The Rockets lost to the Warriors 3-4 in the first round of this year and were successfully blacked out of the seventh. Although this season has been successful for the Rockets in the playoffs. But after all playing to this point, Rockets fans naturally hope to go further. Jaylen Green is definitely the first to lose the Rockets' first round series. Because everyone else has fulfilled their value, Jaylen Green only made one in 7 games, and was super ghost in 6 games, averaging only 13 points per game, shooting percentage of 37%, and three-pointers 29%.

This made the Rockets very dissatisfied. Green was originally a god of magic in the regular season, but he ended up standing there for four years, and his shooting percentage hovered around 40% for many years. Fans thought the playoffs could break out, but the result was like this. So in the most disappointing lineup, Jaylen Green was selected. What makes Rockets fans even more frustrated is that the 21st year is the year of draft, which means that the Rockets waste a valuable second-tier pick, and four years of training resources will be wasted.

Compared with No. 1 picks Cningham and Tanhua Mobri, Green has no major honors since he was selected by the Rockets. First of all, it is the best team, which is on the official list of the best teams announced by the NBA. Mobley was selected for the second team, and CC also got the third team, but Green did not have any. And then on the All-Star side, Green didn't. Green is also the only player who has not been selected into the All-Star in the top three in the 21st class, and the only player who has not been selected into the Best Team.

The Rockets have centers as the core of their team building. From the Great Dream Olajuwon and Sampson to Yao Ming, the Rockets have always used centers as the cornerstone, and Harden's Thunder's selection is not counted. So when the Rockets have a high pick, they can be foolproof as long as they win the best inside line in that class. The 21st session also gave the Rockets a chance, Mobri, who he really hoped to come to the Rockets. The Rockets have differences. The Data Analysis Center strongly recommends taking Mobley, which shows that Mobley has excellent offensive and defensive influence, especially when she was a big eyebrows at the same age when she was in college.

But the scouting department and Tippedi don't want to see the data, they hope to bet on the talent of Qiao Xiake. So the Rockets chose Jaylen Green. When the Cavaliers were very happy when they learned that the Rockets took Green, they took Mobri without hesitation. Based on the current analysis, Green is indeed too far behind Mobley and CC in the top three in the 21st class. CC has a step every year, and now it is the top core of the ball holding system, and the next one is James Harden. Mobri is also the Cavaliers' inside pillar defense barrier. If his offense continues to improve, his future will be a super giant in the inside with an offense and defense.

Only Green does feel embarrassing and useful. If the Rockets replace Green with Raven or Booker in the first round of this year, it will be more stable than the Warriors. A point guard who has poor defense and can only score points, if he cannot score, his value on the court will be extremely low. Rockets former player Parsons talked about the current situation of the Rockets on the show "Run It Back". Parsons believes the Rockets will have to accept the shift from Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung to Amen Thompson and Shin Kyung. Jaylen Green's performance in the playoffs has made no progress in the past four years, allowing him to play himself out of the Rockets' core circle.

After all, Jaylen Green has not had a mature scoring technique since entering the NBA, and the rookie's touch can be forgiven for his first year. But in the fourth year, it still felt like eating, which was to hurt Zhongyong. Look at Amen Thompson. No super giant needs to look at 4 years. The normal potential embryo can see the shining points in the first year. Let’s take Shepard as an example. Although the first year is not long, his shooting and defensive predictions have highlights. What Shepard lacks is confrontation. He needs to gain weight and muscle gain, and once he adapts to the NBA rhythm, it will be no problem for Shepard's golf club to play.
