After making timely adjustments to the veterans of the rotation team, the Rockets took advantage of a wave of 3 consecutive losses to directly pull the record to the bottom echelon of the league, the current Rockets' record is 20 wins and 58 losses, the same as the Magic record tied for the league's first to last, and because the Pistons have won two consecutive games recently, the Rockets have also expanded their record with the Pistons and thunder, and considering the opponents of the remaining games, the Rockets' record ranking will basically not change, if you look at the current Rockets' record rankings, The 2022 first-round show is predicted to be another draw.
If you can continue to draw the lottery, it shows that the Rockets are still relatively successful this season, first of all, the 4 first-round picks selected in 2021 have basically cashed in their talents, the list of greens is now gaining momentum, the No. 16 show Shen Jing is also getting better and better, the No. 24 show Christopher has improved beyond expectations, only the No. 23 show Garruba looks a little far away because of frequent injuries, but this also gives the 2022 Rockets an opportunity to "correct mistakes" at the draft. Because there are only a few popular players in this rookie, namely Home Green, Smith, and Bancello are all frontcourt players, although Home Green's NCAA team was eliminated as early as the round of 16, but this did not have much impact on his draft, and he is still the most optimistic big hit.
For the Rockets, if they win the lottery, it is most likely to choose between Smith and Bancello, although many people are more optimistic about Smith, but his team was eliminated in the round of 32, and Bancello's Duke reached the top 8 and is also the team that has gone the farthest among the hot rookies. In the earlier Game of Duke against North Carolina, Banchero cut 20 points and 10 rebounds and regretted going out, although he finally failed to lead the team to advance, but this game Bancello showed a strong leadership temperament, almost carrying the team forward, 8 of 17 in the whole game, 4 of 3 points, and also sent 2 assists and 2 blocks, his scoring ability, passing vision and presence on the defensive end, all of which are amazing, so after this game, there are also many Rockets fans who are very optimistic about Bancello.
It is worth mentioning that Bancello has also frequently shown favors for Hugh City recently, he often interacts with Jaylen Green on social media, and expresses support for Porter Jr., seemingly hinting at the desire to be selected by the Rockets. Of course, in terms of position on the court, he is indeed a huge addition to the Rockets' frontcourt.
In addition to the Rockets' first round, the Rockets also have the first round of the 2022 season Nets, which is not the Nets earlier lost to the Hawks this key card slot battle, the team record to 40 wins and 38 losses, fell to the tenth place in the East, in addition to determining that they officially missed the top six in the East, the Nets first round pick also rose from 16 to 13 picks, which is really good news for the Rockets. The Nets have 4 more games to play, the opponents are the Rockets, Knicks, Cavaliers, Pacers, and Irving announced the arrival of Ramadan, during this time he will not eat before sunset, Dragic will be absent for a week because of the new crown, the US media predicts that the Nets may only enter the playoffs 49%, so it is not an easy task for the Nets to improve their record.
