Five major media predict the Rockets first round pick candidate: 15+6 double-energy guards are the most popular, two inside players are shortlisted

Since the Suns are only ranked 11th in the Western Conference and have not even made the playoffs, the Rockets have taken a big advantage. This year they have the right to exchange the first round with the Suns. After the final draw and being in the tenth pick, the Rockets certainly have multiple choices, such as using this draw to exchange for the All-Star or even the super giant. Of course, if you keep it, the Rockets can also choose more potential stocks. The five major professional and authoritative media predicted the situation of the final candidate if the Rockets retain the first round pick. The Lithuanian double-seater Kasparas Yakujonis is the hottest because three of the media chose him, and two inside young players Carter Bryant and Thomas Sauber were also shortlisted.

Among them, Casparas Jacuzzonis was a potential choice for the Rockets when the media predicted in the last issue. In recent years, the double-season guards from Europe are often favored by NBA teams. Casparas Jacuzzoniz is also in a similar situation. In addition to being skilled in the organization, Casparas Jacuzzoniz is not at all in the European League, which emphasizes confrontation. This season, he averages 15 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists per game. Many experts and scouts predicted that Casparas Jacuzzonis has the strength and conditions to become a starting player immediately. Considering that the Rockets have a lot of variables in the backcourt, Fred VanVleet and Aaron Holiday are both short contracts, and Reed Shepard's development is not as expected. He is definitely an option worth considering. The name Carter Bryant sounds like a superstar. As a swingman at the University of Arizona, Carter Bryant has a very inconspicuous data and can only score 6.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. But he has the standard body of a forward player, and his wingspan and athletic ability are equally enviable. Obviously, Carter Bryant has the conditions to become a high-quality 3D wing. Although the upper limit of such players may not be particularly high, the lower limit can be guaranteed, at least it will not be a parallel product.

As for Thomas Sauber, he is a typical traditional center. Thomas Sauber is quite reliable in fighting for rebounds and franchise protection. Of course, his upper limit is relatively low, and the Rockets have Alperen Shinkin, and they have sufficient insiders. If Thomas Sauber comes to the Rockets, he can only be a substitute. It will definitely be a luxury to choose such a player with the No. 10 pick. Therefore, unless the Rockets operate the draft pick down in exchange for more assets, it is probably not a wise move to directly choose Thomas Sauber.
