It s settled! No. 4 + No. 27! The Rockets 2 new player jersey number is released, and Jaylen Green is ignored again?

With players such as Durant, Shinkyung, Finney Smith and others coming to Houston, this also means that the Rockets' training camp will be unveiled in a few days. However, during the training camp, the Rockets must not be able to gather all 18 players - veteran Van Villet has just successfully undergone surgery and is expected to rest for 12 months before playing. But at that time, the Rockets had already ended next season, so the Rockets had to prepare for Van Vreet not to play in a game next season. Whether in the regular season or the playoffs, Van Vreet could not play in theory. After all, no matter how fast he recovered, it would take 9 months.

VanVleet's position will be replaced by Amen Thompson, Shepard and Holiday, who will become the main rotation in the Rockets' No. 1 position; Davidson, who played for the Celtics last season, also has the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup. On September 28, the NBA Rockets announced the jersey numbers of the two players today. One is the Rockets' two-way contract small forward Isaiah Crawford, and the other is the point guard JD Davidson who also holds a two-way contract we just mentioned. According to reports, Crawford will wear the No. 27 jersey, while JD Davidson will wear the No. 4 jersey.

Crawford is not familiar with him. He played 15 games for the Kings last season, averaging 3.1 minutes per game, and could only send 0.9 points and 0.5 rebounds, and played in the Development League for a long time. The 23-year-old small forward has a hard time getting a major rotation position in the Rockets, and it is almost impossible to even enter the Rockets first team. The Rockets are likely to delegate him to the Development League Vipers next season. Unless the Rockets suffer serious large-scale injuries, it is almost impossible for Crawford to enter the Rockets' main rotation.

Compared to Crawford, Rockets' No. 4 player Davidson has a better background. Davidson played for the Celtics' Development League team last season, and he even became the MVP of the Development League last season. In the regular season of the Development League last season, Davidson averaged 25.6 points, 7.9 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game; in the playoffs, Davidson averaged 34.7 points, 13.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game. He is a player with strong scoring ability and extremely passive ability.

Although he is short and has insufficient confrontational ability, he is fast, can shoot and has super scoring ability. Otherwise, Davidson would not be the best player in the Development League and played 34+3+13 in the playoffs.

This time Davidson chose the No. 4 jersey, and as we all know, the No. 4 jersey was the jersey number worn by Jaylen Green last season. In the four years since Jaylen Green joined the Rockets, he could only wear No. 0 in his first season because the No. 4 jersey was occupied by Daniel House; after that, House left the team, and Jaylen Green was wearing No. 4 jersey in his second, third and fourth seasons. But now, an unknown two-way contract player has occupied Jaylen Green's number, and it can only be said that Jaylen Green has been forgotten among the Rockets again.

This summer, Jaylen Green was sent to the Suns by the Rockets in exchange for Durant, and the Rockets media also directly stated that the era of Jaylen Green was over. Because the No. 4 jersey is so easily occupied by a marginal contract player, it can be seen that Jaylen Green is really dispensable and not important among the Rockets. However, we also hope that Jaylen Green can join forces with Booker to play a good performance, and he has this strength.
