Key player for the Houston Rockets

his debut season Jalen Green left mixed feelings. Without a doubt, the G League Ignite product has great potential and is set to be one of the names to watch over the next five years. ONE combo guard electric, light and with a roof not yet discovered. You like the numbers rookie they were not negative at all (17.3 points, 2.6 assists, 42.6% accuracy), which earned him to be considered one of the top five rookies (1st All-Rookie). And with all that said, Green’s doubts about it are more than legitimate.

In his first year the player of Filipino origin didn’t live up to general expectations for a #2 draft pick. Very inconsistent, with somewhat questionable decision making and it wasn’t clear which position on the field would work best. Nevertheless, it is necessary to clarify Green is still 20 years old and that it has not passed the NCAA, a relevant fact since it is still under construction.

Without a doubt, the Californian manager is destined to be the most important player on the Rockets team. No one but Alperen Sengun has been able to surpass Jalen Green, who averaged the most points by a Houston rookie since Steve Francis (18.0 in 1999-2000). This will be a seminal year in his career complex because it will determine which direction it is headed.

The story ahead for the Houston Rockets in 2022-2023

Since signing James Harden to the Nets in January 2021, the Houston Rockets have done nothing but make the right decisions from the front office. Multiple actions that brought them a large number of future or current elections and that composed a very interesting work. On paper, the Texans have three potential All-Stars as it is Jalen Green, Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun, in addition to complementary figures such as Josh Christopher, Kevin Porter Jr, Usman Garuba or Tari Eason.

However, with these type of young teams success is not guaranteed, in fact it is usually more common for them to fall apart in a short period of time than a surge that leads them to the Playoffs. Therefore, after all the moves made, this academic year 2022-2023 will be so important.

Last season Stephen Silas was questioned for some time because he was unable to build a proper defense system, except the bet on two operators who are not clear (Green and Porter Jr.) raised a lot of questions. Will you keep the structure if it still doesn’t work, or will you look for a more common alternative?

In favor of Rafael Stone’s concept development, the fact that they are a very homogeneous team physically, with a short stature, but this can cause a lot of problems for their opponents if they manage to hit the key. Very important factor if they manage to function defensively speaking.
