On May 23, Beijing time, the authoritative American media ESPN updated the simulated draft after the joint trial, in which Cui Yongxi missed the first list, this time he lost again, and was lucky to win the Rocket Tanhua Lottery to select 3 points of shooting, and Xiao Yao Ming entered the lotto ranks.

Champion: Alex Saar (previous champion)

In the '24 draft, Sarr was one of the few players with a super-high ceiling, combining physical fitness, mobility, switching ability, finishing and shooting potential on both ends of the floor, and has the potential to grow into a top-tier basket protector.

With a 3% chance of winning the No. 1 pick, the Hawks, who are at a crossroads, need to make a choice this summer.

But whether it's tearing down a rebuild or continuing to build a team around Trae Young, Sarr is a reasonable interior centerpiece.

Eye: Zachary Risachet (last issue)

According to draft expert Jeremy Woo, many in the league believe that the Wizards will draft one of Sarr or Rissachet with the Hawks' pick before using the other pick.

Considering that the Wizards' current executives are all from the Thunder, it is expected that their team building strategy will be the same as the Thunder's, taking a long-term rebuilding strategy.

So Risache would be the logical choice, and he only made an impressive playoff appearance this week, scoring 28 points in a single game, showing high-quality shooting ability, and excellent nose for air cuts, and has the potential to develop into a versatile two-way wing, and if he can develop his ball-handling creativity, Risachet will hopefully play one of the Wizards' future cores.

Tanhua: Shepard (last issue of Tanhua)

The Rockets hit the lottery with a 14.6% shooting percentage, and since Houston already has a "6 less", there is a high probability that they will not pick another rookie, but Shepard may be an exception, and he happens to be the most lacking reliable three-point shooter on the Rockets' current roster.

He shot an exaggerated 52.1 percent three-point percentage in college, and he had both ball-and-off ability, a selfless and team-oriented style of play, as well as a good big-picture perspective and sharp defensive instincts.

If the Rockets can't trade too good chips back through a probe trade, then Shepard would be one of the best candidates for the probe pick.

4th-8th: Dillingham (Spurs), Bouzelis (Pistons), Klingen (Hornets), Topic (Trail Blazers) and Salons (Spurs);

9th-14th: Knecht (Grizzlies), Castle (Jazz), Ron Horan (Bulls), Cody Williams (Thunder), Jacoby Walter (Kings) and Zach Eddie (Trail Blazers).

Spurs select Dillingham

The first notable point in the 4-14 lottery pick was the Spurs' selection of Dillingham, the most polarized point guard in the '24 draft.

Dillingham has an imaginative imagination on the offensive end and is a microwave-type scorer, but has obvious flaws on the defensive end.

The Spurs are in desperate need of a point guard who has grown with Wembanyama, and Dillingham, who has a lot of offensive potential and creativity with the ball, would be a good candidate.

"Little Yao Ming" Zach Eddie presses the whistle into the lotto

Zach Eddie (Zhou Zhihao) is 2.22 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.4 meters, weighs 135 kilograms, is the all-time scoring and rebounding champion of Purdue University, and has been named the All-American Player of the Year for two consecutive years, and is regarded as one of the most dominant big men in the history of American college basketball.

His footwork and mobility have always been a concern for the outside world, and as a result, Zach Eddie performed well in the joint trial, running 3.51 seconds in the 3/4 sprints and 11.19 seconds in the 100m sprint, while showing some three-point shooting ability.

This allowed Zach Eddie, who was originally predicted to be 14-22, to enter the lottery directly in this prediction.

Choi Yong-hee was defeated again

Guangzhou player Cui Yongxi signed up for the 24th draft, but was not selected for the first phase of the joint trial, and then participated in the G League elite training camp, but still failed to get a place in the selection.

But Choi Young-hee is still trying to find an opportunity to try out for the team alone in order to play in the summer league and win the favor of NBA teams.

It's just that, judging from the two ESPN mock drafts, Choi Yong-hee's draft prospects are not very optimistic, and he has lost two consecutive drafts.

In contrast, Brownie, who failed to make the list in the previous issue, was selected in this issue.

In their latest predictions, the Celtics will select him with the 54th pick, and the Lakers hold the 17th pick in the first round and the 55th pick in the second round in '24.
