The East and West playoff finals are still in full swing, but the Houston Rockets have completed their work this season, and now the players have started to take a vacation, while the management focuses on the upcoming draft. While winning the fourth place in the regular season record, it is lucky enough for the Rockets to get a 10-pick draft pick.

However, this year's Rockets' draft may be somewhat different from previous years. First of all, the Rockets' trading of this first-round pick is even more likely. After all, there are already 7 young players selected by the team in recent years, and 5 players have officially entered the rotation. The Rockets basically don't have much time to give a rookie, and the Rockets have made it to the playoffs this season, so the team's goal will be to win the championship, and the team needs instant players.

If the team cannot find a suitable trading partner, if the Rockets want to use this sign to choose a rookie, they must avoid the following three players. After the joint trial, these three players exposed very obvious shortcomings. The first is Quinn, who is known as the "Queen", who is known as the player with the most delicate inside skills among this rookie. The college averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, with a comprehensive data. It has been in the 10-15 pick in the draft forecast list, and after the joint trial, Quinn's draft pick plummeted.

In the joint trial training, he shrank severely. He was previously registered as 2.08 meters tall, and the actual test was only about 2.03 meters. At the same time, all tests in athletic ability were at the bottom. He was previously called the Rockets Shin Kyung-type player, but at present, Quinn is more like Scola with a rougher skill. Once he cannot develop an outside projection, it will be difficult to open up the situation in front of NBA-level insiders. Previously, the media photographed Quinn having started trial training in Houston, and Rockets player Jabbarri Jr. even liked the news. If the Rockets really wanted Quinn, it might be enough to get a first round of 25 picks in the first round.

The second player who needs to be cautious in the team, and is also an inside player. He is Asa Newell, who ranked in the top ten in the draft pick before. Newell is affectionately called the "Antelope Prince". As early as high school, Newell had a very famous name on social media.

As an inside player, he has a height of 2.08 meters and a forward player-like mobility. People can often see him running through the fast break scenes throughout the game, which is not common in a center player. But in terms of basketball technology, Newell may be the worst in the inside with the prospect of the first round.

Apart from fighting for the frontcourt rebounds to complete a second offense, Newell did not have much highlights on the offensive end, and he is currently the one with the worst rebounding rate in the backcourt among the inside. Previously, people believed that Newell might become an all-around inside player like Saar last year, but now it seems that he is more likely to be just a blue-collar center like Hayes. The third player in

is Deming, who has been very popular before. As a tall point guard over 2 meters tall, Deming averaged 10.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game at Brigham Young University in his freshman year. Many people optimistically said that he is expected to become a team commander like Gidey, but in fact, Deming's playing style is very different from Gidey.

As the No.6 rookie among the 21st class, Gidy, who is 2.02 meters tall, was able to represent the Adelaide 36ers in the NBL at the age of 18, averaging 10.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. When it comes to organizing the team's offense, Giddy doesn't need too many pick-and-rolls like Deming. On the defensive end, the gap between the two is more obvious. Giddy is much better than Deming in terms of flexibility. With his current defensive ability, Deming may become a breakthrough for his opponent on the court. After the joint trial, his draft pick has dropped from around 10 picks in the previous first round to around 20 picks.

So if the Rockets use their own draft picks, they must carefully consider the above three players. In fact, in the 10th pick, the team will have many choices, such as Bryce, Branent, Yaku and even Coward, but like Quinn, Newell and Deming, either they have poor physical fitness or technical shortcomings, the team should not take risks, otherwise they will not make any positive contributions when playing on the court like Shepard, and it is better to save some salary space if they trade. Which player do you think the Rockets should choose for the 10th pick in the first round of this year? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
