The NBA playoffs are in full swing, the 2024 draft draw results are out, and Jonathan Wasserman, a well-known draft expert in the bleachers, has updated the lottery area mock draft list. The details are as follows: the Hawks used the top pick to select the French domestic line Sarr, the Wizards used the list to select the French forward Risa Shet, the Rockets used the scout pick to select Kentucky guard Shepard, and the 4th-14th picks were Serbian guard Topic (Spurs), Lithuanian forward Bouzelis (Pistons), Connectivity guard Castle (Hornets), Connectia center Klingen (Trail Blazers), Kentucky guard Dillingham (Spurs), Ignite forward Holland (Grizzlies), University of Tennessee forward (Jazz), University of Colorado forward Williams (Bulls), Ignite forward Smith (Thunder), Duke guard McCain (Kings) and Baylor guard Walter (Trail Blazers). In addition, there are many new developments in the NBA league, which I hope will help you better understand the NBA.
Number one: Cole wins the award
It is a pity that the Warriors missed the playoffs, and "where did Curry go" became a Golden State puzzle, but the team's coach Kerr came with good news and won an award. According to official news from the Professional Basketball Writers Association, Kerr won the Tomjanovic Award for the 2023-24 season. The award recognises a manager's outstanding performance on the pitch and their partnership with the media and fans. Statistically, this is the third time Kerr has won this award in his coaching career (2015 and 2018). Cole is gratifying to win the award, but it is full of doubts! This season, the Warriors only have a 46-36 record, ranking 10th in the West, and stopped in the first round of the play-offs! In the process, Cole's meritorious basketball caused displeasure among young people such as Kuminga, and his consolation prize was more or less ironic.
The second: the NBA officially announced the fine
According to NBA officials, the Timberwolves center was fined $75,000 for making inappropriate gestures that questioned the league and referees. In the Nuggets vs. Timberwolves Series G4 game, Gobert made a gesture to count the money with both hands. It is worth mentioning that Gobert also received a $100,000 ticket for the same gesture at the end of the regular season. In this regard, Gobert said in an interview: This gesture is just my emotional release, it does not represent any information, I am not surprised to receive another ticket, but I must control my small emotions next. Gobert spent money to eliminate the disaster, but Timberwolves coach Finch complained about Gobert, and he pointed out sharply: If Gobert was fined $75,000 for counting money gestures, then why was Murray fined $25,000 for counting money gestures + throwing towels + warming the baby? I'd love to see the details of the league ticket! If you don't see through it, Finch has committed another league taboo, and he must be prepared to be fined.
The third: new progress in the selection of the Lakers' coach
The Suns fired former coach Vogel at the speed of light and hired championship coach Budenholzer, and the Lakers' coach selection is also progressing in an orderly manner and making some new progress! According to a report from NBA Hall of Fame Shams, sources revealed that Redick, Borrego and Cassel have become the Lakers' initial targets for coach selection, and Adelman, Norrie and Quinn are also other candidates for Lakers coaches. According to Shams, the Lakers are looking for a coach who can grow with the team in the coming years, who can maximize the level of the thick eyebrows, both to lead the final dance of the James-eyebrow combination and to allow the thick eyebrows to start the next era! Subsequently, Lakers reporter Jovan followed up and reported that Redick was in the leading position of the new coach of the Lakers! Considering Lao Zhan's personal relationship with Redick and Lao Zhan's control, Redick is likely to be the next puppet coach of the Lakers, and he only needs to adhere to one principle: obey as he is told and obey absolutely!
Fourth: Lao Zhan speaks for Brownie
Lao Zhan's eldest son Bronny is participating in the NBA joint tryout, and his 102.9cm vertical jump ability is very outstanding, ranking fourth among all rookies; In contrast, the vertical jump of the former champion Rose is only 101.6cm! Judging from the current situation, the dream of Lao Zhan's father and son competing on the same stage is about to come true, in the words of the American media, it is not a question of whether Bronny can enter the NBA, but a question of which order he can realize his dream! When talking about the topic of father and son on the same stage, Bronny confessed: "My dream is to enter the NBA and make my name known, but I never wanted to play with my dad, but he often mentioned it. In this regard, Lao Zhan spoke out for Brownie through his personal social media, he wrote: You are a great child, proud of you, go chase what you want, the whole world is yours, young king! Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
