The biggest problem with the Rockets this season is that they have poor space. Why can t he be reused with the three-pointer?

The Rockets in the 24-25 season basically have many common features, both in the regular season and the playoffs: the star level is not high enough, and the players in the final stage are not strong enough to solve the strength; the Rockets have poor space, and the team's three-point shooting percentage ranks last in the league, which prompts the Rockets' inside offensive development to become constipated

The Rockets lack players with enough strength to digest the ball;

Among these problems, the Rockets' space difficulties and three-point shooting difficulties have been throughout the season. This season, the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage is 35.3%, ranking 21st in the league. In the playoffs, the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage is 34.2%. Among all the Rockets players, during the regular season, in the Rockets' rotating lineup, the players with the highest three-point shooting percentage were Alon Holiday and Dillon Brooks, with the two's three-point shooting percentage as high as 39%. In the playoffs, the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage was Jabbarri Smith Jr., with a 45% three-point shooting percentage, second was Van Vleet's 43%, and third was Aaron Holiday's 40%.

Aron Holiday signed the Rockets with a minimum salary of one year in the summer of 2013. In the 23-24 season, Aron Holiday's three-point shooting percentage was 38.7%, which was also the first in the team's regular season.

To a certain extent, Aron Holiday should be the most threatening space point for the team on the outside and the Rockets' most urgent player. Why is Aron Holiday not reused in the Uduka system and not a high position in the team?

This season, Alon Holiday played 62 games for the Rockets, averaging 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 turnovers, 0.3 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 43%, his three-point shooting percentage was 39%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 82%.

Playoffs, Aaron Holiday played 3 games, averaging 9 minutes per game, scoring 4 points, 0.7 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.3 turnovers and 1 foul, shooting percentage of 40%, three-point shooting percentage of 50%, and free throw shooting percentage of 50%.

From the perspective of data, Aaron Holiday's position in the Rockets is gradually declining. Last season was a link in the Rockets' important rotation lineup, and this season is at the end of the rotation lineup, or not in the rotation lineup.

At the beginning of the season, Aaron Holiday was not in the rotation lineup, which had a lot to do with the Rockets forcing more than 20 games to practice Shepard. During the season, Aaron Holiday didn't play much time in the rotation lineup, which had a lot to do with Uduka letting Amen Thompson change to the forward. Aaron Holiday did not enter the Rockets' regular rotation, and the Rockets' rotation order was 9th or even 10th.

In the bench lineup, Jabbarry Smith, Ethan and Adams played in order before Aaron Holiday. Therefore, in the playoffs, Aaron Holiday got very little playing time and many games were not in the rotation lineup.

Aaron Holiday is a player with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. Why did Uduka like to use Aaron Holiday last season? Has he given him fewer opportunities this season?

From the offensive end, Aaron Holiday was 1.83 meters tall and could only play as a playback defender, but in the Rockets, Aaron Holiday was not good at organizing and connecting his career.

Aron Holiday's offense is mainly shooting. Because he is too short, he is easily blocked when he breaks through the basket. Therefore, Aron Holiday avoids being blocked by the opponent and develops a small throw in the middle distance, which is quite accurate. At the same time, Aron Holiday's three-point shooting is very stable, with a career three-point shooting percentage of 37.2%. Whether it is a ball-holding or receiving shot, he is very accurate. Aron Holiday has good offensive ability.

However, as a functional player and as a defender, Aaron Holiday cannot support playing as a playback on the back. He can act as a space point on the court, but what he can do is very limited.

The most important thing is that Aaron Holiday is not tall and cannot switch defenses on the defensive end. Although his strength and tonnage are not bad, his lower set is very stable, and his defense is not at a loss, but his natural height is still very poor, and he is basically misplaced. Although Aaron Holiday has shortcomings in defense, his defensive skills and defensive awareness are good, but there is still a certain gap compared to Van Vleet's defensive stream of consciousness.

Therefore, when Uduka sets up the lineup, he rarely places Van Vleet and Aaron Holiday on the court at the same time. If there are more than just a test lineup, Aaron Holiday's role on the court has also declined even more after the ball rights declined this season. Only the ball rights can magnify Holiday's role.

Last summer, the Rockets signed Aaron Holiday for 10 million for two years. This contract has team options for the second year. That is to say, this summer, the Rockets decided whether to execute this contract. Judging from the role and characteristics of Aaron Holiday, the Rockets have a relatively high probability of execution. Aaron Holiday as a backup guard in the bench connection segment is still good. After all, the characteristics of both offense and defense are suitable for the Rockets.

The decline in Aaron Holiday's status and role is related to the rise of young Rockets' players need more ball rights, especially the Rockets Shepard and the move to Amen Thompson to play the forward. The Rockets need young players to take over, and the sacrifice of Aaron Holiday's playing time.

The Rockets still need to stay with Aaron Holiday for a year. After all, the Rockets' back line is still very incomplete at the moment. Van Vleet and Aaron Holiday are facing team options this summer. Amen's control has not been developed yet, and Shepard cannot enter the rotation lineup. Aaron Holiday needs to be over-received. Aaron Holiday is not expensive at an annual salary of 5 million. Aaron Holiday deserves a place for the Rockets.
