Beijing time on March 11, the Rockets after the victory over the Lakers, the confidence of the players is high, tomorrow morning the Rockets and the Lone Rangers game, it seems that the Rockets are a higher morale side, but the Rockets also have some problems in this game, the previous game was absent wood, Tate, this game may continue to be absent, and the previous game against the old owner Lakers performed well, a single game contributed 12 points and 6 assists schroeder, may not play.
The news given by the Rockets today is that the state of Tate, Schroeder and Wood is "out of doubt", that is, their probability of playing is only 50%, although it is an improvement over the previous game, but this makes the Rockets fall behind in terms of lineup integrity. In addition to these injured players, the Rockets also made a "small adjustment" to their roster today.
The Rockets have reportedly sent 25-year-old guard Trevlin Quinn to the Development League. Not long ago, the Rockets had to recall the Rockets from the Vipers of the Development League due to multiple injuries, so the management had to recall the Rockets from the Vipers of the Development League, but with the return of players such as Gordon and Porter Jr., the Rockets really did not need so many people in the backcourt. In particular, the No. 2 position is the position with the largest number of people available to the Rockets, and Quinn, the fringe player who plays the No. 2 position, naturally has no chance.
It is worth mentioning that Quinn was sent to the Vipers, but his teammate Daishin Knicks was not sent down. The Knicks are still with the Rockets and have not returned to the Vipers with Quinn. The reason is also very simple, Porter Jr. has not long recovered from injury, Schroeder's ankle injury has been repeated, the next game against the Lone Rangers may not be able to play, in order to be foolproof, Silas still chose to keep the Knicks in the team, in case of emergency.
Look at Trevlin Quinn, the 25-year-old fringe guard who has a two-way contract from the Rockets this season, arguably the least valued of the Rockets' 16 players. Quinn played a total of 10 games for the Rockets this season, averaging 4.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 7.4 minutes per game, shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three-point range. Although it seems to be efficient, in fact, Quinn's appearance time is concentrated in "garbage time", and his appearance is just to go up and brush the data, which is very watery.
Why didn't Silas reuse Quinn? The reason is simple — there are too many Rockets' point guards/small forwards. Quinn already has too many players in the No. 2 position, and the Rockets have Jaylen Green, Gordon, Christopher, Matthews, and Nuwaba in the No. 2 position, so how many opportunities are left for Quinn to play? Even Porter Jr. can play as a shooting guard, and it's no exaggeration to say that Quinn has no chance in the Rockets.
Quinn's best way out in the future is to brush up on the Vipers, play well, and find another team to join in this offseason, which is far more opportunity than staying with the Rockets.
