The Houston Rockets' new forward Dorian Finney-Smith recently spoke to the Houston Chronicle local media Houston, in which he also talked about his views on the new team.

Fenney Smith said: Hey, I think my characteristics and style of play are perfectly in line with the current system of this team, and also perfectly in line with what they already have. This is a tough and very defensive team, and these things are what I pursue on the court. Of course, now we have added an amazing all-time player like Kevin Durant to our team, and we all know what he can help the team on the offensive end. But we also have players like Fred VanVleet and I, we both entered the league as undrafts, and I entered the league with him, so I know very well what kind of player he is and how he is on the court. So I'm very excited to join the Rockets and be able to play alongside these great players. I also believe that I can quickly find my place in the team and provide a lot of help and support to the team in the new season.

Middle last season, Finney Smith's old club, the Los Angeles Lakers, made a deal with Brooklyn. The Lakers sent D 'Angelo Russell, the backcourt player who performed poorly at the time, to the Nets and received Finney Smith from the Nets. After joining the Lakers, Finney Smith made a total of 43 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 28.8 minutes, averaging 7.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks. He also had 0.9 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.2%, three-point shooting percentage was 39.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 71.4%. During the playoffs, Finney Smith made a total of 5 appearances, averaging 33.9 minutes per game, averaging 6.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He also had one turnover and 3.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.4% and his three-point shooting percentage was 36.8%. After the free market opened this summer, the Rockets and Finney Smith quickly reached an agreement. Finney Smith received a four-year contract with a total amount of $52.71 million. Considering that Finney Smith is already a 32-year-old veteran, it is a pretty good result to get such a contract. I don’t know what kind of performance Finney Smith can perform with the Rockets next season. Can this excellent 3D type forward player maintain the level of last season and provide enough support for the Rockets on both offense and defense?
