Who should I choose if I don’t trade and sell the No. 10 sign in the Rockets? The US media "clutchpoints" showed three major candidates, "Black Shin-kyung" Derek Quinn was selected strongly. The Sept. media "spacecityscoop" posted a message to support it, and the "Little Gidi" Yakusionis Rockets won the No. 10 pick. This season, the Rockets not only won the second place in the West to return to the playoffs, but also achieved another success in trading bets.

Before the start of the season, the Rockets chose Adult Beauty to send the Nets back in 25 years + 26 years, in exchange for 3 first round picks + one first round swap. The deal was once widely criticized because the Nets were about to enter the reconstruction phase and the first round pick value was significantly higher. As a result, the Rockets' bet was successful. The Suns, which owned the Big Three, missed the playoffs. The first round pick in 25 years finally became the 10th pick in the US media.

As the Rockets have finished their reconstruction, this season has exposed the shortcomings of lacking key scorers in the playoffs. In addition, they have been involved in trading rumors with superstars such as Durant and Antetokounmpo. The No. 10 pick in the Rockets is likely to be sent away as part of the introduction of superstars. Especially considering the 25-year recognized draft year, the value of the No. 10 signing is also high. But whether the Rockets make a deal or not, they need to make two preparations, so the US media also gave three candidates for the No. 10 draft picks.

·Target Three: Derek Quinn (center). Data: 16 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals, 1 block. Quinn has won the reputation of "Hye Shin-kyung" with his all-round offensive skills. He is a relatively short inside player, but his physical ability to fight against each other is excellent and his offensive end is comprehensive enough, and he has multiple ending methods. The most important thing is that Quinn not only has reliable ball-holding and ball-holding skills, but also has a positive game impact without the ball.

Considering that Adams faces contract renewal in the offseason, if Adams leaves, the Rockets need to introduce another insider to continue the double tower strategy. Even if Adams stays, considering the future salary space, it is a good choice to deploy an insider in advance.

·Target 2: Boyles (4/5). Data: 16.8 points, 8.2 rebounds (2.2 frontcourt rebounds), 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.3 blocks. If the Rockets determine to strengthen the inside, then Boyles will also be a good choice. His template is the Warriors' Dream Chasing Green.

As an inside swinger, Boyles is a tough player like Zhu Meng. Not only is he very good at making decisions on the court, but he is also very athletic. Even though he is a little short, he is flexible and has no fear of switching defenses. More importantly, he has good combat power, which is in line with the Rockets' strategy to win in the present.

Goal 1: Yakujonis (Defender). Data: 15.9 points, 5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.2 steals. Compared with the inside Rockets' back line, the Rockets obviously needs more reinforcement, especially when Shepard's growth is not ideal. Unlike the short Shepard, Yakucionis is a typical tall European point guard. The natural stadium general has a very high basketball IQ. The more reliable template given by the US media is Gidedi, who is also a tall defender.

Therefore, the retired media "spacecityscoop" is also very optimistic about the 19-year-old star, betting on this tall point guard with unlimited future potential if the Rockets do not send away the No. 10 sign through the trade.
