The Rockets want to use the No. 10 pick to choose the striker, or they want to give up Xiao Jia and Bai Mo, and it is recommended to change the combat power star.

On May 31, according to famous reporter Kevin O'Connor, the Rockets are exploring a variety of plans for the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Rockets management is weighing multiple options, including trading draft picks up, exchanging draft picks for immediate combat stars, and perhaps trading downward to obtain future assets. The reporter said that if the team retains the draft pick, it is likely to use the No. 10 pick to pick Carter Bryant from the University of Arizona.

Carter Bryant is 2.03 meters tall, famous for his excellent defense, and has good 3D potential. The template is Oubre. O'Connor said Carter Bryant is very suitable for the Rockets' team building style, with good shooting range and athletic ability, and can also be a fixed-point pitcher and no-ball cutter. This is the forward player Uduka likes. However, the Rockets are currently crowded on the wing and frontcourt positions, including Amen Thompson, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Ethan, White Devils, Dillon, etc.

If the Rockets want to leave the No. 10 pick to choose the forward and want to fight, it is very likely to trade Jabbarry Smith and the White Devils. After returning to the playoffs this season, the Rockets have given management hopes to win the championship, but the current lineup is still very young, and the young core does not have the ability to handle key balls. So if the Rockets want to trade stars, the team will give up some young people and draft picks.

After Amen Thompson firmly sat in the starting position, Jabarry Smith Jr. became a substitute, and perhaps Jabare himself was also not satisfied with the arrangement of this role. When you are eligible to renew your contract in advance, Jabarry Smith's role has changed and you may not have a big contract. If the Rockets cannot renew Jabbarry Smith Jr.'s annual salary of about 20 million, they will probably give up on him.
