The Rockets won 4 first-round picks in one go at last year's draft, and the fans of these 4 players are also full of expectations, the list of the show Green is seen as Kobe Jordan, the No. 16 show Shin Kyung has Jokic-like talent, the No. 23 show Garruba from Real Madrid has an excellent height arm span, is regarded as a black and hard representative, and the No. 24 show Christopher is also not to be underestimated. But half a season has passed, and garruba, the No. 23 of the Rockets' 4 players, may be out of the way.
Since the new season, the Rockets have formulated different trainings, of which Green and Shen Jing are the focus of training, but the team has not ignored Garupa and Christopher, in many cases it still gives the two of them some playing time, but the contrast between Garupa and Christopher on the court is great, Christopher is always passionate on the court, can seize the limited opportunity to express himself, and Garuba is like a stuffy gourd, giving people the feeling of lack of passion on the court, As a result, Christopher won a rotation seat in the Rockets rotation, while Garruba was sent to the Development League.
Logically, Garupa is the first round of the 24th show, in the NBA on the field of performance is not bad is not blamed, after all, is a rookie, but everyone still expects him to be able to kill in the game of the development league, after all, the two leagues are different levels, but Garuba's performance is really too disappointing, the development of the league's new season began 5 games, Garuba averaged 25 minutes of playing time per game, only 9 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists of the data into the account, including 45% shooting percentage, 11% three-point shooting, It can be said to be quite bad.
The reason why the Rockets selected Garupa is his performance on the defensive end, whether it is from his small sample data on the Rockets or the data of the development league, he has a good performance on the defensive end, but his biggest problem is on the offensive end, as a Player 4 and No. 5, Garuba's offensive performance is too poor, there is no stable three-point projection ability on the outside line, there is no good finishing skills on the inside, and his shortcomings are also vividly displayed in the game of the development league. He only scored four points in his most recent game against the Salt Lake City Stars in five games, and considering that the Vipers won 146:122 in this game, you can imagine what Garruba is in on the field, and it is not too much to have no sense of presence. In those 5 games, he scored the most points only 13 points, shooting 5 of 10 from the field, 3 of 3 from three points, and it is worth mentioning that in these 5 games he only hit 1 three-pointer.
The development league can't brush out the data, and there is really no one, it is no wonder that in the past, Silas has been reluctant to give Garuba playing time, and now it seems that the Rockets' 4 first-round show Garuba is likely to be water...
