NOVEL WEB NBA: Come off the bench to save the national team
Chapter 181
Qin Feng fell silent, thinking quickly in his mind.
The Thunder's situation is that they have a certain amount of salary space, but the trade value of the players in the team is not very large at the moment.
Aside from himself, Durant, and Wilson, some of the remaining role players have little trade value.
If you want to trade players who are still on rookie contracts such as Aldrich and Horford, the other party will definitely ask to bring these potential rookies from the Thunder.
Therefore, only some players who are not optimistic at the moment, but in fact, have a high ceiling in the future.
Qin Feng quickly recalled the low picks in recent years, or the undrafted ones were in line with the requirements!
Soon!
He has identified several candidates, namely Kyle Lowry of the Grizzlies, J.J. Redick of the Magic, Batum of the Trail Blazers' rookie, and PJ Tucker, who plays overseas!
Kyle Lowry must be familiar to fans.
He was drafted by the Grizzlies with the 24th pick in 2006.
The beginning of my career was not very satisfactory.
He was reimbursed for injuries in his rookie season and then spent most of his second season playing as a substitute.
With Mike Conley securing his position as the starting point guard with the Grizzlies this season, Lowry has fewer opportunities.
At the moment, he is averaging only 7.6 points per game, which is completely an average role player.
But Qin Feng, who crossed over, knows very well that the future Lowry ceiling is very high, and he can average 20+7 data per game in his peak season, and has been selected as an All-Star for 6 consecutive years.
This small defender, known as the "Little Steel Cannon", has strong physical fitness, although he is very short, but he has strong physical confrontation ability and good defensive awareness, and can withstand the impact of most defenders in the league.
At the same time, Lowry has a strong attack, fast breakthrough speed, strong explosiveness, and extremely superb three-point shooting ability.
Is a perfect point guard.
If he can come to play as a substitute for Wei Shao, even if he has not yet evolved to the All-Star level, he can still use his super control ability and offensive skills to become the top soldier on the bench of the Thunder team!
At the same time, Qin Feng is very clear that now the Grizzlies have the intention to trade Lowry.
Shortly after February, before the trade deadline, the Grizzlies reached a three-way deal with the Rockets and Magic to send Lowry to the Rockets.
Lowry, who went to the Rockets, was not used in his first season, and after playing as a starter two years later, his ability was fully realized, averaging 13.5 points and 6.7 assists per game, ranking among the league's second-line guards.
Now Qin Feng is ready to let the Thunder team cut off, trade Lowry first, and then give him more room to play in advance!
The second person he thought of was Redick from the Magic!
As a three-point shooter who relies on three-point dominance in the NBA, Redick's shooting ability has always been among the top in the league.
He is the purest pitcher and makes opponents defenseless.
Among the league's future famous three-point shooters, Redick is a player to be reckoned with!
In addition to his three-point shooting, he has excellent dribbling skills, a high free throw percentage and a big heart.
Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious, poor passing ability, relatively weak defensive ability.
Redick was also a 2006 rookie and was selected by the Magic with the 11th pick in the first round.
However, similar to Lowry's experience, he did not have the opportunity to play because of injury, and he once had the idea of playing in Europe.
However, this season, Redick's performance has improved, but he is still just an ordinary substitute player!
The third player that Qin Feng thought of was Batum.
As the 25th rookie of this year, he has not shown absolute strength at present, barely averaging about 10 minutes of playing time per game with the Trail Blazers, and his performance is also average.
However, Qin Feng knows that this player, known as the "magician of the Iron Kingdom", will grow into a top 3D player in the future.
His tall body, agility and long arm span all give him a natural advantage in defending the No. 3 position, although the defense is not top-notch, but the victory is positive.
His offensive skills are very well-rounded, not only has a stable three-point shooting ability, but also can attack with the ball and create scoring opportunities on his own.
At the same time, he can also create scoring opportunities for his teammates and has a certain passing ability.
So Batum is a perfect team player, who knows how to fit into the team and how to make his teammates better on the pitch.
The fourth player that Qin Feng thought of was PJ Tucker!
Also a rookie in 2006, but with a very low pick, he was selected by Toronto with the 35th pick in the second round.
He was cut after less than a season with the Raptors and began wandering overseas before returning to the NBA in 2012.
It seems that Tucker has no place in the NBA, but Qin Feng also knows that the future Tucker is the perfect closed loop for the small and medium-sized lineup of the Rockets' "light bulb" combination.
Although he lacks height, Tucker, who is physically strong, can defend from No. 1 to No. 5, and has extremely strong confrontation ability, very fierce defense, and has a stable three-point ability.
In the year when the Bucks win the championship more than a decade later, Tucker's defense is indispensable!
He's the typical stats, but hugely versatile role player.
If the Thunder can trade these four players and trade them to Tyson Chandler, the team will surely soar.
Not only can you play a big lineup, but a small lineup will be invincible.
Imagine that Brooks can put out such a large lineup as Chandler, Jeff Green, Durant, Qin Feng, and Wei Shao.
Chandler's ability to protect the frame, Durant's offensive ability, Wei Shao's impact, and Qin Feng's powerful dominance, this starting lineup will become extremely competitive.
At the same time, there are bench bandits such as Lowry, Batum, and Tucker on the bench, and the strength of the bench will be upgraded several notches compared to now!
And at key moments, Brooks can also discharge Durant, Jeff Green, Batum, Qin Feng, Lowry this small lineup, whether on the offensive end or on the defensive end, is extremely dominant.
Every player in this lineup has the ability to dribble forward, shoot three-pointers, pass the ball, individual ball holding offensive singles, and top defensive ability.
And when Ibaka returns next season, the strength of the Thunder team will be raised to another level!
Thinking of this, Qin Feng put his thoughts and thoughts.
After listening, both Presti and Brooks looked confused.
They didn't expect that Qin Feng would suggest trading these players, and even players like Tucker who were streaming overseas, they never paid attention.
After a long time, Presti said in an incredulous tone.
