Another newcomer appeared, the Rockets have the potential forward line in the draft simulation list, and a trait is very exciting

Not long ago, ESPN released the latest list of simulated drafts. Compared with the previous rankings, the simulated list has changed a lot, especially now that the draft is about to be officially held, the media has received more and more news, and the accuracy of the list has also improved a lot compared to before.

First of all, the top two on the list are still occupied by Flag and Dylan Harper. People have even determined that these two will be the No. 1 pick and No. 1 pick in this draft. Flag has agreed to meet with Dallas before, and it has also confirmed that he has agreed to play for Dallas, so his No. 1 pick is basically unshakable.

, second-ranked Harper recently posted a photo of himself wearing a Spurs training suit. It is obvious that he is very satisfied with his ability to play for the Spurs, and the Spurs also intend to win another high-potential backcourt player. As for how Fox, Harper and Castle are allocated in the end, the answer from the Spurs management is to read it after the selection!

, and the third pick after that, there has been some change. Es Bailey, who has been ranked third, refused to try out for many teams due to his tough attitude, and the market has fallen to sixth. The positions from third to fifth are occupied by players such as Johnson, VJ, Kong, etc.

, especially the Rockets, which ranked 10th, ESPN has also changed their rookie choices, and from the perspective of future development alone, this may be more reliable than the previous mock draft. Previously, ESPN had always believed that the Rockets would choose a point guard with the 10th pick in the first round, and Yaku has always been the first choice.

It is not difficult to see from Yaku's technical characteristics that although he can serve as the team commander in the pick-and-roll tactics, due to his physical conditions, Yaku's chances of becoming an All-Star are not very good. There is also the point guard Deming, who is more than 2 meters tall, which is not suitable for the Rockets.

In contrast, in this mock draft, ESPN's player Carter Bryant selected for the Rockets may be more in line with the team's future team building direction. People always think that the Rockets are short of manpower in the backcourt, but the Rockets management has always been confident about Shepard, the third pick in the first round in 24 years. They always believe that as long as Shepard adapts to the NBA-level confrontation, his overall view and elite-level projection will bring it to a very good level. So the Rockets don't need to train another backcourt player.

Previously, the Rockets had already settled Adams with a three-year, $39 million contract, and the combination of Shin Kyung and Adams's 5 position has also become fixed. So the Rockets continue to hoard potential front lines, perhaps the most correct thing is to continue to hoard potential. And Carter Bryant, who is only 19 years old and from the University of Arizona, is likely to bring great surprises to the Rockets.

First of all, in terms of physical conditions, Carter Bryant is the top player in this draft. Even if he looks at the NBA, his bounce and explosive power can rank in the front row. Secondly, although he has become a team star in his senior year and senior year, and averaged 22 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game, after entering the University of Arizona, Carter's role as a newcomer is only the team 3D, so even after joining the Rockets, the team does not have to deliberately adjust its tactical style for it.

Throughout his freshman season, Carter averaged 19.3 minutes of playing time, scoring 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, shooting percentage of 47% and 36% from three-point shooting percentage. Moreover, compared with Ethan and Xiao Jia in the team, Carter has a clear advantage in ball control. If growth can meet expectations, then Carter Bryant is very likely to become the next Jaylen Johnson. In this way, the Rockets will not only solve the problem of no one holding the ball at critical moments, but also find a future core team for the team. Such a choice to spend a small amount of money to do big things may be more suitable for a cautious team like the Rockets! What do you think the Rockets use the 10th pick in the first round to choose Carter Bryant? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
