Last season, the Houston Rockets ushered in the most difficult moment in team history. They successively sent away , Westbrook and James Harden, becoming the league's least talented team; Olynick, Bradley, Oladipo and other great champions arrived, but unfortunately they did not have enough ability to change the status quo. The team finally ended the regular season journey with the league's penultimate.
The results are undoubtedly bleak, but Stone did not give up the team, but actively built a competitive team around Wood; Tate was excavated from the Australian league In the second round, Martin Jr. was bought, and they also sent a second round pick in exchange for Kevin Porter. These newcomers played well in a certain period of time.
In the July draft, the Houston Rockets held the second pick, the 23rd and 24th picks in the first round. They picked Jaylen Green, Garuba, and Christopher. After learning about Shen Jing’s draft When the draft fell sharply, they used the next two first-round picks to trade for the 16th pick and used it to win the Turkish center as they wished.
Judging from the summer league games, Jaylen Green is still very young and it will take some time to grow into an organizational core, but he does have scoring ability and elite athletic ability. It is the core of the rocket for the next ten years. Shen Jing's passing ability, sense of the ball and basketball IQ showed incisively and vividly in the game, that is, his finishing ability is a little bit worse. As long as this aspect is improved, he will be the next All-Star; and Spanish forward Usman Garuba's ability to protect the frame The ability to move quickly on the defensive end also left a deep impression on everyone; as for Christopher, who has the potential to become the next "Super Sixth Man", his scoring ability is not worse than Gordon.
Now less than two weeks before the start of the training camp,All teams are preparing for the new season. The Rockets will first go to Bahamas to conduct private training camps; According to team reporter Kelly Iko, the Rockets’ Bahamas training camp has a significant effect. The training enthusiasm of the whole team is high, and has a lot of good cooperation; it is worth mentioning that Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter always stay together for training, and in one-on-one confrontation, Green Both offensive and defensive ends crush and porter.
Some time ago, the voting results for the best rookie were released. Green force pressed the champion Cade- and Cunningham at the top, and he was far ahead of other young players, so you can know how much he is. Excellent. In fact, not only Green, but the Rockets team is worth looking forward to. As long as Green and Porter continue to train hard and accelerate their growth, under the leadership of Silas , the Rockets will set off a youth storm in the league.
