Average of 6+5+1+1! Rockets No. 10 pick or defensive forward? Can defend and shoot, comprehensive skills

Although some experts believe that the Rockets' first round No. 10 draw will be traded before or during the draft, in exchange for some star players, there is also a saying that the Rockets will still use this No. 10 draw to win a rookie to strengthen the lineup. After all, it is too difficult for the Rockets to trade superstars, and the Rockets will not rashly break up the current winning lineup. Then redeeming the No. 10 draw as a young player may be a better choice - the Rockets can not only strengthen and improve their shortcomings, but also gain the dividends of rookies.

After all, the Rockets only have one middle-class space to use this summer, and there is not much salary space to sign free agents at all. If the No. 10 draw can be used to win a rookie player to supplement the lineup, it can be said that it will kill two birds with one stone. After all, although the No. 10 pick is not too high, the Rockets can also take away the players they like in this rookie year.

Although Kevin O'Connor, a famous NBA reporter, believes that the Rockets will trade the No. 10 pick, he also gave another statement: If the Rockets choose to retain the No. 10 draft pick, the Rockets' potential target is rookie forward Carter Bryant from the University of Arizona.

As a freshman, Carter Bryant has very distinct characteristics. Although his offensive ability is not strong, the 6-foot-8-inch forward guard swinger is considered an all-round defender and he has strong potential. He has made a total of 37 appearances this season, averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block per game, shooting 46% from the field and 37.1% from three-point shooting percentage.

Although Carter Bryant has average offensive ability (average of only 6.5 points per game), he is proficient in defense and tall, and can serve as a shooting guard and a small forward. He can even play a guest appearance as a power forward in a small lineup. He has good rebounding ability, passes and blocks. When defending one-on-one, Bryant also has a strong level of marking. Moreover, his 37% three-point shooting percentage is very consistent with the Rockets' requirements - although his 37% three-point shooting percentage is not at the elite level, among the Rockets, such a three-point shooting percentage is already very excellent.

The Rockets need a player who can defend and shoot three-pointers. In addition to three-pointers and defense, Bryant also has the ability to pass, steal and even block, so he is also an ideal choice for the Rockets' No. 10 pick.

Some people may say that the Rockets are not short of defensive players now. Players such as Dillon, Amen, Tate, and Ethan are all defensive experts, but the Rockets may not be able to keep Tate next season. If you want to find a substitute for Tate, then the young Carter Bryant is the best choice. Even when Dillon Brooks gets older, Carter Bryant will be one of the important defensive players on the Rockets' forward line.

If the Rockets' first round 10 pick cannot be exchanged for star players, then it is not a bad idea to use it yourself. After all, this Carter Bryant is considered to have strong potential and he will have the opportunity to become a star player in the future, but only if he needs to improve his offensive ability.
