Rockets explore the trading plan for the No. 10 draw! It can be replaced by a combat-powered star. If you use it yourself, you may choose a 2.03 striker.

On May 31, according to famous reporter Kevin O'Connor, the Rockets are exploring a variety of trading options involving the No. 10 picks of the 2025 NBA Draft. It is reported that the team management is weighing multiple options, including trading upwards in draft picks, exchanging draft picks for in-fighting stars, or trading downwards in exchange for future assets. After finishing the season with a regular season record of 52-30, the Rockets fought a tough seven-game battle with the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs and were eventually eliminated. Now, the Rockets are turning their attention to the draft, facing an important decision that may affect the direction of their already bright lineup. The 2025 NBA Draft is scheduled to be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York from June 26 to 27. Currently, the Rockets hold the No. 10 pick, but league sources believe the team is unlikely to retain that pick. O'Connor reported that the Rockets' strong lineup could make it difficult for rookies to get playing time, just like the role of Shepard in the Tetram show last season was restricted.

However, if the Rockets choose to retain the draft pick, a potential candidate could be Arizona player Carter Bryant. The 2-03-meter striker is widely regarded as a comprehensive defender with compelling potential. In his only season in the NCAA, Bryant averaged 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in 37 games, shooting 46% from the field and 37.1% from three-pointers.他的选秀模板是乌布雷。

O'Connor wrote: "Choose Bryant is in line with the Rockets' style of building a team" and emphasized the striker's range, athleticism, and his potential as a fixed-point pitcher and smart off-ball cutter. Although Bryant is still immature in his ability to hold the ball, his offense and defense attributes show that he may contribute as a role player in the short term and develop into a more important player in the future.

However, considering that the team's rotation lineup is already crowded, especially on the wing and frontcourt positions, Houston may find it more favorable to use the No. 10 draw as a trading asset. O'Connor mentioned a similar trade possibility with the Spurs in 2024, when the Spurs traded downward and received a batch of future draft picks.

Whether the Rockets choose to package the draft picks for famous stars, trade upwards to the top of the draft, or acquire long-term assets, the team seems ready to take strategic action. The team already has a group of rising young talents who may see the draft as an opportunity to further improve the development trajectory, whether by adding young players or using assets to strengthen the lineup immediately. With less than a month away from the draft, Rockets management will continue to evaluate the options.
