For the Rockets, the 23-24 season is not too good, not too bad season, judging from the results, this is a not very good season, at the beginning of the season, the city at a premium to introduce VanVleet, Dillon, Green and other instant combat power, while ignoring the previous suspicions to let Udoka into the main team, the result is still not the playoffs, but from the process, this is not a not too bad season, the Rockets have been rotten for many seasons to establish an iron-blooded culture, completely get rid of the fish belly positioning, and a group of young players have also made great progress.

For better or for worse, the Rockets' '23-24 season is over, and the next thing to do is to put all their energy into the offseason, and the first thing to do is pick a rookie.

The Rockets are likely to keep their first-round pick and are sure to get a first-round pick from the Nets, at least one in the lotto area.

Even if 2024 is recognized as a small year, there are still some rookies worth looking forward to by the Rockets, and the Houston-based media "SpaceCityScoop" combined with the Rockets' internal reinforcement needs, listed the five major center candidates that the Rockets can choose in the first round, among which Xiao Yao Ming was selected for pressing the line and Wenban won the championship.

5th place: Zac Eddie

Zac Eddie, alias Zhou Zhihao, is a Chinese-Canadian player, due to various factors such as height, playing style and appearance, Zhou Zhihao was praised as "Little Yao Ming" by some media and fans.

He participated in the draft last year, but eventually chose to quit because of the poor draft prospects, and due to the fact that 24 is a recognized small year, and Zhou Zhihao showed absolute dominance in the NCAA crazy three, his current predicted prospect is the lottery zone.

He has the size the Rockets need, as well as a decent basketball IQ and terrifying interior finishing efficiency, and the Rockets could consider betting on him to replace Boban or even Landale.

4th place: Yves Missy

Compared with the traditional Zhou Zhihao, Yves Missy is more in line with the requirements of the small-ball era, with excellent mobility, explosiveness and switching ability, and is expected to become Shen Jing's replacement.

If Shin Kyung can develop a consistent three-point shooting, and the two even have the opportunity to play at the same time, Udoka has been hoping to solve Shin Kyung's defensive shortcomings through the twin tower model.

Yves Missy's shortcomings are mainly due to his lack of experience, he is still a piece of jade, all his skills are very rough, he lacks consistent projection, and he is a little short in height, the good news is that his pick prediction is not high, the Rockets can trade down for some other returns, and if Houston has patience, Yves Missey will be a good candidate.

3rd place: Klingen

Klingen is a more compromise option than the first two, with the height, finishing and dueling of the No. 5 position.

The defensive end is not as good as Yves Missy, but the defensive range and footwork are good, and the offensive end relies on height to have a good interior finishing efficiency.

The shortcoming is that he is relatively lacking in offensive means, has no reliable projection ability, and the ceiling of talent is not high enough, but fortunately, his mental attributes are good, and if he is positioned as a blue-collar player, he may be a good substitute insider.

2nd place: Kylwell

Kylewell is a tall, athletic, flexible, and well-rounded big man who not only has a sharp nose for finishing under the basket and low post skills on the offensive end, but also has a certain three-point threat.

In today's small-ball era, it seems that no team would refuse such a center who can defend, have space and can also control the ball.

The problem is that his confrontation ability is seriously lacking, coupled with the low ceiling, Kelwell's overall pick is not well estimated, which is good news for the Rockets, who can trade down for more chips.

1st place: Alex Sal

Not only is Sarr number one on the list, but also a 24-time top pick, and as a native of Wembanyama, the 18-year-old has the same top-tier defensive impact as his fellow countryman.

At the same time, Sarr has shown some potential in passing, outside shooting and finishing under the basket, giving people unlimited room for imagination.

If the Rockets are lucky enough to get the No. 1 pick, or have a chance to trade upwards for the No. 1 pick, then Sarr would be one of the best options.
