During high school, he didn't even complete a dunk. But now, he has staged a good show of a dark horse counterattack. Who is he? Obi Toping, a sophomore at Dayton University who has just been elected as the best player in CBS America.
Many brothers may only know how to get rid of poverty and don't know how to level. Then let me introduce: Tuoping, who is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 100 kg, is now a big man with outstanding physical fitness and comprehensive offensive skills. Dunk 107 times this season, ranking first in the United States! It is hard to imagine that this is a player who didn't dunk in high school.
In the early days of his high school career, he played mainly as a defender, but after growing to 20 cm tall, he changed to play inside.
So his outside projection is also very stable. In this season's 8 1 3-pointer 32, the hit rate is 39.5%, which is rare among big players. Top can contribute 20 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season. Under his leadership, Dayton University achieved the third good result in the United States!
Next, let's talk about the question that the brothers are most concerned about: When will Obi-Tobin participate in the draft? How is the draft market? Which team is he suitable for?
First of all, Toping will take part in this year's draft. In the previous forecast lists of major draft media, he often appeared in the top five, second only to the potential rising stars such as Wiseman, Sanqiu and anthony edwards. Objectively speaking, this year will be a draft year, and Obitopin is called the strongest player of this year.
As for which team he will be selected, it is still unknown. However, the Warriors are the closest team to him. According to the San Francisco Chronicle reporter Connor Letourneau, the Warriors are not interested in several popular players in next year's draft, and their goal is Obitopin. The Warriors also went to the University of Dayton twice for training and visited the strength rookie.
Why do warriors like this player?
First of all, the insider who can shoot three points is exactly what this team needs. Topin is very suitable for playing in the Warriors system. Secondly, Curry is 32 years old, and it is the time to pursue achievements. There is nothing wrong with choosing the one with the strongest fighting capacity to assist the splash brothers. Finally, from this rookie's point of view, apart from top scholar Wiseman, Toping is the best candidate for a good insider. (with the splash brothers in the back line, you shouldn't choose three goals. )
Therefore, in Diego's view, if the Warriors can't get the No.1 pick, they will probably choose Pinto.
Even if they win the champion, they will not rule out trading the champion right, so that they can not only win the champion, but also choose more players. It all depends on the luck of the warriors.
Then the question is, what are the factors that hinder Top's development in the NBA?
First of all, age, he is 22 years old, an out-and-out older player. At this age, many players shine in the NBA.
Therefore, although he has the strongest fighting capacity in an instant, the upper limit is obviously not as good as that of a player like Wiseman.
The second point is defense. Obitopin is not an excellent defender. For a rookie, defense is the most basic requirement if he wants to gain a foothold in the league. If he is really selected by the Warriors, he obviously won't have too many ball rights.
The last point is the height. 2.06 meters is an embarrassing height, and playing the fifth position is not enough. This may hinder his further development. Warriors have successful experience in training such players. ) But in any case, Obi-Tropin is very likely to be the strongest dark horse in this year's draft! It's hard to imagine that this is a player who was ignored in high school.
