0 draft picks this year! Rockets buzzer-beating trial in France Capela, Stone plans to pick up the gaps in the draft

The 2025 NBA draft was held at the Barclays Center at the Nets' home court. It was the first-round draft on June 26 and the second-round draft on June 27.

If there is no big deal, the Rockets, who have the No. 10 and No. 59, will participate in the 2025 draft.

But the Rockets wanted to compete for the championship next season, so Jaylen Green and Dillon became victims, and multiple draft picks were sent to the Suns, and Durant was airborne Houston.

Rockets have 0 draft picks this year, so can Stone have a holiday these two days?

Stone, who is good at controlling the salary space, likes drafts because there are rookie bonuses to eat. So the Rockets have not completely withdrawn from the 2025 draft, and Stone still has work to do.

Although there is no draft pick in hand, the Rockets still try out "France Capela" Joan Bellinger before the draft approaches.

Rockets general manager Stone was optimistic about Garuba, and he was called Spain's dream chase. Stone thought he had made a profit by picking up bargains, but the latter did not realize his talent in Houston.

According to the list provided by Hoopshype, the Rockets invited France's potential insider Joan Bellinger, whose draft template is former Houston main center Clint Capela. He is also the only rookie who has a first-round prospect among the Rockets' trials.

Join Bellinger was born in 2006. He is 2.11 tall and has an arm-span of 2.25. He played in the European Professional League last season. He averaged 5.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 caps per game in 19 minutes. He shot 64.4% from the field and 56.6% from free throws.

Berlinger is good at eating cakes and has strong ending ability. Excellent athletic ability, can protect the frame, and participate in assisted defense. Bellinger is a very mobile insider and has a good lateral movement speed to participate in defense switching. Bellinger has poor offensive ability, no shooting, and free throws are not very good. These characteristics of him do remind people of Capela.

Swiss center Capela is 31 years old and has a height of 2.08 wingspan of 2.25. She entered the NBA as the No. 25 pick in 2014, and her career started with the Houston Rockets. Capela played in 664 NBA regular season games, averaging 26 minutes per game to score 12 points, 10.5 points and 1.4 caps, shooting percentage of 61.7% and free throw percentage of 54.4%. He has also played in 87 playoff games, averaging 8.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.3 caps per 24 minutes, shooting percentage of 60.2% and free throw percentage of 49.5%.

Berlinger's current draft is at the end of the first round. He is a rough rookie, and it is not ruled out that he will fall into the second round.

Rockets general manager Stone plans to find a bargain in the draft. The Houston Chronicle reporter Lerner revealed that the Rockets are exploring the possibility of getting a draft pick through trades to participate in the 2025 draft. If a promising rookie falls off and has the opportunity to get a draft pick at a relatively small price, the Rockets will take action. If this happens, the selected player is likely to be trained as a potential stock rather than entering the Rockets playoff rotation. The Rockets already have about five favorite target candidates.

Compared with the draft, many Rockets fans are more looking forward to Stone getting another star.

famous reporter Shams said the Celtics prefer not to trade Jaylen Brown and White, but now there are many buyers quoting, which has forced transaction negotiations to be launched. Many teams are interested in Jaylen Brown, although his contract is large. The Wild West has been in an arms race, and many teams will do it.

Nuggets boss publicly stated that if extreme situations occur, he may consider trading Jokic.

Jaylen Brown and Jokic are both targets that many Rockets fans like. Jokic, in particular, is perfect for the Rockets.
