Last week, Victor venbanama had a very incredible moment in the match between the United States leading the Metropolitan 92 team and the G League lighting team. After receiving the ball on the right side of wenbanyama arch top in the conversion attack, he only transported the ball and sank to the bottom of the corner. In his life, he wrote a drift and leaned back three points. The 2.26-meter-tall talented player skillfully mastered the technical action of three points in the back, without any interference from the defender, and played like Reggie Miller in the peak period.
The most surprising part is that the 18-year-old player, who is also a center nominally 2.26 meters tall, has perfect control over the body, and all the abilities needed to put the ball into rim. Through the drift of the bottom corner, Wen banyama showed his skillful skills at such a young age and the reason why he could become such a special talent player.
To some extent, the competition of each team for Wen banyama will partially define the whole new season. If Wen Banya Ma is really a rare talent for a hundred years, it is not surprising that all teams try their best to get him. Welcome to the 2022-23 season, which is a “wenbanyama battle”. NBA President Adam Xiaohua said in an interview last week: “I don’t want the title of ‘next great talent ‘to cause bad luck to Wen banyama. After all, he hasn’t entered the NBA yet. However, he does have all the qualities and physical talents that can really change the rules of the game. It seems that he is also eager to be a great player, standing on the big stage facing the lighted team. I know many NBA teams are eager to get him. It is really tempting to get Wen banyama through lottery, but they should continue to compete hard next season.”
Now people are beginning to wonder what changes winbana will bring to a team. A simple answer is that no matter which lucky team becomes the biggest winner of lottery draw and gets winbana, will make the team look brand-new. However, each team has different degrees of talent at present. Getting wenbanyama will also have different degrees of influence on the speed of each team to become a winning team or a playoff team.
Lottery lottery winning the first prize is not only a success in basketball, but also a surprise for the business sector of the team. Super stars with global influence can promote the development of all aspects of the team, promote ticket sales, increase sales of peripheral products, and improve the market value of the whole team.
Next, we will analyze every team that has the opportunity to get Wen banyama and see what he means to each team, in order, the probability of winning the first prize is from high to low according to the estimated number of teams on the Tankathon website.
Remind me: the three teams with the worst record in NBA each season will have a 14% probability of winning the first prize, while the team with the fourth last prize will have a 12.5% probability of winning the first prize, the fifth to last is 10.5%, the sixth to last is 9%, then 7.5%, 6%…… And so on, the probability of winning the Champion sign for the team up to the 14th from the bottom is 0.5%.
St Anthony Homa Thorn
Estimated probability of the first prize sign: 14%
The coach of Popovich baby has said many times that the goal of the Spurs new season is not the championship. The deal goes to the bottom of the league in the Spurs new season. The history of the Spurs has always had a good lottery luck. In 1987, the winning champion signed David Robinson, and in 1997, the winning champion signed Duncan, the two draft winners built a 20-year success for Spurs and won five championship trophies.
Getting Wen Banya Ma to Spurs may mean a repeat of history, bringing the team a cornerstone player to rely on. Spurs the current lineup already has Kelden Johnson, Sohan, Primo and Vasell, and these young players have good long-term development prospects, but it seems that no one has the potential to grow into a stable All-Star player. If Spurs gets wenbanyama, he can build a team around him that can return to the peak of Young Pioneer team history. The past history of Spurs has proved that they know how to do it. Of course, Wen banyama still has a lot of room for development.
Houston Rocket
Estimated probability of the first prize sign: 14%
The Rockets already have several young players with attractive prospects. The second half of the Jay Green rookie season is strong. Shen Jing has talent and courage, kevin PROTONIC, who was in the 30th order in the first round, now shows its potential and can bring a lot of trouble to opponents. In June this year, the Rockets just took off little Jamari Smith with a flower probe at the draft conference. One day he will have the opportunity to become a tall and versatile flank player. So the Rockets actually have a good young squad at present, with solid players in the front and back.
If the rocket gets Wen banyama again, count Kevin-PROTONIC and Shen Jing (if they all agree to renew the contract with the rocket in the future), the Rockets will have three players with the potential to become all-star regular customers in the future. At the same time, the Rockets during the off-season in 2023 will have a lot of salary space. With wenbanyama, the Rockets can jump directly to the forefront of the new and strong team.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Estimated probability of the first prize sign: 14%
It would be too exaggerated if Thunder won the first prize. In the past three seasons, Thunder focused on the future at the expense of the present. Every season reaches the middle stage, Thunder will quietly turn around and start to rot. In this way, they gradually accumulated a lot of talented players around Alexander, and got kiddy, Holmgren, Mann, dot, Jay-Williams, pokushevski and Giang. Will all these players play well? Maybe not, but their potential is visible to the naked eye.
Holmgren will be fully reimbursed for the new season due to injury, making Thunder unable to see the unicorn player on the stage. Imagine what Wen banyama would look like in thunder. Thunder can arrange a high and long talent lineup. All positions have physical advantages. Everyone on the court can shoot, fengshui ball and create offensive opportunities, there are also two monster-level basket guards. Getting the winbana horse club made general manager Presti’s plan a great success, and further promoted the league’s protest against the bad team.
Indiana Pacers
Estimated probability of first prize signing: 12.5%
The Pacers are still in the untenable position. Halliburton is going to take over the team. Rookie masserin is ready to fight with him, while the Pacers are still selling Hilder and Turner. The history of the Pacers has never won the first prize, and next year may be their first time. The lineup built with Halliburton and Wen Banya Ma as the core enables walkers to take the main advantages in the positions of guard and center. Maselin can tap his own potential in the flanking position, duarte and Isaiah Jackson may also be the team’s long-term starting players. All this is a very good start for walkers, increasing their exposure in the US live broadcast. In the new season, only one game is scheduled for the Pacers to broadcast live throughout the United States, and there are only five games in the 2021-22 season. If walkers can get wenbanyama, at least game session of the live broadcast in the United States will have a qualitative leap.
Utah Jazz
Estimated probability of first-shot signing: 10.5%
It would be good if the Jazz could get wenbanyama, for which they almost paid all the price. Two All-Star players and three starting players were sent away, just to fight for Wen banyama. However, the situation of Wen Banya Ma is not so ideal. There are either some young players with uncertain prospects or some veterans who will be traded at any time. At this stage, there is no better way to promote reconstruction than getting Wen Banya Ma, but this jazz who started from scratch still needs to add a lot of talented teams around him. On the positive side, jazz has a pile of future picks, and has the ability and confidence to push forward the reconstruction process slowly, or when needed, these draft assets, build a competitive team around wenbanyama.
Orlando Magic
Expected probability of first-shot signing: 9%
If Magic wins the first prize, it will be the second time they have won the first prize for two consecutive years in young pioneer team history. The last time was in 1992 and 1993. In 93, Magic won the first prize with a probability of 1.5% (the lowest in history). Chris Weber was chosen, there was no shortage of Inside Magic, which sent Weber to the Warriors for the “penny” of the flower show anfenny-Hadaway. Magic entered the finals under the leadership of the champion Minister O’Neal in 92 and Penny Hardaway. The 2.08-meter-tall bankelo has the potential to become the fulcrum of the magic attack and has the outside skills to create opportunities for himself and his teammates. The large flanking player Franz Wagner’s rookie season has performed strongly. The beginning stage of sagos’s career is not stable, but there is still potential to be developed. Little Wendell Carter and Fultz will be good line-up puzzles, the future of Bamba and Isaac is still uncertain.
If Magic gets wenbanyama, they may have a group of super-sized skilled players. It felt so incredible that I imagined the picture of Kelo and wenbanyama working together after work. Sagus and Wagner were still standing at the bottom corner. Or whether sagas is chasing and defending the opponent’s attack point, Wen Banya Ma falls on the screen of the inner line guard basket. Wen Banya Ma’s magic is one of the most interesting endings.
Detroit Piston
Expected Number One sign probability: 7.5%
The upper limit may be the highest after the piston gets Wen Banya Ma. Corning Ham already has the best team guard in the future. Ivy may be selected as an All-Star. Now, looking back to this year’s draft conference, it is still surprising that Ivy can fall to the fifth order. Sadik-Bei has played a single performance with a score of 50 + this season and is an ideal flank player who is good at shooting. Durham’s new season can prove that he deserves a starting center position in NBA, but he will definitely not be the reason to give up Wen banyama. As for stoerta, he is a big bully.
With the help of Corning and Wen Banya Ma, the piston will have two star players in the next few years, avoiding the long and painful process of finding a top star partner. On the basis of the existing lineup, the piston naturally has the property that both small balls and big balls can play, which can not only play hard internal battles, but also open the space to go through the technical flow. What a luxury it would be if Corning was only the second best player in the piston team in the next four years.
Sacramento King
Expected Number One sign probability: 6%
If the King won the first prize, it would be a comfort for them to be depressed in the past 20 years. The late reward is better than none. The king already has a good core lineup. Wen banyama can raise the upper limit of the current lineup a lot, and he can adapt to any player.
Washington Wizards
Expected Number One sign probability: 4.5%
Even if Wizards get wenbanyama, do you think they can finally win more than 50 games a season? Since the 1978-79 season, Wizards have never won more than 50 games in a single season. However, if we can get wenbanyama, it will be of great help to a team like wizards that has stagnated in the past few seasons. The arrival of wenbanama allows the Wizards to make the best use of Bill’s remaining peak hours in his career, and the Wizards already have some interesting talents for young people, such as eight villages, afdia, johnny Davis, and some experienced players like Porzingis and Kuzma. Porzingis can tell Wen banyama what kind of danger a 2.21-meter big man will face in NBA. Of course, as an NBA official, I certainly hope that a potential championship team will appear in Washington, the capital of the United States.
Charlotte wasp
Expected probability of first-shot signing: 3%
For NBA and team bosses, there is an interesting question: are they more willing to increase the market valuation of the top 30 teams or the market valuation of the weak teams? According to data from the Sportico website, the market value of Wasps ranks the fourth lowest among all NBA teams. Perhaps international talented stars like Wanyama can bring great help to Wasps in this respect. We have already seen this kind of thing. According to the data of Forbes website, the stag ranked the bottom of the league in the market valuation in 2013. A few months later, they chose the letter brother, now the market valuation of the stag has climbed to the 17th place. The integration with Hornets on the court will be very interesting. Ramello-Bauer is an expert in passing the ball. Wen Banya Ma will get many opportunities to take three goals, and they will become the cornerstone partners of hornets.
New York Knicks
Estimated probability of the first prize sign: 2%
Even assuming that the Knicks can win the lottery, they will annoy many Knicks fans. They will angrily remind you that Knicks have never taken advantage of lottery draw, let alone winning the lottery. However, it is assumed to be bold. After all, Knicks did get the first prize before, and the prize was a center who could change the whole alliance. Knicks can do it again. Wen Banya Ma is a panacea to solve all the needs of Knicks. Since Anthony was traded, the Knicks have never had a star who can be selected into the best team and missed Michelle this summer. In the past 20 years, the Knicks have no ability to attract other players except Anthony. At present, the Knicks have Barrett and other excellent and young role players, and the team also has many draft assets to acquire more talented players. If you get wenbanama, Knicks will be more willing to use these talent picks and young players to change stars. They know which players can really bring help.
Portland Trail Blazers
Estimated probability of the first prize sign: 1.5%
It will certainly be interesting for Wen banama to go to the Trail Blazers. Lillard continued to lead the Trail Blazers after a year of team restructuring. Once there was a rumor that Lillard might leave, but at present it seems that he will stay with the Pioneers for several years. The 23-year-old anfinny Simmons is Lillard’s reliable backcourt partner and has the ability to score continuously. The rookie sharp selected by the team this summer also looks quite good. Beside Lillard, who is the defense focus of the opponent, wenbanyama not only has a great veteran example to learn, but also provides him with a lot of buffer space to adapt to the strength of NBA. The Blazers already have enough talent, and the arrival of Wen banyama can almost immediately make the Blazers become the perennial playoff team in the West, as for the higher level, it depends on the growth speed of wenbanyama and how long Lade can maintain the peak state.
Chicago Bull
Estimated probability of the first prize sign: 1%
From a commercial point of view, going to the bull is an ideal result for NBA and Wen banyama. Bull, as a team with a long history, has a huge market. Wen banyama’s Bull jersey will be sold out on the first day he joined the bull. As for the situation on the court, it is hard to say. DeRozan played well in the Bull this season, but he is 34 years old, and the new season will be the last year of his contract. Lavin will be a good match for Wen banama. Vucey Vich will become a free agent in the summer of next year. It is hard to say the situation of Lanzo-Bauer and Patrick Williams. In spite of this, the bull with Lavin, Caruso and health Bauer, plus the above banyama, is very interesting, and the lineup around wenbanyama also has certain flexibility.
New Orleans pelican
Expected Number One sign probability: 0.5%
Wenbanama and sinn are in a team? Too ridiculous!
