On May 16, the Rockets won the No. 10 draw in the first round in the draft draw ceremony not long ago. Although this pick is not high, it is also a bit different from what everyone thought of as No. 9 draw, in the draft year, you can use No. 10 draw to choose some good rookies.
However, considering that there are already 7 young players in the Rockets' lineup in their early 20s, the Rockets do not seem to have the chance to use this first-round pick to choose a new player - after all, among the seven young players now, some players do not have the chance to play, such as Whitmore and Shepard, who have not entered the rotation lineup this season. So, the playing time of these new players is not enough to allocate. If one more new player is added, the Rockets' lineup will be a bit deformed.
The teams that won the championship have a perfect team age combination: there are both young players, more mid-zodiac players, and many veterans. Only such a lineup has the opportunity to win the championship. Obviously, the Rockets have a little too many young players now. Therefore, trading this No. 10 sign seems to be a good choice.
NBA expert Ryan Diamond also specially posted a message to discuss how the Rockets' first round No. 10 pick should be handled. He believes that the Rockets can either retain this first-round pick and use it to win an excellent rookie in the draft, or trade it directly. However, considering that the Rockets already have many young talented players, the Rockets may get some quotes when they wait for the draft, and then the Rockets will weigh the trade-offs and make the best choice. The Rockets should not have rush to trade this first-round pick.
This expert also believes that the Rockets need to strengthen their shortcomings. For example, the Rockets need to cooperate more closely, which is the main reason why the Rockets lost to the Golden State Warriors 3:4 in the playoffs this season. Using this draft pick in exchange for a scorer seems like a good choice. In addition, the Rockets can also wait patiently for another two years. When 23-year-old Jaylen Green grows into an excellent scorer, the Rockets can strengthen their shortest shortcomings.
Now, Jaylen Green has shown his abilities. If Jaylen Green can turn the situation around in the future playoffs, then the current deal may be risky. That is to say, the Rockets have a full chance to keep Jaylen Green. If Jaylen Green is rashly traded, if he grows into a star in the future, the Rockets will definitely regret it. This first round pick can be saved until before the draft to make a deal.
As for Jaylen Green, the expert still believes that the Rockets should keep Jaylen Green, because after waiting for another two years, Jaylen Green will have a chance to become the core of the Rockets. At least in the regular season this season, Jaylen Green has shown good abilities, but in the playoffs he encountered strict prevention and double-teaming, and it was not his fault that he did not perform well.
