As Adam Xiao Hua's words fell, sighs were clearly heard from the private rooms of NBA teams.
Presti's eyes widened. He had already communicated with the Jazz at the 12th pick, planning to choose Zeng Xingyang, then pick Trey Lyles himself, and trade the rookie along with this year's second-round pick.
Presti thought Zeng Xingyang would be selected around the 10th to 14th pick.
He still underestimated Zeng Xingyang's popularity.
In Nuggets' private room, there were sounds of celebration, with General Manager Connelly and several executives high-fiving.
Connelly had always been afraid that Zeng Xingyang would be snatched up among the top six picks, so they dared not publicly show interest in Zeng Xingyang before the draft, fearing to increase his hype.
Secretly, Connelly even directed the PR department to release news questioning Zeng Xingyang's talent, preferring Mudiay playing in CBA instead.
