020: Towards a Career Path(2/2)

In the NCAA, Wayne's ability is already strong. As for what to do when he enters the NBA in the future?

Don't worry, Wayne will definitely have upgraded again by then and will be able to continue to improve his abilities.

Speaking of the NBA, Wayne has planned to enter the draft directly after finishing this season!

Although no final decision has been made, the idea has become stronger recently.

At first, Wayne thought about relying on the system to reach the full level in the NCAA before landing in the NBA.

When the time comes, wouldn’t it be nice to become the number one pick and start the superstar mode directly?

But after thinking about it carefully, Wayne found that this idea was not very realistic.

First of all, Tony Allen is a senior and will leave after this season.

By then, the Cowboys will have no one to hug.

As the requirements for growth points required for each upgrade continue to increase, without the humanoid plug-in Tony Allen and relying solely on regular training and games, Wayne would not have improved much even if he reached his senior year.

This time the upgrade requirement is 500,000, and next time, God knows what the astronomical figure will be.

Only by entering the NBA can the growth points gained by Wayne support his need for upgrades.

Secondly, in this era where potential is increasingly valued, not to mention seniors, even sophomores like Wayne will have their draft picks affected.

Just look at how many high school students have been selected in the first round in the past two years, and you will know how much the NBA values ​​potential.

Tim Duncan is always just an exception, because he is the only senior No. 1 pick in the modern history of the NBA.

Moreover, Duncan did not slowly establish his position in four years of college. He was already a candidate for the top pick in high school.

Before entering the NBA, he had been a sparring partner for the Dream Team, and had a lot of back-and-forth with the likes of O'Neal, Barkley, Malone and Robinson.

At that time, Richard Johnson, the head coach of Wofford University, said this to his players: "Let me tell you who you are going to face tomorrow. That is Tim Duncan of Wake Forest University. One day in the future

, your six-year-old kids are going to ask you for a Duncan jersey for Christmas. This is your only chance to play against a future NBA Hall of Famer, the greatest player you'll ever play against."

This shows Duncan's status in the university at that time.

To sum up, Duncan was already well known to everyone when he first entered college and was close to reaching the full level. He did not slowly reach the full level in four years of college.

There is no direct connection between Duncan becoming the No. 1 pick and him playing four years in college.

Because even if Duncan participates in the draft as a freshman or sophomore, he may still be the No. 1 pick.

If he hadn't listened to his mother and promised to complete college, Duncan would never have waited until his senior year to participate in the draft.

And what about Wayne? He is completely transparent now. Even if he reaches his senior year, he will not be treated like Duncan.

Therefore, Wayne really wanted to give it a try this year, because this year was actually his best year.

In the future, when I'm in my junior or senior year, I'm afraid my ranking will be even lower.

At this moment, the system's taskbar responded.

"Optional Mission: Towards a Career.

If the host chooses to participate in the draft, the task can be started. If the host does not participate in the draft, the task will automatically fail.

Mission goal: Enter the first round of the 2004 draft.

Mission reward: Man of Steel badge (diamond), and an A-level lottery package."

Looking at the task prompt, Wayne was shocked.

Diamond? He always thought that the purple badge was the most advanced.

I didn’t expect there was a diamond on it!

The description of the "Man of Steel" badge is: It makes it almost impossible for the host to suffer devastating injuries.

This... smells a bit fragrant!

For Chinese players playing in the NBA, injuries have always been a big problem.

Whether it is Yao Ming or Yi Jianlian in the future, they both left too many regrets in the NBA due to injuries.

Not only Chinese players, but talents such as Oden, Roy, Rose, and Hill have also been eclipsed by injuries.

If Wayne can have this badge, at least he won't follow the same old path as those people.

Wayne swallowed. With such an attractive reward, does it mean he has no choice?

What's more, in addition to this badge, there is also an A-level lottery package.
