Kapitel 853: Chapter 532: The Longest Vacation_3

The draft lottery's destiny was decided.

After that, Eric Bledsoe was selected by the Miami Heat.

The Supersonics' favored player, Quincy Pondexter, was snapped up by Houston at the 20th pick of the first round.

More surprisingly, Jeremy Lin, previously projected as a mid-second-round prospect, was selected by the Golden State Warriors at the 26th pick of the first round.

The Supersonics' top choices and backups were chosen before it was their turn to pick.

When the draft came to the Supersonics' turn, Presti reluctantly selected Lazar Hayward, a junior Small Forward from Marquette University.

The Supersonics' draft this year hastily concluded against the backdrop of labor disputes.

Presti didn't believe at all that Hayward could help the team in the short term, and the Supersonics needed to strengthen through free agency.

But now he wasn't really sure if they even had a free market, nor could he be certain if the next season would start as scheduled.
