Rockets 3-player team, or go 1 and leave 2? Two inside players have received qualification quotes, and famous shooters are difficult to get a two-way contract

Although the Rockets did not have that kind of top star last season, their lineup depth was very good. The only All-Star center Alperon Shinkyung was probably the only star of the Rockets last season. In addition, Van Vreet, Jaylen Green, and Amen Thompson all have certain abilities and fame, but they are not all-stars yet. However, the Rockets are full of talents, with 3 to 4 players in each position to use, and there are even versatile players like Amen Thompson, Tate, and Smith Jr., who can play in three or four positions by one.

So even if the Rockets had core players missing due to injuries last season, the Rockets always had someone to take over. The Rockets have changed many starting lineups, but their record is quite stable. So although the Rockets do not have so-called superstars, the team's overall chemistry and team coordination ability are still very strong, which is also an important reason why the Rockets can eventually become the second place in the Western Conference in the regular season. In addition to the very stable starting lineup and the many people available in the second team, the Rockets also have many outstanding players in their third team and even two-way contract lineup. Now that the Rockets are entering the offseason, they keep Van Vreet and Adams, and trade Dillon, Jaylen Green and the draft pick for Kevin Durant. The Rockets also intend to keep three veterans, Jeff Green, Tate and Aaron Holiday, with basic salary. In the marginal lineup, the Rockets seemed to want to keep two players and give up one.

Because according to reports, power forward David Rody, who holds a two-way contract, and center Enfalley Dante, has now obtained a qualification offer from the Rockets. The Rockets give them a two-way contract, hoping that they will continue to play for the team next season. But it is very regrettable that as a well-known international basketball shooter and Australian national player Jack McVeigh did not receive such a quote. In other words, the Rockets are not going to keep 29-year-old scorer McVeigh.

Although this shooter performed very well in international basketball, he performed mediocrely among the Rockets last season. Coach Uduka likes players with strong defensive abilities, while McVeigh is the opposite. His offensive and shooting abilities are quite good, but his defense is useless and cannot stay under Rockets coach Uduka for a long time.

Therefore, the Rockets intend to leave behind short and strong power forward David Roddy, and center Enfalli Dante, known as "Capela Jr.", are all based on the reasons why the two have good defensive abilities and can play a role in the inside.

However, although McVeigh has good shooting ability among the Rockets, his defensive ability is really poor, which is obviously incompatible with the Rockets' tactical system and coach Uduka's requirements. Although he is a famous shooter, the Rockets are not even willing to give him a two-way contract. Fortunately, McVeigh can still play in the Australian League, where he is a top superstar, but obviously in the NBA, the season he played for the Rockets was unsuccessful.

So this also shows one thing: the Rockets want is the kind of players with excellent defense. If they can attack but not defend, it will be difficult to get opportunities among the Rockets.
