3.08 million yuan basic salary! The Rockets have long wanted you, Stone talks about Okogie s advantages

Last season, the Rockets ranked fifth in the league in regular season defensive efficiency, and this is still the case where Jaylen Green dragged him down. Because the Rockets' last two defenses are Shepard and Green. Green fell two, Shepard fell one. Shepard's defensive poorness comes from insufficient confrontation, but there is no problem with his defensive awareness. So improving core strength can be solved, while Green is a problem of consciousness. Fortunately, Green replaced Durant, which was a high move. Durant was able to make the Rockets explode on both offense and defense.

Durant's key ball ability is well filled in the Rockets' firepower defects last season and allows the offense to rank among the top 10 levels in the league. The Rockets will become even more terrifying on the defensive end, and the players who are mainly strengthened can all defend. Electric Fan Finney Smith was the Lakers' No. 1 gate last season. With the team having two defensive weaknesses, Doncic and Reeves, Electric Fan still plays the Lakers' strongest high-level defensive data. Capela is also a defendable inside player, which has been proven by the Rockets. Not to mention Okogi,

, {If it's just a defensive back, Okogi has the strongest defensive ability in the league. Especially when facing Harden and Curry, Okogie was simply a net when facing Harden. At that time, Harden's three-point jump shot at the peak of that year could be pressed by Okogie. This is due to Okogi being 1.93 meters tall, but having a terrifying 2.13 meters wingspan and weighing 97 kilograms, but his movement speed is not slow and he moves horizontally. After all, he is a first-round rookie in 2018.

Amen and Ethan defended Harden last season, and they were completely choked. Now there is another Okogie, and Harden's offense will test the solutions of the other Clippers even more. Not to mention the Warriors, Okogi can make the Rockets no longer afraid of Curry. In his past career, Okogi played the Warriors with 30% of his three-pointers, and 40% of his appearance when he played the Warriors. Okogi should be one of the best in the entire league when Curry defends, and fans teased Curry is full of Corgi in his bed.

This African Cup, Okogi's defense is still terrifying, and his three-point shooting percentage on the offensive end has been greatly improved. No wonder Uduka said that among the five Rockets' starting players, except for Durant, Shinkin, Amen and Van Jordan, the fifth player is still not sure which one is Smith, Ethan of the electric fan and Okogie. Okoji is also a player that the Rockets have long wanted to sign. As Rockets general manager Stone said in an interview recently, it is a huge profit to sign Okoji with a contract of 3.08 million per year.

Stone said: "We were very excited to get Okoji, and Uduka liked such players very much. And Okoji is a very young veteran, he is only 27 years old. This is more suitable for us. His defense is super strong, especially when facing the guard. Then when converting offense and switching defense, Okoji is also a very aggressive defender. Before he signed, we were very excited to have a chance to get him, and we finally signed him."

Okoji played for the Suns and Hornets last season, averaging 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, shooting percentage of 44.1%, 34.8% of three-pointers but 0.8 per game. In the 25 games of the Suns, Okogi averaged 6 points per game in just 14 minutes, shooting 49% and three-pointers 39%. Needless to say, Okogie defends, he is much better than Dillon, and even Okogie can defend LeBron James, but Dillon can't do it. But the three-point shooting is still a little deviant. If Okogi can continue to improve his three-point shooting percentage in the Rockets, he will be Dort of the Rockets in the future. But from the analysis of defense, Okogi has already made a huge bonus to the Rockets.
