Average of 16+2+1, should the Rockets chase the super shooter? Under investigation, the profits of signing him outweigh the risks

As we all know, the problem with the Houston Rockets last season was that there was no such star who could stand up and score at critical moments. Shin Jing is not good, and Van Vritte does not have this ability. Although the young Jaylen Green is known as "Go to Joe and Ke" and is full of talent, he does not have this ability either. Therefore, the Rockets directly sent Jaylen Green to the Suns this summer in exchange for Durant in order to make up for the Rockets' shortcomings and shortcomings in this regard.

But now there is only one Durant, which cannot make the Rockets' weak outside shooting exponentially improve, so in addition to Durant, the Rockets also introduced wing shooter Finney Smith this summer, and they will reuse the 21-year-old young guard Shepard next season.

If Shepard can hit 50% of his three-point shooting percentage in Kentucky, the Rockets' outside shooting will be perfect. But the problem is that whether it is last season's regular season or this year's summer league, Shepard's three-point shooting percentage is not too high. Although she can shoot three-pointers and pass the ball, Shepard's performance is indeed quite disappointing. So does the Rockets still need to continue to strengthen now?

Posted by the Rockets' self-media ROCKETS on SI, stating that the Rockets should pursue Malik Beasley, the super shooter who played for the Pistons last season? The answer is obviously yes. You know, as the super sixth man for the Pistons last season, Malik Beasley's statistics were quite beautiful.

In 82 regular season games, Beasley played a full-time performance, and averaged 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in 27.8 minutes, with a shooting percentage of 43% and a three-point shooting percentage of up to 41.6%. He ranked second in the league's sixth-man-season last season, and was one of the heroes of the Pistons' return to the playoffs, and was the best partner of the Pistons' core guard Cningham.

But Beasley is now under investigation for well-known negative reasons. The Pistons are not planning to renew their contract with Beasley, and he has become a complete free agent. He is not out of his investigation yet and is likely to be charged. But for the Rockets, the risk of chasing Beasley outweighs the benefits? Although Beasley is at risk of being suspended or even expelled from the NBA, if the Rockets can sign him with a basic salary, the Rockets will get a very high-quality outside shooter next season. In addition to Van Vreet and Shepard, the Rockets will have a very useful backup guard.

Of course, the Rockets may also face some risks, but overall, the risk of signing Beasley is lower than the benefit. If Beasley can get out safely, joining the Rockets is also a good choice. After all, the Rockets now have a quota of players that can be provided to Beasley.

However, the Rockets must also be prepared to have both people and money. Once Beasley is offered a contract but he is suspended, the Rockets' money may be wasted. However, the Rockets can always pay attention to Beasley. If Beasley escapes unscathed, they can immediately pursue him. Although the Rockets signing Beasley may trigger the first hard salary cap, if the Rockets can cut some salary space, Beasley is likely to join the Rockets.
