"Draft expert**: The Rockets choose Booker Jr., and the second round selects 15+9 centers! "!
While the Houston Rockets already have championship hopes, they must guarantee a playoff win or be taken away by the Oklahoma City Thunder, which they don't want to see. However, it also relieved them, as the Bucks also got a first-round pick, which was also a big deal.
Currently, there are numerous news reports that the Houston Rockets will sign Booker Jacob Walter Jr. with No. 8, and the second-round pick is Indiana forward Kyle Weir, a player whose name has been associated with the Rockets many times.
Jacob Walter is a former five-star high school player who joined Baylor this season and, according to the scouts, Jacob. Walter will be the next Devin Booker. On the court, Jacob Walter and Jalen Green have similarities, but the latter's state is not ideal, and the Rockets give Jalen Green plenty of game time and opportunities, otherwise, even if Jacob Walter and other positions are used to make Jalen Green an outcast, it is estimated that not many people will pity him.
Going back to Jacob Walter, the strengths of this man are obvious, he has great physical fitness, and he has great technique, and compared to Jalen Green, Jacob Walter has two strengths. First of all, the NCAA league is very different from the NFL, so the coaches still need to train according to the team's tactics, which makes Walter have a certain individual strength, he may not be better than Jalen Green, but he is no longer the kind of stunned young man who only works on his own, and at the beginning, it was really difficult to get rid of his bad habits. In addition, Jacob Walter has good possession and a global view and is willing to create more scoring opportunities for his fellow players. If the Rockets really have run out of patience with Jalen Green, then Jacob. Walter is a good replacement.
Regarding the second-round draft, Kyle Weir looks like a good candidate, averaging 15 points per game this season, 94 rebounds, 16 assists, 16 blocks, and can also project a lot of lethality on the outside, such data is enough for the current NBA. Kyle Weir spent a mediocre period in Oregon last season before ending up in Indiana, where his individual ability and performance improved a lot, but because of his age, he was still a blue-collar relative to those who were drafted, so he wasn't worth much.
