Unsure of staying or leaving? Experts analyze Dillon: Tactical status declines, playing time is divided by Rockets rookies

The reason why the Rockets crazily introduced veterans during the offseason two years ago was that at that time, the Rockets had too many young players, and there were too few veterans in the lineup, especially those who had seen big scenes and even won the championship. So at that time, Rockets general manager Stone not only signed Uduka as the new coach of the Rockets to replace Silas, but also introduced several veterans in one go.

like champions Van Vreet, Jeff Green, Grizzlies' starting player Dillon Brooks, center Jock Landale, who performed well in the playoffs at the time, and even old shooter Aaron Holiday who could defend and shoot. These players joined the Rockets at the same time one summer, instantly making the Rockets stronger.

The Rockets' record in the past two seasons has also improved wildly with the naked eye: the Rockets won 41 and lost 41 in the first year, almost entering the playoffs; and this season, the Rockets became the second in the Western Conference, which surprised many experts. They did not expect the Rockets to improve so quickly.

Now the Rockets' plan has been realized, and young players have become the mainstay of the team under the leadership of the veterans. Even if the Rockets no longer pursue superstars next season, relying solely on these young players and veterans' partners, the Rockets will still be able to show strong competitiveness. So this summer, the Rockets' main goal is not to introduce superstars, but to strengthen the weak positions and leave behind players who should be left, such as Adams, Van Vreett, etc.

In addition, what is the tactical status of the Rockets' Dillon Brooks next season? Some experts believe that Dillon Brooks is still one of the best shooters in the team. He made 6.3 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of nearly 40%, and a real shooting percentage of 55%, which is higher than the team's three core players, Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung and Van Vreet. Among the important starting rotation players, Dillon's data surpassed Smith Jr. and Ethan, and even more so than Amen Thompson.

So in terms of shooting, Dillon Brooks is the elite level among the Rockets. On the defensive end, Dillon Brooks has always performed well, but his dribbling skills are still worrying. Although Dillon Brooks' contribution to the Rockets' resilience cannot be measured by data for two seasons, the Rockets are now facing a new and old alternating new, and the 29-year-old Dillon Brooks is expected to decline next season.

Judging from the data and age, Dillon Brooks' future seems to be not in the Rockets. In other words, the Rockets may trade Dillon Brooks this offseason, because the Rockets need to give Smith Jr., Amen Thompson and Ethan more playing time next season, and Dillon Brooks' playing time will be divided by these young players. If the Rockets think scoring is important, powerful forward Whitmore will also split Dillon's playing time. More importantly, the Rockets also have a 10-game pick in the first round, and the expert believes that the Rockets may take away Carter Bryant, a tall, powerful athletic and defensive player. In this way, the Rockets can use this rookie to replace Dillon Brooks. Whether Dillon Brooks will leave or stay will be decided by the Rockets management.
