7 firsts + 3 second places! Are the Rockets changing too quickly and need to add PG? Amen Okogie has made huge contributions

After losing two games in a row, the Rockets won three games in a row. Note that the Rockets lost two games in a row with the top five starters. With Adams returning to replace Okogie and entering the starting lineup, the Rockets have not lost. Since Okogie started, the Rockets have won all games, and the Rockets seem to have become a brand new team.

After the game against Green Kai, the Rockets officially issued a tweet: Our three-point shooting percentage is as high as 45.4%, which is the highest in the NBA. (The Rockets' three-point shooting percentage last season was 35.3%, ranking 21st in the league)

Rockets reporter Bradaux posted some statistics about the Rockets after five games:

The average score of 127.8 points per game ranked first in the league;

Leading the league in offensive efficiency of 128.1;

Leading the league in offensive rebounding rate of 36.1%;

Leading the league in free throw efficiency of 40.6%;

Leading the league in average free throw attempts per game of 34.8;

Averaging 27 free throws per game .6 times ranked first in the league;

ranked first in the league in three-point shooting percentage of 45.4;

ranked second in the league in scoring efficiency +12.5;

ranked second in the league in true shooting percentage of 63.2%;

ranked second in the league in rebounding rate of 57%;

twice per game Ranked third in the league in offensive scoring of 20 points;

Last season, the Rockets averaged only 22.6 free throws per game, eighth in the league, ranked 12th in the league in offensive efficiency of 114.9, and ranked 21st in the league in three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%. It seems that the Rockets have directly transformed into an offensive team? Why is there such a big change? This transformation is too fast. After Green and Dillon were replaced by Durant, the Rockets' offense was too strong, right?

People must still have questions, do the Rockets still need to trade to strengthen guards? I think it is really not necessary at the moment. Even if the Rockets apply for a 12.5 million injury exception, they can wait until the trade deadline in February next year before considering it, because Amen and Okogie have made good contributions.

Amen currently averages 15.7 points, 7.7 assists, 7.3 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2.3 turnovers per game, with a true shooting percentage of 57.1% and a plus-minus of +25.7.

The Rockets have won all three games after Okogie entered the starting lineup. The Rockets' net efficiency value of +33.4 in the first quarter ranked first in the league. Okogie's three-point shooting rate is as high as 60% this season. He has made 7 of 10 in the past three games. His defense is also very good. The Rockets are currently in good shape and there is no need to strengthen PG.
