The Rookie won the first draw! The Rockets held it in...

officially ended its two-day draft.

The Rockets selected South Sudanese center Kaman Manuatch from Duke University's 10th pick in the draft! !

I am so handsome...

Yeah, of course, I am so hot. Because Durant's deal won't officially take effect until July, the Suns are currently instructing me to choose Manuach.

The Suns are also lucky enough. They dragged the Rockets for almost a month and didn't trade because I was not satisfied with the two chips I'm popular (Jaylen Green and the No. 10 pick)

The biggest reason is that the No. 10 pick not only cannot have an impact on future reconstruction strategies, but it is also difficult to choose a good center in this pick.

Previously, the media that were slightly better predicted that the first center of this draft, MaluAchi, would be selected from the 5th to 8th.

I didn't expect that I would fall to the 10th ranking and be stolen by the sun.

If the Sun Opens the Sky Eye knows that he can get Maluach at the 10th pick, I may be a few less popular rounds and they will be willing to do it.

By the way, when it comes to these five second rounds, the Suns traded a few of these first rounds to the No. 31 draw and No. 41 draw on the second day of the draft. It can also be considered as using Durant's bargaining chips.

If Jaylen Green can match Booker and MaluAchi to play the role of the first center, and the 31st and 41st picks can produce a rotation level player, then it would not be a loss for them to become popular with me.

Back to the Rockets, the Rockets finally ended with 0 draft picks in this draft, which is the only one we have not had any draft picks in recent years.

Originally, Shams said on the show this morning, "I think the Rockets should exchange Whitmore for some high-ranking second rounds."

Here I need to emphasize that Shams has no revelations. He is a personal prediction. The sentence used is "I think"

If you watch too many Shams' interview programs, you will find that some trading details that have just begun to appear. He likes to use "I personally think XXX may be traded to XXX." (Previously, the Thunder G7 was interviewed by Chinese media before the game and said that I thought Holiday and Platinum should be traded, but they were all sent away in 4 days)

And when the transaction starts to accelerate, he will use "according to sources around him, XXXXX"

, so that he can output opinions without fear of water programs, and will not be responsible for what he said.

So Shams said that the Rockets should trade Whitmore should be a little loud, but not very loud.

In the end, the Rockets also held back and did not make any trades in the draft.

I personally think the Rockets' operations are also rational. At the moment when Dillon and Tari Ethan have not yet determined the prospect, Whitmore can stay for at least half a season to see the situation.

After the draft, the Rockets finally signed the first draft immediately.

signed Mississippi State's 2-01 striker Cam Matthews with an EX-10 contract.

The source said that the Rockets wanted to operate a second round pick in the draft because there were players they wanted in the pool.

But in the end, the Rockets held back. Matthews didn't know if it was the player the Rockets originally wanted to sign?

Judging from the resume, Matthews is a defensive player. He has averaged more than one steal per game in his NCAA career in his five years. In the past two years, he has averaged two steals per game (average of 2.5 off this year), and was selected for the division defense for a second time.

This guy has a huge offensive ability, and he averaged only 10 points per game in college, but his free throw ability is very poor (more than 50% of his career) and this is quite consistent with my popularity.

The official free market transfer period and summer league will soon be entered after the draft, and the good show is still to come.
