Shepard only won one vote, Beverly shows goodwill to the Rockets want to return to the NBA, Stone evaluates Holiday Jr.

Shepard was praised by many experts before the draft and in the summer league. At that time, many NBA executives and scouts thought Shepard had a chance to win the rookie of the season.

Fegan's concerns became a reality, and he said before the draft that Shepard's defense may not meet Uduka's requirements. Although Uduka gave Shepard a chance, he was unable to adapt to the high-intensity confrontation in the NBA and eventually sat on the bench with Whitmore.

Although Shepard had several good performances after the All-Star Game, he ultimately missed the best rookie, the first and second rookie teams, and only won one vote in the selection. Some fans joked: This is what the Rockets reporters shot.

After the regular season, some media listed Shepard as the Rockets' most disappointing player. Although some American media have included Shepard on the tradable list, Fertita is still optimistic about this young man.

Feltita said of Shepard: He didn't get the chance because the Rockets performed well. If he can start 80 games like other players, he will average 20 points per game. You've seen how he played in three starts, and he averaged 19 points per game.

Hou City media "spacecityscoop" recently stated that the Rockets still want to train Shepard and his playing time may increase next season. Substitute point guard Holiday Jr. may be given up. If Holiday Jr. leaves, the Rockets need to add an experienced defender, so consider Beverly.

Two years ago, the Rockets entered the second phase of reconstruction, and some Houston fans expressed their hope that Beverly would come back through social media. Beverly responded: I miss Houston very much.

Beverly, born in 1988, publicly expressed his affection for the Rockets many times, and he wanted to return to the NBA to play.

Beverly said that the Rockets have a promising future and have a good team culture. The strength of this team comes from Uduka, Dillon and Van Jordan. The Rockets ranked second in the West, and Beverly said that the first hero is General Manager Stone, and the second is head coach Uduka. Van Jordan, Sengon and the medical team all contributed.

Beverly recently said: I will return to the NBA next season, and I contacted several general managers and several coaches. I don't need any help, just invite me to the training camp and I will do the rest.

Beverly said three months ago that many players chose to retire at the age of 30, and they still maintain a high level at the age of 36, just like James, Harden and Curry.

"spacecityscoop" says Beverly can teach young players of the Rockets and play a role in the locker room. Previously, the Houston media also suggested that the Rockets welcome Harden back, so that he could make the young Houston players more comfortable.

Jelly Holiday's contract with $4.9 million next season is the team's option. Houston reporter Ben Dubos said general manager Stone will evaluate Holiday Jr. to see if he wants to keep him. Holiday is only 28 years old and is not very old. He averaged 5.5 points per game in 13 minutes of the regular season this season, shooting percentage of 43.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.8%. Holiday Jr. only played 3 games in the playoffs, averaging 4 points in 9 minutes per game, shooting 40% from the field and 40% from the three-point shooting percentage.

Jen Holiday's shooting can play a role in the regular season, but Uduka has to fight for defense and rebounds in the playoffs, so he did not give him too many opportunities to play.
