New York, USA – Last night, NBA gists scatter as players wey dem never expect shine for draft. From Cooper Flagg to Ace Bailey, e be like say the whole basketball world don turn upside down! Na this one we dey talk about as teams make big moves and fans dey nod their heads like say dem sabi wetin dem dey do.
First of all, make we reason say Cooper Flagg, the Duke star, shine bright like diamond as he land the No. 1 pick for Dallas Mavericks! Dey call am future superstar, and if him legs no break, na him go carry Mavs waka far this season. As dem dey chop palmwine for Brooklyn, fans for Dallas dey jolly dey go, dem don get dem point guard sorted! (E be like say dem expect make him score plenty points na.)
Meanwhile, we see Ace Bailey surprise everyone as he take the No. 5 pick for Utah Jazz, even though him no fit see that one coming. Na wah! How you wan reject teams wey you sabi dey like you? But we dey feel am, na basketball be dis. If NBA draft be movie, make we talk say some characters don enter studio without script. Bailey even talk say he go control wetin him fit control! (Who no go like to get power for wetin dem dey do?)
Another twist wey scatter arena na when Phoenix Suns snatch Khaman Maluach from Duke as No. 10 pick. E go help dem pluck defense wey dem dey lack last season. (And bonus wey no go dey stressful for the team since na young fresh blood dem dey add.) As Coach na prepare him side to conquer, we no go hear gossip again if him land well.
But wetin we go call them Mississippi-based Pelicans wey trade up just to grab Jeremiah Fears for No. 13? If dem dey take chances like this one, e mean say dem dey put dem destiny for rain. Fans fit dey high spirit, but e fit turn rainy season if no be wetin dem foresee. (Na risk be this one, brothers and sisters.)
And make we not forget the shocking news from Atlanta Hawks wey suddenly trade with New Orleans for dem future picks. Na wetin dem dey do for night market? As dem fit get better pick next year, na wah! Folks dey wonder how smart this move go fit pay off for dem long run. (At least we suppose keep dey check their receipts!).
The whole initiation dey get wef, and as the second round dey enter later today, e go clear if these rookies go fit live up to the hype or dem go just vanish like smoke. (Nobody sabi wetin NBA dey bring. Na just chance.) So, make we grab our popcorn, sit down and enjoy the second round, abeg! E no dey easy to watch basketball, o.
