Thunder Draft s vision is too unique! Choose two super gate + top shooters, and the No. 15 show makes up for the shortcomings

On June 27, the second round of the NBA draft ended today. In this draft, many teams have won the right players by relying on excellent operations, such as the Suns. They won Maruac and Fleming in the second round. In contrast, the Lakers and Warriors did not do well. The Lakers only won the No. 36 pick in the second round but had not yet shot, and the Warriors even habitually chose two outside players.

Many times the draft also depends on the level. Even if some general managers do not have high picks, they can still win excellent players. For example, Thunder's general manager Presti can not only choose top players with high picks, but also use low picks. Ibaka back then was a good example. If it weren't for Ibaka, the Thunder would not be able to exchange George, and in the end they would not be able to get Alexander and Jewish.

In this draft, as the champion, their draft is also highly anticipated. The Thunder have the 15th draw and the 24th draw in the first round of this year, but they did not use the 24th draw, but traded him to the Kings in exchange for a future protected first-round pick. If this first-round pick is ultimately protected, it will be converted into two second-round picks. The reason why the Thunder gave up this first-round pick is probably because of the team's lineup and salary. They don't need so much talent.

, and the team has already won the most wanted player in the 15th pick. They got Thomas Sauber with the 15th pick. Many fans may not be familiar with this. He is one of the best small inside players in this class. He can play in the 4th position or play in the 5th position. There may be fans here saying: The Thunder have Chet and Harten, and what are the inside players? This guy can make up for the shortcomings of Harten and Chett very well.

Everyone knows that Harten and Chet have common shortcomings. He comes with both slender and flexible inside players. They may suffer a loss when facing a strong inside player, especially in their No. 4 position. If they encounter tall and strong people, there is no way. The main reason why they almost collapsed against the Nuggets is that Aaron Gordon and the others can't stand it. If Gordon was injured in tiebreak, it's hard to say who will win this round. Against the Pacers, they don't have many ways to face Sika. If Harry was injured in tiebreak, it's hard to say in the series.

But now it is different. Sauber can be said to be prepared for players like Gordon and Sika. He is 2.06 meters tall and has a terrifying 2.29 meters. He averaged 14.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks in the whole freshman season. His shooting percentage is 53% and his three-point shooting percentage is 16%. Although his three-point shooting ability is not good, his defense is excellent, and he is extremely strong and good at confrontation. His low-post offensive skills are also very comprehensive. Because of his soft touch, he will have the opportunity to practice three-pointers in the future.

Look at the defensive data and you will know how suitable he is for the Thunder. Sauber's lower limit is extremely high. Even if he can't make three-pointers, he can become a defensive insider in the future. 2.06 meters is indeed not high enough, but his wingspan can also be a good restriction on opponents' attacks, similar to the role of the Heat Adebayo. In addition, the Thunder also won two players, one was No. 44 pick Barn Heize in the second round, and the other was Peyton Sandford, who was undrafted.

Let's talk about Barn Heize, who is an older draft, is 23 years old this year, and is 1.98 meters tall, and he can average 17.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. He has excellent defense. This person was not considered to be selected at the time, but the Thunder chose him, and everyone can definitely believe that Presti is. The upper limit of this older draft may not be too high, but his defensive attitude is good, which the Thunder likes.

Even if the final failure to meet expectations, the Thunder will not hurt anything. At most, they just don’t want him anymore. No one dares to say that they can choose excellent players 100%. When the top three drafts are lost, Mr. Pu is more likely to succeed in the draft than other general managers. The undraft they won was pretty good, a wing player with good shooting ability.

He is 2.01 meters tall and can average 16.7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41%. This person has poor defense ability, but his ability to do without the ball is excellent. The Thunder may win him to replace Isaiah Gio. After all, Joe has not performed well in the playoffs and his salary price is relatively high. Of course, the same thing is true. If Payton Sandford really did not meet expectations, the Thunder would not lose anything if he gave up.

The next summer league will be the opportunity for these three rookies to show themselves. Many undraft or second-round picks have been recognized by their outstanding performance in the summer league and preseason, and finally got stable playing time in the team.
