Recently, there have been various news about the selection of the top three of the rookie, but they are all very bad, the generally recognized top three are Smith, Chet and Bancello, and a little more rigorous is to put Smith and Chet in the first echelon, followed by Bancello, then Ive and Murray, and finally the remaining players.
This is the case with the draft youngsters, after all, whether it is Smith or Chet and Bancello, they have their own advantages, even though everyone has their own shortcomings, but compared to other rookies, they are still the best. However, ESPN reporter Jonathan Kivoney recently wrote in the latest mock draft: "In the context of this recognized top three pick, on the surface, the Rockets' third pick is a relatively easy pick. Because the idea of forming the NBA's most explosive backcourt lineup has a strong appeal to Rockets executives, Ivey is also on their radar. ”
However, this is just a smoke bomb, every year before the draft there will be such and such news, for now to confuse and interfere with the judgment of opponents, Givoni this news is just Stone to balance the Thunder. In the past few days, there has been news that the Thunder are more optimistic about Ivey, although this is also a true and false news, but it can not be completely ruled out that the Thunder may really like, after all, Ivey's draft template is regarded as Wei Shao, and Wei Shao once led this team to play a good result. In this way, the Thunder can use the list eye sign to trade the No. 4 sign + head down with the King, the Thunder is as desired, but the Rockets have no benefits, at this time the Rockets released this news is to tell the Thunder, if you really want Ivey, use your list eye sign to take him away, so that the Rockets have two hot frontcourt players to choose from in the third pick.
In the view of draft expert Bobby Marks, the top three of the rookie are still not controversial, he does not think that the Thunder will consider the choice of Ban Kairo, compared to the former, the Thunder will not hesitate to choose Homegren. If the Magic take Homegren off with a pick, the Thunder will choose Jabari Smith Jr. Therefore, the biggest suspense is still who will be the champion and the list, and the Rockets' probe will be a great probability of Bancello, in fact, this is not unacceptable to the Rockets, although he is somewhat criticized on the defensive end, but Banchero can make the Rockets more creative on the offensive end, and his offensive organizational ability can match Jaylen Green, who has explosive conversion scoring ability and shooting creativity. He can also be paired with a more traditional interior player (Shin Kyung) or another interior player (Wood) who focuses on outside offense. In the long run, this fit makes Bancello a great fit for the Rockets.
