On May 16, the NBA playoffs are still underway, and the remaining eight teams are still competing for the final promotion spot. At the same time, for some teams that went out early, it is time to start working in the draft and trade market, ready to improve their roster. The Rockets used the Nets to get a scout pick in this year's lottery to select a suitable player in the draft, and they can also use this pick to trade and upgrade the team's roster. How should the Rockets select rookies, and what aspects of the roster still need to be upgraded? Recently, the American media has also given a lot of suggestions, let's take a closer look.
First of all, in terms of drafts, The Athletic draft expert Sam Vecenie recently released the latest mock draft, he predicted that the Hawks will use the top pick to draft French center Alex Sarr, the Wizards will use the roster to pick Serbian guard Topic, and the Rockets will use the scout pick to get the University of Connecticut two-time champion center Klingen. Unlike others who predicted that the Rockets would choose a point guard, he believes the Rockets should choose a high-pick center. Klingen is 2.18m tall and is a defensive blue-collar center like Gobert, the heart of a team's defense, and there is no doubt that this type of player is Udoka's favorite.
In addition, the American media B/R also supported the Rockets' trade this summer, and the author Andy Bailey posted that the Rockets need to increase their projection, and they can trade to the Grizzlies' shooter Luke Kennard, and the chips sent are Tate and Landale. His reasoning is that the Rockets only ranked 24th in scoring and 23rd in three-point shooting percentage last season, and they need a full-time space shooter who can give Green and Amen better space to break through, and can also make Shen Jing's low-post offense less packed. The Rockets' Tate didn't have playing time left, and Landale played well late in the season, but Adams, who was better at rim protection than him, is coming back.
In fact, carefully combing through these two reinforcement plans for rockets, there is no doubt that the direction is right. The biggest problem with the Rockets' roster is the interior rim guard and the outside shooter. Shen Jing is strong in attack and weak in defense, Adams is also old after recovering from a major injury, and if Tanhua is selected as a striker this year, it means that Shen Jing's status in the future will decline. At the same time, the three-point shooting of the Rockets' six sons is indeed unstable, and if they want to maximize their power, they do need to find some veteran shooters to assist. At the same time, if you choose a defensive center this year and add shooters, then the core of the Rockets' team may be biased towards Green, do you think the Rockets should do this? Welcome to discuss!
