The regular season is coming to an end, and now the team with the worst record in the league is the Pistons (16-58), the second-to-last Rockets (18-56), and the third-to-last Spurs (19-55). One of the NBA draft draw rules: The three teams with the worst winning percentages automatically have the highest probability of winning the draw (both 14%). The Spurs, Rockets and Pistons are certainly eager to win the draft, and this year is the NBA Draft year, and the likes of Ventayama and Henderson are talented basketball talents. The Rockets haven't been in the draw for the past few years, will there be any surprises this year? 33+15！ 24+13！ The Rockets trade was won, and even the bench couldn't stop you from rising.
The Rockets have been busy developing young players this season, with Jaylen Green, Jabari Smith, young center Shin Kyung and No. 17 pick Tari Easen, all four young players of the Rockets' focus on development. Jaylen Green has improved this season: Scoring averages have gone from 17.3 points per game to 22.0 points per game, and rebounds and assists have improved slightly, but shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage have declined slightly. Fans are not happy with Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr.: both in terms of shooting percentage, the overall shooting rate is only about 40%, and the three-point shooting rate is less than 35%, which is not the efficiency level of a good guard. There is also Kevin Porter Jr. to pass the ball to assist teammates, and the organization of the attack needs to become more stable.
Jabari Smith has improved recently, and his offensive scoring ability has suddenly become much stronger, contributing 20+ consecutive performances. In addition, Shin Kyung and Tari Eason also have excellent performances, Shin Kyung has entered the starting lineup this season, the numbers have skyrocketed, and the inside strength has visibly increased. Although Tari Eason has played as a substitute this season, he can play very efficient and very flashy numbers whenever he gets the chance. For example, in the regular season between the Rockets and Grizzlies, Tareison efficiently shot 9 of 13 and recorded 21 points + 5 rebounds + 4 assists + 2 steals. The Rockets and the Warriors played against each other, and Tari Eason efficiently shot 9 of 15, cutting 21 points + 12 rebounds + 1 assist + 4 steals, both offensive and defensive.
Shin Kyung shot 57% from the field this season, and he has recently cut gorgeous double-doubles efficiently, and, in the game against the Pelicans, Shin Kyung faced Pelicans center Varan and used fantastic footsteps to throw off the defense and successfully score 2+1, Shin Kyung's improvement on the inside is even more obvious. Previously, Shen Jing cut 33 points + 15 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks in a single game, 25 points + 13 rebounds + 4 assists + 1 block in a single game, and 19 points + 14 rebounds + 2 assists + 1 steal + 1 block in a single game. During the days when Kevin Porter Jr. was absent due to injury, Shin Kyung and Tari Eason got more opportunities to play and played particularly well.
Shin Kyung played as a backup center with the Rockets last season, even if he played as a substitute, Shin Kyung did not have any complaints, worked hard, started as a backup center, and then improved little by little, playing talent and strength. This season, after Shin Kyung entered the starting lineup, he averaged a number of statistics such as points per game and rebounds, and he set two records for the youngest center. First, Shen Jing, who is 20 years and 133 days old, became the youngest center in NBA history to score at least 1,000 points + 200 assists. Second, at 20 years and 170 days, Shen Jing broke the record for the youngest triple-double in Rockets history held by Kevin Porter Jr. (21 years, 330 days), and Shen Jing also became the youngest center in NBA history to score a triple-double.
Whether it is Shen Jing or Tari Ethan, even if they play substitutes, they can't stop their talent from breaking out and rising super. It is worth mentioning that both Shin Kyung and Tari Eason are first-round picks exchanged by the Rockets management through trades, and the young players selected, the Rockets really won the trade, and the draft picks exchanged for the most talented and potential rookies can be selected. NBA experts wrote an analysis that Shenjing and Tari Eason do not have enough balls now, and if the ball of Kevin Porter Jr. is divided between Shenjing and Tari Easen, then the data of the two of them will definitely be more gorgeous.
