Udoka estimates that he and the management have agreed to give up on the season. In fact, everyone has a certain understanding of the fact that the Rockets do not have the strength of the playoffs or even the playoffs this season.
The staffing did not meet the ideal expectations, first of all, the 70 million annual salaries of Dillon and Van Jordan Landale did not bring about qualitative changes. That is to say, 70 million are scattered, and it is estimated that they have not yet obtained a superstar. It can be said that the recruitment is a failure, these people together are not even half of Harden's ability, and we see that Udoka's so-called remarks that he has not missed the playoffs are still based on the gold content of the player.
You know that even at the end of his prime, Harden still has a huge impact on the game, and Udoka's so-called egalitarianism has always been too idealistic, which undoubtedly strengthens the management's determination to develop young people and abandon the illusion that a few green veterans can take the team to the playoffs and beyond. So we can see that Udoka has given a lot of time to the rookies, Green to take on more of the ball, Amen to have more ball-handling offense, and to give time to marginal players like Williams even if the team doesn't have a center.
This is helplessness and reality, that is, if you don't practice, it is impossible for newcomers to practice, so the lack of operation and buyout on deadline has quietly announced that the team will give up the competition for this season. It is also clear to see the fact that the team rebuilding cannot take shortcuts. The Rockets' extensive injuries also indicate that this season is not the first year of the Rockets' revival, so we can only wait for the six sons to continue to grow, and at the moment we have no leader, only Green can carry some things by improving his physical confrontation and control, which is certainly not something that can be achieved overnight, and can only rely on the long offseason to continue to practice hard.
I also believe that these young people have a positive and enterprising heart, and they are not afraid of slowness, they are afraid of not growing, so we just need to wait for the flowers to bloom. Jalen Green needs to improve the aspects of the Rockets' six sons: Jalen Green needs to improve defense and projection stability, Jalen Green has been in the league for three years, but his weakness is still particularly obvious, Jalen Green's defense is mainly bad attitude and poor confrontation, which can be improved in the later stage, Silas wants to train Jalen Green into a pure scoring guard, and Udoka wants to train Jalen Green into a two-way guard, at present, Jalen Green may not really play until next season.
Shen Jing: Improve the ability to protect the frame and defend, recently Shen Jing's defense is simply full of holes, the defensive end is the eye defense, and the offensive end has also begun to be abnormal, if Shen Jing's offensive strength and weak defense problem cannot be solved, then the offseason Rockets are estimated to trade him.
Jabari Smith: Improve the stability of the projection and the offensive ability with the ball, the advantages of good projection during the draft did not show in the NBA, and the offensive ability with the ball also needs to be improved.
Ethan: Improve shooting stability, Ethan is a hexagonal warrior who will give the Rockets a lot of rebounds and vitality on the court, but he lacks consistent shooting ability and can improve in the future.
Amen Thompson: You have to practice shooting in the offseason, Amen Thompson is now lacking in projection ability, resulting in limited offensive ability, Amen Thompson has better talent than Jalen Green, but he really needs to develop his projection ability, otherwise his ceiling will not be too high.
Whitmore: Improve his passing ability, Whitmore's style of play is too lonely, which is also his biggest shortcoming, his style of play is a bit like Rukawa Kaede in the early days of the slam dunk master, with strong individual ability but lack of team awareness, which is also an aspect he needs to improve.
