The Rockets are trying to train a strong scorer at Northwestern University junior high school, but he is likely to withdraw from the draft?

According to previous news from usatoday reporter Cody Taylor, the Houston Rockets have previously held a trial for Northwestern's senior three forward Nick Martinelli, who is also one of the seven players the Rockets have tried so far.

Martinelli was born in January 2003 and is 22 years old, 201cm tall and weighs 91kg. He is a comprehensive striker. In the NCAA game this season, Martinelli made a total of 33 appearances, averaging 37.7 minutes per game, averaging 20.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 47.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 72.8%. With a series of outstanding performances this season, Martinelli was also successfully shortlisted for the second team of the Big Ten League's best team, which is also the greatest recognition of his outstanding performance.

From the perspective of characteristics, Martinelli has comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, his shooting ability is quite outstanding, he also has certain breakthrough ability, he also has some low-post scoring and inside offensive skills, and he also has certain passing ability and support ability. In addition, Martinelli also has good rebounding protection capabilities on the defensive end. However, Martinelli also has obvious shortcomings in movement speed and athletic ability. His ability in this regard is also a little worse, which will also make everyone a question mark about whether he can adapt to higher-intensity games or maintain such scoring ability and offensive efficiency at a higher level of defender. On the other hand, everyone is also very worried about Martinelli's adaptability on the defensive end. On the other hand, Martinelli's performance in the previous two seasons was also very average, and he did not complete the explosion until this season, which also made everyone feel a little worried about his potential.

Judging from the current situation, although Martinelli has performed very well this season, he should most likely withdraw from this year's NBA Draft. Martinelli was also able to get evaluations from NBA teams through this trial, which is also very helpful for him to further improve his skills and perform on the court next season. From the Rockets' perspective, this is actually an excellent opportunity for them to observe the players from close range, and Martinelli may also become the Rockets' long-term observation target in the future. If Martinelli can make a further breakthrough next season and perform at a higher level, the Rockets may also choose him in future NBA drafts. After all, Martinelli's performance this season is very eye-catching, and it is not easy to win so many points with a large number of ball rights.
