A big fight! The Rockets 10 strong players secretly fought in one position, the forward line is too luxurious, and 2 players signed the wrong team?

The Rockets have been playing team basketball in the past two seasons, and they don’t have that kind of superstar who is particularly outstanding. Shin Kyung is probably the only one who can be called an All-Star player. Last season, Shin Kyung was just a substitute All-Star center in the West. Although he is an All-Star, compared with those top league superstars, Shin Kyung still seems to be inadequate. However, after Durant came, the Rockets were strengthened, and their offensive end was especially best strengthened.

Durant can score 30 points per game if he wants. If Rockets coach Uduka is willing to give Durant arbitrary moves in the new season, it will definitely be very easy for Durant to lose data, but the Rockets will not do so at all. Durant's arrival only gives the Rockets an extra guarantee in the playoffs. In the regular season, Durant should not play all his strength.

And the Rockets are now strong, and there are basically 4 to 5 players in every position to compete. Even Durant is the No. 3 position that we are most good at, that is, the small forward position we are familiar with, the Rockets have 10 players to compete for this position. Obviously, Durant is the Rockets' superstar who is unstoppable starting small forward next season. It is expected that his playing time will be around 32 to 35 minutes per game.

There will be many players competing for the rest of the playing time. In addition to Kevin Durant, there are two new forwards of the Rockets, Smith Jr. and Ethan. Although Smith Jr. has played in the No. 4 position more, he performed quite well in the small forward position in the double tower lineup last season. And Amen Thompson is also competent for this position, and his breakthroughs and defense are both top-notch.

Rockets veteran Tate is the former starter at this position. During the Rockets' reconstruction that year, Tate has been the Rockets' starter and performed well. The Rockets' veteran Finney Smith signed this summer is also a major contender in the Rockets' No. 3 position. He can defend and shoot three-pointers. This standard 3D wing should be reused by Uduka next season.

and Okoji, who was signed by the Rockets at a basic salary, can also defend and shoot in the small forward position. In the recent African Cup men's basketball game, Okoji was also a star-level figure in the Nigerian team, and he performed very well. There are also two small forwards with two-way contracts, Isaiah Crawford and Kevin Harris, who can both compete in the No. 3 position.

Cameron Matthews, who holds the training camp contract, is also a defensive player in the No. 3 position, so there are 10 players who can compete in the Rockets' small forward position. Even if Durant focuses on health basketball next season, other small forwards of the Rockets can still reach this position. What Uduka needs to worry about now is that these Rockets players do not have enough playing time, rather than that no one is available in the small forward position.

The Rockets' forward line has always been not strong enough, and next season, the Rockets will usher in the strongest forward lineup combination in the past 20 years. I believe that coach Uduka will almost always be dazzling when choosing to employ people. With such a strong forward team, the Rockets' goal next season will naturally point to winning the championship.

But then again, Finney Smith and Okogie defended the gate in the offseason, and it seemed that they had signed the wrong team. After all, the Rockets' forward competition is too fierce. After the two of them arrive, their playing time will inevitably be affected. It is even doubtful whether Okogi can enter the rotation. If they go to other teams, their playing time will inevitably be guaranteed. Therefore, from this we can see how "luxury" the Rockets' forward line is.
