MTL - The Rest, Only Noise-Chapter 14 Scouts are not blind
K.C. Jones has an extraordinary place on the team as a member of the Celtics dynasty.
However, his language organization ability is worrying.
When he opened a piece of paper like a Hall of Fame speech, the faces of his colleagues on the scene showed various colors.
"Given that we've just had a failed season, I think we need to improve at every position," K.C said earnestly. "I have two suggestions for the backline. And only those two, no Alternative."
K.C first said John Long's name.
"He's from Michigan, a full-size guard who can play at the NBA level, he played the 3 in college, but he has the shooting ability to play the 2 in the NBA. K.C. Simplified Louie's scouting report," Based on my observations of the multiple Michigan games we have on hand, I see him playing hard, with a strong sense of competition, and in keeping with our tradition."
K.C also said something Louie didn't know: "I heard Detroit is interested in him, and while they don't have a first-round pick, they have two top second-round picks if they pick before us. John, we should figure out a way to trade with them. If they're asking too much, go for a backup."
Louie didn't expect K.C to use Maurice Cheeks as a backup.
In his opinion, Long and Cheeks should be drafted together.
"Maurice Cheeks, from West Texas State University, he is a fast guard, has excellent overall situation and playmaking ability, and has fast speed and strong defensive ability." K.C said that this is not without pride "He's literally the younger generation of me."
Auerbach quipped: "His shot doesn't smell as bad as yours?"
K.C embarrassedly said, "He doesn't shoot much..."
The bishop made fun of K.C's shot, and everyone was happy.
K.C went on to say: "Due to the weak competitiveness of West Texas State University, Morris' name is rarely known, and his draft market is bleak, but he is undoubtedly a legacy. If there is a chance, we should also Get John Long and Maurice Cheeks. If not, get at least one of them."
K.C is not as high-spirited as John Kirillia, he just says everything he knows.
After he finished his speech and just entered the discussion session, Sanders naturally stood on the side of his old teammates, and the coaching staff took the same position.
The secretary has nothing to say.
It seems that this is what Auerbach decided after listening to everyone's opinions.
But Auerbach saw that Kyrilla had something to say, so he didn't come to a conclusion early: "John, if you have something to say, it's all my own here."
Kirillia smiled, he sat upright, and when he heard the bishop's questioning, he said: "K.C's report is very valuable, I also think John is a good player who was buried, but he is very likely to be used by Detroit. With the No. 1 pick in the second round, we'd have to pay extra for a trade. As for Maurice Cheeks... I think that's overstated on the scouting report."
K.C kept calm, Louis knew that this guy would be in trouble.
Everyone looked at him, wondering what he had to say.
"The scouting report says Morris has excellent playmaking skills and a big-picture view. Judging from his four-year college assists per game, it's not bad. But based on the feedback I've gotten, Morris's assists aren't like the numbers. Stats are so good, West Texas State's division has a notorious reputation for being irresponsible stats, and Morris has a reputation for selfish possession of the ball."
Kyrilla gave an example: "When the ball is too concentrated on one player, it's easy to brush the stats."
"The biggest difference between him and John Long is that he didn't lead his team to great results, he never made it to a national championship, he played four years of selfish basketball on an obscure team. ." Kyrilla said a classic, "If he is really good, the scouts are not blind (we can all see)."
With K.C's eloquence, if he was allowed to debate with Kirillia, he might be a loser.
"Ahem..." Louie said, "I'm sorry, I wrote the scouting report on Morris Cheeks, and K.C knows a lot about it, but he doesn't know as much about Morris as I do. I have a few words to say."
It's weird to have a secondary scout here.
Now this secondary scout asks to speak and skips his lead scout.
"If K.C has no opinion." Auerbach knew that the kid was going to be a demon.
K.C became Louis' tool man without knowing it. He shrugged and said helplessly, "You can do whatever you want."
"I was surprised by what Joker said." Louie was interrupted angrily as soon as he spoke, "My name is John!"
"Oh, really? Then I was really careless." Louie laughed to himself. "No wonder my scouting report has such a big mistake. I even remembered your name wrong, sorry York."
...the ventilation will be quiet, and Louie looks defiant.
"Don't say it's useless." Auerbach interrupted.
Louie then turned to Auerbach, and Ralph, the team's president of operations, and he began: "Some people say Morris is selfish, but his numbers don't show that. Minute freshman season, the remaining three college seasons, he played 35 minutes per game, only 7.6 shots, but a high shooting rate of 56%. If he is a selfish player, there is no way he is shooting in the field. Such a low shot with such a high."
"In addition, his assists per game are not as many as described in the scouting report. What I want to emphasize is that he has a big picture and selflessness. He is a dutiful player. Do your part." Louie emphasized, "I value his discipline and defense, which is underestimated by many. In his senior season, he averaged 3.1 steals per game, which is very important for hand movements. It's an amazing statistic in the NCAA where the penalties are extremely harsh."
Kyrilla questioned: "If he's that good, how could Jack McMahon sell his scouting report to K.C?"
"Well, probably because the old man thinks there are too many scouts like York (The Clown)." Louie's yin and yang pun made Kyrilla's face hot. "Morris didn't have a draft market, he should have accepted every opportunity presented to him, but he turned down our tryout invitation."
"What's more interesting is that he settled in Philadelphia before rejecting our tryout." Louie laughs, "It is undeniable that Philadelphia is more attractive than Boston to black players, but if Philadelphia can't guarantee his In the future, what reason does he have to reject us?"
Louie's words are precious, and it's not over yet.
"What amazes me the most is when I called Jack McMahon in K.C's name to ask about Morris, he described Morris as a useless player on the phone, UU read www.uukanshu.com He was so agitated, so agitated, I couldn't believe him..." Louie then looked at Auerbach, "It reminds me of a story - Reed watched Dave Cowan live in 1969 But Reed left before halftime, which made a lot of people think Reed was disappointed with Dave's performance, and what happened after that, I think everyone knows."
Sanders and several assistant coaches nodded again and again and were completely persuaded.
Even Ralph, the president next to Reed, and Jane Walker, the deputy general manager, were one-sided in his rhetoric.
Kirillia's face became more and more ugly.
"Finally, thanks to Saatchi, his agent happened to know Morris's agent. Through this channel, we learned about the other party's dynamics." Louis laughed, "According to the information we have obtained, these few days, Morris's agent, Dolph Galen, who has been running for his other clients, seems to have completely abandoned Morris."
Having said that, the results are already clear.
"I think Maurice Cheeks has a lot of potential, combined with his recent developments, I have good reason to believe that Philly has given him draft commitment, so we can't wait until the third round to select him, we should Start a trade early in the second round and get the right pick to get him!"
"We shouldn't be afraid of trading, every rise in Celtic history is related to trading." Louis finally looked at Kyrilla's eye, "Of course, some scouts who have problems with their eyes look at it no matter what. less than that."
"you!"
Kirillia's mouth twitched in anger.
New week, looking for tickets, looking for follow-up reading?(????)?
