After the first round of the series, the results of the 1996 NBA draft lottery were also announced.

And this one of the most important drafts in NBA history has also undergone changes that are different from the original history.

The top three picks haven't changed much, they are still the 76ers, Raptors and Grizzlies.

Although the 76ers changed a potential stock, under the leadership of Garnett, they still won 20 games and won the No. 1 pick. No one in the Eastern Conference can match them.

The second and third picks were all Canadian teams, so some people started conspiracy theories that Stern gave them the top three picks because he wanted to support two new teams.

Stern was speechless. How could a bad old man like me be so capable?

The NBA is a competitive sports league, and there is no behind-the-scenes operation in either the lottery or the competition.

Those who say there is a shady story are as outrageous as the Magic letting O'Neal go for nothing!

Will the Magic let O'Neal go for nothing? It's obviously impossible, so the league has no behind-the-scenes operation!

The first three picks remained the same, but the sixth pick changed and became the New York Knicks!

In original history, the Knicks were still a championship contending team during this period, so the draft naturally had nothing to do with them.

But in this history, due to the early demise of Ewing, the Knicks team was in a bad state, so they got the sixth pick.

The seventh one became a pioneer, which was also considered a success.

Logo Man is also busy with the draft, because even if you don’t look at it with an open eye, the 1996 draft is still a draft full of talent.

It's true that the Lakers are a championship contending team, but if they can get one or two players of good quality in the draft, that would be great.

Since Finley's draft was successful again last summer, Logo took advantage of the temporary lull in the playoffs and went to visit Shay with a fruit basket.

Ask Shea for his thoughts on the '96 draft.

Ask Shay if there are any players within the Lakers' 24th pick that are worth trying.

Shea recommended several people, such as Stephen Nash, the son of a former professional football player. He shot accurately, passed the ball accurately, and played dirty.

Dirtier than Stockton.

Jermaine O'Neal is another high school power forward. Shea believes that he can grow into one of the league's strongest defensive four positions in the future.

Ilgauskas, he has all the advantages of a European center.

And a guard named Ben Wallace who could only play in the NCAA Division II league and struggled to even shoot free throws.

I thought that Shay was already the limit for guards who couldn't shoot, but I didn't expect that there would be someone even more outrageous than him.

It's really better than the blue.

Of course, Shea also reminded Logo: "Wallace does not need to be selected with draft picks. As long as such a player does not have a brain problem, no one will call him. So, when the time comes, we can just pick what is ready."

Logo looked at Shay speechlessly: "Then why do you think he can become a talent?"

"Is there a possibility that although he doesn't have any skills as a defender, he is as strong as an ox and can play center?"

"A center less than 2 meters tall? Shay, you are still so funny."

"Jerry, when looking at a man, don't just focus on the length! Hardness is also important!"

Logo smiled and shook his head, writing down all the names Shay said.

In addition to these people, Logo actually has another candidate in mind.

It's the spokesperson signed by Shay, Steak Byrne!

Logo can see that this kid has the potential to become a star.

Besides, if his good brother Elgin Baylor doesn't like someone, then he needs to focus more on it!

Even Baylor doesn't like it, but the success rate is as high as 90%!

However, Logo also received news that because Shea signed him as a spokesperson, several high-ranking teams are now interested in the high school student and have fully evaluated him.

They are all very likely to take a risk on a 17-year-old kid with a high pick.

Since the Lakers have a lower pick, they don't have much leverage.

So whether we can draft that kid or not, we can only leave it to chance, and we can only hope that the teams with high picks are collectively blind.

And when Logo was still planning to miss out in the draft, a team with a higher pick was already 60% sure to select Kobe!

Moreover, this is only part of their revival plan.

If the plan comes true, then in the summer of 1996, they will drop a blockbuster!

The enemies in front of us have not yet been defeated, but new powerful enemies are already being nurtured.
