According to HoopsHype reporter Alberto De Roa, the Houston Rockets have tried out for Steve Settle, a senior sixth inside player who played for Temple University this season.

Seter was born in February 2001. He is 24 years old, 208cm tall and weighs 82kg. He is an inside swinger with excellent comprehensive abilities. In the NCAA field this season, Settle made a total of 31 appearances, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, with averaging 12.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and 1.1 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 73.6%. Settle was shortlisted for the ACC League Championship's Best Team last season, but this season, his performance did not seem to be fully recognized by everyone, and he was not shortlisted for any awards or Best Team.

From the perspective of characteristics, Seitel has relatively rich offensive methods and scoring abilities on the offensive end. He can complete scoring in various ways, and he also has high stability outside the three-point line. Settle also performed well on the defensive end. He has a large defensive coverage area, he also has a certain ability to protect the basket, and his defensive contribution is also relatively high. However, relatively speaking, Settle is obviously older, and his overall performance this season is not particularly outstanding. His dominance on the court is relatively limited, and his performance in the past few seasons has been very average, which will also cause people to have some questions about his potential and his future development limit. What's more, the strength of his team is relatively average. In this case, he cannot play gorgeous data, which also shows that his personal abilities are relatively limited.

From all aspects, it is almost impossible for Settle to be a successful finalist in the next NBA draft. He has basically been confirmed to become a undraft. The Rockets are the second team in Settle's trial training. Settle also tried out for the Brooklyn Nets before, which also shows that he is still working very hard. He also hopes to impress various teams through his performance in the trial training. For the Rockets, of course, they cannot choose Settle with any draft pick, and even Settle cannot be a potential contender for a two-way contract. However, Settle can also use his own performance to qualify for the summer league and potential opportunities in the NBA Development League next season. I don’t know if we will see him in the lineup of the Rockets’ subordinate team Rio Grand Canyon Vipers in the NBA Development League next season.
