amp together and that they got along well?
He can learn more from Durant in the future.
After the two people finished chatting, Sun Hao also returned to the audience.
It’s almost the end of the first round at this point.
Before moving on to the Lakers’ draft picks, Stern announced the Lakers’ trade first.
The Lakers used the No. 25 pick in their hands to trade down and exchanged it for the Wizards’ No. 30 pick and a future second-round pick.
This is a very regular downward trade.
The Wizards selected Shannon Brown with the 25th overall pick.
In the finals, Lu is no longer as brave as he was in the past, and the Wizards are an inevitable choice to add point guards.
Brown is a combo guard with a height of 1.93 meters and has excellent physical fitness, especially with excellent jumping ability, which is very good for the Wizards.
The Lakers’ deal also shows that Kupchak adopted Sun Hao’s suggestion.
This was indeed the case, and the Lakers subsequently selected Millsap!
The results of this selection came out, and the Lakers fans at the scene were also a little confused.
After all, the fans’ understanding of the players is definitely not as good as the management of each team.
All they can see are draft predictions. Seeing that the Lakers used the first round to select someone who was predicted to be interrupted in the second round, it is normal to have doubts.
However, unlike the previous Warriors fans, the Lakers’ performance of five championships in the past seven years has accumulated enough self-confidence for them.
So doubts remained doubts. When Millsap came on stage with a face full of surprise, they still gave him applause and cheers.
This made Millsap’s expression even more joyful.
Even Stern, who shook hands with him, was all smiles, because this was the old man’s last work tonight.
Overall, Millsap had a great draft experience.
And what’s interesting is that after checking the relevant information, fans are quite optimistic about Millsap.
Although his talent is not outstanding and his skills are not outstanding, he is indeed suitable for the Lakers.
On the offensive end, he has a very good half-volley ability, which allows him to partner with O’Neal or Mourning at the same time.
On the defensive end, he has outstanding wingspan and tough confrontation, which allows him to perform well on the defensive end.
Also, his rebounding ability is exceptionally good, and he is the NCAA rebounding champion for three consecutive years!
Last season, he averaged 12.7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which is good enough for a 2.03-meter inside man.
So overall, although the Lakers came unexpectedly at the end of the first round, there is no big problem, but it is exciting.
Some people may ask, why don’t the Lakers trade down two second rounds? In this way, in addition to picking Millsap, you can also choose another one.
This involves a small abacus.
First-round picks have dead contracts, especially at the end of the first round. To put it bluntly, they are four years
