The Development League Rio Grande Valle Vipers have been on high turnover lately. The Rockets first recalled some rookie players to the team, such as Christopher, Garupa and 19-year-old point guard Knicks, in addition, former Vipers small forward Trevlin Quinn, also received a two-way contract from the Rockets, he also became an important member of the Rockets bench.
Don't look at a lot of quality players who have left the Vipers, but the Vipers also have some reinforcements and reinforcements. Terence Ferguson, a former point guard who played for the Thunder, has now officially become a member of the Vipers, and the 23-year-old backcourt player will remain here for some time to come, looking for opportunities to return to the NBA. 36-year-old veteran Gerald Green has also officially resigned from the Rockets' assistant coach position and completed the signing with the Vipers.
Now we've seen the latest developments from Gerald Green, a former Rockets shooter and not-so-long Rockets player development coach, who has now officially reinstated himself as a player — just a development league player. Green also appeared in the Vipers training, showing up at the Vipers training gym and doing warm-up and shooting training. Although he is already an out-of-the-box veteran who is about to retire, Green still feels that he has the ability to fight, so he gave up the Rockets' seemingly idle assistant coaching position and joined the Vipers alone to find his dream.
Gerald Green has started playing for the Vipers, and in this training, we also saw a new Green. The 36-year-old not only looks in good spirits, but his size is also a good fit to be on the basketball court. Although he has not played an official game for more than 2 years, Green is still very disciplined, just so that he can return to the field one day.
In addition to the body type, we also saw the training clothes worn by Gerald Green, which was different from the previous ones. In the past, we used to see Green wearing the Rockets' training clothes and jerseys with the word "Houston" printed on them, but now Green is wearing a black training suit with the name of "Vipers", which is slightly unaccustomed.
But whether it's playing for the Rockets or now playing for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Gerald Green's idea is that as long as he can continue to play as a player, it will be great. Maybe being a coach will not let the extroverted Green have too much sense of accomplishment, only by racing on the basketball court can he truly meet the heart of the Rockets star. Gerald Green doesn't seem to be in the Vipers' official game yet, but we also believe that in the near future, when Green adjusts to his best form, he will appear in the development league game.
