Against the Suns, the Rockets only lost to the Suns by 3 points, and in this game, because of Porter Jr.'s absence, Silas mentioned the team's new signing Schroeder to the starting position, and In this game, Schroeder also performed very well, handing over 23 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds in 39 minutes, compared with the last game against the Jazz bench to hand over 4 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds. The most critical thing is that in this game, from the sensory point of view, Schroeder sorted out the team's offense in an orderly manner, and the team's rookie Green is also very in place, this game Green played 35 minutes to hand over 17 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist data, including 12 shots 5, 3 of 3 three points, 4 of 5 free throws, plus and minus +11 tied with the team's No. 16 xiu ShenJing, and therefore many fans expect Schroeder to return expectations, expecting him to replace Porter Jr., thinking that he will be the answer to the Rockets' backcourt.
But in fact, Schroeder's existence is not much benefit to the Rockets, and it is undeniable that his performance against the Suns is really good from the basic data, but from the perspective of the Rockets' cultivation of rookies, it has a huge impact, which can be reflected in high-level data. Let's take a look at Schroeder's impact on Green, the green use rate against the Suns is only 16.9%, the team contribution value is 4.2, while the average use rate of Green this season is 22.5%, and the contribution value to the team is 6.7. Against the Suns, Green only said that he was better in offensive efficiency, but in the game, many times he still followed the team in the turning back, more ball rights were concentrated in The hands of Schroeder, it was difficult for Green to have a chance to touch the ball, so is this really a good thing for cultivating Green?
In the last game against the Jazz, Schroder came off the bench to eat almost all of Christopher's playing time, and Christopher only got 10 minutes of playing time, against the Suns, although Schroder entered the starting lineup, but the playing time increased greatly, which also affected Christopher's playing time, this game Christopher only had 1 minute more playing time than the last game, so is this the result that the Rockets want?
Not to mention that Schroeder is not a stable player, in the past in the Lakers when he showed particularly obvious, he started better than the bench, the ball is better than no ball, against the Suns This game is only his good offensive efficiency, but it is difficult for him to maintain this efficiency, which is why he did not want it last offseason, the reason why he was traded to the Rockets by the Green Army. In fact, the best solution for the Rockets is to buy out Schroeder, and Stone chose to keep him only in the hope that he can play a good performance in the Rockets, brush out beautiful data, and wait until after entering the offseason to use him to complete a first-and-later trade to reduce the losses in the Thesis trade. Of course, if he can't play the effect the team wants, he may be bought out at any time, so there is no need to have high hopes for Schroeder.
