Average of 12+6+1! Ethan transforms into the Rockets offensive core in 2 teams? Expert showdown: He is the X factor in the new season

The current Houston Rockets obviously the most important player in the new season is their superstar Kevin Durant. After all, KD's personal ability is undeniable. The purpose of using Jaylen Green and Dillon to exchange Durant is to allow him to lead the Rockets to go further next season. On the offensive end, Durant needs to stand up and score in time. Jaylen Green's ability to solve the problem on the offensive end is too poor. When he encounters some double-teams, he will be silent immediately and cannot force his score. Scoring is naturally what Durant is best at. In addition to Durant, Shinkyung, Amen, Van Vreet and Smith Jr. are equally important on both offense and defense.

Another player has been ignored, he is the 24-year-old Rockets substitute power forward Ethan. Last season, he played 57 times in the regular season, and averaged 12 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 steals per game, plus 0.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.2%. Although it is not very outstanding, it is obviously currently at the core level in the second team.

Based on personal style, Ethan has the feeling of being able to do anything. He can not only complete the offensive attack, catch the ball, or cut into the basket to score, and also make fouls and free throws at the basket. Moreover, Ethan is best at grabbing frontcourt rebounds and making a second attack. After all, his rebounding ability is quite strong, and his offensive rebounding ability is at the top level among the league forwards.

NBA expert Trent Whiting specially posted an article to analyze Ethan's performance next season. He believes Tari Ethan's growth is a key factor for the Rockets next season. On the defensive end, he is worthy of relying on. Although there are some shortcomings, Ethan's defense continues to improve and his style of play is very tough. Although he will not be fully relied on offensively, Ethan may become the X-factor for the Houston Rockets next season.

Experts believe that Smith Jr. is more like a Rockets shooter, while Ethan is versatile on the offensive end. He can not only attack with the ball, but also shoot in time, and complete layups that cut into the basket. He can become a more stable offensive force in the Rockets' second team next season. Next season, Shepard should be the core point guard of the Rockets' second team, allowing him to hold the ball to create more opportunities for the bench. In this way, he can improve his scoring efficiency with the help of Shepard.

So in the Rockets next season, Ethan may get more mobile phones and ball rights. After all, although Ethan is regarded as a defensive player and an excellent rebounder, he is obviously underestimated on the offensive end. He averaged 12 points per game in 57 games of the regular season last season, and averaged 12 points per game with the Rockets, which is already a very outstanding data. If you can get more performance opportunities in the second team next season, Ethan's data will have a chance to rise to 15 points per game next season.

Ethan can grow on the offensive end almost every season. Next season, Ethan does not need to hold a lot of balls by Shepard. He only needs to receive a pass to shoot or layup. Ethan is very good at this. Although he is not a forward with independent offensive ability, Ethan did a pretty good job as the end point of the front line. He is very likely to become the offensive core of the Rockets' second team next season.
