With the draft day approaching, the management of each team is also very busy. After all, although it is a draft year, we cannot miss the opportunity to strengthen. Especially for the Houston Rockets, Shenzao won the third ranking basketball net pick, which led to a sudden increase in pressure on the Rockets' management, especially general manager Rafael Stone, who must make full use of his value.
Then, local fans had a heated discussion about how the Rockets should deal with the issue of the exploratory draw. Among them, Reed Shepard, a dual guard from the University of Kentucky, was unanimously favored. About 41.7% of the fans voted for him. Reed Shepard simply gained an overwhelming advantage. Chinese center Zhou Zhihao also became a dark horse, which was quite unexpected in the list.
Reed Shepard has obvious advantages and disadvantages. He really has the ability to shoot with every move. Moreover, Reed Shepard has a high player and is very talented in attack. Considering that the Rockets "just" got the exploratory draw, if there is no accident, Alexander Sal and Zakar Risaceh basically lock the first two players, then those players behind, who can effectively strengthen the short board, may have obvious advantages. Obviously, many media, experts and fans are optimistic about Reed Shepard for this reason. However, it is worth noting that the original prediction of the Nets' signature is the ninth, and choosing Reed Shepard is no problem, but after the Rockets passed the magic draw, the Nets' signature became a probe, which is worth discussing if choosing Reed Shepard. After all, the offensive space and projection of the Rockets can hardly be completely improved by a young rookie alone, where De Shepard is Stephen Curry.
So at present, there are many people who suggest that the Rockets send away the exploratory visa, and 19.5% of the fans choose to do so, which shows that everyone has too little confidence in rookie Xiao Nian. Of course, even if they send away the exploratory draw, the Rockets also have multiple plans, such as exchanging the exploratory draw for future draft rights, or directly winning immediate combat power. As for Zhou Zhihao on the list, I personally think it's a bit bloody. After all, even if Zhou Zhihao is a Chinese American center, his speed and mobility are also average when referring to him as an older rookie. At best, the market at the end of the first round is the same. Zhou Zhihao is not likely to enter the lottery area. It would be very unreasonable to use such a high ranking to win him.
As for the two backcourt rookies Nicola Topic and Robert Dillingham, they were totally looked down. The Rockets had no shortage of guards, and their shooting ability was a bit bad. Originally, the general manager of the Rockets, Rafael Stone, went to Europe to inspect the rookies, but Nicola Topic was injured during this period, which may change the minds of many teams.
