The Rockets urgently need the ability of a player to fight, which can make up for the Rockets biggest shortcomings, why never give opportunities

This season, the Rockets' internationalization is improving. The team's core Shin Kyung is a Turkish player. The team's defensive gate Dillon Brooks is a Canadian player. The Rockets are the team with the most Australians in the league.

At present, two Rockets Australian players are center Landale and forward McVeigh. Both of them are not in the Rockets' regular rotation lineup. Compared to Langdale who can get 8 million a year, McVeigh is a player on the Rockets' two-way contract.

This season, McVeigh played 9 games for the Rockets, averaging 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.2 blocks, 0.2 turnovers and 0.3 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 29.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%.

To some extent, McVeigh has the lowest status among all the Rockets players, the fewest playing time and number of appearances on the Rockets, and there is almost no sense of existence.

Due to the regular season, McVeigh has very limited opportunities to show with the Rockets, but in the Rockets' playoffs, McVeigh completely exposed his problems.

McVie exposed his fatal shortcomings in three preseason games: he took two fouls in 3 minutes against the Clippers. Although he got a 12-minute chance when he met the Lakers, his cold touch of 0 of 4 shots reminds people of the 2019 draft night when he practiced until the early morning in the Suns training hall.

What's worse is the performance on the defensive end - when Kumingga completed the dunk in front of him, the commentator of US media TV joked that it was "a game for adults to play children."

Uduka's evaluation of McVeigh is intriguing: "Some players are like seiko watches, each part fits perfectly; some people are more like fireworks, beautiful but hard to predict."

When McVeigh averaged 23 points in the Development League, the Rockets scout report reads: "His running without the ball is like an accurate mathematical formula, but his ability to create opportunities independently remains at the university level." This contradiction is infinitely amplified in the NBA, like putting a Swiss army knife into a microwave - full functions but easily causing danger.

This season, they recalled McVay to the roster five times. This swinging attitude reflects the tangle of the reconstruction period: it is necessary for such players to fill the depth of the lineup, and worry that excessive use will ruin the locker room chemistry.

McVeigh's biggest feature and highlight is that her three-point shooting accuracy is quite high. In the Rockets' only playing time, McVeigh's three-point shooting rate is not impressive, and it can even be said to be bad. She failed to seize the opportunity in a short time, but McVeigh's three-point shooting in the Development League can kill all sides.

McVeigh has basically no other advantages or highlights except for three-point shooting. He has poor physical confrontation and unqualified control ability. As a 28-year-old Australian player, there is basically no value or opportunity to train. He is more about combat power, and his performance and performance in the Vipers are not good. He currently does not have the ability to play in the NBA. The Rockets' signing with McVeigh may be more about cultivating talents for the Vipers.

In the offseason, McVeigh's two-way contract expires, and the Rockets are likely to not renew McVeigh. McVeigh is likely to find another next player.

A manager of an Eastern Conference team bluntly stated in an anonymous interview: "Players like McVeigh are like expired food in supermarkets. They can be bought for emergency purposes but must not be held for a long time." This evaluation may be cruel, but it is true - in the NBA business league, sentiment must always give way to competitive needs. Just like the slogan on the Rockets' locker room wall: Only data and sweat are believed here. As for the story, it is a luxury that is only worthy of after retirement.
