Average of 25+5+8! The Rockets sign another player, Stone makes up for whatever he lacks, and 6 players are available at the defender position

The Rockets sent away two outside players, Jaylen Green and Whitmore, respectively, in the offseason, and they also directly cut down defender Nate Williams, who performed poorly in the first game of the summer league. It is actually normal for the Rockets to do this, because although Nate Williams was transferred to a regular contract, he didn't have many opportunities last season, and he often played for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the Development League. Among the Rockets, although there are occasional opportunities, Williams does not perform well.

In the first game of the summer league this year, Williams' shooting percentage was extremely low. Although the Rockets gave him the starting shooting guard position, Williams' performance was disappointing. After the first game, the Rockets directly cut him and never gave him any chance.

So, many defenders were sent away or cut, which also means that the Rockets have caused a shortage of defenders. Before, the Rockets had only four defenders: Van Vreet, Amen Thompson, Shepard and Aaron Holiday. Among them, Amen Thompson often plays as a power forward or small forward, and does not play as a defender, so the Rockets have always lacked manpower in the backcourt.

About less than a week ago, the Rockets signed shooting guard Okogi, and a basic salary contract is also very cost-effective. This is not the end. On July 27, today, the Rockets announced that they signed a two-way contract with JD Davidson, who played for the Celtics last season. In this way, the MVP of the Development League last season will play for the Rockets next season.

Last season, Davidson played for the teams under the Development League Celtics. In the regular season of the Development League last season, he averaged 25.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game; in the three games of the playoffs, Davidson averaged 34.7 points, 13.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and two steals and one block. It can be said that the 22-year-old Davidson performed very well. Three years ago, he was also the No. 53 rookie in the draft. He has played for almost all of the Celtics' Development League teams for the past three years, and now he has become a free agent, and the Rockets have signed him in time and can also help the Rockets' back line.

It can be said that Raphael Stone, the Rockets manager, is really unique in vision. He can not only poach superstars like Durant, but also sign outstanding role players like Capela and Finney Smith, and also sign Davidson, the best player in the Development League last season with a two-way contract. The Rockets really lack what they lack, because they lack guards. After Davidson joined, the Rockets not only had a big core with the ball in the backcourt, but also had an excellent scorer in the backcourt.

The Rockets signed Davidson with a killing kill. In this case, including Okogi and Davidson, plus the four Rockets guards we mentioned, at least coach Uduka has 6 guards on hand next season. In addition, Durant, who can serve as a shooting guard, Kevin Harris, and versatile Jay Sean Tate, the Rockets' back line will actually have more choices next season.
