averaged 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.7 steals in three games.
only looks at the surface. This statistics will give people the feeling of an all-round warrior, able to attack and defend.
But if you add in 16 shots per game, 39.6% field goal percentage, 12.5% three-point shooting percentage, and 2.3 turnovers, it will be another level of sensory effect, commonly known as a brush.
The player who produced this data is named Christopher.
20-year-old Christopher is a shooting guard who is only 1.91 meters tall. He was selected by the Rockets with the 24th overall pick in the first round last year.
To this day, I still don't understand the significance of the Rockets selecting him with the 24th pick.
Because before Christopher, the Rockets had just picked Jaylen Green with the second pick.
The two of them not only have a simple positional conflict, but also have very similar playing styles and technical characteristics.
As long as Jaylen Green remains healthy, Christopher will remain in a backup role.
Could it be that the Rockets management never thought of letting the latter start from the beginning?
If you really didn't think about letting Christopher start, then the problem arises again. Many newcomers in the
team need to gain experience through games. Why should the former have sole possession of the ball in the summer league? In the three games that
has played, Christopher is the worst performer. Except for the offensive end,
did not show any other highlights. He played alone, did not defend, and had a low assist-to-turnover ratio.
When Christopher got the ball, young players such as Ethan, Tyty, and Smith Jr. could only pull away to watch him play in singles.
The summer league is a stage for rookies to grow, but the Rockets, who are in the rebuilding period, cannot let Christopher alone grow.
Christopher's talent is worthy of his selection, but at present, his style does not seem to be suitable for Rockets .
firstly plays alone, secondly has no defense, and finally has poor shooting ability.
During the regular season, Christopher's three-point shooting percentage was only 29.6%. In the lower-intensity summer league, he did not advance but retreated, and his shooting percentage further dropped to only 12.5%. People can't help but wonder what his offseason will be. There is no training.
Among players who took at least one three-pointer per game in the Summer League, Christopher ranked second to last in field goal percentage.
The Rockets have influx of more newcomers in the new season. Is there really any chance for him to continue making mistakes?
With the No. 24 pick, the probability of making a mistake is getting bigger and bigger.
