The broadcaster expects the Rockets to have three lineups next season: 15 people will be in charge, plus fourth center Dante, and Uduka holds the grand formation.

On July 13, the offseason summer league is in progress, and the most eye-catching player in the Rockets summer league is naturally Shepard. Although Shepard performed in a normal regular season last season, he will be given a heavy responsibility next season. He will be the Rockets' number one substitute in the backcourt, not only as a point guard, but also as a shooting guard. Shepard's ball quotient, shooting ability and personal ball control ability are beyond words. As long as he can enhance his defense and increase his confrontation ability, he will be a top substitute guard.

Judging from Game 1 of the Summer League, Shepard has indeed made great progress in the confrontation. His size seems to be a bigger lap and he is no longer the thin rookie defender last season. On the defensive end, Shepard was also at ease. With 3 blocks, 4 steals and 8 rebounds, Shepard can not only shoot, organize offense, but also do dirty and tiring work.

In fact, many players from the Rockets from last season have left, such as Dillon Brooks and Jaylen Green who exchanged Durant have joined the Suns, Landal was directly cut, he signed with the Grizzlies with basic salary, and two-way contract player David Rody was traded to the Hawks and was cut, and the Rockets' Whitmore was also sent directly to the Wizards to play. But the Rockets have also introduced many players, in addition to Durant, Finney Smith and Capela, such as Kevin Harris holding a two-way contract and Cam Matthews holding a training camp contract, they are expected to have a place in the team next season.

In the summer league where the Rockets lost to the Clippers the day before, the broadcaster also gave the Rockets three sets of lineups next season. After all, the Rockets now have 16 players, which can form three lineups. In addition, the Rockets' fourth center Nfali Dante, who holds a two-way contract, will have three more luxurious lineups on hand next season to win the championship.

Let's take a look at what the expected three lineups are: the Rockets are Van Vreet, Amen Thompson, Ethan, Durant and Shinkin; the second team is Holiday, Shepard, Finney Smith, Jabbarry Smith Jr. and Adams; the Rockets are expected to be Williams, Harris, Tate, Jeff Green and Capela. In addition, Dante serves as the Rockets' fourth center, and he can be replenished in the inside at any time.

In fact, the Rockets still have a formal contract position, and general manager Stone can still use it to introduce new players to strengthen their shortcomings, such as their point guard position or shooting guard position, and they can introduce players. But now, the Rockets have almost enough staff. After the new season begins, the Rockets may make some adjustments to the current lineup, but it is expected that there will be no big moves.

The Rockets are now strong and have first-class lineup depth, including superstar Durant and new All-Star center Shin Kyung. Amen Thompson is also a player with superstar potential. Van Vreet, Smith Jr., Ethan, and Finney Smith are all top role players in the league. Adams and Capela in the inside are the top rim protectors in the league. Even Shepard was highly expected, at least from the perspective of the summer league, Shepard did make a big splash.
