In the offseason of the 2021 season, the Rockets selected Green with the eye of the list, picked up the Turkish MVP Shenjing with the 16th pick, and pushed Porter Jr. to the position of starting point guard, plus the rookie Tate and Martin Jr., who performed well last season, and then matched with mature ready-to-play players such as Gordon, Wood, and Theis, it looks like the new season will set off a storm of youth and play a better record, in fact, halfway through the season, the team's record is still at the bottom of the Western Conference, the transformation of the struggling Little Porter, "brush data" Wood, It has become the object of criticism from fans.
In the game against the Suns, Porter Jr. and Wood were absent, the Rockets played back and forth with the opponent, and finally only lost the opponent by 3 points, which confirmed the side effects of the two, just traded to the team's first game Of The Schroder played a comprehensive data of 23 points, 6 boards and 9 assists, more importantly, the team played a rare smooth game this season, felt the significance of excellent point guards for the team, in the game we saw Schroeder more than once called the Rockets players during the suspension to discuss tactics, Not only that, but this game also allowed the Rockets to see the fit of Green and Shinkin, of course, provided the team had a real point guard.
Green is the best show, this season's average of 14.4 points, 3.2 boards and 2.3 assists per game is not bad, but his shooting rate is only 38.3%, playing a little cringe on the field, did not show his talent should be the strength, the biggest reason is that he and his teammates are incompatible, this season Green is with Little Porter, Wood at the same time, Little Porter does not have the control and vision of point guards, playing recklessly, it is difficult to drive teammates, and Wood as an interior lineman likes to attack with the ball, unwilling to block, Not wanting to do dirty work, resulting in Green often not being able to touch the ball on the field, can only turn back to run, or catch the ball in a hurry when there is not much offensive time left, it is difficult to play his advantage.
Rockets lack a real point guard, affected by far more than Green alone, the team offseason introduction of Theis, is to see his ability to block and dismantle, but Porter Jr. is more suitable for disrupting the battle, he is not a traditional point guard, the ability to handle the ball after the blocking and demolition is too poor, resulting in Theis is difficult to integrate into the team system, saying that these are not completely denying The strength of Little Potter, but the difficulty of transformation is too great, especially the position of point guard, talent is more important than effort, Little Porter's positioning is more suitable for the front guard swing man, If you stick to the starter you can top the position of a small forward, of course, the best result is to become the best sixth person.
The Rockets insist on making Porter Jr. the starting point guard this season, it is likely to be in the next big game, that is, the Rockets need this year's high pick picks, just imagine Schroeder can make the Rockets become so smooth, the team bench is also a 40 million top point guard, although plagued by injuries, but in addition to the outside projection, Wall's organizational ability and breakthrough ability is definitely stronger than Schroeder's, if Wall and Green match the backcourt, Green's play will definitely be much better than now, but if Wall plays, The team's record will be on the edge of the playoffs, this is not the result that the Rockets hope to get, for Rockets fans, this season's patience is for the future re-launch, let's wait and see!
