Average of 5 points and 6 rebounds! Experts suggest that the Pistons chase the Rockets ace center and are expected to win the starting position

Basketball

In today's NBA league, big players are becoming more and more popular. Now it is no longer the simple three-point era and small ball era. The Rockets and Warriors' small ball lineup battle was impressive to everyone, but now big players are increasingly playing an important role in the game and have more tactical status.

The regular season MVPs in recent years have been basically won by center players, such as the Nuggets' super center Jokic and the Philadelphia 76ers' super center Embiid. Even if Alexander is more likely to win an MVP this season, Jokic is still one of the strongest contenders. Some teams that need big men will inevitably turn their attention to the free agent market this summer.

Pistons have emerged this season and have become the fastest-progressing team in the Eastern Conference. After introducing veteran Harris, Hardaway Jr. and shooter Malik Beasley, the overall strength of this team has increased rapidly. Coupled with the performance of Cningham, the Pistons are equivalent to the surprise Houston Rockets in the Western Conference in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons are becoming more and more comprehensive, with super defenders like Cunningham and young players like Osar Thompson. There are veterans like Tobias Harris and many excellent scorers on the front line, but they still lack certain experience in the inside line. The two centers Jaylen Durham and Stewart performed relatively in moderation this season. If they can add a veteran to the center position, the Pistons' overall performance next season will obviously be better.

NBA expert Justin Grasso suggested that the Pistons should strive for Rockets' substitute center Steven Adams. In his opinion, the Pistons shouldn't have big deals this summer because they're very happy with their current roster. However, the Pistons management has also turned its attention to some capable free agents, such as Rockets veteran center Adams. This expert believes that Adams is tall and strong, and more importantly, his experience is rich.

statistics show that in the 7 games between the Rockets and the Warriors, Adams performed very well, and averaged 5 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block per game. The data does not reflect how outstanding Adams is, and the Rockets' double tower tactics make the Warriors very passive. The Pistons don't need Adams to do too much. He can become the third center of the team outside Durham and Stewart. Adams' rebounding ability and height are better than any center of the Pistons.

The expert believes that the Pistons should pursue Adams with all their might. After all, Adams' contract has expired. As long as they can issue a reasonable contract next season, they will have the chance to sign the Rockets' big man. Adams has strong defensive toughness and rich experience, which is also a good addition to the Pistons' inside.

It can even be said that with Adams' ability, he can completely squeeze out Jaylen Durham and Stewart and become the Pistons' starting center next season. After all, in the Rockets' playoffs, Adams averaged more than 20 minutes per game, and his tactical status was no less than that of a starter. If the Pistons want to win quickly next season, it seems like a better choice to start with Adams, of course, provided that Adams is willing to join the Pistons. However, the Rockets will definitely not let people go easily, and they will strive to renew Adams in a timely manner.
