Rockets 3 center may leave the team? Stone can beat Maruac: He can be called an upgraded version of Capela

Now in the game, inside players are becoming more and more important to winning, especially in the playoffs, where teams with empty insides are almost difficult to go further. The most typical representative is the Los Angeles Lakers. Although they have two stars Doncic and James, there are only third-rate centers like Hayes and Ryan in the interior, so they were eliminated by the Timberwolves with a 4:1 score in the first round.

The Warriors' inside line is not strong enough. After the lack of Curry, the Warriors have been tied for two consecutive games by the Timberwolves, trailing with a score of 1:2. Although the Rockets were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round, the lineup of the double center also made the Warriors suffer a lot. In the regular season, several centers and power forwards of the Rockets made the inside line a solid wall. On the offensive end, Smith Jr. had three-pointers from outside and Shin Kyung's low post score; on the defensive end, Adams, Smith Jr. and Langdale are all defensive centers, and their defensive ability is not weak. Therefore, the Rockets are a team with relatively strong offense and defense, but the outside players performed poorly, so they were eliminated by the Warriors.

But this summer's offseason, the Rockets' inside, especially the center, may experience huge changes. Because the contracts of Adams, Langdale and fourth center Enfalley Dante have expired, the Rockets are probably not able to keep all three centers. Especially after Adams made his value, his contract is expected to rise sharply.

Landal probably also wants to go to a team that can enter the rotation lineup, not to be the third center for the Rockets; Dante performed well in a limited number of regular season games, and whether it is the inside, defense or rebounding, he did a good job, so it should be no problem to go to other teams to seek a substitute center. Therefore, it is difficult for the Rockets to retain three centers when there is insufficient salary space, and these three centers are likely to leave the team.

However, Manager Stone also has other means to recruit new centers, such as signing a basic center, or finding one or two centers through a trade. In addition, the Rockets also have a first-round pick and a second-round pick, which is expected to be in the top nine pick. Manager Stone can definitely take away one of the best centers of this year, Maruacchi. This center from Africa has a bit like Mutombo of the Rockets back then, and a bit like Clint Capela, the starting center of the Rockets back then, but he is better than Capela. This tall center forward has outstanding talent, can run and jump, is extremely fast, has strong explosive power, and is very tall and wingspan. More importantly, he is a completely upgraded version of Capela, who is both young and has the ability to shoot with one hand, which is something Capela did not have back then.

Although Maruac's scoring skills are average at low posts, he can pull to the outside to shoot, which can give Shin Kyung or other inside players of the Rockets more space, which is why Maruac is called the best center of this year. Even if the three Rockets centers may leave the team, Manager Stone can completely consider Maruacchi, a talented center.

Although some of his skills still need to be polished, in the Rockets, centers who can defend, protect the basket, grab rebounds, and shoot are obviously very urgently needed. If Adams cannot stay in the team, then the Rockets can try to use this year's first-round draft pick from the Suns, making him Shin Kyung's first substitute. The Rockets can even form a double tower lineup, so that Shin Kyung and Maru Aki can match the inside, which should have a good effect.
