Average of 20.3 points, 9 rebounds and 1.6 caps per game! He is only 21 years old. I wasted 3 years by the Rockets. Only the Spurs can save you

The Rockets have officially ended this season, but it is still a bit contradictory to evaluate their entire season. On the one hand, the performance of the young man is indeed surprising. Amen has the potential to be the core, and the team's defensive ability is top-notch in the league and has very strong elasticity. It is a typical modern defensive system. On the other hand, some young people's growth is indeed not as expected. Green is as disappointing as ever. Shin Kyung has seen his upper limit. Amen's shooting is a flaw.

There are so many people mentioned above, and there is also a young man who is also surprising, Jabary Smith, a third-year Tanhua Show. It is surprising that he is not because of how poor his performance is and how many opportunities he has wasted, but because he was abandoned by the team when his performance is obviously OK.

In this round of the series, Smith Jr. averaged 7.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, shooting percentage reached 50% and three-point shooting percentage reached 45.5%. It should be said that he is very efficient, and he has his own place to stand in the space and all-player defense system.

During the regular season, Smith Jr. also performed well. In all games with more than 35 minutes of playing time, Smith Jr. averaged 20.3 points, 9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, and shot more than 45% from the ball, which are all very good data.

However, Smith Jr. only averaged 20 minutes of playing time in the first round of the playoffs, and even played for only 12 minutes in the tiebreak game. Such employment may be biased. Although Smith Jr. dribbles are average, he is very suitable as a pure end point. Moreover, Smith has a large size, excellent movement ability, good defensive skills, and soft touch. In this small and medium-sized ball era, he should be the puzzle player that all teams want. However, in the three years since joining the Rockets, Smith Jr. has never received attention. His average data has not improved significantly in the past three years, and his playing time has even tended to decline.

Just this summer, Smith Jr. is about to enter the free market. According to his team's previous tone, it is likely that he will not continue to serve as the Rockets. In this case, there are probably many team quotes, and the editor thinks that Smith Jr. and the Spurs are definitely the most suitable ones!

The Spurs are currently short of strikers of sufficient size. Barnes is already old after all, and Sohan's shooting has always been a big problem. His current shooting hand shape is very problematic, and his height and wingspan cannot support him in playing the fourth position. They urgently need a suitable starting fourth position to form an inside combination with Wenban Yama. In this case, Smith Jr. is definitely the best solution. For Smith Jr., his team status will also be greatly improved.
