Chapter 631: Chapter 246: The Decision Gate_2
"Evan Turner?" Erin mentioned, "He swept all the NCAA awards this year, and many are rooting for him to become a superstar!"
Su Wan shook his head: "Times have changed."
Erin was taken aback, "What?"
Su Wan just repeated, "Times have changed."
He couldn’t very well say that this guy was a bust, could he?
He could say that about OJ Mayo, but not Evan Turner.
As far as he remembered, Turner was quite low-key and had turned into a decent wing defender, but he just never managed to develop his shooting and therefore hadn’t lived up to the high expectations.
"DeMarcus Cousins?"
"That guy needs to control his temper!"
"Gordon Hayward from Indiana?"
"He’s going to be a solid wing. I’ve seen his performance in the NCAA, and if he stays healthy, he’ll make it to the All-Star game for years."
"What about Paul George? He’s an NCAA Division II player, but experts think he has great potential."
"I think so too, maybe he could become a superstar."
"Is he the one who might become the regular-season MVP?" Erin was now familiar with Su Wan’s way of speaking.
Su Wan said, "He’s one of the rookies I’m most optimistic about!"
"So... really no one who could become the regular-season MVP?"
Erin had gone through all the lottery favorites.
Not a single "regular-season MVP" prospect met Su Wan’s approval.
And last year’s draft, Su Wan had predicted two guys who became regular-season MVPs.
It seemed to Erin that in Su Wan’s eyes, this year’s class really wasn’t up to the 2009 class!
Could there be a miscalculation?
Erin was somewhat concerned.
After all, she had seen the profiles of this year’s rookies, and their physical abilities were particularly exaggerated, especially the top pick favorite, John Wall.
Described as an "enhanced version of Rose," his speed was even more eye-catching than Rose’s.
And as a point guard, he also had better vision and passing skills than Rose.
If Rose could become a "regular-season MVP," why not him?
Meanwhile, Donnie Walsh was on the phone with his assistant, "Quick, quick, quick, around the 10th pick in the first round, is there any rookie Su Wan is high on... Paul... George? Who is Paul George?"
Donnie Walsh hastily flipped through his draft reports.
Finally, he found the info on Paul George.
"From an NCAA Division II school?"
Donnie Walsh usually passed on such players, but after hearing his assistant say that Su Wan’s rating of Paul George was high, believing he had a chance at the regular-season MVP and was the highest-rated rookie by Su Wan in 2010, he no longer hesitated.
Fine... I guess!
Why not, if that’s who Su Wan likes?
Let’s go with him!
Then, he wrote the name Paul George on the envelope.
...
"With the 10th pick in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks select Paul George from Fresno State University!"
...
"The New York Knicks chose Paul George with the 10th pick in the first round?" Erin glanced at Su Wan. She was sure someone in the Knicks office was "spying" on Su Wan’s draft prediction livestream.
Otherwise, how could the Knicks coincidentally pick Paul George?
According to information Erin had, the Knicks hadn’t even worked out Paul George.
Look at George’s face when he heard the Knicks had selected him – written all over it was astonishment. Clearly, he hadn’t expected to be picked by New York.
Well, he hadn’t heard Su Wan’s comments about him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so surprised.
Then Su Wan saw many other familiar names.
All the way until the Brooklyn Nets picked Jordan Crawford with the 27th pick in the first round, Su Wan smiled knowingly.
This guy wasn’t just anybody.
The college student who’d executed a slam dunk on LeBron in the "videotape incident"...
That’s him!
After the second episode of "Su Wan’s Predictions" wrapped up, Tyrone immediately came to New York to meet Su Wan, and next, Su Wan would start his own "tour" to decide his next stop.
Though Tyrone hadn’t been around these past few days, he had arranged everything well in advance.
Su Wan originally didn’t want to do this, but Tyrone convinced him, "Su, this is the time to show your influence, trust me, it will boost your commercial value!"
One of the reasons Su Wan left Indiana was to make big money.
So...
Let the tour begin!
After the final filtering, Tyrone identified six teams that Su Wan needed to visit.
It wasn’t that only six teams’ general managers sought him out.
It was that Tyrone had passed over any teams not in big cities.
These six teams were:
The Lakers, Clippers, Bulls, Heat, Knicks, and 76ers!
Corresponding to Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, New York, and Philly.
Dallas and Houston were big cities too, and they too expressed a desire to land Su Wan.
Yes, you heard it right, they indeed wanted Su Wan, especially Cuban, who seemed to forget all the nasty things he had done to Su Wan and almost wished to call eight times a day.
Tyrone had to block his number once, and that guy even changed his number to call Tyrone again.
You could tell how desperate he was.
But Tyrone knew too well that Su Wan would rather slap Cuban unconscious than give him a chance.
And Houston, well, no need to mention.
The Rockets’ current GM was Morey – Tyrone had once seen Su Wan pin Morey’s picture on a dartboard.
