Beijing time on December 29, 4 consecutive defeats of the Rockets today at home to meet the Los Angeles Lakers, this game for the Rockets has a lot of good news, first of all, the Rockets' double guard Jaylen Green and Porter finally came back at the same time, in fact, when the Rockets played the Pacers, Jaylen Green has already returned, and scored 20 points in 25 minutes, but Porter Jr. has not returned, but in this game, Little Porter also ushered in his debut after his comeback.
In addition to the return of the Rockets Twins guard, the team has signed a new contract with a development league rookie player, the 23-year-old lost rookie De Joan Jarrow. As we all know, the Rockets' 4 players Ken young Martin Jr., Matthews, Tate, and Augustine all triggered a health and safety agreement and could not play for a short time, so the Rockets used a "difficult exception" to sign the 18th person in the lineup.
In fact, the NBA has long stipulated that a team can only have a maximum of 15 official contract players, plus 2 two-way contract players, the Rockets before signing Jarrow, the 17-man lineup is full, but because many people can trigger the agreement can not play, the Rockets can still use difficult exceptions to sign another person. So the 23-year-old Jarrow was lucky enough to become the 18th man in the Space City lineup.
Compared with the Rockets' point guards Porter Jr. and Augustine, Jarrow's body shape is not outstanding, although he has a height of 1 meter 96, which is relatively good in the No. 1 player, but his weight is only 84 kilograms, which is very thin for an NBA player. Although being underweight gives a player first-class speed and agility, the player's ability to fight is correspondingly much worse.
It seems that the Rockets signed this "thin and tall" player, but only for the temporary rescue, and after the 4 players who triggered the agreement returned to the team, the next thing the Rockets had to do was probably to cut Jarrow.
Jarrow has only played once in the NBA for the Pacers this season, and the only one he's played is just one minute. However, in the development of the Wizards of the team, Jarrow's performance is still good, he can average 9.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in 10 development league games, and the three-point shooting rate is also very good, reaching 38.1%, although it is not a super first-class shooter, but in the case of the Rockets need a three-point shooting guard, Jarrow is very in line with Silas's tactical requirements.
How long Jarrow can play in the Rockets depends on his own performance in training and games, and second, it depends on the injury situation of the Rockets, if those missing players return to the team quickly, I think Jarrow is just a "hurry" in the Rockets.
