The basic salary signing is a big gate, and the Rockets 14 players are replacing it! The 8-player forward line is too luxurious, and Uduka is dazzling

The Houston Rockets finally signed their last puzzle, which is Okogie, the forward gate. Although Okogi is not the top forward in the league, signing him with a minimum salary of 3.1 million yuan per year is still very worthwhile for the Rockets. Last season, Okogi averaged 7 points and 3 rebounds per game, plus a 35% three-point shooting percentage. Although the data seems average, Okogi is very strong on the defensive end. After the Rockets got him, Uduka had more choices on the defensive end next season, and Okogi had many scoring players around him. He would get more open spaces next season and I believe his three-point shooting percentage will improve.

, and Okogi is also widely regarded as the last puzzle of the Rockets' championship lineup. After all, he has a basic salary, has extremely high cost-effectiveness, and has specialties in defense. He is also the type of player that Uduka likes to use very much. Now that Okoji joins, the Rockets finally form a 14-man rotation.

If 14 players are divided into three positions, the back lines include Van Vreet, Shepard and Aaron Holiday. In addition to Van Vreet being the standard point guard, Holiday and Shepard are both double-athlete defenders, and the forward line is the essence of the Rockets. There are superstar Durant and two players trained by the Rockets, Ethan and Smith Jr., and Amen Thompson is also a new star of the Rockets, and he has a chance to become a future superstar. In addition to Rockets veterans Tate, Jeff Green, Finney Smith and Okogie, the Rockets' eight-man team on the front line will be quite powerful next season, and this lineup will be quite gorgeous. It can be said that the Rockets' forward line is also at the top level in the league. In comparison, the Rockets' inside line is actually not weak, including All-Star center Shin Kyung, as well as two defensive gates Capela and Adams. This is the Rockets' 14-man lineup for the new season. Of course, in addition to the 14-man, there are swingman Kevin Harris who signed a two-way contract, and Cameron Matthews who signed an Exhibit 10 contract. Of course, according to Uduka's previous employment habits, it is basically difficult to rotate 14 people unless the team leads the game with a big score.

However, generally speaking, the Rockets will line up 9 or 10 players in the regular season, and among these 14 players, Holiday, Capela, Jeff Green, Tate and Okogie are expected to be alternates, while the remaining 9 players should be the core rotation of the Rockets. With these 9 players alone, the Rockets have a chance to compete for the NBA championship next season. The slightest part of the Rockets next season is their 8-man front line, including superstars like Durant, new stars like Amen, Ethan and Smith Jr., and even several defensive veterans Tate, Okogie and Finney Smith. Jeff Green, 38, can perform in the game and become a locker room stabilizer. So the forward line composed of these 8 players is at the top level in the entire league.

Uduka will have many choices for employing next season. He can even line up three different lineups, especially when it comes to the use of forward players. Obviously, Uduka will be dazzled. Compared with some teams that lack forwards, although the Rockets are at a disadvantage in the back line, their forward line is extremely strong, which is also the guarantee for the Rockets to win.
