Still too young, the popular Tanhua refused to lose the finals in the trial training, the Rockets may take the opportunity to find a bargain to complete the reinforcement

For the Rockets, which had already won 52 regular season games last season, the upcoming draft should have nothing to do with them, especially those high-potential lottery shows. However, in a deal last year with Stone, the Rockets won the first round pick in the Suns in 25, 27 and 29 years, and this year's draft pick is the tenth pick.

Before this, the Rockets mainly wanted to trade the 10-pick pick in their hands and get a star player who can provide instant combat power. For example, they added this first-round 10-pick pick in the trading quotes for Durant. However, as the draft continues to approach, the Rockets are likely to do something else with this draft pick.

The Rockets' lineup is actually very obvious now, that is, their backcourt scoring ability and outside shooting ability are weak, and their offensive firepower cannot match their opponents. This is also the main reason why they lost to the Warriors in the playoffs. Among this rookie, defenders who can meet the Rockets' requirements, such as Trae Johnson, VJ Edgecom, have all been predicted by the 5th pick, and the Rockets cannot choose.

However, recently, a piece of news may rekindle hope for the Rockets, that is, Ace Bailey, who has been predicted to be a popular one in Tanhua, has declined a lot because he refuses to participate in trials for multiple teams. In previous joint trials, Es Bailey was affected by the severe shrinking height.

In the official data of the university, Espee has always been registered at 2.08 meters, but during the joint trial, his bare feet are only 2.01 meters. This gap makes many teams believe that after entering the NBA, he is likely to be able to become a swingman in the 2-3 position and is unable to compete for the power forward position.

At the same time, Es Bailey has not visited any team, nor has he participated in joint trials, and even the Hornets (4th pick in the first round) and Jazz (5th pick in the first round) have not agreed. According to his agent team, they are confident that Es Bailey will be selected in the first round top three picks, so it is very likely that Bailey will only try out for one team in Philadelphia.

It is also because of this that on the latest ESPN draft simulation list, Espeley has dropped to the 6th pick in the first round. The 19-year-old star, born in 2006, averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks per game in his freshman season.

If the Rockets want to participate in this draft, this may be a good opportunity to get bargains. Some media suggest that the Rockets discuss a deal with the Wizards. If Espee, the sixth pick in the first round, has not been selected, then the Rockets can use their own 10-pick to sign + a young player like Whitmore to package the trade of the Wizards' sixth pick, so as to get Bailey.

The Rockets have made similar transactions before. At the 21st draft, they used 2 taels of future first-round draft picks to trade with the Thunder to get a 16-pick pick, and won MVP El Peren Shin-kyung from the Turkish Super League. In his fourth season of Shin-kyung's career, he has become an All-Star player.

In contrast, although Pele's height did not meet expectations, it happened to be one of the team's choices for the next No. 2 position. During college, Pele was famous for his excellent shooting skills. The draft templates given by many media were excellent strikers such as McGrady and Brandon Miller. At the same time, Pele's comprehensive defensive skills can ensure that he will make contributions in a short time after joining the team.

So, instead of giving up a large amount of resources to get an All-Star, the Rockets might as well maintain the main lineup that had already entered the playoffs last season, and at the same time use the excess assets in their hands to optimize future potential. Even if they cannot reach the championship level in the last 1 or 2 seasons, as players such as Amen and Shin Kyung continue to grow, the team is very likely to replicate the Thunder's success path in the future.
