No blowing, no blackness | The rookie guard Monty who scored 40 points in the summer was going to marry his daughter to him
"These two guys, playing winner basketball game after game, makes me want to bring them home and arrange marriage with my daughters," Monty, the Pistons' new head coach, said of Ossar Thompson and Souther.
Of course, in Monty's world, "marry his daughter to him" is more like a compliment, after all, Shamet of the Sun has become Monty's "son-in-law" once before.
Of the two, Ossar Thompson, the younger brother of No. 4 pick Amen Thompson, was selected by the Pistons with the fifth pick. He has shown good physicality and defensive ability in the summer league and believes he has taken a place in Monti's rotation.
Many people probably heard his name for the first time, he was the No. 25 pick this year, and the Pistons traded upwards to the No. 25 pick to pick Suser early. Originally, Susser's market was at the end of the first round to the second round, and the second round was very likely, but the Pistons were afraid that Suser would be selected and removed him early.
In today's Summer League, Suser slashed 40 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, setting a new record for this year's Summer League. It is worth mentioning that at halftime, Sather's shooting was still 3 of 11, and as a result, he almost shot 13 of 14 in the second half, scoring 16 points in the final quarter.
Of course, in the last game, many times Suser is brushing data, but in the summer league, brushing data is also an ability, and ordinary people really can't brush it. After this battle, the label of Suther's explosive score was attached to him.
Why wasn't a guard who scored 40 points in the Summer League selected until the 25th pick? The main reason is his age, Sasser, who was born in 00, is 23 years old this year, has completed four years of college, and he is really a combat power.
In his senior season, Souther averaged 16.8 points, 3.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 38.4 percent from three-point range. He was named AAC Player of the Year and was named to the All-American First Team, and the last University of Houston player to be named to the All-American First Team was Olajuwon in 1984. In the subsequent Mad Three tournament, Suser also had a single 22-point performance.
In fact, after his junior year last year, Souther was ready to run, when he averaged 17 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5 assists per game and shot 44% from three-point range, but eventually returned to school because of his age. Unexpectedly, Souther, who was another year older, entered the first round.
Suser is about 1.85 meters tall, weighs 88 kilograms, and has an arm span of 2.01 meters, and the template can be referred to players such as Lowry and Beverley. Saser is a score-first defender with a strong scoring ability.
Whether it's holding the ball for three points or receiving three points, Suser has a very good production and shooting percentage. His three-point technique has improved every year in college, and his senior year has been able to shoot threes through various feints, changes of direction and backwards.
Suser is small in stature, but at the same time not fast, and most of the breakthroughs require cover. However, this also created Sutser's excellent ability to borrow and break through, and his strong body allowed Saser to complete a layup under confrontation and a tough style.
In addition, although Souther rarely shoots from distance, he also has a small throw that allows him to finish in the middle distance. His offense has few dead ends and can finish in any position.
Reviews of Souther's defense are always polarized. On the bright side, he is fierce on the defensive end, often able to cut off opponents' balls, he is a winding defensive defender, always harassing opponents, and has a strong pressure on the ball carrier.
At the same time, his defense will also be too aggressive, which will cause the defense to lose position. Although he puts a lot of energy into the defensive end, his height is destined to face the situation of being named, and when facing a tall defender, he seems to have little way to change defenses.
He can pass, but his organizational skills are very average, and don't expect him to be the core of the organization at the intensity of the NBA. In addition, Souther also has an injury record, junior missed the crazy three because of a foot injury, and the senior year suffered another groin injury on the eve of the crazy three, almost missing the crazy three.
The Pistons' selection of Souther is a bit confusing, because they already have CC, Ive, Hays and other top ten picks in the backcourt, and their talent has long overflowed. But now that the Pistons may abandon Hays, then the choice of Souther makes sense.
Suser can provide offensive firepower to the Pistons' bench, and his bulldog-like spirit can also provide some changes to the Pistons. A 40-point summer league score will most likely give Suser a spot in the Pistons' rotation.
It is worth mentioning that Suser is the son of Jerrell Sasser in the 22nd pick of '01. His dad couldn't play in the NBA after two years, and I saw his dad on the dynasty team that played 2K Magic Maddie.
The man selected with the first pick before the elder Saser was Joseph Ford, who also played only two seasons in the NBA. The Celtics were very bullish on Ford at the time, but at the same time struggled between another guard. THE CELTICS GAVE THE HAT WITH "CELTICS" PRINTED ON IT TO ANOTHER GUARD, AND IN THE LAST MINUTE BEFORE THE DRAFT, THE CELTICS REVERSED AND FINALLY CHOSE FORD.
The defender, who was pigeoned by the Celtics, was selected with the 28th overall pick, and he played 18 seasons in the league, winning four championships and one FMVP, and his name was Tony Parker.
