35+16！ 31+14！ The Rockets' rising star talent is getting stronger year by year, and the Hugh trade selects people with a keen eye

There are 15 teams in the Western Conference, the Nuggets, Suns, Lakers, Warriors, and Clippers are all championship-level powerhouses; The Lone Ranger, Kings, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Pelicans, Thunder, etc. are all dark horse teams dominated by young cores. Will the Rockets and Spurs continue to be a rebuild team? The Houston Rockets certainly won't because their first-round pick next year isn't in their hands, it's in the hands of the Thunder. The Rockets owner has given orders that the Rockets make the playoffs their first goal this season. The Rockets' young rising stars are improving fast and super rising, can they lead the team to win in the new season? 35+16！ 31+14！ The Rockets' rising star talent is getting stronger year by year, and the Hugh trade selects people with a keen eye.

Among the Rockets' young players, Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung and Jabari Smith have all improved quickly. Shin Kyung is the No. 16 pick in 2021, he played as a substitute in his rookie season, averaging 9 points + 5 rebounds + 3 assists per game, which is relatively average. However, after playing as a starting center last season, he averaged 15+9+4+1+1 per game, improving rapidly, and he shot 55.3% from the field, the highest in the team. If Shin Jing's statistics last season are converted to 36 minutes per game, then he can easily reach 20+10+6 data and reach the level of an All-Star center. Shin Kyung's passing assist ability is very strong, similar to Jokic, he is a relatively versatile center.

At the end of last season's regular season, when Jaylen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. were absent due to injury, Shin Kyung and Tari Eason waited for more ball, and they let go and played very flashy statistics. For example, Shenjing has 35 points + 16 rebounds + 6 assists + 4 blocks per game, 31 points + 14 rebounds + 4 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks per game, 30 points + 9 rebounds + 5 assists per game. This offseason, Shen Jing played for the national team, and also cut a variety of 20+ and 30+ data in a row, and performed very well.

Young stars such as Jaylen Green and Shen Jing, their talent and strength are getting stronger and stronger year by year, and they have improved a lot. Shen Jing revealed in the interview that he has grown 5 centimeters taller than before, and now Shen Jing's bare foot height has reached 2.13 meters, and his height and arm span are more advantageous. Rockets coach Uduka also said that Shenjing is now more and more mature in basketball technology, he has become stronger, and he will definitely have a bigger breakthrough in the new season. Both Shen Jing and Jaylen Green have set a small goal, that is, to reach the All-Star team in the new season, which is not small.

The Rockets management has done a very good job of selecting people in the past few years, with Shin Kyung with the 16th pick, Tari Eason with the 17th pick and Whitmore with the 20th pick. At the beginning, Rockets general manager Stone lined up and insisted on using two first-round picks to trade back No. 16 pick Shin Kyung, betting on his MVP potential (Shin Kyung was the youngest MVP winner in the Turkish league at the time). Looking back now, the operation of Stone's trading selection is indeed great, Shen Jing, Tari Eason and Whitmore all have the talent of potential new stars, and the future is very promising.

Some say the Rockets have a chance to qualify for some playoffs this new season. Some fans say that the Rockets are still the worst roster in the new season and are unlikely to make the playoffs. Everyone is still in the stage of prediction and speculation, who can guarantee what the new season will be like? Will the Nuggets be first in the West in the new season? Are the Suns sure to win the championship? We don't know what the new season will be like in the West, at least, the Rockets will certainly not be rotten, Uduka needs to build a winning culture, build a defensive system, and this Rockets team will eventually have to transform.
