Stone made a decision in excitement and helplessness in the 21st and 22nd draft, and it turns out that he has endured everything

Rockets general manager Raphael Stone took the initiative to choose Jaylen Green in the 2021 and 2022 drafts, and passively chose Jabbarry Smith Jr. The development history of the two rookies was borne by Stone. Before the 2021 draft, Rockets general manager Raphael Stone was confident because he personally inspected and tried many times before, from the Ignition Team Jaylen Green, a shooting guard who is known as the "Jumper and Kobe". He has such praise, not only because his position is the same as Jordan and Kobe, but also his body shape and style of playing are very similar. He is equally elegant and chic, and he is a perfect traffic star. So Stone firmly and resolutely selected Jaylen Green with the second pick.

In the following four seasons, Jaylen Green's performance fluctuated, which was the kind of big opening and closing performance. After the head coach was replaced by Uduka, Jaylen Green was gradually marginalized until he was traded to the Suns in early July this year. In the 2022 draft, the Rockets continued their luck in the previous year. They had a scoop. This time, Stone no longer only focused on one player. He inspected and tried out Benchero and Homgren, and announced to the public that they would not choose. However, Stone ignored that he had only the Titanhua lottery, and the Magic and Thunder, who were in the front, had priority choice, so the Magic took Benchero away, the Thunder chose Homegren, and the Rockets had no choice but to choose Jabbarry Smith Jr.

Time flies, four seasons have passed, Jaylen Green has stopped the loss, Jabbarry Smith Jr. has renewed the contract, and the contract is $122 million for 5 years. This may be the best ending, and it is also a relief for Stone.
