If there is no trade, who will the Rockets choose to pick the 10th pick? US media showed three major candidates: "Black Shenjing" was selected strongly

If you don’t trade and sell it, who should you choose the No. 10 sign in the Rockets? The US media "clutchpoints" showed three major candidates, "black Shenjing" Derek Quinn was selected strongly, and the retired media "spacecityscoop" posted a post to support "Little Gideonis" Yakucionis.

The Rockets won the No. 10 pick

This season, the Rockets not only won the second place in the Western Conference to return to the playoffs, but also achieved another success in trading betting.

Before the start of the season, the Rockets chose Adult Beauty to send the Nets' 25-year swap + 26-year first round back in exchange for 3 first round picks + one first round swap.

This deal was once widely criticized because the Nets were about to enter the reconstruction stage and the first round pick was significantly more valuable. As a result, the Rockets' bet was successful. The Suns, which owned the Big Three, missed the playoffs, and the first round pick in 25 years, ended up being the No. 10 pick.

The US media sent three candidates

Since the Rockets have finished rebuilding, this season has exposed the shortcomings of lacking key scorers in the playoffs, and has been involved in trading rumors with superstars such as Durant and Antetokounmpo.

The Rockets' No. 10 draw is very likely to be sent away as part of the introduction of superstars, especially considering the 25-year recognized draft year, the No. 10 draw is also of high value.

But whether the Rockets make a deal or not, they need to make preparations, so the US media also gave three candidates for the No. 10 draft picks.

Goal 3: Derek Quinn (center)

Data: 16 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1 block

Quinn has won the reputation of "Black Shin-kyung" with his all-round offensive skills. He is a relatively short inside player, but his physical confrontation ability is excellent. At the same time, the offensive end is comprehensive enough and has multiple ending methods.

The most important thing is that Quinn not only has reliable ball holding and ball handling, 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.

Goal 2: Boyles (4/5 position)

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. He not only has strong inside decision-making skills on the court, but also has excellent athletic ability.

Even though he is a little short, he is flexible in his steps and is not afraid of changing defenses. More importantly, he has good combat power, which is in line with the Rockets' strategy to win in the present.

Goal 1: Yakujonis (guard)

Data: 15.9 points, 5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.2 steals

Compared with the inside, the Rockets' back line obviously needs more strengthening, especially when Shepard's growth is not ideal.

Unlike the short Shepard, Yakusionis is a typical tall European point guard, a natural stadium general, and has a very high basketball IQ. The more reliable template given by the US media is Giddy, 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.
