Only 39 million in 3 years! Ranked first in the league in offensive rebounds! The Rockets made a fortune signing him

So far this season, the Houston Rockets rank first in the league with an average of 50 rebounds per game. They also rank first in the league in rebounding rate of 56% and offensive rebounding rate of 40.2%. Since the Rockets lead the league in rebounding rate and offensive rebounding rate, their team's second-chance scoring and offensive efficiency rank first in the league. Obviously, it is precisely because of the strong guarantee of inside rebounds that the Rockets are so unscrupulous on the offensive end!

In addition, the Rockets ranked first in the league with an average of 124.7 points per game, an offensive efficiency of 122.4, a net efficiency of +12.3, and a three-point shooting percentage of 42.7%. There is no doubt that this Rockets team is definitely a top offensive and defensive team.

In the opening game of the new season, when the Rockets faced the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, they sent out the top five players (Durant + Amen + Shen Jing + Adams + Smith) who set a record for the average height of starters in history (2.09 meters).

In that game, although the Rockets lost to the Thunder by one point in double overtime, they outrebounded the Thunder 52-38. This can be said to be a good start for their absolute dominance in rebounding this season! Although the Rockets used Okogie to replace Adams in the regular starting lineup with Durant, Amen, Shen Jing, and Jabari Smith in just two "Death Five" games, the Rockets' dominance in rebounding has not diminished at all.

According to statistics, there are currently as many as 7 players in the Rockets averaging more than 5 rebounds per game. Among them, center Shen Jing ranks first in the team with an average of 9.9 rebounds per game. In addition, Durant, Amen Thompson, Smith, Ethan, Adams, and Capela all average more than or equal to 5 rebounds per game. There is no doubt that the long-standing Rockets have now fully demonstrated their terrifying rebounding defensive capabilities!

Among the many rebounders in the Rockets, Steven Adams is undoubtedly the most special one, because he is called an offensive rebounder. So far this season, Adams has averaged 22.5 minutes per game, contributed 6.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1 steal, and 0.7 blocks, shooting 66.7% from the field and 78.6% from the free throw line. What is particularly shocking is that more than half of the 9.5 rebounds Adams averaged per game were offensive rebounds!

According to NBA official website statistics, Rockets center Steven Adams currently averages 5.0 offensive rebounds per game and has an offensive rebound rate of 21.3%, ranking first in the league in both statistics.

There is no doubt that the Rockets can lead the league with an offensive rebound rate of 40.2%, and Adams definitely takes the greatest credit! It is particularly worth mentioning that this is the data played by Adams, who has now become the Rockets' backup center. If coach Uduka insists on using the starting "death five", maybe Adams will have more offensive rebounds than he does now. There is no doubt that Steven Adams on the court is simply born for offensive rebounds, and his nose for offensive rebounds is excellent!

Every time I see Steven Adams grabbing precious offensive rebounds in the penalty area again and again, Rockets general manager Stone must have woken up from his dreams with a smile, because the 39 million he spent on Steven Adams over three years this summer was simply worth it!

Just imagine, it took only 39 million in 3 years to successfully sign Steven Adams, the rebounding maniac who ranks first in the league in offensive rebounds. This signing of the Rockets is bound to make a lot of money. Not to mention that Adams also averaged 6.5 points, 1.7 assists, 1 steal, 0.7 blocks and 4.5 backcourt rebounds per game. He averaged 5 offensive boards per game and was worth an annual salary of 15 million. What do you think about this?
