The Houston Rockets' reconstruction work is proceeding in an orderly manner. Through a series of operations, the Rockets' lineup has become increasingly younger. Jaylen Green is taken for granted as the absolute core on the road to reconstruction. In addition, Alperon-Shenjing, Jabari Smith and Kevin Porter Jr. are also regarded as key Members, the Rockets have officially entered a new era.
The media talks about the Rockets
Although the offseason is not over halfway, the Rockets' lineup has been basically determined according to the local media, so they summarized what they learned accordingly. In an interview with the media, Rockets head coach Stephen Silas stated that Jaylen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., Alperon Shenjing and Jabari Smith will definitely become the team's starters. This is basically the same as outside predictions. As for the last starting position, the Rockets tend to use this year's No. 17 rookie Tali Eason instead of Eric Gordon or Ja'Shawn Tate, who often started in the starting position last season.
Smith
For this year's No. 3 pick Jabari Smith, the Rockets have received quite a lot of positive comments and believe that Jabari Smith has the team temperament that has been urgently needed. Although his scoring ability is not top-notch, Jabari Smith is regarded as the standard template among modern inside players. He has the potential to do everything and can be called the perfect second or third player. As for Tari Eason, almost all people in the industry believe that the Rockets can get Tari Eason at this position, which can be called the best pick in the draft. Tari Eason has now shown the ability to become a 3D forward. Strength, if he can continue to enhance his independent offense and become an All-Star player, it is entirely possible.
Knicks
As for the team's top backup point guard, the current attitude of the Rockets is to let Daishen-Knicks take this position. Although the performance at the beginning of the Summer League was not good, after adjustments, Dyshon-Nix found a feeling at the end of the Summer League. The Rockets admired his organization, passing and overall view. As for Taytay Washington, the Rockets will patiently train him, but will not let Taytay Washington enter the main rotation for the time being.
Garuba
Like many fans, the Rockets are very disappointed that Usman-Garuba was injured again in the Summer League. It seems that there is not much time left for him. In addition, the Rockets' goal next season is still not to win at all costs, but to strive for a high draft pick as much as possible. The Rockets will not launch an impact on the playoffs until the 23-24 season at the earliest.
