Time flies, the years fly by, and before you know it, 2022 is coming to May; the NBA has entered the second round of the playoffs, and this morning, the Celtics bloodied the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, avenging a shot, while the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Golden State Warriors to equalize.
However, for some teams that do not qualify for the playoffs, they don't have much heart to watch the game, after all, there are more important things waiting for them to deal with; unfortunately, after sending off James Harden, the much-loved Houston Rockets are in the rebuilding phase. Although Wood, Tate, Matthews were tapped from the free market, and Jaylen Green, Garruba, Shinkin, Christopher and Martin Jr. were taken from the draft, unfortunately, there was not much change in the big picture.
It takes a certain amount of time for young people to grow and gain experience, so the Rockets have always lost more than they have won in the past two seasons. A lot of times in addition to losing, it's still losing, and most of the time it's always last in the West. However, Silas's team is not useless, at least porter Jr., Jaylen Green, Shen jing, Christopher, Garuba and other young players have performed well in some games and show great potential.
And the swing isn't without its benefits, at least they have a 40 percent chance of reaching the top three picks, and the team has multiple first-round picks, making Stone's operations more flexible. Not to mention, Jaylen Green has shown star potential, and it's hard not to be optimistic about the future of Space City when you imagine another top genius around him, so Stone has been working hard to turn that vision into reality. According to NBA famous journalist Kelly Lko, insiders revealed that the Rockets are going to run a big deal, Morant parachuted into Houston; except for Jaylen Green, Stone will send any chips.
1.91m Morant, with an arm span of 2.01m, is a long-armed monster. At the same time, his jump height reached 112 cm. Morant is a gifted rookie who has been in the league for three years and earned the nickname "King of the Waist." Morant's belly is very good, and he often dodges opponents' covers in the air and then gets on the basket, or takes off from a high altitude to complete a flat-frame dunk. Although he has not reached the level of James and Durant, his talent is exactly what the Houston Rockets need, and he can help the "Texas Junior" return to the top.
