Although the Rockets ended the season early, their subordinate development league reached the Finals, and finally after two games with the 76ers' team, the Blueshirts, the Vipers once again successfully won the championship. And as you know, development league teams are an important part of sending players to NBA teams, especially the Rockets' subordinate development league Vipers, which will cultivate some players for the team almost every season, and this season is the same.
You remember, after the end of this season's trade day, the Rockets made some personnel adjustments, they first gave Matthews a formal contract, and then signed a two-way contract with the player of the development league, Quinn, with the vacated place, and from this operation, the team's management must have looked at Quinn. After all, he averaged 25.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 3.3 steals and 1 block in 19 games with the Vipers this season, including 47.8% from the field and 33.5% from three-point range, which is a huge improvement from last season's average of 10 shares, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
In the finals, the Vipers can easily win the championship Quinn is indispensable, in the first game against the Blueshirts, he frantically cut 44 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, including 15 of 24 shots, 7 of 12 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, just from the basic data can see how good he performed in this game, and thus the first game vipers beat the blueshirts 145:128.
In the second game of the two-side showdown, the Vipers' most eye-catching performance was Carbenguele, who handed over 29 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks in 31 minutes, including 11 of 16 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, Quinn only got 24 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, 8 of 17 shots, 3 of 3 three points, 2 of 2 free throws, and in the final hours of the game, he was expelled because he was dissatisfied with the referee's decision to deliberately step on the blueshirt team twice and then triggered a conflict, but even so, With the super performance of the first game, he once again won the honor of FMVP and became the double MVP of the development league.
But even if he slashed 44 points in the Finals and won the honor of MVP + FMVP, but there is still no place for him in the Rockets, Quinn is 1.98 meters tall, is a forward guard swing man, and the Rockets have hoarded a lot of players in this position, Porter Jr., Green, Christopher, and even the two veterans of Gordon and Nuwaba can be counted in it, not to mention what choices the management will make this year's draft, in the case of such fierce competition at the guard line, Quinn wants to be turned right as difficult as the sky, Not to mention that his three-point shooting is not stable enough, and the shooting rate in the development league is only 33.5%, relatively speaking, flankers like Carbonguele may have a better chance of getting a regular turn. And for Hugh City fans, they don't want to see rocket management hoarding players under 2 meters tall...
