At present, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, but for those rebuilding teams that missed the playoffs in advance, they have already begun to prepare for the upcoming draft, for them, how to pick the favorite players in the draft and plan the blueprint for the future of the team in advance is the top priority.
The season continues to be a mess, with the Rockets having a 14 percent chance of winning the pick
The Houston Rockets, which have achieved only 20 wins and 62 losses this season, the worst record in the league, will have a 14% probability of being able to draw a top pick, a 13.4% probability of drawing a lottery, a 12.7% probability of drawing a poker, and they continue to choose a rotten one this season, that is, they hope to win a young player who can be worth cultivating again in the 2022 NBA draft, and in the current situation that Porter Jr. and Jaylen Green have firmly occupied the core position of the team's backcourt, The rocket's most reinforcing at present is probably its own internal position.
Popular rookie showed favor to the Rockets, whose template was Chris Bosh
Earlier, the US media switch fans posted a photo of the training of popular rookie Jabari Smith in the gym, and wrote that he hoped that Smith could join the Rockets, and then this Twitter content was also reprinted by Smith himself, and it can be seen that Smith also very much hopes to play for such a young team as the Rockets. And who is this Smith? Smith, 19, 2.08 meters tall and 2.16 meters arm span, studied at Auburn University at NCAA, and the draft template was "Dragon King" Chris Bosh. If the Rockets can really select him to supplement their current lack of No. 4 position, the team ushered in a revival, which is indeed just around the corner.
Jabari Smith, who has a five-star high school student rating, is also a "ball second generation", and his father, Jabari Smith, was selected by the Kings with the 16th pick in the second round of the NBA Draft in 2000, and has been transferred to the 76ers and nets, and has not made a name for himself in the NBA, but inherited his father's good sports genes, and Jabari Smith Jr. has a brighter future than his father, and is likely to become the NBA's signature star in the future. Smith, who played for Auburn University last season, averaged 16.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block in 28.8 minutes of playing time, shooting 42.9% from the field, accompanied by a 42% three-point shooting percentage.
The rocket and he are really a perfect match, it depends on whether the heavens can complete this beautiful difference
From this NCAA data sheet, it can be clearly seen that Smith and Bosh do have the same magic, while having a good frame protection ability, but also have a good shooting ability, and just in the NBA that advocates small ball style, it really needs interior players to have projection ability, if he can really join the Rockets, join Potter Jr., Jaylen Green and Wood, the Rockets may really blow up a "youth storm" belonging to Houston next season. At present, this Rocket team just lacks a big man like Smith who has a projection and can open up the offensive space.
At present, Smith's latest simulated draft pick is the second place, that is, the eye of the list, if the Rockets can successfully win the top two picks in the lottery draw, I believe that smith will not hesitate to select Smith, and he himself is also very much looking forward to joining the Rockets, so "two loves", The Sky really wants to give the Rockets and Smith such a chance to complete each other!
