The Rockets won the second place.
However, if the most popular draft is the Houston Rockets, besides trading Kuzma, harel, Pope and the Lakers who successfully signed No.22 in the first round. Last season, after winning the second prize, the vice squad leader of the western region chose Jay Green, the top defender swingman. Template Kobe Bryant, Lavin and Bill Green will become the core of Houston people's perimeter in the next few seasons. In addition, Si Tong also reached a deal with Thunder, who has the first-round draft pick 16, that is, he overdrawn two first-round signings next season and reached an exchange agreement, thus missing Shen Jing from the Turkish League.
It took the Rockets two first-round transactions to get the draft pick 16. A deal that seems to lose everything is not as simple as it seems. First of all, the two draft picks sent to Thunder are strictly protected by drawing lots, and if they are not careful, they risk being relegated to the second round of the show. In addition, the big man selected by the Rockets has the potential to be the next star insider! The wily Presty can't make any money in this deal!
Shen Jing from the Turkish League has never dropped out of the draw list since she announced her participation in the draft. After the joint trial, it once rushed into the top five. Shen Jing is considered a good choice for the Warriors and Thunder who lack inside information. From the technical point of view, Shen Jing averaged 19 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the Turkish league last season, and won the youngest MVP winner in the Turkish league with this data. Some people compare it with another Turkish god, Takante, but the more versatile Shen Jing is more like Jokic, the MVP winner of the regular season and the head of Nuggets. He is also a big man with comprehensive skills. Shen Jing's only disadvantage may be that the efficiency outside the three-point line is not completely stable, but he is undoubtedly the core candidate for the rookie center who is only 18 years old.
Some people compare it with the flower show Mobry, which is unfair to Shen Jing. The talent of the 2.08-meter-tall Turkish guy is not as wonderful as that of Mobry, nor does he have the potential to become the core of inside defense, but Shen Jing's advantage lies in his softer touch and better passing ability! Template Jokic or Pacers center Sabonis is more suitable. But to say that the two best inside big men in the same rookie are these two. Maybe that's why Si Tong gave up Mobry. The Rockets management is playing a big game! Now that Green and Shen Jingdu are in place, the Rockets have completed the determination of the internal and external nuclei in just one draft, which makes people feel that Si Tong's vision is really poisonous! From the low-cost absence of Wood and Porter to the reappearance of God's operation in the draft, this general manager is the biggest cornerstone of the reconstruction of the Rockets.
