Under the guidance of general manager Stone, the Houston Rockets executed the plan to draft and develop young potential cornerstone players, bring in veterans who can stabilize the team, especially Dillon Brooks and VanVleet, whose presence has allowed the team to win many more games, and Stone has successfully found current and future coaches.
And this season, the Houston Rockets have won 41 games, and this year's situation would have been any given year, and the youth team should have made the playoffs, but unfortunately, the competition in the West is so fierce that they have not had the opportunity to show their talents in the playoffs.
However, compared to the decline of previous seasons, the Houston Rockets can be proud of what they have achieved, not to mention that their high hopes for Jalen Green and Shin Jingjing have played a phenomenal season, and young talents such as Jabari Smith, Eason, Amen Thompson and Whitmore have also made great progress.
After entering the offseason, Stone will lead the team to "check and fill in the gaps" of the lineup, and try to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Houston Rockets; it is worth mentioning that because the Brooklyn Nets completely missed the playoffs, the Houston Rockets made a fortune lying at home and obtained a high draft pick. With Stone's draft ability, he can make the most of this first-round pick and inject new talent into the team.
According to Shams, insiders revealed that the Rockets want to use the Nets to sign an interior player, and University of Connecticut talented center Klingen has been targeted.
Klingen's performance on the offensive end can be described as an unstoppable force. He showed an amazing ability to score from the low post, and every time he went deep into the basket, he seemed to be a scoring machine, whether it was a nimble turnaround jumper or a domineering dunk, making it difficult for opponents to defend.
Defensively, Klingen also showed a great performance. His ability to protect the basket is quite good, and his tall stature and excellent anticipation ability allow him to form an impenetrable barrier under the basket, effectively limiting the opponent's scoring. Shin Kyung, Landale and Adams are very similar in type, and there are quite a few weaknesses that can't hold up the Houston Rockets' interior line. So, if Stone can bring in this talent, then take the Rockets to the next level and allow Udoka's team to make the playoffs next season.
