Recently, Rockets reporter Jonathan Fagan wrote an article in the Houston Chronicle, revealing the team's strategy and future plans.
Fagan said the Rockets' main strategy this season is to experiment with the roster and find the real cornerstone of the team. At present, the Rockets have six rookies, although all of them are talented, but none of them have shown the potential of superstars, so Udoka is still looking for rookies suitable for development.
Previously, Udoka experimented with the tactics of using Shen Jing as the offensive axis, and on the whole, Shen Jing's performance was quite qualified;Later, he supported Jalen Green, but this leader didn't seem to be on the phone with Udoka's system, and he never played the performance Udoka wanted to seeRecently, Udoka has been watching the performances of Smith Jr., Amen Thompson and Whitmore, and the potential of these three is significantly higher than that of the top two.
Tari Ethan is still recovering from an injury, and after early experiments, Ethan has been approved by Udoka.
Finally, Fagan talked about future plans, saying that the Rockets will remain aggressive in the trade market this summer, trading young players and first-round picks for one or two stars to help the Aerospace City really take off next season.
