The new season starts! The Rockets 14-man roster is released! The forward lineup is ranked 1st in the deep league

On July 23, according to NBA reporter Shams, the Rockets signed Hornets guard Okogi last season with a one-year $3.1 million contract. So far, the Rockets' lineup list has reached 14 players with guaranteed contracts next season, which meets the NBA's rules and standards. At the same time, the Rockets' total salary is only $1.2 million away from the 1st richest line. This means that the Rockets will not continue to sign other players before the start of the season.

Center: Shinkyung, Adams, Capela

Forwards: Durant, Thompson, Jabarri Smith, Finney Smith, Ethan, Tate, Green

Defenders: Van Vleet, Shepard, Holiday, Okogie

The Rockets' starting lineups are expected to be Shin Kyung, Jabarri, Durant, Thompson and Van Vleet. The main substitute rotations are Capela, Ethan, Finney Smith, and Shepard. As for five people including Adams, Green, Tate, Okogie, Holiday, etc., they will not enter the regular rotation lineup.

It is worth mentioning that the Rockets have many top outside defensive players in the league in the new season. Among them, Amen Thompson was selected for the Best Defensive Team last season and will strive for the Best Defensive Player Award in the new season. As for Jabbarry Smith, Finney Smith, Ethan and Okogie, they are also players who are good at defense. Although Durant is the Rockets' offensive core, Durant has a height of 2.11 meters and a wingspan of 2.13 meters, and is also the top defensive player in the league.

Rockets head coach Uduka will use a lot of joint defense tactics in the new season. When Jabbarry Smith, Finney Smith, Ethan, Amen and Durant appear on the Rockets at the same time, this may be the five most defensively efficient players in the league. Moreover, the Rockets have three high-level lineups that have achieved results at the beginning of last season, or two-tower lineups.
