In all of the Rockets' recent games, all of the players have not been absent due to injury. In addition to Wall training alone in Miami, since no players were injured, the Rockets management also sent several players who could not play the rotation position to the Development League Vipers. The three players are: 19-year-old point guard Knicks, 19-year-old big forward/center Garruba and 24-year-old swingman Quinn.
For forward Quinn and point guard Knicks, it's perfectly normal for them to play in the development league. After all, both of them are unsuccessful players, in the draft conference they are not much attention, in the Rockets they only signed a two-way contract, can not expect every Rockets two-way contract players will "evolve" into Garrison Matthews-style fierce generals, the future of these 2 people may not be in the Rockets.
It's pretty good to have their spot on the Rockets. However, compared to Quinn and the Knicks, the Rockets' Spanish big forward can be said to be the only rookie player in the Rockets' four rookies this year who has not "landed". In contrast, Jaylen Green, Christopher and Shin Kyung have already occupied a rotation position in the Rockets, and even Jaylen Green has become one of the Rockets' main 5 Tigers. Shin Kyung and TOEFL also performed eye-catching in their positions, and there is a great potential for the cornerstone of the future Rockets.
It's just that Garruba is quite unlucky, when he first came to the Rockets, he and Christopher played together in the development league, but then many of the Rockets' outside players were injured, Christopher took this opportunity to be recalled to the Rockets, and then with a series of eye-catching performances, directly occupied the Rockets' rotation position, and even squeezed Nuwaba, House and other famous players to the bench.
What about Garruba? He has played very limited numbers of appearances in the Rockets' more than half a season, and the Rockets have already had a fixed rotation of players in the center position and the big forward position. In the big forward position, there is Tate, Martin Jr., wood can also make a cameo in the No. 4 position from time to time, and in the rockets center position, Wood, Shen Jing and Theis are the three towers that can't move.
Garuba has a knack for him, but he doesn't have a place on the Rockets. Now it is hard to catch up with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - Shin Kyung has just recovered from injury, and Theis has been put on the shelf by the Rockets, and may leave at any time, it is the time when Garupa is competing for the rotation position, but unfortunately, at this time, Garuba is injured. Rockets' big forward Garruba is expected to be out for 6 to 8 weeks due to wrist surgery.
That is to say, in the next 2 months, we will not see this young man who claims that the template is "Dream Green". What about after 2 months? At that time, the Rockets' regular season was basically over, and Garupa needed a period of recovery even if he returned to the team, and the Rockets had no place for him at that time.
Garuba's injury even affected his position next season, Wood and Shin Kyung's combination is the first choice for the Rockets, and this summer's draft, it is expected that the Rockets will choose a front-line or interior player to focus on training, plus the Rockets may get more first-round picks or second-round picks, the selected players do not rule out that there are a number of interior rookies, Garuba next season's competitive challenges may be more severe than this season. I have to say that Garupa should be the rocket's most bitter rookie, there is a chance to appear, but he was accidentally injured. I also hope that Garupa can get better as soon as possible, and look forward to fighting again next season.
