Rockets aim at 17+8 flanks? Northwest youth army joins the competition, but it is very risky to choose him with a lottery draw

In fact, last summer, the Rockets' management did not operate much, especially in cooperation with the Nets, sending the opponent's first round pick back and changing to the Suns' future draft pick. This decision caused great controversy at the time. But as the Suns became increasingly declining this season, they only ranked 11th in the Western Conference and did not even make the playoffs. The Rockets have the qualification to exchange draft picks with the Suns, so they won the No. 10 pick and became one of the winners of the draft.

According to information given by scouts, Rockets management has targeted wing player Colin Murray Boyles, viewing him as one of the potential targets for this year's draft. Of course, in addition to the Rockets, the Portland Trail Blazers in the Northwest Division youth team will also be expected to join the competition, but judging from the current situation, Colin Murray Boyles' upper and lower limit development is very different. If you use a lottery pick to choose him, the risk will be great.

Speaking of Colin Murray Boyles, many scouts and draft picks have compared him with Suns Iron Gate Ryan Dunn. They think that if they have the first round mid- and late draft pick and win Colin Murray Boyles, it would be a very good choice. As a sophomore, Colin Murray Boyles has made significant progress this season. He averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. In addition to the quasi-no pick Cooper Flag, Colin Murray Boyles is probably the best player who can play such comprehensive data during college and is extremely threatening on both sides of the offense and defense.

As a wingman, Colin Murray Boyles is very deterrent on the defensive end and is quite good at rebounding. Therefore, whether it is the bottom of the lottery or the champion, Colin Murray Boyles will be very needed. Especially the academic head coach pays special attention to details and execution, he will naturally have plus points. Whether in the Rockets or the Trail Blazers, there are already key training targets in the center position, but whether around Alperen Shinkin, DeAndre Aiton or Donovan Kregan, he has the ability to serve as the fourth position of the small lineup and help the team.

However, even if Colin Murray Boyles has the best draft market to enter the lottery zone and can even compete for the top ten picks, it would be extremely controversial if he really chose him in that place. Because Colin Murray Boyles defends strongly and has a weak offense, it even seems a bit of a drag on space. Without Stephen Curry's super giants, he will easily become a space black hole. In this regard, whether the Rockets, the Trail Blazers or other teams, they may have to be seriously considered.
