Nembhard scored 14 points, 8 assists and 6 steals! The Rockets waste the No. 29 draw, Tay Tay let Harden see it
The Pacers, who are also very careful in saving money in the small ball market, reached the finals, and the Rockets were eliminated early.
Tyres Halliburton performed well. He was only the No. 12 pick and has now grown into a cornerstone player. There were Rockets fans who wanted Stone to trade to Halliburton, but now it is impossible. He is a non-sale product for the Pacers. There is another guard in the 2020 rookie who is underrated, and his name is Thales Maxi. When Harden traded, the Rockets hoped to join the No. 21 pick Maxi, but the 76ers refused.
Two years later, in 2022, a defender with the template Maxie appeared. His name is Tait Washington, and he also comes from the University of Kentucky.
However, Taytai failed to play in the Rockets, and Andrew Nembhard, who ranked behind him in the draft, grew into the Pacers' main defender.
Nembhard scored 14 points, 8 assists, 6 steals and 1 attack in the Pacers' 4-2 elimination of the Knicks, and scored 6 of 12 shots, with a plus-minus value +25 first in the team.
Nembhard's technical characteristics are very suitable for Uduka's system. However, the Rockets wasted the No. 29 pick that year and chose Tate, and Stone had another reason to be criticized by fans.
Hambuhad was born in 2000. He was a bit older when he participated in the draft, and he was a new star that was fighting power rather than potential. Nembhard is 1.91 meters tall, with solid skills, hard defense and a big heart. As a second round pick, he has grown up step by step. He averaged 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game in the playoffs this season, with a shooting percentage of 47.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 48.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 83.3%.
At that time, the former famous Houston reporter Feigan said that the Rockets could not choose too many unfinished rookies and might not be able to develop them. It is recommended that Stone chooses plug-and-play combat power at the end of the first round.
Many Rockets fans joked that General Manager Stone chose people according to the list. At that time, many experts were optimistic about Tae Tai, who came from a prestigious school. When he accepted it, he said that his characteristics were like Kentucky senior Maxi. The Rockets tried out Taetae and selected him with the No. 29 pick after he fell. Stone thought at that time that he chose Taetai as a bargain.
Not only Stone was misleading, but Tay Tay also misleading Harden. Taetae once played for Harden in the AAU Youth Basketball League. Harden is optimistic about Taetay and gives him some advice. When the Rockets selected Taytai with the No. 29 pick, Harden posted photos on social media to welcome him to the NBA.
Harden's optimistic college junior Josh Christopher failed to realize his talent in the Rockets, and now he can only be a water dispenser in the Heat. Harden's optimistic Taytai also failed to play in Houston. Now he doesn't have many opportunities to play in the Suns, averaging 2.2 points per game. I have to say that Harden has a strong leadership ability and can be regarded as the cornerstone, but his vision is indeed not very good.
It would be great if the Rockets had selected Nembhard with the No. 29 pick, and some Houston fans expressed regret. Unfortunately, there is no if in this world. Taitai is indeed a parallel product and cannot adapt to the NBA. Two years later, Taytai's Kentucky junior Reed Shepard entered the NBA and was also selected by the Rockets. His rookie season data was bleak and he was recognized as a parallel product by some fans.
Rockets just wasted the No. 29 draw, while the Wizards wasted the No. 10 draw and missed Jaylen Williams.
Johnny Davis said in an interview before the 2022 draft that his template was Devin Booker, and the Wizards general manager selected him with the No. 10 pick.
Whether Shepard is a parallel product needs to be observed for another year, and Johnny Davis is indeed a parallel product. He has not been able to fight it for three years and has been given up by the Wizards.
