The Rockets officially won the No. 10 draw, the media ranked three potential candidates, and the most reliable teammates of the No. 1 pick?

The draft officially ended. If the Mavericks and the Spurs became winners, then the Houston Rockets, who only won the No. 10 picks, were not too much of a loss. Because the Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference this year and have returned to the playoff stage, this lottery draw was obtained purely through exchanges with the Suns, which is already an unexpected surprise.

Now the Rockets have officially won the No. 10 draw, and many media have listed three potential candidates, including Con Knuper, Murray Boyles and Casparas Jakujonis. As long as these players do not experience accidents, such as temporarily opting out, or encountering some injuries, it is indeed very likely to enter the lottery zone.

Next, we will analyze three players in a wave. As the top pick Cooper Flag's teammate, Con Knuppel seems to be the most reliable, or the lower limit is very stable. In addition to Cooper Flag, Conn Knuppel is Duke University's best performer. This season he averaged 14.4 points, 4 rebounds, 2.7 assists per game, and has the ability to shoot through the Yang in 100 steps, with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%. It should be said that players like Con Knuppel have a low probability of becoming a parallel player. His draft reference templates include Cameron Johnson, Kevin Hult and Sadiq Bay, who are all high-quality rotations and even qualified starters, and the Rockets' outside shooting is poor, so this choice is more focused on the team's needs.

Murray Boyles is from South Carolina. He is also a wing player. Murray Boyles has a comprehensive style of play and he is easily favored by the Rockets coaching staff, especially coach Amy Uduka. This season, Murray Boyles averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and his overall shooting percentage even topped the league. It seems that Murray Boyles is more likely to enter the top ten pick than Con Knuppel. If Murray Boyles is still there when the Rockets choose, the management can also consider it.

As for Casparas Jakujonas, he is from the University of Illinois defender. Logically speaking, the Rockets are not short of people at this position, but Jaylen Green performed poorly, Fred VanVleet and Aaron Holiday are both short contracts now, while Reed Shepard is growing slowly. If there is a suitable opportunity, the Rockets can add a backcourt option, which is a good choice.
