But these aren't the main reasons Roger is watching the draft. Roger is paying attention to the 2003 NBA draft because of the fourth pick.
This year's fourth pick has changed, it's no longer the Toronto Raptors, but the New York Knicks.
Last season, although the Knicks got Yao Ming as their top pick, relying on Yao Ming to transform the team in his rookie year was clearly unrealistic.
In fact, the Knicks' performance last season was still terrible, the only thing to be thankful for was that Yao Ming showed promising performance after a period of adaptation in the NBA.
This year, the Knicks' goal is to find a good helper for Yao Ming.
Eventually, the New York Knicks chose Dwyane Wade from Marquette University.
Compared to prodigies like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, Wade was not very dazzling before entering the NBA.
