The Rockets have been on a high and low pitch this year, and at the beginning of the season, the team spent a lot of money to bring in strong reinforcements, and Udoka has also built a team that combines old and new to play well for a while. However, as the season progressed, the team's problems were gradually exposed, mainly in two aspects: the obvious shortcomings of the squad and the lack of growth of young players. The first to bear the brunt is Jalen Green, who has been extremely inconsistent this year and has been DNP by Udoka many times. Still, there were surprises from among the young players.
NBA data expert Hollinger recently posted a Rockets No. 20 show Whitmore data, the White Devils average 18The 3 points are the best of any non-center rookie this year, with a huge lead, and the way the 19-year-old plays already gives a lot of hope for his future development. The White Devils are scoring 34 points per 100 possessions, while Wembanyama is only 33With 8 points, he also surpassed half of the players who participated in the All-Star Game this year, still with 592% true hit rate accomplishes this feat.
From this data, you can see the high offensive talent of the White Devils, no wonder they were favored to the top five before the draft. Looking at the performance of the White Devils in recent times, his biggest advantage is that he is very strong, if Udoka does not hold him down at the beginning of the season and let him enter the rotation early, then he will have come out on top, and may even replace Green as an early starter. Compared with third-year Green, the obvious advantage of the White Devils is the finishing efficiency under the basket and the ability to catch three-pointers, which is really much higher than Green's ball quotient and body.
Looking at the performance of the White Devils now, who would have thought that he would fall to the 20th pick all of a sudden, if he stays healthy in the future and improves his defensive and tactical discipline, he will really become the leader of the 23rd class of rookies. As for why the White Devil fell sharply in the first place, there are rumors in the outside world for two reasons, one is injury, and the other is personality. Now let's take a look at it, I think the White Devils have a good character, and he was able to lie down and try his courage after being so suppressed at the beginning of the season, which proves that he is not a stubborn thorn player. As for health, there are constant dunks on the court, and even the All-Star Game wants to invite him to dunk, most likely because the Rockets put smoke bombs before the draft. Champion
