Rockets get a bargain for one-year two-way contract? Signing a 22-year-old double-sports guard, recognized by the legendary: He is like Alon Holiday

Although the overall strength of the Development League is far inferior to that of the NBA, the players here basically have good strength. Especially last season's regular season MVP player JD Davidson, who averaged 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game. With his beautiful statistics and strong performance, he won the Best Player in the Development League last season. The Rockets probably also took a fancy to his data and ability, so they signed the 22-year-old newcomer defender. Although Davidson is not a star, he is also a rare double-aware defender in the NBA. He can not only attack with the ball, but also provide assists to help his teammates score. In the playoffs of the Development League last season, Davidson averaged 13 assists per game. His personal data is definitely unspeakable, and he also has the ability to play in NBA games, but at the age of 22, he lacks a chance.

The Rockets signed him a few days ago to give him an extra backup to the backcourt. After all, both Shepard and Aaron Holiday have their own shortcomings. Shepard's performance is unstable and his defensive ability is poor; Holiday is short. Although Davidson is not the kind of well-known star in the league, some people think that the Rockets signed the right person this time. For example, former Atlanta Hawks star point guard Jeff Teague talked about the Rockets' seemingly insignificant signing in a show.

The Rockets gave Davidson a two-way contract and signed the Development League MVP with a one-year two-way contract, which seemed to be a successful take-off. Teague talked about Davidson on a show, and he said he felt Davidson would get a chance with the Rockets. Because in his opinion, Davidson is like the Rockets' substitute guard Aaron Holiday, now, and this is not disrespectful to him. He had thought Aaron Holiday was leaving the league before, but now he has found his place with the Rockets and has performed well, and Davidson may also get the chance like Holiday did. So it seems that the Rockets really did not sign the wrong person to be recognized by Jeff Teague.

And Davidson is young enough, and his data in the Development League last season was also quite beautiful. After all, the Development League's MVP also has a very high value. For the Rockets, they are not able to afford the salary space now, and signing the Development League's MVP dual-athlete defender with a trivial two-way contract is obviously worth a try. If Davidson is not used to the Rockets' tactical system, he will give up on him directly; if Davidson can play in the same state and data as the Development League, then it is obvious that the Rockets' signing is really great.

Especially when the Rockets lack manpower in the backcourt and the only defenders who can be reliable are Van Vreet, Holiday and Shepard, although Davidson's joining cannot occupy the main rotation position of the Rockets like a star point guard, he can score and pass the ball. In some games that require his performance, I believe Davidson will get a chance. Furthermore, the Rockets need to play 82 regular season games, and it is impossible to expect Van Vreet, Shepard and Holiday to all the defenders. If someone is out due to injury, then JD Davidson can wait for his own chance.
