In the face of the current situation of the Rockets, the incompatibility between Shin Kyung and Jalen Green is obvious, and we need to make a choice. However, it is not the centre-forwards like Shin Kyung who are suitable for the Udoka system, but the players who move quickly. At this time, the Jazz's Kessler came into our sight, he is young and promising, 2.16 meters tall, weighs 111 kilograms, and is a rare center with both offense and defense.
For the sake of the Rockets' future, we may need to consider sending Shin Kyung away. Shin Kyung does have a lot of potential and is hailed as a young version of Jokic, but the reality is that his coexistence with Jalen Green is difficult to solve. Therefore, Stone should probably try to reach out to Jazz president Aegie to discuss the possibility of using Shin Kyung and a first-round pick as leverage in exchange for Kessler.
Angie is known for his unique trading style in the league, and we know that negotiating with him requires being prepared. But considering Kessler's outstanding performance, he averages 8.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, moves quickly, does not occupy the ball, and is good at blocking and pick-and-roll, such a player is undoubtedly needed by the Rockets.
Of course, if Angie is willing to hitch a ride on Hortontucker again, it will undoubtedly make the deal even more perfect. But regardless of the outcome, we are confident that Stone will make the decision that is best for the Rockets. After all, we can't ignore the overall needs of the team just because of Shin Kyung's potential. Under the Udoka system, we need players who can settle in and play quickly, rather than relying solely on potential.
