Welcome home! Average of 9+8+1, the 31-year-old veteran officially debuted at the Rockets training camp, and he is stronger

Generally speaking, players who leave the Rockets can perform well in other teams. After all, there is a saying that "The Rockets produce must be a fine product." There are many players who have been traded or laid off by the Rockets. If you change to a team, you will be reborn immediately. I won’t give more examples here. It is expected that the two Rockets veterans Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, who will be with the Suns next season, may also perform better and produce more gorgeous data.

Of course, the Rockets are becoming stronger now. Alperen Shinkyung, the star center, has been improving and growing. In the recent European Championship warm-up matches, he scored 25 points, 25 points and 26 points in a row, once again proving that the NBA's All-Star center is not a false reputation. The Rockets' new player Kevin Durant is the team's core, and his arrival can also make the Rockets better.

In addition to these stars, some of the Rockets' role players are actually not bad, such as 31-year-old inside center Clint Capela. Although Capela was the absolute main player of the Rockets back then, he had obtained many wonderful passes and could easily score layups, and was nicknamed "Pie King", there is no such first-class passer among the Rockets now. Although Van Vreet is a point guard, he specializes in comprehensiveness, can hold the ball, pass the ball, shoot the ball, and defend. He does not have the talent of Harden and Paul in passing. So, Capela is not expected to score too many points in the Rockets next season. After all, no one specifically passes the ball to him, and coach Uduka will not specifically design a "eating cake" tactic for Capela like D'Antoni back then.

However, Capela's defensive ability is still online. At the age of 31, he is strong in size and moving at a low speed. He can block shots and protect rebounds, and has a very strong ability to cover and pick-and-roll. He is fully qualified as the Rockets' third center. Now, Capela, who has returned to Houston, has started a small training camp for the Rockets with players such as Van Vreet, Amen Thompson, Smith Jr., Jeff Green and other players. Capela also appeared in the training camp, and he also played against Jeff Green at the basket.

The two veterans are fighting so hard in training camp. It can be seen how fierce the competition among the Rockets will be next season. However, this is good news for the Rockets. Fierce competition can make the Rockets' record better. After all, the competition can screen out better players to play in the game.

Capela's opponents next season are Shinkyung and Adams, and even inside power forward Jabbarri Smith, who will compete with these players for playing time. Although Capela went away from the Atlanta Hawks a few years ago, he has been paying attention to the Rockets' performance and record, and has always regarded Houston as his home. Now he returns to the Rockets to be considered "going home". Last season with the Hawks, Capela averaged 9 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist per game. Although the data is relatively average, Capela's role on the defensive end of the basket is something that cannot be reflected by the data.

More importantly, Capela, who has now officially debuted at the Rockets training camp, looks stronger. In the Rockets, Capela was the tall and flexible center, but now his speed has not dropped much, and it is tall enough. Now Capela has become stronger with the naked eye. In the confrontation at the basket, he may not be inferior to any center in the league. Although he is a few years older, Capela is still more than enough as the Rockets' third center. I also hope that the veteran can perform close to his peak next season.
