    When talking about these surprising players and the Kings' enviable replacement, we have to mention the draft that has ended a long time ago!  In fact, there are many highlights in this year's draft, and many players also supported the 2008 draft and poured into the NBA, becoming part of the army trying to prove themselves!  Zhang Weifeng naturally witnessed the entire process of the 2008 draft!  In fact, he and Petrie had already made this year's draft decision beforehand!  At that time, in order to win a first-round pick, Zhang Weifeng and Petrie had a lot of theories. However, in the end, Zhang Weifeng failed, and Petrie only gave him the second-round pick at his disposal!  However, in Zhang Weifeng's opinion, this is enough. He can use these second-round picks to show his ability as a reborn player for the first time, and use his rebirth advantage to win a handful of good players in the draft!  !  After all, that would give him more weight to compete for the highest honor in the new season!  The 2008 draft was held on June 27, 2008, Beijing time, at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City.  The draft will be broadcast live through the US ESPN TV station to 203 countries and regions around the world.  Because after experiencing the Olympic Games, basketball has attracted more and more attention, and the ratings are very high. Therefore, this draft is also quite interesting!  Although no one calls this draft a big draft year!  However, Zhang Weifeng knows that the overall quality of this rookie class can definitely surpass the 2003 Platinum Generation.  In fact, compared with 2003, the only difference between 2008 and 2003 is the superstar!  In Zhang Weifeng¡¯s memory.  There are just Westbrook and Love!  And the two of them haven't been able to reach that level from beginning to end!  And this year, the Kings have a total of 6 draft picks!  Although the best of these picks is only the 24th pick.  The remaining five are second-round picks.  But Zhang Weifeng also regarded these draft picks as a treasure!  It's really a pity that I didn't get the right to pick the 24th pick!  However, Petrie is able to allow him to use these second-round picks at will, which is enough to show that the Kings now attach great importance to Zhang Weifeng!  After all, a player who can lead the Kings back to the playoffs in his rookie season and achieve an astonishing 55 wins can also make the Dream Team, whose lineup is extremely evil, once again make the Olympics a nightmare. This kind of player  It can no longer be measured by some money. As the general manager, he must do everything he can to win this player's heart to the Kings!  And for this, Petrie is naturally willing to pay these inconsequential second-round picks!  Zhang Weifeng and Petrie also argued for a long time about who to choose with the 24th pick.  After all, the player selected here is going to play with Zhang Weifeng.  Therefore, Petrie also chose to seek Zhang Weifeng's opinion.  After the two people had a long talk, the final decision was to take down Batum!  In fact, it was indeed a surprise to get Batum with the 24th pick.  At that time, Zhang Weifeng and Petrie planned to use the big pitcher Ryan Anderson, but the draft developed a bit dramatically!  Therefore, the Kings had to choose Batum with the 24th pick!  Zhang Weifeng knows that it is not easy for Batum to perform particularly well in the first two years. After all, this French young man needs some time to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA!  certainly.  Zhang Weifeng chose Batum based on his own plans. After all, if he wants a big deal in the future, what he needs is chips!  And now, Zhang Weifeng is using these draft picks to build the weight that will form a dynasty lineup in the future!  In the 2008 draft, the number one pick was still Derrick Rose, this year.  He became the unique candidate for the top pick!  Although Noah left, Brad Miller returned to the Bulls, and in this transaction, the Bulls also received a 12th overall pick from the Kings!  Speaking of this pick, it is actually related to the original trade between the Kings and the Raptors!  at that time.  Spencer Hawes and Uduri were sent to the Raptors, and at that time the Raptors had an unprotected first-round pick in 2008!  It sounds like the Kings are lucky.  In the 2007-08 season, several Raptors generals suffered injuries one after another. In desperation, the Raptors management announced that the season was bad, and the result was that the Kings were cheap!  And this first-round pick is also very lucky to be the 12th pick in the lottery!  Zhang Weifeng and Petrie felt that this pick had no particular use. After all, it takes time to select another rookie and train it.  For this reason, Zhang Weifeng set his sights on Joakim Noah, a rookie at the same level who plays for the Bulls!  Noah played pretty well for the Bulls!  But the Bulls are still the bottom team in the Eastern Conference, and the management believes that if they want to recreate the Bulls dynasty, they need a bold trade!  When I saw the trade weight proposed by the Kings, the deal was finally facilitated!  The Bulls got Brad Miller, a two-time All-Star who is experienced and still powerful, and the Kings also received a first-round pick with the 12th overall pick. From the Bulls' point of view, this deal is not bad!  So they willingly gave away Joakim Noah!  After acquiring Derrick Rose with the No. 1 pick, the Bulls management took another 1An insider was signed with the 2nd pick, and it was Roy Hibbert who was as tall as 218cm!  This result surprised Zhang Weifeng. Although Hibbert does not have the ability of an All-Star, he is indeed a player more suitable for the Bulls!  And after Noah left, this is indeed a good addition!  And in this way, the Bulls will have two rookies in the lottery in the new season!  In fact, Zhang Weifeng has always felt that if Brook Lopez had not been selected by the Nets, the Bulls would most likely choose this big man with strong offensive ability!  In fact, the real changes in draft picks started after the lottery draft!  The first is the 17th pick in the first round!  This pick is actually the Kings¡¯ draft pick!  The Kings exchanged the 17th pick with the Sonics' 24th and 32nd picks!  As a result, the Sonics, holding the 17th pick, will naturally consider it carefully!  The SuperSonics' draft feature has always been to reinforce whatever they need!  Therefore, they targeted the big men who had no choice!  Originally, they might have been interested in Roy Hibbert, who had an obvious height advantage, but they had no choice but to be taken advantage of by the Bulls in advance!  After some thinking, the answer the Sonics gave with the 17th pick turned out to be JaVale McGee!  When Zhang Weifeng heard the news, his jaw almost dropped to the ground. Brother Yan was going to become a teammate of Westbrook and Kevin Durant!  !  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
