For the Houston Rockets and fans, although they still did not make the play-offs this year, it is obvious whether it is the 11th place in the West or the number of wins improved. But it is precisely because the overall competition in the West is too fierce that the Rockets cannot take it lightly, especially when the Grizzlies are fully healthy next season and the Spurs are likely to seek results, the degree of involution in the West will only be better.
Rafael Stone, who is the general manager of the Rockets, has now also revealed the team's offseason plans. Rafael Stone personally admitted that the Rockets will give priority to bringing in sharpshooters in both the draft and free agency, while the Rockets choose Stud and pay a lot of assets in exchange for stars are less likely, and management prefers to keep the main roster framework and make appropriate additions and adjustments.
According to Rafael Stone, there is a consensus within Rockets management that they want to improve the team's projection performance next season without a lot of changes. Obviously, with the continuous development of the times, today's league pays more and more attention to space, offensive and defensive conversion speed and three-point shooting stability, and this happens to be the defect of the Rockets, even if a number of players are introduced this season, the famous shooting coach Ben Sullivan also came to the Rockets, but the team has changed in this regard, it seems that it is not particularly obvious, the Rockets three-point shooting percentage is still ranked at the bottom of the league, and several times because of a large number of offensive vacancies, the victory is handed over to others, which is obviously a pity.
At the same time, the overall roster of the Rockets is very young, so as long as they improve steadily, everything will go in a good direction. Especially when it comes to outside projection, if you want to be a historic sharpshooter like Stephen Curry, Ray Allen or Klay Thompson, you'll definitely need to highlight your talent. But as long as you are willing to work hard and the training method is correct, the three-point shooting rate will reach about 35%, that is, near the league average, which is not a particularly difficult thing, and it all depends on whether the player is willing to work hard to achieve this standard.
In addition, the Rockets management believes that the team is developing well at this stage, and there is no need to be too risky and aggressive this offseason, but if there is a good opportunity, the Rockets management will certainly consider choosing to act aggressively. Rafael Stone has also repeatedly stressed that the Rockets have a young roster with a lot of talented players, and everyone needs to help each other get better.
