The Rockets' bench depth has increased dramatically, and the Houston Rockets may start a winning streak in the future, and the recent development league recall has attracted attention. New-seeded player Whitmore showed amazing individual ability in his most recent game, which has fans excited about his prospects. His performances in the game have led the management and coaching staff to think about how to maximise his role and what impact it will have on the team's future games.
After beating the Nuggets, the Rockets recalled Amen Thompson from the Development League after he had a big triple-double. Now that the Vipers are left, Whitmore is left, and in order to make himself be recalled, Whitmore does not hide and starts to exert his strength. In today's Vipers' 132-99 win over Birmingham, Whitmore broke out. He shot 15-of-23 from the field and 5-of-11 from three-point range, and recorded 42 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Whitmore scored 18 points in the third quarter, and he was amazing on both ends of the floor.
The sudden rise of Whitmore surprised the Rockets, who were drafted with the 20th pick in the draft. Despite previous rumours that he had been injured, his performances in the summer league, preseason and regular season were impressive. As a rookie, he's shown a pretty high level of confrontation, and with such a tight schedule, there will be a lot of attention to see if his addition can make a difference to the team. Whitmore's youth and talent make for a promising future.
He showed excellent defensive ability and shooting skills on the court, and he was full of energy and could bring new energy and tactical options to the Rockets. How to rationalize Whitmore's playing time has become one of the issues that the team needs to think about. The Rockets currently sit firmly in the middle of the pack with a 10-9 record, but with the expected return of Amen and Whitmore, their bench depth will increase dramatically.
When Van Jordan is off the court, Amen can play the starting point guard organization, and he is still very good defensively, and with Eason and Jalen Green, the Rockets are very hopeful of a wave of wins in the next season. The addition of Whitmore has undoubtedly brought new energy and challenges to the Rockets' roster, and management needs to consider how to maximize his role while maintaining the team's overall stability. Such a decision will have a direct impact on the team's future performance.
The Rockets' success in picking up leaks and improving the depth of the bench makes people look forward to their performance in the next games. Udoka's decisions and the performances of his players will have a direct impact on the team's results, and the question now is how to allocate the playing time of Amen and Whitmore to maximise their impact and help the team on the road to victory.
