The Dramatic Changes in the Top Scholar's Situation

The battle for the top draft pick between Yes and Adam Morrison took a dramatic turn in March.

This is not because of Yes and Morrison's performance in the NCAA.

However, by March, the NBA regular season standings were basically settled.

Before the NBA regular season rankings are finalized, it's up to the scouts to decide who is the most deserving number one pick between Yes and Morrison.

Whoever the scout thinks has the best potential will be the number one draft pick.

Morrison's prospect is Bird.

Yes's prospect is Reggio Miller.

According to scouts, Morrison was undoubtedly the number one pick in the 2006 draft class!

There's no chance that Yesle could compete with Morrison.

Morrison is not only Larry Bird Jr., but also someone Jordan values!

With the double boost of being called "Little Larry Bird" and "highly regarded by Jordan," no one can replace Morrison's position in the eyes of scouts.

However, this situation has recently changed dramatically!

The Charlotte Bobcats, widely considered the weakest team in the East, are no longer in last place!

The team currently ranked last in the Eastern Conference is the New York Knicks!

Moreover, the Knicks' draft picks are still in the Bulls' hands!

In 2005, the Knicks traded their 06 and 07 first-round picks to the Bulls in order to acquire Eddy Curry.

Based on the current rankings, if the Bulls had gotten the number one pick, they might not have selected Larry Bird or Morrison!

Because Morrison and the Bulls' young star Luol Deng occupy the same position.

Of course, Yes also overlaps with Ben Gordon of the Bulls.

Therefore, there have been persistent rumors that if the Bulls get the number one draft pick, they will trade it.

The Bulls are short of a center, but they don't have a center worth drafting with their number one pick this year.

Therefore, it all depends on who trades for the Bulls' number one draft pick.

If a team that wants Morrison is traded to acquire him, then Morrison will be the number one draft pick.

If a team that wants Yes is traded to him, then Yes will be the number one draft pick.

It's really a 50/50 chance which team will ultimately trade for the Bulls' number one draft pick.

This is the situation where the Bulls got the number one draft pick.

However, if the Portland Trail Blazers, who are currently the worst team in the Western Conference and the league, were to get the number one pick, the situation would be different.

If the Bulls lacked nothing, then the Trail Blazers lacked everything.

Whether it's a guard like Yes or a forward like Morrison, the Trail Blazers need them.

Therefore, whether the Trail Blazers will select Yes or Morrison with the number one pick depends on the team's future playing style.

The question is, what kind of playing style does the Trail Blazers' head coach, Nate McMillan, have?

McMillan was a student of George Carr.

Running and unity have always been George Carr's trademarks.

Morrison has absolutely nothing to do with running.

If the Trail Blazers get the number one pick, Morrison will never be the number one pick!

Two months ago, even if Morrison wasn't the player the Trail Blazers wanted, they would have had no choice but to draft him if they got the number one pick.

Because of all the rookies in the 06 draft class, Morrison was the only one who deserved to be the number one pick.

Whether we'll need it after we've made the selection is another matter.

It's unnecessary; exchanging it won't be a loss.

The biggest achievement of Yes's efforts over the past two months is not that he has taken Morrison's place in the scouts' eyes, but that he has proven to everyone that he also deserves a number one draft pick.

Even the most enthusiastic scouts who admire Morrison wouldn't deny that Yes deserves a number one draft pick right now.

This would prevent teams like the Trail Blazers from having only Morrison as an option.

Since we don't need Morrison, let's choose Yes.

No matter how highly Morrison is regarded by scouts, it has nothing to do with the Trail Blazers!

With the Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers having an increasingly higher chance of getting the number one draft pick, Yes inexplicably has a better prospect of being the number one pick than Morrison.

According to current probabilities from American media, Yes has a 75% chance of becoming the number one draft pick, while Morrison only has a 25% chance!

The situation changed so quickly that even Yes himself hadn't expected it.

Not to mention Yes, even the NBA teams didn't expect this.

The New York Knicks acquired Eddy Curry from the Bulls with the intention of making a big impact!

Who would have thought that offensive geniuses like Stephon Marbury, Jamal Crawford, Eddie Curry, Jalen Rose, and Channing Frye would have a worse record than Jordan's Bobcats under Larry Brown's leadership!

If the Bobcats successfully secure the number one draft pick, then Morrison will be unchallenged.

Now look what's happened! The Bobcats are crying, Jordan is crying, the Knicks are crying too, only the Bulls are laughing, and the other teams in the league are getting anxious!

The Bulls, who traded Eddy Curry to the Knicks, never imagined they would get the number one draft pick in 2006.

The Bulls traded Curry simply because they couldn't afford to re-sign him. Trading a near All-Star for two first-round picks isn't a bad deal.

Given the Knicks' current situation, it seems Eddy Curry is trying to trade two number one draft picks back to the Bulls!

Everyone at the Bulls is now looking forward to the 2007 number one draft pick!

2007 was the year Greg Oden was born!

As for the 06 number one draft pick, the Bulls are now acting as if whoever offers the highest bid will get it.

"I'm not concerned about the NBA right now. My most important thing is to help the University of Washington defend its P-10 conference championship."

March 9, 2006, Staples Center, Los Angeles.

When Jesse Yeller, who led the University of Washington to an 89-47 victory over Oregon State in the first round, was interviewed by CBS, the first question CBS asked was not about his and Roy's combined 68 points tonight.

The first thing they asked was about the current situation regarding the top scorer in 2006.

Yes said he didn't care, but how could he not care about something like this!

This is a top-scoring ticket!

Even the other players at the University of Washington are excited right now!

"Ye, you will be the number one draft pick, and you definitely will! You will become a true superstar like LeBron James!"

What Yes's dream is, how could Roy, Conroy, Simmons, Washington not know?

Back then, they always thought Yes was a genius on par with LeBron James!

They were the ones who dragged Yes down and caused him to fall into depravity.

They always felt they owed Yes a number one draft pick like LeBron James.

If Yes can get the number one pick in this year's draft.

Then all the knots in their hearts from the past four years will be untied!

"Everyone, I know you're all very happy for Yes right now. Why don't we give Yes the P-10 Championship title as a gift?"

Lorenzo Romar's suggestion received a warm response from all the University of Washington players.

Teams in the P-10 conference were already terrified of the University of Washington, but now they're not just terrified, they're trembling with fear!

2006年3月10号，华盛顿大学以81比59的比分击败亚利桑那大学后，顺利的和UCLA会师P-10联盟锦标赛的决赛。

In the final, the University of Washington defeated UCLA 81-62, winning their third consecutive match this season and successfully defending their P-10 conference championship!

"Phil, is Yes worth the price we have to pay to get him?"

The Bulls' draft picks have become increasingly open, and the trend of the highest bidder winning is becoming more and more obvious.

Teams across the league that want to acquire Yes are now all making moves.

Of course, teams also interested in acquiring Larry Bird and Adam Morrison are also on the move.

A fierce battle of interception and counter-interception between Yes and Morrison is unfolding!

"Yes, we deserve to have him, but Lamar deserves to stay even more."

"I see, that's a real shame."

Mitch Kupchak glanced into the distance, where his former boss, Jerry West, was sitting.

Besides Jerry West, there were also a bunch of familiar faces here, including Danny Angie and Buford.

Their purpose in coming here is self-evident.

They were all assessing what price they were worth paying to obtain Yes.
