White Demons ranked second! The media supports the Rockets to give up 5 first-round picks: Jaylen Green ranked first

The White Demon ranked second! With the Rockets' reconstruction completed and the new season is aiming to compete for the championship, the media of the HSR supports the Rockets who think it is just right to give up five first-round picks at the right time, with Jaylen Green at the top of the list.

Fifth place: Garuba

Rockets selected Garuba at the 23rd pick in the first round of 2021, viewing him as the next dream chase Green in training, hoping that he can grow into a top two-way inside.

Garuba also seems to be a young man worth betting on, especially on the defensive end. He can not only deal with the inside, but also switch to the outside. As a result, after a brief bet, the Rockets Stone found that he had bet on the wrong bet and decisively handed him over to the Hawks.

The Rockets sent him away was because there were too many young people in the team needed opportunities. On the other hand, Garuba looked comprehensive in offense and defense, but in fact, they did not reach the passing level on both ends of offense and defense. The all-round selling point became "nothing". After leaving the Rockets, he went to teams such as Hawks, Thunder and Warriors, and then faded out of the NBA and returned to Real Madrid.

4th place: Christopher

21 draft, the Rockets picked Garuba with the 23rd pick and then won Christopher with the 24th pick.

If choosing Garuba can be explained by betting on the all-round offense and defense imagination space, then winning Christopher is more for helping Jaylen Green adapt to the NBA. The two are very good friends.

Facts also prove that Christopher is not an NBA-level player, especially in the context of the large-scale shooting guards in the US basketball world. Therefore, in 23, the Rockets decisively sent it away as part of the deal. He then went to multiple teams and spent most of his time in the Development League.

Third place: Taitai Washington

Rockets selected Taitai Washington with the 29th pick in 22, hoping that it can become one of the team's future backcourt rotations. As a result, this first-round final show performed even more disappointing.

His characteristics are completely different from Christopher, with reliable ball holding and organizational skills. As long as he has the ability to shoot, Tate Washington can at least play a reliable substitute role.

He has no choice but to develop a projection, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 23.4%, which makes him unable to find a suitable position after leaving the Rockets.

Second: White Demon

Compared with the previous three first-round picks, White Demon obviously has better basic talents and was once highly expected by the Rockets.

Even after Uduka joined the rebuilding, the Rockets have been growing and patient with the White Demons in the past two seasons, because he has talent and ability visible to the naked eye on the offensive end.

It's a pity that his playing style is completely inconsistent with Uduka's emphasis on the team's playing style. The White Demon always ranks first in the scoring, and his assist rate of 7.4% is a ball-right black hole. Even so, the Rockets still left the final decency in the transaction. Instead of pursuing the most extreme returns, they sent the White Demon to the Wizards who are most suitable for him.

No doubt, the top position belongs to Jaylen Green. He has been regarded by the Rockets as one of the team's backcourt core and future team building cases for a long time, which is completely different from the situation where the White Magic lacks opportunities.

Even Jaylen Green won a big contract of over 100 million with the Rockets. Unfortunately, Jaylen Green performed poorly after entering the playoffs, and his unstable offensive state made the Rockets give up after going further.

The breakup between the two sides was equally decent enough, the Rockets sent him to the Suns to exchange for Durant, and Jaylen Green gave up a $6.43 million trade margin to help the team make a deal.
