The Rockets currently have a 23-27 record, and it must be admitted that such a record is not ideal, and it is not a passing grade, because Udoka started his own formation after joining the team, and he asked for the players he wanted, but the results were not ideal, and he wanted to make the playoffs in the first year. It's impossible, whether you can get into the play-offs or not, if you don't make the play-offs or if you don't make the playoffs, the result is actually the same, just one game. What the rocket needs is a real improvement.
There are many problems with the Rockets, such as Shen Jing, the offense has gone to a higher level, but the defense is not good, especially the anti-blocking and pick-and-roll, and the problem that the white center is too slow to change defenses. The inner line weight is not enough, and the ability to protect the frame is insufficient. Jalen Green, with the ball and the power to attack the frame, is insufficient. Amen's lack of projection, Whitmore's lack of one-man defense, Smith Jr.'s lack of weight, and his lack of inside rim and ball-handling ability are not something that can be done in a day. It's the player's improvement year after year that is key.
Trading? will trade, there will be someone among the six rookies, but Udoka's idea is a little naïve, during the Celtics period, the offense mainly relied on Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the defense mainly relied on changing defenses, there was a healthy Lowe on the inside, and Whitesmart and Tatum and Jaylen Brown on the outside changed defenses, it was difficult to prevent it, he wanted to bring such a system to the Rockets, it depends on the follow-up, maybe the results will be out at four o'clock in the morning tomorrow, and if you can't sleep, just squat and guard, the final transaction is likely to be an unexpected result.
