The Houston Rockets played the New Orleans Pelicans again, and despite the backcourt duo Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. playing well, the Rockets were unable to win. Of course, at this point in time, the Rockets' attention has been put on the draft, and in addition to Victor Venbanyama, there are several popular rookies who are also the focus of the Rockets' investigation.
Due to Scott Henderson's mediocre performance in the Development League, the battle for the top spot seems to be confusing and intensifying. More and more media and fans are now favoring the Rockets to choose Brandon Miller, a forward from the University of Alabama who was named the SEC's Most Valuable Player award this season. According to statistics, all players who won this award and eventually entered the NBA have almost no parallel goods, which shows that the gold content of this award is very high.
Two of the players who came to the NBA and became superstars, starting with Shaquille O'Neal, who won the award two years in a row. Shaquille O'Neal entered the league and quickly realized all his talents, winning many accolades early in his career. After joining the Lakers, Shaquille O'Neal reached the peak of his career, leading the Lakers to three consecutive championships and becoming the only player since Michael Jordan to win the Finals MVP award for three consecutive years.
"Thick Eyebrows" Anthony Davis from Kentucky, won the SEC Division MVP award in the 11-12 season, and then was selected as the top pick in 2012. Although Anthony Davis was often plagued by injuries after entering the league, as long as he was healthy, Anthony Davis was one of the top players in the league, and he also helped the Lakers regain the championship as a second-in-command in the 19-20 season.
John Wall, also from Kentucky and briefly with the Rockets, won the division's Most Valuable Player award in the 09-10 season and also became a top pick. John Wall may have a slightly worse honor than Shaquille O'Neal and Anthony Davis, but John Wall was the league's No. 1 point guard at his peak before suffering a serious Achilles tendon tear. In addition, the players who won this award, including Brandon Bass, Chandler Parsons, Bobby Portis and Grant Williams, basically shows that the future development of players who can win this award will not be too bad, and it is very safe to choose Brandon Miller.
