If no miracle happens, the Rockets will only have one first-round pick this year, and they are currently expected to be the ninth pick. Then before the start of the draft, the Rockets management should actively prepare, through joint tryouts and a series of observations, to decide who is the best option for the team.
Jonathan Fagan, who is a reporter for the Rockets, wrote a long article in which he listed the potential targets of the Rockets' rookie class, which may be one of the six in terms of Nets signing, and they are basically outside shooters, which shows that like most fans, Jonathan Fagan is well aware of the Rockets' problems, and Houston urgently needs to improve his outside projection.
Stephen Castle is the first to bear the brunt, his name has been associated with the Rockets several times, even if Tari Eason returns next season, the Rockets have plenty of personnel at the forward position, and Amen Thompson is also a versatile player, but it is clear that Stephen Castle has both offense and defense to give the Rockets more tactical changes. Cody Williams is from the University of Colorado, he has improved a lot this season, and as the second leader of the Thunder, Jalen Williams brother, he has also taken on a lot of expectations, although Cody Williams is more of a blank, but the growth and upside should still be a lot.
The name Ron Holland is naturally familiar to friends who often follow the draft, but skipping the NCAA college league this season and going straight to the Development League to ignite the team could be a wrong choice for Ron Holland, where players are prone to bad habits and Ron Holland seems a little inefficient. As for Dalton Knechter, the sharpshooter from the University of Tennessee, he can effectively solve the current problem of the Rockets' lack of offensive space and the lack of three-point shooting from the outside.
Isaiah Collier, as the former No. 1 high school student in the United States, went to the University of Southern California this season, and he averaged 16.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game, but he needs to control his mistakes and carefully hone his skills, which is indeed a little too rough now. Jacoby Walter has received a lot of attention because of this name, but in fact, the swingman from Baylor University is also not to be underestimated, and this season Jacoby Walter is averaging 14.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game, and he may also be the strongest defensive player among these shooters.
