Liftoff Diary丨White Devils All-Star Weekend hard three-point training Stone bluntly said that he was very excited Green gave up the start?
Long time no see, Rockets fans, I've been on fire too much recently, so I'm embarrassed to do a special feature. Given that Udoka said that there will be different things in the next games, let's analyze who is better to start Jalen Green or the White Devils?
Cam Whitmore missed three games after missing three games with a sprained right ankle against the Raptors on Feb. 10, and ESPN's injury report has not yet been updated, although according to Rockets reporter Chris White, the White Devils began working hard during All-Star Weekend.
On February 18th, trainer Aaron Miller posted a training video of the White Devils, in which the White Devils constantly tried various three-point shooting, receiving shots, holding the ball, dry pull-out under defense, three-pointers step-back, three-pointers step-back, etc., it is obvious that he understands that his position in the Rockets this year is that of a shooter/scorer, and he needs to shoot the ball to the basket.
In the 8 games before the White Devils were injured, he averaged 18.1 points + 2.8 three-pointers + 42.3% three-point shooting per game, and he was the best outside shooter for the Rockets.
The White Devils are currently averaging 17 minutes per game, scoring 11.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, shooting 47.8% from the field and 40.3% from three-point range.
With 25.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks per 36 minutes, his stats are several notches better than Jalen Green's.
As a rookie who has only played 28 games, he has rushed to the sixth place on the NBA Rookie of the Year list, and the No. 20 pick has more momentum than No. 4 Amen, even if he doesn't make the best rookie this year, the best rookie second team should be fine.
Rockets GM Rafael Stone said of the White Devils in an interview: "We're excited to have Cam, he's scored, he's the kind of athlete he's born with, that's very obvious, he's very athletic and he's showing a lot of offensive talent. We also asked him to defend multiple positions and he worked hard. ”
Rockets reporter Rob Campbell still thinks it's inconceivable that the White Devils have dropped to the 20th pick.
On the other hand, the Rockets starter SG Jalen Green averaged only 18 points in 30.6 minutes per game, shooting 41.1% from the field and 30.7% from three-point range.
But Jalen Green doesn't think he's being used correctly, and there's no way he's going to be willing to play the sixth man. Green is already unhappy with Udoka's multiple DNP in the final quarter.
Green's stats left Rockets reporters speechless, according to ESPN statistics, this year's NBA three-point shooting percentage ranked 164th, and Jalen Green ranked 161st in three-point shooting percentage.
Brit's Great Grandpa, the Rockets' draft expert, admitted that he was wrong to recommend the Rockets to pick Green in the list that year, and that he was just a sixth man.
Jalen Green ranks eighth on the league list of worst true shooting percentages at 52.7 percent, Henderson at 48.4 percent and Poole second with 1.1 percent. Does such Jalen Green still deserve Udoka's start?
