Basketball

The Rockets' most important position now is their forward line. Whether it is a power forward or a small forward, their forward line configuration is at the top level in the league. They have scorers like superstar Kevin Durant, as well as defensive experts like Smith Jr., Ethan, Amen Thompson, and Tate. What's more, the Rockets also signed the defensive wing Finney Smith who played for the Lakers last season with a four-year contract. In this way, coupled with the Rockets' renewed veteran Jeff Green, the team's forward line has become the top level in the league. Even if the Rockets sent Dillon Brooks away and Whitmore away, the Rockets' forward level has actually increased but not decreased compared to last season.

The Rockets' forward line is indeed very good, but the Rockets' outside line can now be said to be short of soldiers and short of soldiers. Currently, since the Rockets' back line sent away Jaylen Green, there are only four defenders left. Shepard is the starting point guard of the Rockets in the summer league and the first substitute for the Rockets at No. 1 next season, while Aaron Holiday is the second substitute for the No. 1 position.

In addition, the Rockets' starting point guard next season is still veteran Van Vreett. Although fourth guard Nate Williams is only 26 years old, it is obvious that his performance in Game 1 of the Summer League was very poor. You know, Williams has been playing for the Rockets last season. He has played in the Development League for a long time and has performed well. Therefore, the Rockets saw Williams' progress in the Development League and directly gave him a non-guaranteed formal contract.

Williams now plays the main shooting guard in the Rockets' summer league lineup, but in the previous game when the Rockets lost to the Clippers, the 26-year-old shooting guard is silent. During the 31-minute playing time, Nate Williams made only 4 of 15 shots and 0 of 7 three-pointers, which was quite amateur performance. He scored only 8 points in 15 shots in the whole game. Compared with Shepard, who had excellent efficiency, he scored 28 points in the whole game, it was obvious that Williams' level was still too low.

In fact, before Whitmore was traded, there was a lot of news that the Rockets were about to cut Williams and make room for salary. But for the sake of Whitmore's development, the Rockets directly sent him to the Wizards. In the Wizards, Whitmore will have more opportunities to play and play, and it will be close to home. For the development of Whitmore, the Rockets reluctantly sent him away. The powerful forward, known as the "White Demon", finally left the Rockets, and Williams was lucky to stay. After all, the Rockets do not want to lay off Williams at the moment. After all, if they cut him, there will be only three players left in the Rockets' back.

However, Manager Stone sent "White Devil" Whitmore away too early, because judging from the first match of the summer league, it is obvious that Williams is very useful. If Whitmore is on the Rockets' starting shooting guard position, then Whitmore will definitely not disappoint everyone. Now that Williams is left and Whitmore is left, it is obvious that the Rockets are a bit hasty, which also means that the Rockets have sent away better players and left weaker players!

Williams did not perform as expected, but became the biggest drag player in the Rockets in the summer league. The Rockets lost to the Clippers in the previous game, and Williams should be responsible for this. I wonder if the Rockets regret sending Whitmore away too early.
