After the lottery draw, Jonathan Wasserman, a draft expert in the American media "Bleachers", quickly announced the results of the latest 24-year mock draft, Choi Yong-hee, who missed the joint trial, was unselected, and the Rockets, who were lucky to get the scout lottery, selected Bronny, and the latter did not appear in the 58-man roster (the original first round + second round totaled 60 people, and the 76ers and Suns were each confiscated a 2024 second-round pick for illegal contact with free agents.) ）

The results of the Simulated Lotto 14 players are as follows

1-3: Champion Sarr (Hawks), Sashier (Wizards), Shepard (Rockets)

4-14: Topic (Spurs), Bouzelis (Pistons), Castle (Hornets), Klingen (Trail Blazers), Dillingham (Spurs), Holland (Grizzlies), Knecht (Jazz), Cody Williams (Bulls), Tyler Smith (Thunder), McCain (Kings) and Jacoby Walter (Trail Blazers).

Aspect 1: France takes the top two

Following last year's French player Wembanyama won the top spot, the 24-year-old champion and list favorite are also French players.

The top pick is Sarr, who, like Wemban, is an interior player who can play in the No. 4 or No. 5 positions, has top physical talent and has a huge impact on the defensive end.

But the overall technical maturity and ceiling are simply not comparable to that of his fellow Wembanyama, so his ideal template is only Grizzlies interior Jaren Jackson Jr.

The top of the list belongs to 18-year-old Risache, who is a versatile wing player who has limited offensive ability and most of his scoring comes from transitions, catch-and-shoot shots and off-ball cuts.

The template given by the American media is Harrison Barnes of the Kings, and it is not difficult to see from the quality and template of the champion and the list why the 2024 draft has become a recognized super year.

Aspect 2: The Rockets selected a three-point shot

With the former Harden trade, the Rockets have the Nets' 24-year first-round pick, and the Rockets relied on good luck to draw the pick.

The Rockets predicted that the Rockets would draft Shepard, the best shooter in the 24th class, who averaged 12.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game in his freshman season, shooting a terrifying 52.1% from three-point range (75-of-144), the first potential first-round pick since Glenn Rice in 1988-89 to shoot more than 50% from three-point range.

As a two-way guard, Shepard not only has a superbly high three-point shooting percentage, but he is also impressive on the defensive end with his aggressiveness and fighting spirit, and he is also a young man with a super high ball quotient.

The template given by the American media is DiVinchor and Hinrich, but in terms of style, Shepard is actually more like Reaves of the Lakers.

However, considering that the Rockets already have "Houston 6 Less", there is a high probability that they will trade the Tanhua pick, if there is no reasonable offer, then choosing Shepard, a jack-of-all-trades three-point shooter, will be one of the best choices.

Aspect 3: The Lakers did not choose Bronny

The Lakers have the No. 17 pick and the No. 55 pick in their hands, and the predicted players given by the American media are Terrence Shannon Jr. (potential 3-and-D wing) and Antonio Reaves (mature defensive blue-collar quarterback).

Obviously, the American media "Bleachers" did not consider James's influence in the NBA, according to Woj and Shams, many teams are interested in Bronny, because the latter can increase box office and revenue for the G League, and can also increase the possibility of the team bringing in James.

Therefore, the Lakers will most likely use the No. 55 pick to select Bronny, Shams bluntly said on the show that Bronny will definitely be selected, and Woj even predicted that some teams may be willing to select Bronny at the end of the first round for financial reasons.

Aspect 4: Choi Yong-hee was defeated

After missing the 78-man joint tryout list announced by the NBA, Choi Yong-hee failed to get a joint tryout opportunity through the G-League elite training camp.

However, there is still a small chance that Choi Yong-hee will be selected by trying out for the team alone, or choose to withdraw before June 12, and then he can run again next year.

However, judging from the current situation, unless Cui Yongxi performs extremely well in the trial for some teams, there is a high probability that he will be defeated as predicted by the American media.
