Book and Mitchell both had the 13th pick in the first round that year. As Kobe's inheritors, who could win the championship first?

Book was the 13th pick in the first round of 2015. He was 1.96 meters tall and weighed 93 kilograms. He has been playing for the Suns. He averaged 27.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game last season. His three shooting percentages were: 49%, 36%, and 88%, and he led the team to the finals in 2021.

Mitchell was selected by the Jazz at the 13th pick in the first round of 2017. He was 1.85 meters tall and weighed 97 kilograms. He averaged 26.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game last season. His three shooting percentages were: 46%, 36%, and 86%, respectively. He was traded to the Cavaliers in 2022.

Book and Mitchell, as Kobe's 13th pick, are both masters of scoring and have scored 70+ points respectively, shocked the league.

Cavaliers and Mitchell also completed early contract renewal, with a contract of US$105.3 million for three years and US$224 million for five years and US$224 million for the contract, retaining the lineup last season intact, and hiring Atkinson as the new head coach.

Comprehensive strength of the two teams, the Suns have the advantage in paper strength, but they are not enough to win the championship. After all, Durant has suffered a serious injury and is relatively old. Bill has proven to be a "pseudo-giant".

The Cavaliers have stopped in the second round of the Eastern Conference this season. No one knows what they can play next season, but it is really hard for them to break through in the East where strong teams are everywhere.
