今年的选秀日期定在6月23日,作为成绩最差的三支球队之一,火箭将有超过14%的几率抽到状元签,如果能选中贾巴里-史密斯,这支年轻的球队未来的前途将会是一片光明,而且火箭今年拥有的篮网首轮签顺位将有可能在15-18顺位之间,完全可以挑选到一名不错的3D锋线球员。 除了选秀之外,休赛期的交易签约运作也是重建的重要组成部分,要知道,今年夏天火箭不仅有戈登、伍德、小波特、泰特这些优质的到期合同球员,还有众多的未来选秀权。 这意味着他们可以用这些筹码+选秀权去追逐一些大牌球员。
Among the rookies this year, the Rockets' leader Jaylen Green's average score per game has always been in the "First Group". Jaylen Green currently averages 15.6 points per game in 53 games, which is already a pretty good performance among rookies. 相比于赛季初期格林的进步是十分显著的,特别是防守端再也不是人见人欺的角色了.格林绝对是值得火箭培养的新基石球员,下赛季火箭只要能围绕格林+状元史密斯去完成这三笔交易, 那么下赛季反弹指日可待。Jabari Smith, 18 years old, is 2 meters 08 tall, weighs 100 kilograms, can play from three to five on the field, has solid athletic ability, skilled offensive skills, can take care of possession, shooting, rebounding, defense, mid-range, penalty area scoring, outside shooting, both talented, playing style and all-round. 本赛季,贾巴里-史密斯效力于奥本大学,出战的9场比赛,场均可以砍下17.3分,6.9篮板,三分投篮命中率达到44.3%。
Ricky Rubio (Indiana Pacers)
Rubio has played 34 games this season and averaged 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 36.3 percent from the field, and he may not be able to return at the start of next season due to a torn cruciate ligament in December, but the veteran has had a fantastic season with the Cavaliers. Rubio's 2.5 assist-to-turnover ratio and extensive experience can help young defenders grow quickly, and Garland is a good example. 卢比奥在今年夏天将成为不受限制的自由球员,联盟里对他感兴趣的球队可能还是会有一些,火箭如果能把他成功的带回休斯顿,也许会带来大的回报。
PJ Washington (Hornets)
PJ Washington averaged 11 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game this season, shooting 47 percent from the field and 44 percent from three-point range. Washington has gone from a starter to a substitute this season due to Bridges' sudden outburst, and his $7.98 million contract with the Hornets also expires at the end of next season. And the Hornets have always been very interested in getting Wood, so it's not difficult for the Rockets to get him.
Andrew Wiggins (Warriors)
据报道,火箭队在交易截止日曾打电话给勇士队,询问潜在的有关的交易,火箭当时给出的潜在交易筹码正是戈登+伍德。
Wiggins is currently averaging 18.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, including 49.1 percent shooting, ranking 30th in the league, fifth in the small forward position, 42.2 percent in three-point shooting, and third in the small forward, ranking 18th in the league. Averaging 18.7 points per game, he can also rank 34th in the league and 6th in the small forward position. 如果火箭能够得到威金斯对于球队的锋线也是一个不错的选择,而且威金斯的锋线防守也是目前火箭急需的。
最后我要提一下另一位几乎已经被人们忘记了的老将——约翰-沃尔,他几乎肯定不会选择买断合同,他明年的薪水是4700万美元,对他我完全没办法,祝福火箭能找到最适合的解决方法。
