Average of 25+5+8! Annual salary is less than one million? The Rockets successfully picked up a bargain, and Uduka praised the fourth point guard

The current Houston Rockets lineup is really strong, and all kinds of excellent players are competing in the team. Some players who can firmly win the main lineup in other teams can only be willing to be substitutes in the Rockets. For example, the Rockets' Ethan, Finney Smith, Adams and Capela, these players should have the opportunity to become starters when they go to other teams, but among the Rockets, they can only commit to the second team next season, which can also demonstrate the strength of the Rockets' lineup and the advantages of the depth of the lineup.

Even some players in the Rockets' edge lineup are very well-known, such as 23-year-old point guard JD Davidson, who is currently only the Rockets' fifth point guard. Davidson has now upgraded to the Rockets' fourth point guard because veteran Van Vreett was reimbursed for the season due to injury. The point guards in front of him include Rockets' 22-year-old rising star Amen Thompson, 21-year-old shooter Shepard, and 29-year-old Aaron Holiday. Davidson is only the fourth point guard, but don't underestimate the 23-year-old marginal point guard. He has extremely strong passing and scoring abilities.

Davidson played for the Celtics last season. Players who can occupy a quota for the Celtics are definitely not ordinary people. After all, the Celtics have won the NBA championship before. Davidson played for the Celtics last season, and in these 16 regular season games, he averaged 2.1 points per game in 5.8 minutes. However, due to the existence of star point guards such as Derek White and Ju Holiday, Davidson does not have much playing time, and he is transferred to the Development League teams under the Celtics most of his time.

In the regular season of the Development League last season, Davidson averaged 25.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game, and he also became the regular season MVP. Davidson was even more amazing in the playoffs. His scores and assists rose. In several playoff games, he averaged 34.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 13.3 assists per game, as well as two steals and one block. Not only can Davidson pass the ball and score himself, his shooting percentage is not low. More importantly, he is also an all-around defender who can defend and dare to fight, which is amazing. The Rockets were able to sign Davidson as a complete success in finding a bargain. Davidson didn't even get a standard NBA contract with the Rockets. He just got a very cheap two-way contract, his annual salary next season is less than $1 million, and even if the Rockets cut him, there will be no losses. The Rockets now have insufficient salary space, and Davidson's contract will not occupy the Rockets' salary space at all.

Can sign a player in the Development League last season with such a cheap contract. Rockets general manager Raphael Stone has really successfully picked up another bargain. Signing Davidson is also a masterpiece. He added a young player to the Rockets' No. 1 position. Even if Van Vreet is reimbursed next season, even if Shepard and Amen Thompson perform poorly, Uduka can still think of JD Davidson at a critical moment.

Davidson has been very active in training camp in recent days and has even received praise from Uduka. Uduka said that Davidson performed well, played very aggressively, had solid ball control skills, and was able to make excellent decisions in pick-and-roll tactics. He is burly and can complete the entire game of leading defense. He can inject a tough confrontation rhythm into the team with both offense and defense. He seized the opportunity to show himself well.

Since it can be recognized by Uduka, it means that Davidson should not be a problem to stay in the team and enter the new season. If Uduka can continue to be recognized by Uduka, then the Rockets have a chance to convert his two-way contract into a formal NBA contract at some time in the middle of the season.
