Beijing time on July 15, the Houston Rockets lost 77-85 to the Portland Trail Blazers and missed their third consecutive victory. The Rockets were still overturned in this game. The Rockets led by 14 points in the first quarter but began to collapse in the second quarter. They lost by 9 points in the second quarter and 14 points in the third quarter. They failed to restore the decline in the final quarter. However, there are also highlights such as No. 1 overall pick Smith, No. 17 overall pick Ethan, and Daishen-Knicks all scoring in double figures.
The Rockets' three rookies in this year's draft all performed well in this campaign. Smith, the third pick, scored 19 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block on 7-of-13 shooting; Ethan, the No. 17 pick, scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals on 7-of-19 shooting. 2 blocks; No. 29 pick Washington scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block on 2-of-8 shooting.
Obviously the most stable one is Tali Eason. He is the only one who has scored in double figures in all four games of the Rockets summer league. Jabari Smith, the third overall pick, is far behind him. Tari Eason is the Rockets' biggest player in this year's draft. Harvest, it's surprising that such a forward didn't enter the lottery.
has something to say. Thunder selected small forward Ousmane Dieng with the 11th pick in the first round, which is several levels behind Ethan. The small forward AJ Griffin selected by the Hawks with the 16th pick also has a very low shooting percentage. Not to mention that Raphael Stone has great vision.
Ethan averaged 16.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in these four games, shooting 43.5% from the field and 35.3% from the three-point range. His weakest link is the three-point shooting, which he was not very good at in college. Three-pointers, his future efforts will be three-pointers, but he is already the strongest presence of this Summer League Rockets.
Rockets reporter Alykhan Bijani posted Ethan's physical measurement data. He is 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters) tall and has a wingspan of 7 feet 2 inches (2.18 meters). He can defend from the first position to the fifth position. In the Summer League, Ethan had scenes where he defended Benqueiro (position 5), Keon Johnson, (position 2), and Wesley (2-3 swing). He can really defend from one to five. .
Ethan is not like the third overall pick Smith, who has been promised to start by Silas . He will start the new season as Tate's substitute, but in the future he will definitely become the main force of the Rockets. His talent and ability are perfectly adapted. Youth Army Rockets.
