The 21-22 season has come to an end, and whether they are strong or weak, they have some players in their squad who deserve recognition. The Houston Rockets currently have the lowest record in the league, and although they are not prepared to hit the playoffs this season, they still bring some surprises.
Experts talk about rockets
NBA expert Grant Hughes published an article in which he listed the most valuable players, the best defensive players, the best newcomers and the players who brought the most surprises in each team lineup. On the Rockets side, the players on the list are Christian Wood, JesshawN Tate, Jaylen Green and Alperen Schenkin.
Wood
Although Christian Wood is often criticized most of the time, there is no problem with stats saying that he is one of the rocket's best performers this season. Although in the closing stages of the season, Christian Wood was hidden by the Rockets, he averaged a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds per game, and it is true that Christian Wood has shortcomings, but his scoring, rebounding and blocking data are among the best in the Rockets, and the annual salary is only 13 million US dollars, and the overall cost performance is still very high.
Tate
As a losing draft, Jeshaun Tate has only been in the league for two years, but he is the Rockets' number one defensive sapper. Despite being only 1.93 meters tall, Jeshaun Tate has long held the Rockets' fourth position, sometimes even making cameo appearances as small ball center. Jeshaun Tate is a bit like Draymond Green in the Rockets on the defensive end, he is always everywhere, theoretically from the opposing point guard to the small center, obviously this kind of player is also indispensable.
Green
Ahead of All-Star Weekend, Jaylen Green was disappointing, with he was incredibly inefficient on the offensive end and doing nothing defensively. Fortunately, in the past month, Jaylen Green bottomed out, and he scored 20+ points in a row, showing his potential to become a future All-Star player. If Jaylen Green maintains this momentum in the last few games, he will lock in a rookie spot, and the future is unlimited.
Shen Jing
The top rookies are quick to cash in on their talents, but some players, despite not particularly high picks, still show their huge potential, as is the case with rocket interior Alperen Shin kyung. If you only look at the regular data, Alperen Shenjing is not very brilliant, but his ball quotient and overall skills are exciting, don't forget that Alperen Shenjing is only 20 years old now, and his future is quite worth looking forward to.
