Average 8 points and 4 rebounds per game! If the Rockets sign 1 player, can they replicate the Nuggets tactics? Shin Kyung transforms into Jokic Jr.

Although the Rockets' main center Alperen Shin-kyung had low offensive efficiency and a low shooting percentage in the playoffs, and it was difficult to score goals when playing singles at critical moments when the Warriors forward Chasing Dream Green, Shin-kyung's data is still good. According to statistics, he can contribute 21 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the playoffs, which is 2 points more than he averages in the regular season. Shin Kyung is one of the best players in the Rockets' playoffs, but his shooting ability needs to be further improved and his confrontation ability needs to be strengthened.
During the offseason this summer, we have seen Shen Jing posting training videos many times, and he has been polishing his skills and body. After all, as the first core and star of the Rockets, Shin Kyung has an obligation and is necessary to lead the Rockets back next season. Next season, Shen Jing's annual salary will increase to more than 30 million, which is a reward and an incentive for him.
In fact, Shin Kyung has always been one of the most passing centers in the league. Many experts and players believe that Shin Kyung's style is very similar to Jokic, the Nuggets' super inside player. Shin Kyung is known as "Little Jokic", which is beyond doubt. After all, they all have good scoring skills and offensive steps at the basket, and are also full of creativity and imagination in passing. But Shin Kyung is too young now and is far from reaching Jokic's height, but he gives him more time. I believe Shin Kyung will eventually move towards "Little Jokic" and lead the Rockets to win the championship.
Shen Jing also needs a group of helpers around him. When the Nuggets won the championship two years ago, Jokic was surrounded by not only star players like Murray, Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon, but also role players such as Jeff Green and Bruce Brown. NBA expert Killian Wright directly called on the Rockets, believing that they should chase Pelicans guard Bruce Brown who became free agents.
29-year-old Brown is not actually old. He can play in multiple positions, averaging 8.3 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists this season. Although the data is average, it looks very comprehensive, both offense and defense, and has organizational skills. Bruce Brown was the Nuggets' "panacea" back then, and he could take any position he needed.
According to this expert's analysis, the Nuggets' tactics could also be copied by the Rockets. He believes that when he played for the Nuggets, Brown had proven that he could become an explosive pick-and-roll player and an offensive organizer. Although he is not tall, he has good athletic ability, good running ability, and can also shoot quickly in offense and defense conversions, helping the Rockets maintain a faster pace in offense. When playing for the Nuggets that year, Bruce Brown was also good at using Jokic's screens, pick-and-rolls and field vision to score.
There are many people who compare Jokic with Shinkyung. If Brown can come to the Rockets to play, use Shin Kyung to play Jokic, and then match Bruce Brown on the outside, let them cooperate and imitate the internal and external connections of the Nuggets, the Rockets will surely make a difference in the playoffs.
Shin Kyung has Jokic's ability and vision in passing. As long as Shin Kyung can imitate Jokic's play, Brown is still the same Brown. As long as he plays his performance with the Nuggets back then, the Rockets can fully possess the classic tactics of the Nuggets back then. But the premise is that the Rockets must sign Bruce Brown this summer, otherwise there is no way to talk about it.
