First, the Rockets originally planned to choose the Pomzi driver. Pomzi can play, has a little defense, has shooting, has ball-handling, and is still very suitable for the Rockets today. But the Warriors are in front, and there's not much to say.
But it can be proved that the Rocket Scouting Department plus the Five Poison Cards, the vision is still okay. So for Amen and Whitmore, you can still look forward to it.
Second, Whitmore weighs a lot, but the impact speed, traverse speed, and bounce are all very top-notch. The dynamics are very good. Amen is about 200 pounds, and Whitmore is 235 pounds.
Conclusion 1, Whitmore's confrontation ability, there is a high probability that it can be translated to the regular season. If Whitmore comes up to play, it shouldn't be too bad.
Conclusion 2, Whitmore is so strong and weighs so much, the style of play will have a certain amount of wear and tear on the body. So Whitmore's direction has been significantly increased by three points lately, which makes perfect sense. Whitmore shot 39 from three-point range8% is very good. This is one aspect of a successful workout.
Third, why Whitmore has been developing the league.
I think, so to speak, if Whitmore is brought up to play now, there is a high probability that the future after the rookie contract will be a player with an annual salary of tens of millions. And if you get rid of the problem and come up again, you will go to 2000+.
At present, there are three problems, and the remaining two are not focused enough on defense and not sharing the ball enough. It's relatively easy to force him to change now. If you play a little bit of stats in the regular season, it's even harder to change it. It's the problem of the round face. Small problems are easy to change early, and sheep herding has become a chronic disease for a few years.
If you don't share the ball enough, then he is an endpoint, either scoring or giving the opponent the ball, and can't give empty teammates a chance, which is not in line with the idea of team basketball.
