 points in the game against the International Players at the Nike Basketball Summit. The Blazers who are rebuilding can indeed do it again prize.

The Trail Blazers have Zach Randolph. In 2004, he used the 13th pick to select the point guard and took off Telfair. In 2005, he selected the forward line. It is still very thoughtful.

Webster has outstanding talent. After entering the league, like Kobe and McGrady, he started off the bench. His progress is still very solid.

It's just a pity that the injury found him, and it was still a serious injury.

It can only be said that while the Trail Blazers' veterinarians were rampant, Feng Shui was not good. Many players came to this team and were inexplicably injured.

Fortunately, his talent is there. At his peak, he averaged 28 minutes per game and could score 11 points and 4 rebounds. Although his talent has not been realized, his efficiency is still quite high.

Immediately afterwards, with the seventh overall pick, the Toronto Raptors took Yi Jianlian...Charlie Villanueva, their lifelong enemy.

Because of his lack of eyebrows, he was nicknamed "Hero with White Eyebrows".

Villanueva is versatile offensively, capable of inside and outside, three-pointers from the outside, almost omnipotent. At the peak, he can score 16 points and 7 rebounds. Judging by the statistics, this guy is very strong.

However, the offense is very poor, the shooting selection is poor, and the defensive stream of consciousness is also very negative, lazy, and slow. At 2 meters tall, he has a somewhat "nonsense" style of play.

He partnered well with Bosh, with 13 points and 7 rebounds in his rookie season, but it was a pity that the Raptors were lucky and won the No. [-] lottery, and then sent them to the Bucks.

With the eighth pick, the Knicks chose Channing Frye.

Channing Frye is a shooting center with a height of 2 meters. He has a three-point shooting range. He played his peak performance in his rookie season, averaging 11 points and 12 rebounds per game.

Of course, what really made him famous was joining the Suns. That three-point shot, combined with Nash's pass, looked very ecstasy.
