At this year's NBA Draft, we witnessed a year that is commonly known in the industry as the "Draft Year." However, even in this context, each of the young players selected carries the expectations and dreams of their respective teams. Of particular interest is that Bronny James, the son of basketball superstar LeBron James, has also attracted much attention for his basketball career.
First, let's focus on this year's top pick, Victor Wembanyama (Risachet). The French forward, born in 2005, was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the top pick in the NBA Draft on June 27, becoming another French player to be elected to the NBA for the second consecutive year after last year. This achievement not only demonstrates his talent and strength in basketball, but also demonstrates the rise of French basketball on the international stage.
Wembanyama is a staggering 206 centimeters tall and averages 10.1 points and 3.8 rebounds in 22 minutes per game in Ligue 1. What's even more remarkable is that his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are quite high, which makes him extremely dangerous on the offensive end. Such a personal performance is undoubtedly the key to his standing out in the draft.
However, Wembanyama's election is not just about his personal accolades. For the Lakers, the emergence of the new No. 1 pick could trigger a series of trades and strategy adjustments. After all, a team with a No. 1 pick usually sees it as the cornerstone of the team's future, and the Lakers, as a long-established giant, are no exception. They may consider a trade to free up more room for Wembanyama to ensure the youngster can shine in the NBA.
At the same time, we can't ignore the presence of Brownie James either. As the son of LeBron James, Bronny has shown extraordinary talent and potential in basketball since he was a child. While he wasn't selected in this year's draft, that doesn't mean his basketball career is over. Instead, he still has a chance to make it to the NBA through other avenues and continue to chase his basketball dreams.
In fact, Bronny has shown some of his strength in recent games. He has excellent break-through and shooting ability on the offensive end, as well as showing great potential on the defensive end. These qualities have made him a high-profile young player. While his draft prospects are uncertain, there is reason to believe that as long as he continues to train and play hard, he will be able to make his mark in the NBA in the future.
When comparing the annual salaries of NBA champions and CBA champions, it is not difficult to find a huge gap between the two. Taking Wembanyama as an example, he is expected to sign a four-year contract of about 60 million US dollars, and his salary in the first season will be as high as 14 million US dollars (equivalent to about 82.84 million yuan). In contrast, the annual salary of the CBA champion is only about 500,000 yuan. This huge gap not only reflects the importance that the NBA draft attaches to the future cornerstone of the team, but also reflects the huge difference between the two leagues in terms of salary system and commercial value.
To sum up, although this year's NBA Draft is called a "small year", each of the young players selected carries the expectations and dreams of their respective teams. Whether it's a new champion like Wembanyama or a high-profile young player like Bronny James, they will continue to write their own basketball legends in the NBA arena in the future. And all of this makes us full of infinite expectations and longing for the sport of basketball.
