The Rockets beat the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. In this game, the Rockets' rookie Jaylen Green played back, he shot 6 of 13 in 36 minutes, 3 of 7 three-pointers, including hitting a key three-pointer in the fourth quarter, 21 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 0 turnovers, making Jaylen Green once again the focus of the game.
However, compared to Jaylen Green, the Cavaliers' Scouting center Mobley seems to have performed better and more consistently. In terms of statistics, Mobley shot 12 of 20 from the field and 5 of 9 from the free throw line in 36 minutes, and shot down 29 points, 12 rebounds and 1 steal. But in the end, the Rockets laughed to the end, and Jaylen Green was instrumental. But look at Jaylen Green's previous performance, he played very badly, and even fell out of the top 10 positions in the latest rookie list.
So missing Mobley and selecting Jaylen Green with the eye of the list is not a mistake made by the Rockets? Silas also commented on this, saying that the selection of Jaylen Green had nothing to do with him, and it was all planned by Rockets general manager Rafael Stone. But Silas's sharp words still affirmed The performance of Jaylen Green, who said that Green is stable, hard-working, has a good arm span and good athleticism, and he will also be a very versatile player inside and outside.
Speaking about Raphael Stone's forward core Tate, interior newcomer Shin Kyung and rookie Jaylen Green brought to the Rockets, Silas said that the Rockets' three people entered this season's All-Star Rookie Challenge, which means that Stone has chosen the right person and the team has made some progress. Even Silas said that Shen Jing was an unexpected surprise for the Rockets, and before the draft, the Rockets did not know what kind of player Shin Kyung was, and the Rockets did not know that Shen Jing would become one of the 12 best rookies of the year.
In 2 years, the Rockets signed the current front core Jeshaun Tate from the overseas league with a basic salary contract, Stone also selected Green with the eye of the list, and also exchanged the Thunder's first round of 16 rookie Shen Jing through a deal, these 3 deals or drafts, not only to the Rockets 2 years to add 3 new people, these 3 newcomers may be the core players of the Rockets' respective positions in the future. This is indeed the credit of Raphael Stone, although Jaylen Green's performance is average, but Silas still believes that Jaylen Green has some potential.
But missing out on Center Mobley, who just exploded 26 points and 12 rebounds, was the Rockets' biggest misstep! Rockets coach Silas, when talking about this topic, directly brushed it over, did not say anything more, and even said that this was all Stone's doing. Apparently, silas wasn't happy that the Rockets missed Mobley and chose Jaylen Green.
But at this point, Jaylen Green is already a member of the Rockets, nothing can be changed, Silas can only stop talking deeply, the topic has been brushed over, missed one of the best rookies of this year's Mobley, perhaps still let the Rockets and Silas angry about it. Despite the strengths of Green, Shinkin and Tate, Mobley is clearly more of a future superstar, missing him, and the Rockets may have a few more years to rebuild.
