Replace Adams? Experts recommend that the Rockets win the 18-year-old center with the No. 10 draw! Can protect the basket + versatile

In many simulation drafts, many media and experts have suggested that the Rockets chase superstars, and the Rockets' first round 10 pick in the offseason this year has always been considered one of the most important trading chips. Among many simulated trading solutions, this No. 10 sign is almost included in the transaction. In fact, this No. 10 pick is very important to some other teams in rebuilding, but it is not that important for the Houston Rockets, which has 7 young players - the Rockets now have too many young players, and even feel a little overcrowded.

If you use this No. 10 draw to win a new player, the Rockets' playing time will definitely not be enough. In fact, the Rockets' Shepard and Whitmore have fallen out of the rotation lineup this season because there are too many young players. However, if the Rockets can use this No. 10 draw to win a player with outstanding talent and perfectly meet their needs, this No. 10 draw can also be fulfilled as a rookie and used by the Rockets.

The Rockets may not have large-scale deals this summer, so retaining the integrity of the lineup this season is what the Rockets will do this summer. Many core players of the Rockets have contracts. Although Van Vritte's team options may not be executed, the Rockets are interested in signing a new contract with Van Vritte. As for veteran Adams, his contract has expired and becomes a free agent, the Rockets may not be able to keep him.

We have seen that in the regular season and the playoffs, Adams returned to his peak, especially in the playoffs, the double towers formed by him and Shin Kyung shone on the court, and Adams may be poached by other teams, so it is obviously not enough to rely solely on Shin Kyung and Langdale in the interior next season. The Rockets need a substitute center to replace Adams in the interior and relieve Shin Kyung.

NBA expert Alec Ilia suggested that the Rockets should use their 10th pick to pick up tall center Maruac from Duke University. According to the expert's analysis, the center from South Sudan has now been in contact with several NBA teams, and the Houston Rockets have also begun to pay attention to the center from Africa.

Although the Rockets do not have a clear draft plan, they can completely take off Maruac and make the center position deeper. Maruac is a stable basket protector, with strong defensive ability and versatile, able to complete some shooting, and is also an excellent defender in offense and defense conversion. Although his offense needs to be improved, with defense, Maruac can still gain a foothold in the Rockets. It is said that Maruac started to get involved in basketball at the age of 13 and is now only 18 years old. He is first-class and young enough.

The Rockets' center positions next season include Shin Kyung and Langdale. If you want to increase the depth of the lineup, Maruac is a very good choice. Although at the age of 18, he does not expect to have too many opportunities to play in the first year after joining the Rockets, his talent and growth space are enough and large enough. In a few years, Maruac will inevitably become the league's top football guard. So this expert suggested that the Rockets use the No. 10 draw to take Maruacchi. Once Adams leaves the Rockets as a free agent, the No. 5 position composed of Shin Kyung, Langdale and Maruacchi will also be first-class in the league next season.
