The Rockets are actively preparing for the new season, the training camp roster is officially announced, and the former Tanhua is in a happy state

I believe that when VanVleet suffered a serious injury and is likely to be reimbursed for the season, many Rockets fans are feeling very uncomfortable now. After all, judging from the past two seasons, although VanVleet's data is not that gorgeous and sometimes even has some food operations, his role in the Rockets is not that easy to replace.

But life has to go on, and other Rockets players are still actively preparing for the new season. The training camp roster is officially announced. In addition to the players who were there last season and signed this summer, there are also several strange faces, including Kevin Harris, JD Davidson and Isaiah Crawford. They all need to do their best to stay in the team.

There are two issues worth caring about. First of all, the Rockets may continue to sign people. So before the start of the new season, the team still needs to keep the roster within 15+3, which is a total of 18 players, including 3 two-way contracts. On the other hand, Van Vleet was injured, and with a high probability of reimbursement, the backcourt position was in an instant, and Amen Thompson, Shepard and Holiday Jr. needed to come up, otherwise the Rockets management would have to continue signing people.

In addition, since Shepard is mentioned, this former Tanhua defender is in very gratifying during training during this period. According to the video clips posted by the Rockets, Shepard made 10 three-pointers, all of which were accurately hit. Even during training, this seemed difficult. You should know that the Rockets chose Shepard because they were optimistic about his shooting ability and golf courses, but Shepard had no chance in the rookie season, and even if he gave some time, his performance was unsatisfactory. With VanVleet seriously injured, Shepard will be the direct beneficiary. His playing time and role will inevitably increase in a straight line, it depends on whether he is successful.

As for the inside double towers, Alperen Shinkyung and Jabbarri Smith, both of them renewed their contracts, which would of course be the focus of the Rockets' training. In fact, from the perspective of adaptability, the two players can complement each other. Even in normal training, the coaching staff arranged for two to compete, and they provided some pretty amazing rounds. Considering that Alperen Shinkyung has just started his second contract in his career, Jabbarri Smith simply renewed his contract early and is still in the rookie bonus period. If they grow steadily, both the Rockets and the players themselves will definitely have great potential.
