The Rockets probability of drawing the first four draws is 17.3%, Edgecombe is the defensive enhanced version of Jaylen Green

The Houston Rockets have said goodbye to the playoffs in advance, and fans have begun to pay attention to the draft.

According to the NBA league arrangement, the G League joint trial will be held from May 10 to 12, the NBA joint trial will be held from May 12 to 19, and the NBA lottery will be held on May 13.

Rockets management postponed Van Jordan's last-year contract with $44.9 million, and they have to wait for the result of the lottery draw before deciding on the next step.

"spacecityscoop" talks about the upcoming 2025 lottery draw. The Houston media said that the Rockets have a very small chance to draw the No. 1 pick, Flag is a combination of offense and defense, and has the potential to become a cornerstone player. It would be a good result if the Rockets could draw the first four draws. Harper and Bailey are both excellent young people, and Edgecombe has great potential.

According to data provided by tankathon, the probability of the Rockets' Suns draw to the No. 1 pick is 3.8%, and the probability of the top four draws is 17.3%. Flag is the most popular No. 1 pick, and many Houston fans hope he can wear the Rockets jersey. Hubble ranked second on the list, and his template is the former Rockets cornerstone Harden. Bailey ranks third, and his template is former Rockets star McGrady. Edgecom is fourth, he is the defensively enhanced version of Jaylen Green.

Recently, some American media said that if the Rockets draw the No. 4 draw, they can consider choosing VJ Edgecom and use him to replace Jaylen Green.

The template given by "nbadraftroom" for Edgecom is Jaylen Green.

Echcomb is 19-year-old 1.96 meters tall. He is a Bahamas player. He played at Baylor University last season. He played 33 games and averaged 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.6 caps. He shot 43.6%, shot 34% from three-pointers and 78.2% from free throws.

Edgecomb has excellent athleticism like Jaylen Green, and can use his speed and explosive power to break through and complete dunks. In addition to breaking through, Edgecom can also pull out three-pointers from the outside. Edgecombe can not only score by himself, but also create shooting opportunities for his teammates. He has certain organizational skills.

Defense is also Edgecombe's selling point. He has good horizontal movement speed, can defend multiple positions, can oppress the opponent's ball holder, use predictions to complete steals, and can also use bounces to give the opponent a big hat. Edgecomm is not a player who only wants to swipe data. He is willing to put his energy on the defensive end and he is full of energy on the court.

Jaylen Green was once pressed on the bench by Uduka due to defensive problems, and he could only become an audience at critical moments. At the same time, Uduka also hopes that Jaylen Green will play more team-up and pass more balls when he is trapped in the opponent's double-team. Edgecombe's passes and defenses would be something Uduka likes.

Edgecom and Jaylen Green had the same problem. First, the shooting stability is insufficient, and he can make 5 of 8 three-pointers and 1 of 7. Second, his ball-holding ability is average and needs further improvement.

Jaylen Green is actually talented, but he has never been to college and has developed bad habits in the ignition team. After entering the NBA, Jaylen Green met the good-looking coach Silas again. He has been playing in his comfort zone, just scoring and not defending, and losing doesn't matter. Later, the Rockets entered the second stage of reconstruction, and Jaylen Green struggled in Uduka's system. Although there were progress, there was still a big gap between the expectations of the management and fans. Many American media believe that Jaylen Green may be abandoned by the Rockets.
