This video we continue introducing the 14 new players in the lottery zone
7th pick Bilal Kouribaoui
Bilal Kuribayli was selected 7th by the Pacers and then traded to the
Wizards Kuribayli is 2 meters 3 centimeters tall and weighs 88 kilograms
The 2.19-meter wingspan and 96-centimeter vertical jump make him the tallest perimeter
player in this year's draft Koubala was born in France his parents both from Africa
At the age of 8 Kouribaly began basketball training and then joined the youth
team Kouribaly developed later standing only 1.66 meters tall at the age of 13
But his teammate Wembanyama is already 2.05 meters tall
At 16 his height was just over 1.8 meters but by 18 he shot up to nearly 2 meters
To top it all he went from being unknown to the seventh overall pick in the NBA draft in just six months
In January 2023 all league managers gathered in Barrie to watch a Metros game aiming to scout Victor Wembanyama
The club's youth team plays first before the main team's match
The result was that Kurbali took over the field becoming a turning point in his life
After the game he attracted a lot of attention from the football world
Names also appeared on the second round of this year's draft
In the middle of the Ligue 1 season Koulibaly gained consistent playing time due to his strong defensive skills
In the playoffs the team's main point guard was
injured and the substitute was lost but Kurbali still
received more ball-handling opportunities even taking on half the ball-handling in crucial games
And helped the team win his reputation further increased
Personality-wise Koubali is more introverted and mature
In the 2022-2023 season Curry averaged 10.9
points per game 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists
33.6% field goal percentage 70.5% free throw percentage In a favorable position
Curry has the size and physical condition that a wing player would dream of
Either a single or double foot jump is possible
defense is his biggest selling point On the
downside Kurbalija is still too young It is unknown whether he can adapt to the intensity of NBA games
Currently the situation of its accuracy is quite
complicated The stage is big with risks and opportunities
coexisting Kurbalai may be thoroughly immersed
It may also break free from constraints and soar
6 Anthony Black was selected
by the Magic with the sixth pick
Blake is 1.98 meters tall weighs 95 kilograms and has an arm span of
2.03 meters He was born in Texas and his mother is a football player
Because his father played in the German league the whole family moved abroad
At the age of five Blake returned to the United States
But his parents' relationship began to break down
Eventually Blake went with his mother
For most NBA stars basketball
is either their first or second
sport in their youth but for
Blake it was his fourth sport
After baseball football and American football high school Blake majored in football
by his sophomore year more than ten D1
college football teams had invited him to join
But the basketball team had only one player
However during his sophomore year Blake 's height
shot up At this time the coach told him that if he grew to 1.98 meters
The football team no longer wanted him From
then on Blake had to focus on basketball
To give his son better opportunities the
mother transferred him to Dunkirk High
It is the high school with the strongest basketball team in Texas
However what no one expected was
that Blake was subsequently suspended
The reason was that his mother and the basketball team's coach were married
Blake had to call the coach "stepfather"
which also led to Blake's recruitment being suspected of violating regulations
In the complex legal proceedings Blake could only participate in the games
intermittently and even the MVP awards
he received were eventually stripped away
However these challenges did not stop Blake's growth
He was rated a five-star high school prospect by ESPN
By his senior year Blake had received a 20-point basketball
scholarship Eventually he chose to join the University of Arkansas
In his freshman season he averaged
12.8 points 5.1 rebounds 3.9 assists
and 2.1 steals per game with a three-point shooting percentage of 30.1%
In terms of advantages Blake can handle the ball and play without it He has good
size good vision and has some injury
resistance His defensive ability is excellent
The疯狂 March sealed the victory for Kansas State with Blake playing a crucial role
In terms of disadvantages Blake's shooting still needs improvement and his scoring is not stable enough
Whether the future can fulfill its potential remains to be seen
This year's NBA draft was dominated by Victor
Wembanyama as the first pick followed by the Thompson
brothers who made a big impression Older brother Aaron Thompson was selected fourth by the Rockets
Oscar Thompson was selected by the Pistons
with the fifth pick The brothers were born
in a family with no speaking members in California in 2003 Both parents were athletes
And this set of twins has three uncles
two of whom are basketball players
one of whom once represented Jamaica in the 400-meter hurdles at the Olympics
They also have an older brother who once played in the Development League but due to insufficient talent
he eventually gave up basketball and now helps his two younger
brothers achieve their dreams along with their parents
Twins once took a fortune-telling test which predicted their maximum
height would only be 1.83 meters
greatly disappointing the two of them
However the two brothers did not give up because
of that At the age of nine they wrote down a
list of wishes First to become the greatest NBA
player of all time Second to become a billionaire
Third start a sneaker company Fourth they need
to grow to 2 meters and 6 centimeters In order to
achieve their dream they train strictly every day
They run two miles They
practice dribbling for an hour
Shoot 200 times
Do 200 push-ups
Listen to an inspiring story for 30 minutes
Read for half an hour
Write for half an hour
Finally they also had to take vitamins and
drink milk before bed Of course this plan was
not just talk They stuck to it for several
years This helped them reach the age of 13
His height reached 1.83 meters
By the second year of high school
their height grew to 1.93 meters
Senior season
Older brother Aman
he could score 20.5 points per game
8.4 rebounds
4.4 assists
younger brother Osahl
averages 22.6 points per game
7.3 rebounds
3.4 assists
Both were also rated as five-star high school students by ESPN At that time they
had already received invitations from several low-tier
universities However they gradually went off track
Signed a two-year contract with the
Overtime Elite basketball program
Decided to skip senior year and the NCAA
To make a different impact on the NBA
Although the two brothers were also very hesitant
at first the company offered them generous conditions
including NBA-level training equipment and coaches
as well as a $100 000 annual bonus and more
However this league only had three teams the
twins were placed on
different teams the second
season the league expanded to six teams the Thompson brothers also
returned to the same team
After the team training
ended the two brothers
would pretend to leave with their teammates
then hide in the restroom to secretly observe
waiting until everyone had left this season
Brother Amon averages 16.4 points per game
5.9 rebounds 5.9 assists
Brother Osell averages 16.3 points per game
7.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists
The two led their team to a 21-1 record
and ultimately won the league championship
Of course
The two brothers also faced a lot of criticism
A scout once joked
20-year-old Thompson brothers
playing every day against a group of 16-17-year-old kids
It's hard to believe their talent but in
the eyes of some scouts their template is
Ja Morant and Andrew Wiggins which shows
how highly twins are regarded by most scouts
But whether the two were super
potential stocks or packaged
knockoffs the brothers have
now made history together
Scott Henderson was selected
by the Trail Blazers became the
charcoal of this year Henderson was born in Marietta Georgia
Father Chris is a basketball coach and trainer
and runs a local sports training center with his
wife The whole family has
seven siblings Henderson is the
sixth child He has three older sisters
Everyone played basketball at NCAA's cold university
When Henderson was two years old
His family took him to watch his sisters' games He
was raised to develop his basketball IQ from a young age
When father Chris began giving him
formal training Henderson already had
a good understanding of basketball His father's training was very strict
Henderson would tie heavy iron blocks to his ankles every day to climb the mountain
He almost got reported by his neighbor for child abuse
However Chris just wanted to build his son's perseverance
Strong mental fortitude
He set rules
Everything must be done to the utmost extent
Junior season: He averaged 24 points
6 rebounds 3 assists and 3 steals
per game He also scored an impressive 49 points in a championship game
The team won by a one-point margin in a close
match By the time of the senior season Henderson scored 53 points in a game and led his team
to victory breaking the local league record
He averaged 32 points 7 rebounds and 6 assists that season
Rated a five-star high school prospect by all scouting services
At a pivotal moment in his life
Henderson chose to skip his senior year and
the NCAA and enter the professional league
joining the Ignite team in the development
league and later signed a two-year contract
He earned his first million dollars in his life
At the same time he became the youngest
player in the season's history at the age of 17
His first season in the league
Henderson averaged 14 points 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game
The following year Henderson saw improvements in all statistical categories
He averages 16.5 points 5.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists
per game 3-point shooting percentage is 27.5%
In terms of strengths Henderson has excellent
physical attributes outstanding speed and explosiveness
and consistent mid-range shooting In terms of weaknesses he needs to improve his three-point shooting
Improve some bad defensive habits
The draft website's model is Derrick Rose and Westbrook
Now Henderson's three older sisters
Are focusing on helping their younger brother build a personal brand
The older sister manages his
social media the second sister
handles his styling and the third sister takes care of his
daily life Henderson is very
popular with women in his social
media the proportion of female fans has long exceeded half
But despite his sisters' supervision
Henderson is still a bachelor
Brandon Miller was selected by the Hornets with the second pick but was met
with loud cheers from Hornets fans In
interviews Miller went against the norm
Knowing that the boss is Jordan he said that
Paul George is the real GOAT in his heart and
even said that he will lead the team to challenge for the championship in the new season
This really makes people exclaim with an unusual mind
In 2002 Miller was born in the city of Antioch Tennessee
His father played American football at the University of Alabama
The mother was a school track athlete
Miller also has an older brother and an older sister
and both of them are college basketball players
When Miller was a child he always followed his older brother and sister around
Running around the basketball court aimlessly he was introduced to basketball at an early age
At the age of 12 his father enrolled him in a professional basketball training camp
Plus training every day with his older brother and sisters his basketball skills improved rapidly In his second
year of junior high Miller participated in a
local game He led his team to beat the opponents by more than 30 points
But after the race when Miller was basking in his success
Simmons told Miller "What's there to
brag about when you win a competition
at this level " Miller was immediately intimidated by his presence
After middle school he joined K&Rage High Simmons was the one who
discovered Miller and poured all
his heart into his beloved student
In his senior season Miller led his team to the state semifinals for the first time
in school history Although the team lost the
game Miller averaged 23.3 points per game
Became the focus of attention in the entire
American basketball scene After high school Miller was
rated as a five-star high school player and joined the University of Alabama
Soon after entering the university Miller faced his first opponent the China South
Lan National Team This friendly match Miller
scored the highest 21 points of the game
The team defeated the opponent 89 to 77 It
nailed the Chinese team to the pillar of shame A
news story about a national team losing to a
university team immediately topped the hot search
But now looking back it may not be that the Chinese team was too weak but rather
that Miller was truly strong In his freshman
season Miller averaged 18 points per game
8.2 rebounds 38% three-point shooting accuracy
However just as everyone remembered when he played against Saudi in the疯狂三月
Miller got involved in a shooting incident
The suspect confessed that the gun he used had
previously been in Miller's car and was also how he
sent the gun to the crime scene by messaging
Miller but after that after
a police investigation
Miller was completely
unaware just being
in the wrong place at the wrong time
However this incident ultimately led
to his poor performance in March Madness
As a 2m06" swingman Miller's draft profile
is very similar to Paul George In terms of
advantages Miller's scoring methods are very
versatile with baskets both inside and outside
He can handle the ball and play without it on
defense he also has solid physical attributes His
weakness is that Miller lacks explosive power and
speed and he needs to build more strength in the future
To cope with NBA-level competitio
The viewership of the 2023 draft
increased by 23% compared to last
year and set a new NBA record The
reason is simple:
Victor Wembanyama
Standing at the height of Boban his playing
style closely resembles that of Durant and
Zuminguo At just 19 years old Victor Wembanyama
has become the first since LeBron James
The most sought-after draft prospect is
Victor Wembanyama who comes from a small
town outside Paris France and is from a
sports family His current height is 1.9 meters
The father is a triple jumper
Both the sister and brother are professional basketball players
Even the grandfather's height is only 2 meters He
is a center who can fly and slam dunk
In his childhood
Wen Ban always spent time at the gym
with his mother Naturally he was exposed
to basketball At the age of seven Wen Ban started playing for a local team
He received a lot of attention including from top youth teams like Barcelona
who all extended invitations
to him but in the end his parents rejected them
fearing it would put too much pressure on their son
The final transfer saw Wenban join a mid-tier club
Nantai 9R academy
For Wenban
joining a mid-tier team
would mean settling into a comfortable zone
Let him have more freedom and
fully develop his talent At
that time Wenban was attending
school while also participating in training
And he already had a clear plan for his
future He started to practice spoken English diligently
He even discussed tactics with his coach in English
because he knew he would definitely enter the NBA and the youth academy
of Nanterre also specially
prepared a nutritious lunch for him every day
A dedicated person delivers meals With
the team's careful
cultivation At the age
of 13 Wenban's height reached 1.98 meters
And he could compete in the U15 league
But by the age of 15 Mbappé had
already started training with the first
team and was playing for the U18 squad
After his contract with Nantes ended
Wembanyama joined the ASVEL team owned
by Tony Parker but due to injuries
Wembanyama played in only 13 games during
the season averaging 6.5 points per game
3.8 rebounds
However he won the championship with the team
The second year
Although Parker wanted to build a team around Wembanyama
Wembanyama still chose to opt out of his contract The
reason was because he was part of a championship team
Aberdeen has to play in
the league and also compete
in the Champions League the high match density is not conducive to Wenban who is still growing
and at the same time was rejected by Wenban
Also included were Barcelona and
Union elite teams The reason was also the two-front war It was too
much to handle Finally
Wembanyama joined the financially struggling New York 92 It is
worth noting that
Because of Valan's joining the NBA immediately
purchased the entire season's broadcast rights
for the Mets directly revitalizing the team
This season Valan averaged
21.6 points per game
10.4 rebounds
3.1 blocks
three stats
top in the military league
for Wembanyama
some say he has groundbreaking talent
but others say
He couldn't adapt to the intensity of NBA games
The draft website NBADrop net
in terms of defensive ability
only gave him a 6 rating
His current ability to compete has raised concerns
in the basketball world However Wembanyama is only 19
years old and his body is still developing Just think of Giannis back then he
really had the sky as his limit
His limit was just that Believe
that under Manshi's training
Bambaama's future will surely fulfill his talent and
become a rival
