Secretly announced the reinforcement, the Rockets signed two players in a row

Basketball

Today, the NBA official website updated the list, and the Rockets signed two new players in a row. They are JD Davidson, who previously played for the Celtics and Isaiah Crawford, who had previously played for the Kings. Both of them signed two-way contracts (Two-Way Contract).

Given that each team has only three two-way places, the Rockets have previously given a two-way place to Kevin Harris, so the Rockets' two-way place is full. And considering that although the Rockets now have 17 people on the roster and theoretically there is one official contract quota, since the Rockets are only 1.2 million from the first rich line, and the cheapest basic salary for signing a veteran is 1.27 million, the Rockets' reinforcement has been confirmed to be completely over.

The team reporter Iko also said that the Rockets might be waiting for Enfali-Dangte's condition before considering giving other two-way players, but they signed two people so quickly. The Rockets have had scandals with Celtics' Holiday and Brown at the beginning of this offseason. As we all know, Uduka is a former Celtics Chief Coach, and he can use the title of former head coach from the Celtics nagging players, but he failed to get any of these main players. It's okay, the bench JD Davidson in the bench is here, and this guy's appearance is quite memorable.

Kaimi nicknamed "Sister Rain" defender JD Davidson has also had 12 opportunities to play in the Celtics seasons with many experts in the past three seasons, of course, most of them are garbage time. At other times, the bench is basically hung up. His memory points remain in G-League.

JD-Davidson is indeed a strong player in the G League. He has averaged more than 20 points per game for the Red Claws in the past two seasons and has averaged 25.1 + 5.6 rebounds + 7.6 assisted in the championship of the Development League MVP. Although the strength of the Development League is definitely a few CBA levels that are different from that of the NBA, being able to score 25+ at least proves that there is no problem with scoring ability. If the Celtics had not been forced to sack Davidson in order to reduce the second rich line (2.27 million unsecured contract, the Celtics just completed the tax reduction task after the sack), they actually wanted to keep him because he was really outstanding in the G League last year. In terms of scoring ability alone, Davidson's pure scoring ability is even stronger than the Rockets' third point guard Huo Lao San. After three years of playing in the G League, his offensive maturity is higher than that of Shepard.

Another Development League player, Isaiah Crawford, has a slightly worse resume than Davidson. He has played for a year in his career and spent most of last year playing in the Kings' subordinate system Stockton Kings. He is also a forward with offensive attributes. He scored 13 points + 5.6 rebounds in 24 games, and has a certain three-pointer attribute in the Development League three-pointers close to 45%. The Rockets' three two-way contracts this year are actually quite interesting, and the three are attacking players. In addition to these two, Kevin Harris is also an all-around forward. This is completely different from the team's idea of reinforcing substitutes among official players.

The Rockets' 14-man roster are basically engineers except Durant. DFS and Capela have strengthened the long boards on the flanks and inside. The former Suns wing Josh Okogie was basically a DFS who was smaller and had no three-pointers, and he made up for the long board of the bucket.

To be honest, the most worry among the main players is that once Durant is injured (this is not a crow's mouth, but a reasonable expectation. Even if he is not injured, KD will miss at least 10 games in injury management). It is possible that the Rockets' main players are not averaging 10 games per game. In addition to Durant and Shin Kyung who has to sit and play every round, the Rockets' offensive talent is probably Shepard. It's too gamble to pressure a second-year student who has played average summer league this year.

So I personally think that the Rockets may have these two-way contract players with higher offensive attributes in certain games next season, and their offensive firepower is something the Rockets lack relatively. The scene may be quite weird, with a bunch of 3D players who are full of defense protecting the two-way contract players playing. The list of 17 people has been decided, are you satisfied?
