Beijing time at 8:00 a.m. Beijing time at 8:00 nBA 2021 draft day is about to kick off, presumably will attract the attention of countless Chinese fans, including many rocket fans in the domestic mass base, because this year's draft results may affect the development direction of the rebuilt rocket in the next 3-5 years, if the rocket can be selected on the draft day with cornerstone potential supernova, the future will be bright, and vice versa!
In the context of the emergence of many supernovae this year, this player who can shoulder the cornerstone potential is undoubtedly the hottest cade Canningham from Oklahoma State University this year, why do I so affirm the talent of this player, from the Rockets' attitude to the signing of the champion, this player must have extraordinary characteristics and extraordinary talent, looking at the NBA's historical high vacancy, the star who is most well known by fans is the Lakers legendary magician Johnson, Let's start by comparing the static talents of the two men, and you'll find some interesting data, with Magic Johnson standing 2.09 meters tall, weighing 98 kilograms and having an arm span of 2.10 meters; Cade Cunningham is 2.03 meters tall, weighs 100 kilograms, and has an arm span of 2.13 meters. What is this concept, the personal static talent Cunningham has reached the level of magician Johnson, under the premise of Cunningham's shorter height, his arm span is surprisingly longer than magic Johnson, which shows the extraordinary physical talent! Let's look at the history of the NBA, there are basically only a few stars with the same talent attributes in the position of tall point guard, and the most famous is 4.
Number one: Oscar Palmer Robertson
Big O, often compared to Westbrook, is a famous all-rounder in NBA history, serving as a point guard on the team. It is worth mentioning that big O has a height of 1.96 meters, you know, in the era when big O was active, the average height of players was not very high, and the height of big O could fully act as a striker at that time. Big O averaged a triple-double (30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, 11.4 assists) in 1961-62, a statistic that would have been luxurious 60 years ago.
Second place: Anfenni Deon Hardaway
"Penny" Hardaway, there are currently scouts who compare Cade Cunningham to the most like Hadaway, Hardaway has a height of 2.01 meters. In the first league, he showed a good talent, known as "Jordan's successor", in the magic period was Maddy's absolute big brother, but unfortunately in the peak of his career, he began to suffer from injuries, slowly lonely, the representative of the talent of heaven, career achievements: 4 NBA All-Star Team, 2 NBA Best Team First Team, All-Star Rookie Game MVP.
Third place: Sean Patrick Livingston
Livingston and Hardaway are somewhat similar, with the same 2. 01 meters tall, working as a point guard. Livingston was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in fourth place in the first round of the 2004 Draft. In a 2007 match against the Bobcats, he fractured his leg and suffered from injuries and was followed by multiple teams. But even so, Livingston's defense is also very solid, greatly limiting the score of opposing players, career achievements are all dedicated to the Warriors, Rockets fans are familiar with it, mainly 3 NBA championships.
Fourth place: Elvin Johnson
Magician, one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. Johnson was selected by the Lakers in the 1979 NBA Draft, and then led the Lakers to five championships. What impressed the magician the most was his magic passing, and he created good scoring opportunities for his teammates all the time on the court. But Johnson had a height of 2.06 meters, which is believed to be misplaced against any defender at the time, so Johnson also had a strong impact on the offensive end at that time.
Major Achievements: 5 NBA Championships, 3 regular season MVPs, 3 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Awards, 12 NBA All-Star Teams, 2 All-Star MVPs, and 9 NBA Best Team Lineups
Fifth place, is there a fifth place?
At least for now I am embarrassed to arrange it, in order to meet everyone's possible curiosity, I will not waste pen and ink, directly on the picture
So much has been repeated, the intention of which is nothing more than to let everyone understand why Cade Cunningham is the best candidate for this year's talent show, because talented tall point guards are very rare in the history of the NBA, plus the height advantage is misplaced against any guard, Cunningham has a wealth of old offensive means and skills, such players will have a strong presence value on the offensive end, and now in the era of small ball prevalence, in the defensive end from one to four can defend, Height advantage can be paired with multiple positions, such a talent in defense as long as willing to invest enthusiasm and willingness is worth looking forward to, such a player for the rebuilding team which would not want? Looking at the Rockets, Cavaliers, Raptors, Magic and Thunder, which are in the process of rebuilding, it is easy to understand the peeping and competition for the Pistons' hand.
From the analysis of the current exposed news, the Pistons' hand seems to be very tight, and the teams with intentions seem to have little chance, and more evidence from the news surface shows that the Pistons will lock cunningham with the signature. But, until the last moment, no one knows what will happen to the outcome? From the perspective of the law of the development of things, often recognized by the public, the more clear and more affirmed things when the information is exposed, the probability will eventually develop in the opposite direction, just today there is a message that I have captured the anomaly, proving that there are still large variables in this nailed thing, today a Mobley and Sagas refused to train the rocket News once it broke out, and at the same time the Pistons will be in these days to successively investigate Green also including Mobley, less than 4 days away from the draft, the Pistons' inspection is still continuing, Probably no one will believe that the current Pistons are creating conditions for rocket negotiations? Maybe it's that they are waiting for the Rockets' final bid, my guess is that in the end the Pistons will accept a generous bid from the Rockets, and then exchange the Rockets for the No. 2 pick more in line with the team's culture of Green, as to why? I will wait for the results to come out, and if my guess is correct, I will give you an explanation in detail. Ask a few questions for everyone to think about! Since Cunningham is a recognized champion, why is it necessary for the Pistons to hold the medal and still examine Green and Mobley, who are second and third in talent? What is the reason why Mobley in lotto 3 is approaching the draft and so unexpectedly rejected the Rockets he has always preferred? Gave the final trial time to the Pistons with the medallion? Could it be that he saw an opportunity to compete for the title? You must know that before he and Cunningham, one said to give the Pistons a trial, the other said to give the Rockets a trial, but both dramatically changed their original intentions and ran towards the opposite side of the direction of the direction of things! As the draft date approaches, the undercurrents are surging and true and false, false and true, and only when the fate is revealed, do we find that everything is the best arrangement.
