The United States classifies NBA point guards, and the Rockets rank third in the main control!
The American newspaper "Sogbasketball" recently released a list of the best defensive players in the NBA, with a total of 39 players participating, of which Rockets owner VanVleet ranked third.
In this lineup, there are 5 players in the starting lineup, namely Doncic, Alexander, Haliburton, Booker, Curry. In the second pot are five players, namely Brunson, Jamal Murray, Lillard, Trae Young, Maxey. LaMelo, White, Afennit Simmons, Harden, VanVleet, Fox, all came in third. There are 7 people on the fourth floor, namely: Garland, Russell, Cunningham, Jones, Conley, Dunn, and White. Schroder, Giillard, McConnell, Trey Jones, Cole Anthony, Dinwiddie, Pippen Jr., Susser. In sixth place are: Lekier, Payne, Craig Porter, Micic, Alvarado, Lowry, Goodwin, Keeon George.
The list is considered to be quite a controversial list. And, I feel like Van Vleet is overrated. He didn't make too many mistakes in his performance, but as the captain of a team, he had a lot of problems both offensively and defensively. In terms of attack, because of his physical condition, he is not tall and does not move quickly enough, so his attacks rarely involve defense, but more after blocking and shooting. Defensively, although he has good fitness and a good defensive posture, this does not hide his shortcomings in height. Grant hit a beautiful three-pointer, which was over his head. This situation abounds on the pitch, and as soon as he plays, he will be targeted by opponents. Therefore, it is good to be ranked 4th or 5th, both in terms of strength and actual work.
