What is the most reasonable lineup structure for a team?
For the championship team, it needs at least two superstars, and then paired with supporting roles suitable for these superstars, these supporting roles can either open up space, or move to eat cake players, and these supporting roles occupy relatively low salaries, basically out of the basic salary or so, but can contribute much higher than the basic salary.
For rebuilding the team, the team needs to focus on the development of young players, there are some veterans can bring these young players, there are also some functional players, to connect the age group of the team, so that young players grow faster.
So, for rebuilding the team, is it not the more young players the better?
The answer is no, each team's rotation of players is limited, and the focus of the development of players is basically fixed, as other young players, the team's training order must have a priority standard, it is impossible to cultivate patience and cycle for all young players, it is impossible to cultivate all young players at the same time.
For the rebuilding team of young players too many, but also very test these rebuilding teams, especially the Thunder and Pistons, how to focus on cultivating young players, has become a must for these teams to do their homework, and for the Rockets, such a problem is not small.
At present, the number of young players on the Rockets is still very large, almost half of the players on the team are young players, especially this summer, the Rockets selected four young players in one go, Green, Shinkin, Garupa and Christopher, but the Rockets cannot cultivate these players at the same time.
At present, the focus of rocket training is the core training of Porter and Green, these two players as the Rockets attach the most importance to the cultivation of players, followed by the rocket's second important training of Shen Jing, and then the cultivation of Christopher and Garuba.
Due to the injuries suffered by Green and Porter, the rockets, as a rebuilding team, did not improve the position cultivated by Shin Kyung, and the playing time was not significantly improved, and in the case of the rockets encountering many injuries, Christopher stood out and officially entered the rotation and became a player that the Rockets intended to cultivate.
This season, Christopher played in 18 games for the Rockets, averaging 4.4 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.6 steals per game in 9.4 minutes, shooting 47.7 percent from the field, 50 percent from three-point range and 77.8 percent from the free throw line.
In terms of such statistics, Christopher did not enter the team's regular rotation, but in recent years, Christopher's various statistics have improved, whether it is playing time, number of shots, or scoring.
In the last three games, Christopher has had 23 minutes, 13 minutes and 21 minutes of playing time, shooting 7-of-7, 3-of-6 and 5-of-9 from the field, with 18, 7 and 12 points, respectively.
From recent times, Silas used Christopher mainly with his defense, against the Nets, Silas used Christopher against Harden, against the Grizzlies, Silas used Christopher against Dillon Brooks, against the Bucks, and Silas used Christopher against Holliday.
Christopher can bring great enthusiasm and energy on the defensive end, especially the winding energy, prompting the opponent to play uncomfortable, although Christopher's defensive position is problematic, often appear to be one step over, but Christopher's defensive concentration during the game is good, often can steal the opponent.
In the case that the defensive end can meet Silas's expectations, Christopher can also contribute on the offensive end, Christopher's three-point projection is very good, can stand up when the Rockets need to score, although many times the three-point shot is extremely difficult, but Christopher can score, when Christopher is in the bench connection section, it is the Rockets that need to continue the offense, Christopher can digest the ball, and can also connect the offense.
From the current point of view, the Rockets this year's selection of the four rookies, Shen Jing performed the best, Christopher is full of highlights, his performance is even better than Jaylen Green, from this point of view, focusing on the cultivation of Christopher is not a bad choice, Christopher is relying on his own ability to enter the rotation, from the perspective of this way of entering the rotation, Christopher deserves more playing time.
