If the Rockets choose the wrong second-guess Tanhua in succession, scout director Chris Wallace will be fired

The Rockets have won high picks in a row since 2021. Now the second place Jaylen Green has stopped the loss. Next, it depends on Tanhua Shepard. If this doesn't work, then the team's scout director Chris Wallace will definitely be fired.

Chris Wallace joined the Rockets in July 2021 as head of scouts. He had previously served as the Celtics and the Grizzlies for a long time. Strictly speaking, Jaylen Green was not chosen by Chris Wallace because the draft was in June, and he only joined the Rockets in July.

As we all know, Jaylen Green is the first draft after Raphael Stone took over as general manager of the Rockets, and this is also an extremely valuable second-hand pick. Stone personally selected Jaylen Green, who was "upper and lower than the team". After 4 seasons, it was proved that Stone had poor draft vision, but he performed well in later trades and contracts, so he would not take the blame for Jaylen Green.

2024 Sheppard is Chris Wallace's "masterpiece". There is no reason to refuse this. If Sheppard still cannot perform well next season, he is likely to be traded in the middle of the season. That is the time for Chris Wallace to be dismissed.
