In the officially broken second season, the Houston Rockets ushered in Jaylen Green, who can be the cornerstone of the team. The Rockets naturally look forward to completing the rebuild as soon as possible under Green's leadership, but reality did not go in the direction they expected, and Green encountered his rookie wall early. Since the start of the season, Green has averaged only 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, compared to the rookie Cavaliers player Evan Mobley and Raptors player Scotty Barnes, his performance and offensive efficiency on the defensive end are really bad. What is even more poignant is that in a team 1v1 bullfight, John Wall defeated Green by an absolute advantage, to know that Wall is a player who has suffered serious injuries, Wall said bluntly after the game: "I did not even recover to the 70% level, you are 100% state, and I am not." ”
For Green's performance, Rockets fans are naturally a little disappointed, and even some fans think that Green is not the answer to the Future of the Rockets, and they have set their sights on next year's draft. For Green's play and the Rockets' prospects this season, league analyst Javi Migue wrote a very informative article in his column. In this article, Javi Migue should give Green some patience, although for a talented player who is a talented player in the list, it is obviously unreasonable to have a three-point score of 1-in-n or 0 in every game, but these can be improved after correcting Green's shooting posture, and the problem now is that the Rockets should fully build a better growth environment for Green and Kevin Porter Jr.
The Rockets still have a lot of pressing questions to solve, such as how Wall's big contract should be handled, how veterans such as Eric Gordon can maximize value through trades, and whether the right number one should be introduced when Green and Porter are seriously insufficient to handle the ball. To this end, Javi Migue specially proposed a feasible deal plan to the Rockets management, which was to send Wall, Gordon and Wood from the Raptors for Pascal Siakam, Gran Dragic and a future first-round pick.
Raptors rookie Barnes showed a level of competition far beyond his peers, so the Raptors in the semi-rebuilding period must clear all obstacles on the road to growth, although the core player Siakam still has to return to the team, but it is conceivable that if Sika returns, it will inevitably clash with Barnes on the issue of ball rights. On the other hand, according to reporter Marc Stein, as far as he knows, the Raptors have not changed their minds, and the team still wants Dragic. As an experienced ball handling veteran, he couldn't have been more appropriate to take Green and Porter.
