The 2025 Rockets Summer League starts on July 12: Shepard, Roddy and Matthews participate together!

The Houston Rockets gave the No. 10 pick and No. 59 pick in the first round of the second round to the Phoenix Suns in the 2025 draft, resulting in this draft as a spectator. Think about it, what if a rookie comes in a trade? Not that there is no training time. In the end, Stone still found a undraft after the draft, and signed a two-way contract with Cameron Matthews from the University of Mississippi after the draft.

Cameron Matthews is 23 years old, 201 cm tall, weighs 107 kg, and plays as a striker. In the NCAA league this season, he averaged 7.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.4 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game, shooting 51.4% from the field, shooting 24.0% from three-pointers, and shooting 50% from free throws.

2025 Las Vegas Summer League will start on July 12, with the Rockets playing against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Detroit Pistons, the Atlanta Hawks and the Portland Trail Blazers in four games. The last qualifying match is to be decided. The specific time for the four summer league games of the Houston Rockets in Las Vegas is: (below is)

1, 9 a.m. on July 12, 3 a.m. on July 14, 3 a.m. against the Detroit Pistons, 3 a.m. on July 15, 3 a.m. on July 15, 3 a.m. against the Atlanta Hawks, 7 a.m. on July 18, 7 a.m. on July 18, 5 a.m. on the Portland Trail Blazers, 3 a.m. on July 14, 3 a.m. on July 15, 3 a.m. on July 15, 3 a.m. on July 15, 7 a.m. on July 18, 5 a.m. on the last qualifying match.

In this Las Vegas Summer League, the Houston Rockets will send 2024 Tetra Flower Reed Shepard to lead Dante, David Roddy and undrafted Cameron Matthews to participate. Shepard will be reused in the second season, and Uduka and Stone also proposed to give Shepard more playing time at the season summary meeting. After experiencing last season's experience, Shepard has a new understanding of the NBA, and has also checked for shortcomings and made up for shortcomings through a year of hard work to welcome the arrival of next season.

Shepard's most powerful ability is his high emotional intelligence and his ability to see his position very calmly, not be happy with things or be sad with himself. The performance last season was not very satisfactory, not only because of his own confrontation and psychological quality, but also because there are too many rookies in the team, Uduka didn't care about cultivating new players. Fortunately, the Rockets also understood the principle of survival of the fittest. Jaylen Green chose to trade for Durant at the right time without playing. This also gave Shepard and Whitmore a chance.

Finally, I hope the Rockets will take the lead in the 2025 season under the leadership of Uduka and strive to reach the Western Conference Finals. Shepard will also seize the opportunity, prove his ability with practical actions, and strive to be the starting point guard.
