According to the United States, the Houston Rockets intend to sign small forward Saia Robbie, who was cut by the Thunder, to improve the thickness of the third position.
The Houston Rockets have been the weak point in the third position in recent years, and last season let Gordon or Tate take on the responsibility of small forwards, due to lack of height, the effect is not very good. In the draft, the Rockets won Tucker Ethan with the No. 17 pick, which is a pure third-place player, but after all, it is a rookie, whether it is game experience or technique, it takes time to polish. If Saiya Robbie can be signed, the strength of the third position will be greatly improved.
Saiya Robbie, the 45th pick in the second round of 2019, is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 104 kilograms, averaging 22 minutes per game with the Thunder last season, and can cut 10.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
On July 4, Beijing time, the Thunder announced that they had cut Saia Robbie, which was also a helpless move, after all, they had to give the new branch eye Holm Glenten position, and then many teams in the league expressed their intention to take over, so the Rockets may not be able to sign this small forward, which requires testing the ability of Rafael Stone.
