To tell the truth, Silas' team is not bad, and there are even many good players; For example, Wall, a former Eastern All-Star guard, Gordon, the best sixth man in the league, wood, Olinic, Bradley, Enwaba and other experts, as well as young Martin and Kevin Porter. After Harden went to play for the Brooklyn Nets, the Houston Rockets now lack a cornerstone star to lead them forward. Such cornerstone players are not in their lineup. Fortunately, 202 1 is a big draft year, and only Jaegelin, Sagues, Mobry, Cunningham and others will attend this draft conference.
If Jay Green, Sagues and Mobry all have all-star potential, then Cunningham is undoubtedly the most talented, which can also explain why the Rockets will strive for the No.1 pick. After losing to the Blazers, their record came to 16 wins and 53 losses. In this way, the Rockets can't surpass the penultimate Pistons this season and officially lock in the bottom of the league. According to the league rules, the winning probability of the top four picks in the bottom three of the league this season is 52. 1%, and the winning probability of the top pick is 14%.
Cunningham is Ohio State University's leading scorer. He spent an impressive season with a failed lineup, averaging 20 points per game and shooting more than 40% three-pointers. More importantly, he is also an excellent defender who can defend multiple positions. In the process of defensive coordination and defensive change, he always knows where he wants to stay. There is no doubt that Cunningham is the core team they need.
In fact, when Wall's contract expires in the summer of 2023, and Gordon's unsecured contract can be cut in the last year, Si Tong will be able to make room for two highest salaries. If you are lucky enough to sign an all-star player and cooperate with the existing rookie bonus, the future of the Houston Rockets looks very clear.
