June is the month that in NBA no… his stars shine as teams care more about their future.
Specifically, at dawn on Friday (23/6, 03:00, Cosmotesport 4) will take place the annual draft and will take place at Brooklyn and the “Barclays Center”, which is the headquarters of Nets.
It’s about her 77th edition of the proceedingswhere for the second season in a row they will be held in total 58 player options not 60 as is traditionally done. The reason is that they lost the right to choose in the second round Bulls and Sixersas they violated the tampering regulation.
In this year’s draft the undisputed favorite for the number “1” will not be some American college kid. But, it will be the Victor Webanyama. The… miracle of nature and French basketball, who is 19 years old and looks at the world from 2.21m, is currently considered the greatest talent in the world and indeed something… unique in the history of the sport so far. After his excellent season this year with the Metropolitan 92Webaniyama will pack his bags for the USA, where according to experts he will fall into the… arms of Gregg Popovich, in San Antonio Spurs.
From now on, apart from the French “giant” in this year’s draft there are other names who have in turn made the necessary… knock, ahead of the draft. One is the 20-year-old Brandon Millerwho played in college at Alabama and in the NCAA averaged 18.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists.
Next is the Scott Henderson. Two years ago, the 19-year-old guard made a decision… of life. He decided to leave school and compete in Ignite and the G League, where he averaged 17.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1 steal.
It is a special and even… double case the Thompson twin brothers, Ausar and Amen;. The two brothers are 20 years old and play as guards. This year, they competed in the Overtime Elite league with the City Reapers. Ausar averaged 16.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and Amen averaged 16.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists respectively.
Also, quite high in the draft are still expected to be selected Jarras Walker, Anthony Black and Taylor Hendricks.
However, our “own” children will also take part in the process. One is of course the Nikos Rogavopoulos. The international forward is coming from his first season of his career, where he competed outside of Greece, specifically in Turkey with Merkezefendi. In the league of the neighboring country he averaged 15.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists. In the last few days the 22-year-old was in the USA, where he did some training at the Hornets’ facilities, while he has reportedly agreed with Baskonia.
Our other “own” child is Tristan Vukcevic. This is the son of the former player of Apollon Patras and Olympiakos, but also the assistant of Vassilis Spanoulis at Peristeri bwin, Dusan Vukcevic. The 20-year-old forward/center in recent years belongs to They were partisanswhile earlier he was at Real Madrid.
Two other notable “European” picks in the draft are two players who have Euroleague experience. One is the champion with Barcelona and an 18-year-old center, James Nagy and the other is the 22-year-old forward of Fenerbahce, Tarik Biberovic.
Finally, an important piece of information regarding the draft has to do with the number that a team chooses. This is predetermined after the relevant draw was made and thus we know who will choose from “1” to “58”.
Indicatively, the first ten numbers will be chosen by:
1. San Antonio Spurs
2. Charlotte Hornets
3. Portland Blazers
4. Houston Rockets
5. Detroit Pistons
6. Orlando Magic
7. Indiana Pacers
8. Washington Wizards
9. Utah Jazz
10. Dallas Mavericks
