6 shooters gather together! Rockets find the right person, and the firepower on the outside is upgraded! It s a pity to let go of the 29-year-old fort

Although the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage last season ranks in the middle and lower levels among all teams, the Rockets' main scoring methods are indeed very dependent on three-pointers. After all, the only players who can score and play back in the interior are probably the only All-Star center Alperon Shinkyung. Smith Jr. often works on the outside, and pulling him to the outside to shoot three-pointers is the main scoring method. Although Smith Jr. has been practicing mid-range shooting and ball-holding jump shots in the past two years, the effect is not particularly ideal. His main scoring method is three-point shooting from the outside, and other Rockets players also lack the ability to shoot mid-range.

Amen Thompson is one of the strongest forwards in the basket. He ranked first in the dunk list last season, but he is not good at mid-range shots and long shots. Although Jaylen Green of the Rockets often makes mid-range shots, his shooting percentage is extremely low. Now that the Rockets have sent Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks away, in exchange for Durant, what changes will the Rockets' outside firepower look like?

In fact, Jaylen Green is not an excellent outside shooter. Although Dillon Brooks' three-point shooting percentage was as high as 38% last season, his shooting percentage was not stable enough. Sometimes he could make three-pointers one after another in a game, and sometimes missed N three-point shots. It is also something Dillon Brooks often has. Durant is completely different. His three-point shooting percentage was as high as 42% last season and his overall shooting percentage exceeded 50%. He is the top three-point shooter in the NBA.

In fact, in addition to Durant, the Rockets also have five shooters, such as veteran Van Vreet, who averaged 18 points per game last season and had a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40%. The key game is full of energy, which is Van Vreet's characteristic. In addition, Aaron Holiday, a veteran, is reliable in both the playoffs and the regular season three-pointers. His regular season three-point shooting percentage reaches 38%, which is the best among the Rockets substitutes.

In addition, although the Rockets' new shooter Shepard did not shoot high in three-point shooting last season, once he overcomes his tension and adapts to the intensity of the NBA game, Shepard has a chance to score more than 50% of the three-point shooting percentage at Kentucky that year. After all, Shepard relies on his super ball maker and outside shooting. In addition, Finney Smith, who was hired by the Rockets this summer, shot more than 40% from three-pointers last season, and he is also a potential excellent pitcher.

In the end, the Rockets' Jabarry Smith Jr. has made a very stable three-point shooting percentage. Although it is not too high at around 35%, for a big outside man, it is not easy to shoot 35% of the three-point shooting percentage. No one dares to let Smith Jr. make three-pointers at will.

So the Rockets, who have gathered together with these six major shooters, don't need to worry about the firepower on the outside next season. The Rockets are looking for, whether it is Durant or Finney Smith, these new shooters can quickly improve the Rockets' three-pointers from the outside. But the Rockets actually made a mistake this summer, which was to let 29-year-old center Jock Landale go.

Although the Rockets signed Capela to replace Langdale as the third center, Langdale's three-point shooting percentage last season was as high as 42%. Although some buttery players are not focused enough in defense, Landal's three-point shooting has indeed been developed. After letting him go, Smith Jr. was the only one who could shoot three-pointers in the Rockets. If Landal can stay in the team, the Rockets' three-point firepower from the outside will definitely become stronger.
