Just as the Houston Rockets were planning to streamline their roster and eventually retain a maximum of 17 players to enter the new season, there was a more surprising news. According to NBA reporter Darren Wolfson, the former Clippers' 23-year-old big forward/center Daniel O'Turoo may choose the Houston Rockets as its next home.
However, the reporter also said that the Rockets are not the "only" next home in O'Turu, the young inside big man, may also go overseas to play, his destination also has a "Turkish league". That said, not only Will Space City be O'Turus' next home, but the Rockets are still one of the most likely teams O'Turoo to join. Although the Rockets did not directly give a clear "sign or not sign" O'Tulu news, but there is no wind and waves, the Rockets may sign another center in the lineup.
In fact, the Rockets have had 2 new centers in the past month. The Rockets first signed Center Bruno Fernando from Africa on a training camp contract, and the 24-year-old center was a member of the Rockets last season and gave him another chance due to his excellent performance, twice in a limited number of games. The rockets have already signed a 1-year contract with another center, Cauley Stein, while not officially signing.
It seems that the Rockets are still not satisfied with the current internal situation, especially after Wood was sent to Dallas, the Rockets have been worried about whether Shin Kyung can have a qualified performance in the starting center position, so this summer, the Rockets have continuously introduced centers. Now the inside tough player Otouru is expected to become a member of the Rockets, which is also a part of the Rockets' internal reinforcement plan.
Although the Rockets did not say anything, O'Turus seemed to be very suitable for the Rockets' tactical system. We know that Shin kyung's shooting ability is not strong, and Fernando and Caulistein are also the type of pie-eating center, Marianović is slow and the long-range shooting ability is not strong. And Otouru? The template for his 2020 draft, but Aldridge, Jarrett Allen this type of center forward, in addition to the ability to protect the basket, O'Tulu's biggest highlight is his long-range shooting ability.
O'Turu was selected by the Clippers with the 33rd pick in the second round 2 years ago, and has joined the Clippers, Grizzlies, Bulls and Raptors in 2 years, and this summer O'Turu was favored by the Magic, who became a member of the Magic Summer United lineup and played several games for the Magic. He has played for 5 teams in 2 years, although it proves that O'Turu's ability is indeed very general, but it is more reflective that Otouru has not worried about home, and there will always be a team to give him the opportunity to perform.
It's worth noting that in addition to the possibility of playing for the Rockets, O'Turu's next home is a certain team in the Turkish League. Although there is no exact team, once Oturus goes to Play in Europe, with his excellent shooting ability and basket protection strength, he believes that he can still stand in Europe. O'Turus's biggest weakness is the lack of confrontation ability, but in the European basketball world that emphasizes basketball technology, O'Turus's shortcomings will be greatly weakened, so it may be more suitable for the young big man than going to the Rockets.
