No One Realizes What The Houston Rockets Are Doing..
the Houston Rockets are doing exactly what the NBA feared and I honestly can’t believe they just pulled this off this team is Making Waves in the NBA with massive changes and bold moves there’s no answer for what they’re doing no one realizes what the Houston Rockets are doing and that’s what we’re going to talk about in this video this off season is crucial for the Houston Rockets as they have one of the most promising Futures in basketball with their franchise Cornerstone Alper and singan the number three overall pick and a 41-41 record their best in years they’re poised for Success while there are uncertainties with Jaylen green young talents like Jabari Smith Jr are emerging the roster is Rich with young wings and bigs bolstered by the addition of Steven Adams ime udoka known for his prowess in developing Wings is among the best young coaches in the NBA Houston’s lineup featuring singan green Smith Jr and others is strong today’s video we’ll discuss there offseason goals including potential big trades decisions regarding the third pick strategies for free agency and the importance of internal growth Mikel Bridges has long been linked to Houston nearly getting traded at the deadline in exchange for Jaylen green the deal was set to include two or three first round picks the Brooklyn pick now the third pick in this year’s draft the 2026 pick and the 202 27 swap Bridges who averaged 20 points 4.5 rebounds and shot 44% from the field and 37% from three is a valuable player would the Rockets trade for him it’s a possibility adding Bridges would Elevate the lineup to an elite level if they move Jaylen green they might consider starting Kim Whitmore at the two this team would become incredibly deep with Bridges easily a 50- win team just because of their depth with the addition of bridges Steven Adams to last year’s 41- win team they could reach Elite status if they keep the pick they might choose between Reed Shepard Zachary Reese or Cody Williams Reed Shepard is a sharp shooter hitting over 50% from three this year and is an underrated Defender with a great vertical leak despite being 6′ 3 in he seems like a perfect fit for Houston Zachary Reese my top overall Prospect is a 6′ 1 in scoring machine with great potential capable of creating his own shot however he might not be available at pick number three Cody Williams a project pick is even more athletic and longer than his NBA star brother Jaylen Williams he has the potential to be an elite Wing scorer shooting over 40% from three and over 50% from the field both Rees and Williams have huge upside but Reed Shepard offers a reliable fit and immediate impact any of these choices would be strong for the Rockets will the Rockets be active in free agency that’s the big question they are $4 million over the cap and have looming contract extensions for their young players alrin singan and Jaylen green are entering the final year of their contracts while it’s unlikely they will finalize an extension with jayen green this summer due to ongoing discussions Alin San’s case is clearcut he averaged 21 points nine rebounds five assists and one and a half steals per game shooting 54% from the field before his injury though is three point shooting needs Improvement his performance is reminiscent of a young niika yic despite playing only 63 games due to injury singan who turns 22 next year is emerging as the franchise player in the new face of the Houston Rockets overtaking Jaylen green Jaylen green has experienced the roller coaster season Midway through he had a hot streak that secured Ed his spot in the lineup but for much of the Season he struggled with inefficiency and often wasn’t included in closing lineups green averaged 20 points five rebounds and three and a half assists in 32 minutes per game however his efficiency was lacking shooting just 42% from the field and 32% from three on 7.4 attempts per game significantly below expectations compared to last year his performance has declined in nearly every statistical category and he was benched during crucial moments in games the Rockets have some flexibility in free agency especially considering Fred Van vet’s $45 million team option for next year even with that option they are about $35 million under the salary cap allowing room to sign new players unless extensions come into play Van vle averaged 17.4 points 8.1 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game while the he has been a winning point guard in the past his role as a starter is uncertain this year there will be a battle for the starting point guard position between van vet the seasoned veteran who can mentor the young players and aan Thompson coming off his rookie season Thompson who turns 21 mid-season averaged 9.5 points 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game playing off the ball more than expected he also recorded 1.3 steal and showcased strong Defense Shooting 53% from the field however his 18% three-point shooting needs improvement with ime udoka known for developing Wings Thompson can benefit from his guidance Thompson also boasts a 109 defensive rating the second best on the team indicating his defensive prowess the other rookie this year cam Whitmore was ranked number four on my big board Jabari Smith Jr initi ially ranked number five surprisingly dropped to 20 similar to Michael Porter Jr cam Whitmore is a go to scorer when he gets the ball he’s taking the shot he averaged 12.3 points 3.7 rebounds and seven assists in 18 minutes per game impressively efficient for a rookie he shot 45% from the field and 36% from three that’s a fantastic performance for a rookie guard per 36 minutes his stats so scored a 23.7 points 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game another player poised for a breakout is Jabari Smith Jr his efficiency saw a notable uptick this year while his scoring and rebounding only increased slightly to 14 points and two assists in 32 minutes per game his shooting improved significantly this season he shot 45% from the field and 36% from three on five attempts per game still just 20 years old Smith showed substantial progress compared to last year where he averaged about 13 points and seven rebounds on 41% shooting from the field and 31% from three this efficiency Improvement is a promising sign for his development some free agent targets for the Rockets are worth discussing by cutting Jeff Green who had a modest impact this season but is a valuable veteran they could save $8 million and get under the soft cap potenti potential targets include Malik Beasley a great shooter who averaged 11 points 3.7 rebounds and shot 44% from the field and 41% from three another interesting option is Tobias Harris although this might seem like a bold choice just two years ago Harris nearly achieved a 50490 season while averaging 15 points per game he could provide valuable floor spacing for the Rockets it’s crucial to let the young core de pH aan Thompson cam Whitmore tar een alrin singan and Jabari Smith Jr are all around 22 or 23 years old some like cam Whitmore were just 19 throughout the season tar een for example averaged 10 points seven rebounds 1.4 Steals and one block per game shooting 47% from the field and 36% from three on 2.3 attempts he led the team in defensive rating in addition to their young core the Rockets have veterans like Fred Van vet Dylan Brooks and Steven Adams to blend experience with youthful Talent
