In the late part of the regular season last season, the Houston Rockets, who are loved and followed by fans, played strong and had hopes of making the playoffs. Despite failing to make the playoffs, the team's performance gave hope to the management and the fans to see the excitement of basketball.
Under the careful cultivation of head coach Udoka, Shin Jing and Jalen Green played at an All-Star level, and it seems that they have the potential to become the cornerstone of the team; No. 4 pick Amen Thompson knows how to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, perform at the top of his game on defense and rebounding, and has been working hard in the gym to shoot his shots. Meanwhile, Jabari Smith, Eason and Whitmore have also made great strides to contribute to the team's victory.
Now that the Rockets have entered the second phase of their rebuild, Udoka's team already knows how to win in this league; Therefore, the operation of this offseason is crucial, and if done correctly, the Houston Rockets can completely replicate the success of the Thunder and Timberwolves.
In fact, in the previous draft pick lottery ceremony, the Rockets were already waiting for the Rockets, and the Brooklyn Nets sent a pick. In this way, Stone can be very flexible, both to continue to inject new talent into the team and to use it as a bargaining chip to acquire players who can help the team win.
After making contact with other teams, Stone found that there was no satisfactory trade package, and the Rockets decided to make good use of the scout pick. In order to do this well, Stone has been leading the team to study the information of this year's rookies, and also invited some interested rookies to come to Houston for tryouts.
According to a report by the famous reporter WOJ, sources revealed that the Hawks and Wizards jumped to Klingen, and the Rockets took the NCAA championship center.
As a tall center player, Klingen's strength is relatively average, and he does not have particularly bright skills and no shortcomings; And he also has a good ability to protect the rim and can also pull out the outside to shoot threes, which undoubtedly meets the needs of the Houston Rockets. If Klingen is won, then the Rockets' performance next season is extremely exciting.
