New scout for all-around point guard

By De LianaPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

A closer look at the Rockets' current roster, full of talent to describe it is not too much, they hoarded many young people with unlimited potential. In a previous European Championship game between Turkey and Bulgaria, Rockets inside Shin Yukking cut 20 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists on 9-of-10 shooting in 25 minutes of play. Shin-Young's outstanding performance has certainly caught the attention of the outside world, and it is believed that Rockets GM Stone will focus on the all-around big man in the new season. In addition, Jayne Green is also going to average 20+ performance in last season, their future can not help but cause longing.

However, the Rockets still do not have a good choice at point guard, Galen Green is very good at playing without the ball, while Porter Jr. does not have first-class ball-handling, organizational ability, his threat in scoring, more suitable for his position is point guard, not point guard. So, if the Rockets end the rebuild next summer, need to need a guard with top passing vision and passing ability in the point guard line. The American media "spaciousness" recently published a news, they said the Rockets intend to discuss with the Hornets to take Barbaric Smith for Lamely Ball trade, and the media also drew up a specific trade program, its content is as follows.

The Houston Rockets send: Barbaric Smith, Kevin Porter Jr. and Ty rod Washington Jr. along with the first-round picks from the Bucks in 2023 and from the Nets in 2024 and 2026.

Charlotte Hornets send: Lamely Ball and PK Washington.

As we all know, Lamely Ball in the past season, just like growing into the league's hot new generation of top stream point guard, he averaged 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.6 steals of comprehensive data, to achieve the first time in his career to be selected as an All-Star, only two years into the NBA can play all-star data, indeed highlights his amazing talent. Ball has a height of 2m01 and a weight of 172 pounds, which makes him have a huge physical advantage at the point guard position, when Magic Johnson was also a guard with a height of more than two meters. The three ball's passing vision does not lose Magic Johnson in any way, God like white chocolate general passing skills, often allowing Ball to send out ghostly assists. It is worth mentioning that Ball also has a 38.9% three-point shooting rate, and his long-range shooting ability should not be underestimated.

It can be said that Lamely Ball and Jayne Green partner more suitable, one can defend can organize, one good at no-ball offense, such a back court combination will make the Rockets' ceiling much higher, and a will pass the guard can directly revitalize the whole team's system, the Rockets' other positions will also benefit from it. In this deal, although the Rockets paid Barbaric Smith as well as small Porter, but can get three balls, is still a solid deal.

In addition, PK Washington also has excellent physical quality, his bouncing ability and shooting level are very good, last season PK Washington averaged 10.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals, his arrival can make up for the loss brought by the departure of Barbaric Smith, and Stone is also very appreciated PK Washington's athletic ability, as early as when Wood was not traded, Stone had conceived the Wood for PK Washington deal.

Little Porter has good talent and prospects, impact is also very strong, but ultimately in the style of play, and Galen Greene there is a certain conflict, and the Rockets in next year's draft year can still make up for it, can choose a top interior, so that the Rockets in the next few decades are worth looking forward to.

So, are the Hornets making this deal a losing proposition? Lamely Ball is undoubtedly a non-sale for Jordan, but what if the Rockets give attractive chips? Barbaric Smith was supposed to be this year's draft pick, and he has no less talent to develop than the three-ball, while Porter Jr. and Ty Ty Tyre Washington Jr. are both players who can be keyed in. In the powerhouse East, the Hornets have no hope of making a playoff push, and they can choose to swing for the fences and prepare well for next year's big draft year. Two Bucks first-round picks could be worth a lot, after all, when Durant and Irving leave, the Bucks will most likely collapse. The Rockets gave chips that could already be traded for a superstar-level player, and obviously, the Hornets aren't losing out.
