繼續更新雷霆隊試訓待選新秀的消息－先前貼文已整理試訓過的21位待選新秀後，再增加5位：

Justin Champagnie：7/15到雷霆隊試訓。這位20歲的得分後衛有得分手段，但有出手選擇的問題，預期選秀落點在第二輪到落選之間。

Nah’Shon Hyland：7/19到雷霆隊試訓，這位攻擊型控衛被認為也有機會練出防守，預期選秀落點在第一輪中後段到第二輪前段。

Feron Hunt：很像以往雷霆隊會喜歡的球員類型，有出色體能、能防守，但進攻端不太行，去年本來想參加選秀，但又回學校再打一年。預期選秀落點在第二輪。

Neemias Quetta：預定7/26到雷霆隊試訓，有機會成為第二輪選秀的禁區防守大將，也有可能成為第一位打進NBA的葡萄牙籍球員。

Moses Moody：7/20到雷霆隊試訓，有可能發展成水準以上的3D球員，在本屆待選新秀算是tier 2，預期選秀順位在第一輪中段，但也有不少樂透球隊可能選他的風聲 - 包括雷霆隊。

Jonathan Kuminga：本來的top 5評價從打G league開始至今掉了不少，已經變成top 6，甚至有第8、9的傳聞。主要原因就是還太粗糙的球技，很需要充分的耐心與養成，而防守端可能兌現的比進攻端快。雷霆似乎是在幾支球隊同場的半公開試訓看Kuminga。

雷霆隊先前已試訓過誰？

依據SBNation的Clemente Almanza整理，雷霆球團目前至少已經面談19位本屆選秀會的待選新秀，包括在NBA官方試訓中創下48吋垂直起跳紀錄的Keon Johnson－這位來自田納西州大、這篇貼文配圖的得分後衛。

雷霆隊在本屆選秀會有3個首輪、3個次輪選秀權，大家都心裡有數知道球團不會全部用來自選，一方面球員名單額度有限，二方面可能都預期會有打包選秀權的交易發生。

即使先不考慮雷霆隊會選幾位，或是否正在運作有關選秀權的交易，他們也跟各隊一樣，陸續面談了非常多的待選新秀－畢竟這是未來幾年內，球團能跟這位新秀正式接觸的極少數機會。

依照時間順序，雷霆隊先後面試了：

*Chris Duarte：得分後衛；與雷霆隊在官方試訓前就面談；Duarte的可能選秀落點在首輪中後段。

*Jordan Hall：與雷霆隊在官方試訓前一周(6/16)面談，但Hall近日已經宣布放棄選秀會，繼續回到學校打球。

*Isaiah Todd：大前鋒；與雷霆隊在官方試訓期間(6/24)面談；Todd是2020年的全美頂級高中生，選擇不進大學，在G league引燃隊打球。他的可能選秀落點在第二輪。

*Sharife Cooper：控球後衛；與雷霆隊在官方試訓期間(6/24)面談；Cooper的可能選秀落點在首輪中後段。

*Trey Murphy III：前鋒；與雷霆隊在官方試訓期間(6/24)面談；Murphy的可能選秀落點在第二輪。

*Jalen Johnson：前鋒；與雷霆隊在官方試訓期間(6/25)面談；三位待選的Jalen(還有Green跟Suggs)本來都是熱門新秀，但Johnson最近的狀況讓他的選秀落點下滑，但可能還不至於滑到首輪中段。

*Keon Johnson：得分後衛；Johnson在NBA官方試訓中創下48吋垂直起跳紀錄，讓小枚不由得聯想到雷霆前同學Hamidou Diallo，同樣具頂級運動能力，與還很粗糙的技術。Johnson的可能選秀落點在樂透後段。

*Sandro Mamukelashvili：中鋒；Mamukelashvili的可能選秀落點在首輪後段到第二輪之間。

*Austin Reaves：後衛；與雷霆隊在官方試訓期間(6/25)面談；Reaves的可能選秀落點在第二輪。

*Matthew Hurt：射手型前鋒；與雷霆隊在官方試訓期間(6/25)面談；Reaves的可能選秀落點在第二輪。

*Josh Primo：得分後衛；與雷霆隊在6/30面談；Primo是加拿大人，是Shai Gilgeous-Alexander與Luguentz Dort未來可能的國家隊隊友，他的可能選秀落點在樂透後段。

*Corey Kispert：前鋒；Kispert的可能選秀落點在樂透中後段。

*Aamir Simms：前鋒；Simms的可能選秀落點在第二輪。

*Ayo Dosunmu：後衛；與雷霆隊在7/2面談；Dosunmo的可能選秀落點在首輪中後段。

*Vrenz Bleijenbergh：前鋒；與雷霆隊在7/4面談；Bleijenbergh被認為有Aleksej Pokusevski的樣子－意思是體型瘦長且球技還很待磨練。

*EJ Onu：中鋒；與雷霆隊在7/5面談；Onu的可能選秀落點在第二輪。

*Tre Mann：雙能後衛；與雷霆隊面談時間在最近一周內；Mann的可能選秀落點在首輪中段。

*Brandon Rachal：得分後衛；與雷霆隊在7/8面談。

*Carlik Jones：控球後衛：與雷霆隊在7/9面談；Jones的可能選秀落點在第二輪。

...老實說幾乎全部都很陌生XD 但我猜，這裡面應該會有1位真的被雷霆隊選中吧(笑)

Allen Iverson took plenty of shots at his former team, before, during and after the game. It didn't add up to a win, though.

Kyle Korver scored 26 points to help the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Denver Nuggets 108-97 Tuesday night in Iverson's first game against his former team.

It was weird to see him wearing a white jersey and we're wearing black," Korver said. "I said to one of our coaches that it is so weird to see him on the other side. It wasn't really a good feeling at all. He's a great player and he meant a lot to Philadelphia."


Iverson scored 30 points on 10-of-24 shooting before getting tossed for his second technical with 1:44 remaining. Afterward, he said the loss disappointed him because he feels the Nuggets are the better team.

Iverson's best shots, however, came before tip-off when he again ripped the team that traded him to Denver over the holidays, repeating his contention that he should have had more say in the Sixers' style.

Iverson also saved a parting shot for official Steve Javie, who ejected him.

"I thought I got fouled on that play, and I said I thought that he was calling the game personal, and he threw me out," Iverson said. "His fuse is real short anyway, and I should have known that I couldn't say anything anyway. It's been something personal with me and him since I got in the league. This was just the perfect game for him to try and make me look bad."

Actually, Iverson didn't need much help in that regard as he was slow to get going, hitting just two of nine shots and committing three of his game-high seven turnovers in the first quarter.

"I thought he was a little excited with the turnovers early in the first half and then not being able to make shots, not only he but everybody," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "That got Philadelphia their legs, their confidence."

Ironically, Iverson found himself crediting the Sixers for their game plan.

"I couldn't get a rhythm in the beginning of the game. When I found it and got into a little groove, it was too late," Iverson said. "If anybody knows what I can do, they know, and they ran some people at me. They used the zone, and it was effective."

The Sixers, who had lost 14 of 16 road games and 19 of their last 23 overall, scored 100 points for the first time in 16 games and improved to 4-4 since the trade that sent Joe Smith and Andre Miller to Philadelphia, along with two first-round draft picks in 2007, for Iverson.

Miller had 17 points and 10 assists against his former team and Smith scored 12 points.

"This was all business," Smith said.

Ditto for Miller.

"I got a lump in my throat when the crowd reacted" with applause during introductions, Miller said. "Other than that, it was all business for me."

Karl always counted Miller among his favorite pupils and said he "kind of knew Andre was going to have a great game. He's going to make some guys on that team a lot better. I can see he and Korver already have a connection."

Iverson doesn't have that yet in Denver, where he's lost four of six and has yet to play with NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith, the league's top scoring tandem before their suspensions for slugging it out with the New York Knicks last month.

The Sixers, who led by 19 in the second quarter before the Nuggets rallied to tie it at 52 at halftime, led 86-73 after three quarters.

Iverson's seven straight points brought Denver to 86-80 but Steven Hunter's dunk followed by three free throws by Korver -- one on Iverson's first technical -- restored Philadelphia's double-digit lead.

Rookie Yakhouba Diawara was the only bright spot for Denver, scoring a season-best 23 points on the heels of an 0-for-11 shooting performance against Dallas.

After the morning shootaround, Iverson said he felt a player of his stature and tenure should have been listened to when he criticized the Sixers' style of play last month, a condemnation that led to his departure from Philadelphia after 10 tumultuous seasons.

"When you're losing basketball games, 12 of 14, 18 of 20 basketball games, you should listen to somebody because something obviously isn't working," he said.

Iverson said he was still bitter with the way Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks and team owner Billy King handled his complaints that led to his departure from Philadelphia.

"Honestly I hope it goes away, but every time we play the Sixers, I know it is going to come back," Iverson said. "I just want to be a Denver Nugget and not dwell on things that happened in Philadelphia. I owe it to my teammates to just play basketball. I was frustrated tonight because I didn't play as well as I can play."

Game notes
Iverson won't get to face the Sixers in Philadelphia this season because the Nuggets made their annual trip there before the trade. ... Nuggets G Julius Hodge played the final minute, his first action since being shot in a drive-by last April.
