Shepard must play, US media talks about the Rockets gamble, the team only has one shortcoming

The Rockets' reinforcement this offseason is extremely extreme, and they used Greendillon and the No. 10 pick for Durant. Then sign Capela and Okogi and electric fans. The team has strengthened the already wealthy front line and inside line again, and even has some resources overflowed. However, the Rockets' reinforcement for the backcourt was almost 0, and the Rockets did not have any reinforcement except signing back to Holiday. In the latest comments from the US media "ESPN", they believe that the Rockets' backcourt is the only shortcoming.

Interestingly, the well-known Rockets basketball reporter also reprinted ESPN's report on the new season. The reporter thought Stone was a bit too gambled and put all hope on Shepard. If Shepard can make it, it will naturally be the best. But if Shepard can't play, then the Rockets will give up on him and correct their shortcomings, there will be no fault tolerance. Because this is not something you have to have a chance if you want to strengthen the backcourt, and other teams must be willing to give you a strong backcourt.

Rockets reporter commented: "The Rockets are a bit too gambled. After we got Durant, we retained the shortcomings of the backcourt. I can understand General Manager Stone, who likes Shepard. After all, he was the 24-year-old Tetra Show. The Rockets believe that he can solve his problem in the second season. But the Rockets also left Holiday, perhaps because of concern for Shepard. If he can't play, the Rockets can still use Holiday. Costone still hopes Shepard can win this job, which will be the best result."

Shepard is a white man, Curry is a black man, both of them have historical projections, and their height and wingspan are similar, so everyone has always said that Shepard is a white man, Curry. Durant happens to be in the Rockets now. If Shepard can display his shooting talent, then this is the reunion of Curry and Durant. Durant and Shepard pick-and-roll, one person will inevitably be attacked and the other person will get the chance. And Shepard lets people see this possibility.

After all, Shepard averaged 20 points and 5 assists in three starts last season, with an overall shooting percentage of 49%, and a three-pointer of 52%. Just like Uduka said, Shepard has a ball dealer, obeys orders, and is a team player. In addition, Shepard said in a previous interview that he had gained 12 pounds in the offseason. He believes that he will not be called by his opponent in the new season. If Shepard can be promoted to the NBA level on the defensive end, then he does have the possibility of realizing his talent.

Shepard projected historical talent on the offensive end, and then the organizational aspect will also be. When entering the league, he feels like a combination of Curry and Paul. Shepard has the ability to be a candy on the defensive end, and he can always follow his opponent. In fact, when Shepard was named last season, he did not lose his position. He just had a poor confrontation and was beaten by his opponent and flew away. This is the key to why the Rockets want to improve Shepard's core strength during the offseason.

At the end of last season, Shepard clearly felt that he had become much stronger when he started, and he became stronger in the summer league. The most important thing is that Shepard can kill in the Development League, which proves that as long as the power is improved, he will have great potential. In the final analysis, the Rockets have now lost two rookies with high picks. Fortunately, Jaylen Green replaced Durant at a high position, and then Smith of the Tanhua was also mediocre. Only Amen Thompson played, but he was the fourth pick. Shepard is another team's Teihua, and it is also the last suspense. Shepard, Amen and Shin Kyung are the future of the Rockets, and Shepard replaces Van Jordan.
