House didn't play very well, his aura was quite strong and his temper was not small, so he was dubbed as a superstar by many fans. Howard said today that he has improved again and wants to be a ball-handler. He is openly asking coach Silas for the ball.
Strictly speaking, House is still relatively active in the preseason , and there are some brighter shots, but the overall performance is not good. In the past two games, House made 6 of 18 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 2 turnovers, defensive misalignment, and one step was overtaken. If Silas lets House hold the ball, the consequences should be terrible.
Not surprisingly, House's request for the ball was ruthlessly rejected by the coach. Silas bluntly said that there is no plan for House to hold the ball. House is a bit floating, can he stay in the rockets for a long time to make a question mark, actually thinking about the upper position. Many Houston fans have not forgotten his identity as the sinner of the Rockets.
News from Australian basketball reporter Olgun Uluc, the Rockets signed 22-year-old Australian defender William McDowell White.
White was a last year's loser. He signed an Exhibit-10 contract with the Rockets and played for the Vipers. There is a high probability that he will play for the development league again.
Gerald Green is very popular in Houston, but he has been hidden in the last two preseason games. Green is currently in good physical condition and scored 23 points in 27 minutes on the previous two occasions. I haven't heard that Green is injured, but he didn't play in the last game, and he didn't play this one.
There are only four players who did not play in the Rockets today. The other three are Wall and Cousins who are on breaks and Clemmons who is seriously injured. Silas’ previous speeches have hinted that Green is not a player he badly needs. Some fans also think Green is on the layoff list. In addition, Capoclo, who is also in danger of being waived, played well today and slowly won the trust of the coach. So it is not difficult to draw the conclusion: Green is probably going to meet the fate of being laid off again.
Of course, even if Green is laid off, don't worry too much. If Stone can clear Clemmons through a trade and free up cap space, the Rockets may still sign him back.
