Reject superstars from joining! Rockets offseason reverse operation: Xiao Xiu and Xiao Bu focus on three-point firepower, can they bet on three major beads counterattack?

Some fans who are looking forward to the Rockets making a difference in the offseason may be disappointed. Many fans believe that although the Rockets encountered a first round, they had a tiebreak battle with the Warriors who had won four championships in ten years. The most obvious problem with losing the series is the lack of a leading figure. For this reason, you only need to introduce a superstar in the offseason. Antetokounmpo and Durant were "breaked" by the team in the 24-25 season and are excellent candidates.

However, according to Stone, the Rockets will not chase any big-name stars. The Rockets must work hard to do in the offseason (improving the three-point strength of the lineup is the top priority):

Gary Harris in the 24-25 season, his role in the Magic has been greatly reduced, and his average playing time has dropped from 24 minutes to 14.8 minutes. This may be related to his decline in three-point shooting percentage. The three-point shooting percentage in the 24-25 season was 35.6%, while the three-point shooting percentage in the 23-24 season was 37.1%. Although this gap seems small, in the field of three-point shooting, this is enough to slide from excellent to mediocre.

However, this is not a big deal. The three-point shooting percentage has always fluctuated greatly. Data shows that the career three-point shooting percentage is 36.9%. The rookie season was the worst, with a three-point shooting percentage of only 20.4%. The Rockets have reason to believe that he can regain his three-pointer feel. Of course, the most important thing is that in addition to his three-pointer ability, Harris is also an excellent defensive player and will not seize the ball rights of the team's young core. He will become an ideal veteran in this team.

Lonnie Walker's defense is indeed inadequate, but his athleticism and scoring methods are obvious to all. Uduka may really stimulate his potential. Walker has the conditions to be a top defender, with his three-point shooting percentage last season at 35.4%, and his three-point shooting percentage in the 23-24 season reached 38.4%.

Dant Exam

In fact, the Rockets are no strangers to Exam. Although Exam has not played a game for the Rockets, he was once a member of it and part of the Harden trade.

At that time, Exam was a failed point guard, shooting more than 35% of three-pointers in only one season in six seasons, and averaged more than 3 assists per game in just one season. Now, although he has not averaged more than 3 assists per game (2.8 and 2.9), his three-point shooting percentage has exceeded 43%.

He suffered an injury (only played 20 games), and he should not appear in the Mavericks' lineup next season, and the Rockets can give him another chance.
