Thunder failed to bet on Topic? 54 in four games, 18+19 assists and 20 mistakes, 6-foot-6 hits the front line better than PG

Thunder took advantage of the 12th pick in this wave of thunder, but now it seems that he has picked up a dud.

Topic sent 20 turnovers in four games in the summer league, and averaged 5 turnovers per game and was even more eye-catching than 4.75 assists. The 6-foot-6 big man was cut off by the opponent's defender as an ATM. Do you really think that a fan doesn't watch the game?

Primary bet on Topic's "high point guard" selling point, but Xia Lian directly exposed the situation - when playing point guard, he was not as good as a rookie in the Development League, and was forced to change to the front line and barely scored 18 points. The most ironic thing is that the Serbian double champion who played professionally at the age of 16 is now unable to even afford to work for the NBA temporary worker. How many geniuses have been ruined by ACL injuries, but the recovery period has passed and it still shows this. It’s really not something that can be fooled by "finding the status".

If you look at the data carefully, it will be even more heartbreaking: if you make 8 mistakes in a single game, the opponent's defender will take his pockets and feel like he is taking out his own wallet. The blacksmith's craftsmanship of 4 of 21 outside the three-point line can be said to be "European players are slow to warm up" ten years ago. Now this space basketball era is a fatal injury. Not to mention that the horizontal movement speed was passed by the small guard in one step, and the defensive end was purely given points. Thunder expects him to be SGA deputy? Now it seems that even the substitute rotation is in lingering.

But it is not necessary to be tempted to belittle. The foundation of the European League MVP is still there, and the final score of the Nets in the final quarter shows that the feel can be retrieved. The key is to recognize the reality: don’t practice point guards, just let him be the second setter on the front line, and the way out is to play misalignment based on height. If Mr. Pu really wants to bet, it is better to learn the Mavericks' way of raising plus Fortune - reducing weight and gaining muscles hides defense weaknesses, and only giving simple ending tasks on the offensive end.

Topic is now like a scratched lottery, but what Thunder lacks the least is time. Didn’t Chet get scolded for the first year of his injury? Give some patience. The real trump card of this bet is the medical team: how much explosive power can recover after ACL surgery is the life-and-death line that determines the success or failure of this bet.
