The draft conference of 202 1 is recognized as a big draft year, so after sending Harden away, the Rockets are also collecting young potential players and draft picks. Oladipo was sent to the Heat after a few games, and Wall may be traded next season, even if he doesn't trade, he may be laid off.
The rocket's goal is clear, that is, to start rebuilding quickly with young players. Although he was the last player in the league, he also gained a lot of potential players. Little Potter and little Martin were windfalls. If they win the first place, the Rockets will probably choose Green, and they will start to rebuild the team with Green and Potter as the core.
Jay Green is 1.98 meters tall and is a shooting guard. After graduating from high school, I skipped college directly and joined the NBA Development League. He is considered to be the player with the least physical talent than Jordan. This evaluation is obviously exaggerated, but it also shows the potential of green. Although Green is actually more like Harden, his strength is not strong, but his scoring ability is very explosive, especially his sudden stop jump shot and projection ability, which is very suitable for the current NBA. With Harden gone, Green can fill the vacancy left by Harden.
But besides Green, the Rockets may choose Cunningham. Cunningham is a big vacancy, and the template is Dancsics. This shows that his basic skills are solid and his athletic ability is not strong enough. In today's projection-oriented era, a player like him should develop well. Although it is difficult to reach the level of Dancsics, it is not too bad to choose.
Another option for the rocket is Mobry. Mobry is the best inside player in this rookie. Although the inside players are not very popular now, the rockets have the tradition of signing the center with the top pick. Olajuwon and Yao Ming were successful choices before. It is also a very reasonable choice to choose Mobry and Porter as the combination of inner and outer lines.
Therefore, it is hard to say who the Rockets can choose in this year's draft. If they win the champion, then the initiative is in their own hands, and it is possible to choose anyone they want. If they don't win, it depends on the choice of other teams. If they get to the Rockets and Green is not selected, then the Rockets will definitely choose him.
