However, this year they not only had a 10th overall draft pick but also two second-round picks.
Kupchak felt that if Zhang Yang was still not chosen by then, they could make a move!

After leaving Kupchak with the words, "I only recommended Jack and Andrew to you," Tellem took Zhang Yang and Bynum to the next stop.
Next, the three of them successively went to the Spurs, Warriors, Knicks, Bobcats, and Hornets for tryouts.
During the Spurs and Warriors tryouts, Tellem was quite perfunctory. After the basic tests were over, he took the two away. Both the Spurs and Warriors proposed a second tryout, but Tellem said he was too busy for that.
Zhang Yang asked why, and Tellem explained that going to the Spurs was because of their top-ranked player development capabilities in the league; talented players wouldn't have to worry about not making it there, but it was best to avoid going if possible because the owner was too stingy.
