On September 24th, Beijing time, Rockets player Christian Wood updated his personal social media and wrote: "I love basketball!" Wood's tweet was more like expressing his dissatisfaction. He was criticized by the Rockets last season. He has received a lot of doubts. Many fans say that he is a data brush, only attacks but does not defend, and cannot lead the team to win. Wood seems to be announcing in this way that he will make a comeback in the new season.
Since Wall will not participate in the Rockets' games in the new season, the Rockets are currently leaderless. Judging from various data, Wood, Porter Jr., and Jaylen Green may all become the Rockets' new team bosses. So who will lead the new season? What about Team Rocket? Let’s take a look at the data first:
Performance last season: (Wood > Porter Jr. > Jaylen Green)
Wood represented the Rockets last season, averaging 21.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.
Porter represented the Rockets last season. Averaged 16.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists per game
Jaylen Green averaged 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in the Development League last season (the quality of the Development League data is insufficient)
NBA2K22 ability value: (Wood＞Jalen Green＞Porter Jr.)
Wood scored 83 points, Jaylen Green scored 79 points, and Porter Jr. scored 77 points (Little Porter once questioned that his score was too low)
The Rockets focus on training: (Jalen Green > Porter Jr. > Wood)
Jaylen Green Height 1 98 meters in weight, with a weight of about 80 kilograms and a wingspan of 2.02 meters. He has the strongest dynamic talent of this rookie class. His jumping ability, explosive power and body control ability are all top-notch. He can easily combine athletic ability and scoring ability. During a training camp in the Bahamas, Rockets veteran Gordon praised Green's athleticism and scoring ability.
Through hard training throughout the summer, Porter has become stronger, with particularly obvious muscle lines and stronger resistance. According to reports from Rockets reporters, Porter's height has grown from 1.93 meters to 1.96 meters. Gaining muscle, weight and height, no wonder Rockets general manager Stone would rather give up Wall in order to correct Porter. This shows how high the Rockets' expectations for him are in the new season.
Wood's upper limit is indeed not high. Although he is 2.08 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.22 meters, he has the potential to become an excellent power forward. However, Wood is thin and weak in offense and defense. It is very difficult for him to defend players larger than himself. The upper limit is at most the second or third leader of the team, and it is difficult to become the cornerstone player of a team. At that time, the Pistons would rather offer Grant and Plumlee a big contract than retain Wood. They probably saw the reason why his upper limit was not high.
On October 20th, Beijing time, the Rockets will officially start the new NBA season. The problem before head coach Silas is that the Rockets' team leader for the new season has not yet been determined. Fans, who do you think among the above three players can become the team boss of the Rockets in the new season? Or do you have other options?
