As the NBA season draws to a close, many Rockets fans have turned their attention to the NCAA arena, after all, the Rockets are now the first in the league, although there are still several regular season games that have not been played, but this will not have much impact on the team's final ranking, if the final ranking of the league is retained, then the Rockets in the 2022 draw conference is the fifth pick in the bottom draw, and the probability of winning the top three picks is as high as 40.1%, the chance of the Rockets getting the top three picks is still very large.
Among them, the top 5 popular rookies given by the US media are Chet, Smith, Bancello, Ivy, Murray, and among these 5 rookies, Smith's team failed to advance to the round of 16 and was eliminated in the last round; and in the game that ended today, Chet's Gonzaga was also eliminated, of which Chet personally handed over 11 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, shooting 9 of 5, 3 of 3, and 5 fouls; in another game, Bancello's Duke successfully defeated the opponent to advance to the top 8. It can be said that in this game, Duke was able to advance entirely by Bancello carrying the team forward, and when the team needed to score many times, he stood up to score and gave the opponent a response, and finally Bancello slashed 22+ 4 + 4 to lead the team to advance, and also sent 3 steals in the whole game, including 7 of 12 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws.
From the results achieved by the team to the personal play on the court, there is no doubt that Bancello has won more attention, so many Rockets fans believe that If Hugh City has the advantage of signing, it should choose Bancello in the draft. In theory, Bancello is indeed a good fit for the Rockets, he is a 2.08-meter tall black big forward, can make up for the Rockets' forwardcourt height disadvantage, but also because he has the ability to shoot outside the line, has a strong 3D attribute. But even if Bancello leads the team to advance, this may not affect the Rockets' decision-making in the draft, because compared to Chet, the latter is more suitable for the Rockets' lineup.
First of all, the rocket has made it clear that Tate is part of the future of the rocket, and there is martin Jr. on the flank, if you count the 2.08-meter-tall Shen Jing, the rocket needs to be reinforced at the No. 5 position. Although Chet was not able to lead the team to the top 8, his ability in previous games was enough to prove that he was an interior lineman worth cultivating, he had excellent height and arm span, and also had the ability to shoot outside the line, which could perfectly adapt to modern basketball, although he was thin and weak, but there was a strong deterrent on the defensive end, and the Rockets urgently needed such an inside player to help the team improve further.
It is also worth mentioning that Chet does not need more ball rights than Bancello, to know that the Rockets already have a backcourt where Green needs a lot of balls, if you get a Bancello who needs to eat a lot of ball rights, the two are almost impossible to be compatible on the court, unless there is a person who is willing to make sacrifices, but also has the potential of this superstar, who will make concessions. Compared to Chet, he is more like a blue-collar interior lineman, able to be compatible with the team's Green, and even Shen Jing, so as far as this rookie is concerned, if the Rockets are lucky enough to draw the first draft, Chet must be the first choice.
