On June 27, Beijing time, the NBA2024 first-round draft officially came to an end, and with the Green Army's No. 30 pick to select Sherman from Clayton University, all 30 players selected in the first round were released.
It's a pity that Bronny and Choi Yong-hee, the two popular kings in the eyes of fans and media in China and the United States, did not appear in the first round of the draft. These two are the pride of heaven in the hearts of many fans, especially Bronny is the eldest son of NBA superstar James, who revealed early that he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps to compete in the NBA, and James also spared no effort to build momentum for his son, and many media are also pushing the NBA history of James and his son competing on the same stage or joining forces on the same stage. Although basketball talent is far inferior to his father James, Bronny himself is the team's ticket guarantee.
Many teams have shown a lot of interest in Bronny, and there have even been a number of first-round picks who have contacted Bronny for tryouts. Unfortunately, Bronny didn't make it to the first round, even though the Lakers management had the No. 17 pick, and didn't use it to select Bronny. Fortunately, many teams with second-round picks are very fond of Bronny, especially James's Lakers team also has a No. 55 pick, which can be said to ensure Bronny's final cover.
Bronny has a very big reliance, while Chinese player Cui Yongxi is not so lucky, Cui Yongxi has been looking for opportunities to enter the NBA after failing to enter the Chicago joint trial, and constantly conducts trials for various teams. Losing the first round was also in the plan, as long as it can be selected in the second round, it will be able to successfully land in the NBA this year, and the original goal has been achieved. But all this has to wait for the final result tomorrow, and despite the excellent performance in the trial, no team has yet said that Choi Yong-hee will be selected.
The French men's basketball team became the biggest winner in this draft. The top and champion and the No. 6 show are all young athletes from France, and the talented champion Wembanyama of the previous edition is also a French men's basketball player, which is really talented.
