Under normal circumstances, the Grizzlies still owe the Pistons a first-round draft pick.

Previously in the deal about Otis Thorpe, the Grizzlies gave the Pistons a first-round draft pick.

However, there is no agreed trading time for this first round of pick, and the latest one can be until 2003...

The Grizzlies have been very high in draft picks in the past two years. For example, the 1998 draft that just ended was the second pick. With such a high pick, the Grizzlies naturally cannot bear to give it to the Pistons.

What people didn't expect was that just by dragging it, this draft pick really delayed to the last year, that is, in 2003, when the Grizzlies were still the second pick, but the Pistons chose Milicic with the second pick of the Grizzlies.

The main reason is that the Grizzlies had very high draft picks before 2003, and they were reluctant to give it to the Pistons. As a result, they had to give it to the Pistons in the last year, so they had to give it to the Pistons the second pick.

This is why the Grizzlies do not have a clear position in their own situation. In other words, they do not have an x-number in their hearts...

In 1998, 199, 2000, the Grizzlies were the top picks in the past three years, and in 2001, they were the sixth pick. In fact, if they had a good idea in their hearts, they should give the sixth pick to the Pistons...

But the Grizzlies still can't bear to give up the draft pick with the sixth pick. They feel that they will definitely get a good harvest this year, and the draft pick will definitely be lower next year.

As a result, it was the fourth pick in 2002...

The Grizzlies couldn't bear to give up again, and they were finally ranked second in 2003. There was no way to go so they had to send it out.

This is like the current mentality of the Raptors. They give out the first round pick, and they think their record will improve and their draft pick will be reduced, so they are willing to give out.

If the Grizzlies gave the sixth pick to the Pistons in 2001, Milicic would not be so miserable in 2003...

For a bad team like the Grizzlies, as long as Milici is given plenty of opportunity to play and straighten it as the core, Milici's life will be much better, so he won't retire after playing for a few years and then grow greenhouse vegetables...

...

Now the Grizzlies will definitely not encounter such an embarrassing situation because of Davidson’s arrival.

According to Davidson's plan, after the end of this season, the Grizzlies can give the draft pick to the Pistons.

After all, the Grizzlies are now different from the past. They will definitely make it to the playoffs this year, and the draft picks will definitely not be high.

Sending out the draft picks you brought out and then using the Raptors' draft picks to select their natal players is Davidson's current plan.

Davidson also watched the 1999 draft stele at the Vancouver Club. Currently, the favorites are Sean Marion of the University of Nevada, Ron Artest of St. John's University, and Lamar Odom of the University of Rhode Island.

These three forward players are considered the most dazzling college players this year, and Davidson has some understanding of them.

All three of them can be considered small forward players, but they have their own strengths.

Marion won in rebounds and mobility, Odom won in all-around, and Artest won in defense.

Of course, these three people are actually completely okay to be on the power forward, and they don’t have to play in the third position.

However, Odom's pick in the draft stone tablet is the fourth pick, and Davidson feels that it is unlikely to win.

Although it is unlikely that the Raptors will enter the playoffs next season, their record will definitely improve, and it is unlikely that they will get the fourth pick, so Odom basically doesn't need to consider it.

Marion is the ninth pick on the draft stone tablet, while Artest is the sixteenth pick.

Davidson feels that it is more likely to get Artest...

However, according to the report given by the scout, Artest, a player, is a little lacking in mind and seems to be a bipolar patient, which makes Davidson reluctant to choose Artest, which may become a trouble for the team.

Bipolar disorder is the abbreviation of manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder.

Sometimes there is no reason for mania, and sometimes there is no reason for depression.

If later fans know Artest enough, they should know that Artest is indeed a typical patient with bipolar disorder, and he admitted it himself.

After suddenly becoming irritable, Artest caused a lot of things, such as breaking Jordan's ribs, and Harden's elbow-hammering style changed his style...

But when he was depressed, he became compassionate again, such as changing his name to be a kind world peace, that is, a kind world peace...

Davidson feels that such a player cannot be won in the Grizzlies because it may cause some unpredictable trouble.

Carter and Dazhi are both relatively mild players. It is really not a sensible thing to have a time bomb like Artest by his side.

However, it is precisely because Carter and Dazhi are gentle that Davidson feels that the next player will find someone with a tougher style.

Marion has a tough style, but unfortunately he has a high pick. Davidson is not sure he can get it if he has the ninth pick.

In short, the three outstanding forward college players in the United States are not particularly suitable.

If Davidson wasn't afraid of trouble, he wouldn't have had a chance to get it.

In addition to these three people, Davidson saw Andre Killenko's name in the draft stone tablet.

This name is a typical Russian style. In a player manual obtained by Davidson previously, there is an introduction to Kirilenko.

However, the introduction of the player manual is not very detailed, and Davidson only knows that this is a Russian striker with a tough style.

On the draft stone tablet, Kirilenko's pick is 24th. If Davidson wants to choose this position, it would be quite easy.

Since Kirirenko was used as an alternative, Davidson naturally wanted to let the scouts explore Kirirenko's situation.

It doesn't matter if you look it up, Davidson felt quite confused.

Kirilenko is a young man who is so strong that he is a little unreasonable.

When he was under the age of sixteen, he started playing in the Russian League, which means that when Kirilenko was only nineteen years old, he had more than three years of professional league experience.

Not only is he rich in league experience, but he is also very strong, he has been selected into the All-Star lineup of the Russian League.

The Russian League has a good value, which is even higher than that of many European leagues. You should know that in recent years, the Russian men's basketball team has been able to enter the top five.

Davidson wondered why such a young man was only 24th in the draft pick.

You should know that Nowitzki, a young German player who entered the league last season, does not have the conditions like Kirilenko.

Finally, Davidson thought about it carefully and the only explanation might be Kirirenko's nationality...
