After a series of acquisitions this summer, the Houston Rockets have indeed made some improvements and improvements compared to the past. Although the Rockets do not have a top-level supergiant, which makes it difficult for the Rockets to face those teams with supergiants in headwinds and decisive moments, but at least they are somewhat competitive.
The US media announced that the Rockets will have 2K ability values, four of which exceed 80 points, the first place is Jaylen Green, he reached 84 points; Fred VanVleet and Alperon Shenjing followed, with 83 points each; The fourth player is Kevin Porter Jr., who also has 81 points in his 2K ability.
Jaylen Green and Alperon Shenjing are the key training objects of the rockets, and it is naturally normal to have a high ability value. Fred VanVleet, who was an All-Star and maintained good form last season, signed Fred VanVleet to a three-year maximum salary contract this summer, and Fred VanVleet is the main core of the Rockets from any point of view; As for Kevin Porter Jr., it seems that 2K Games really favors him, because with the arrival of Fred VanVleet, Kevin Porter Jr. will definitely lose his starting position in the new season, even if on the bench, with Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore and Tarry Eason and others, Kevin Porter Jr. may not be the absolute core, but his rating is still relatively high in the Rockets.
The Rockets tied for fifth, Jabari Smith, Dillon Brooks and Tarry Eason are tied for fifth, with all three players having 79 points in their 2K abilities. Two of them just entered the league last year and were named to the rookie second team last season. Dillon Brooks also moved to the Rockets this summer, signing a four-year, $90 million contract with the team, and is expected to enter the starting lineup for the new season, and these seven players are all major rotations.
The next few players are Jayshawn Tate, Amen Thompson and Jeff Green, who are relatively more likely to make the rotation. Amen Thompson, as the No. 4 pick in the first round of this year, has to start as a substitute, and of course, with a veteran like Fred VanVleet, Amen Thompson has the opportunity to learn more and grow faster.
Cam Whitmore and Jock Randale are tied for 11th place with 74 points each, although Jock Randale is the Rockets' only standard-sized center besides Alperon Shenjing and should get some playing time. With 73 points, Aaron Holladay has the lowest ability of any official contract player in the Rockets, only higher than the two two-way contract players, Trevor Huggins and Dalius Deis.
