Durant: Ethan s importance to the Rockets is obvious to all, and his ability is seriously underestimated by everyone

The Houston Rockets conducted daily training in the training camp. After the training, the team's new striker Kevin Durant accepted an interview with the media on the sidelines. In the interview, he talked about the topic of his teammate Tari Eason not being selected as the top 100 players in the league ranked by ESPN for the new season.

In this regard, Durant made it clear: Tali Eason is definitely an underestimated player, and it is unreasonable that he is not shortlisted for the top 100 players. In my opinion, Tari Eason is one of those players who deserves to be admired. In the real basketball circle, those who love the game and know how to appreciate the game, they all clearly can see Tari Eason's ability and his role on the court, and they know what kind of impact Tari Eason can bring to the game on the court. However, rankings may not be that important to him. We all recognize the role of his ability in the team. Tali Eason is a person who refuses to admit defeat. Not being shortlisted for the top 100 players may actually be an incentive for him.

In the NBA regular season last season, Ethan was affected by injuries in 82 games and played a total of 57 times, averaging 24.9 minutes per game. He scored 12 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.9 blocks, 1.1 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 48.7% from the field, 34.2% from the three-point range, and 76% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Ethan played a total of 7 times, averaging 18.9 minutes per game. He averaged 7.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block per game. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. He shot 47.7% from the field, 36.8% from the three-point range, and 50% from the free throw line.

Ethan showed quite good personal abilities last season. He has good scoring ability on the offensive end. His offensive ability with the ball is quite good. His breakthrough ability and finishing ability are worthy of recognition. The stability of his outside shooting has also been improved. Not only that, Ethan is a top outside defender on the defensive end. He has super personal defensive ability, and his contribution on the defensive end is also obvious to all. There is no doubt that Ethan's series of outstanding performances also made a huge contribution to the team's excellent record last season. Ethan's abilities in all aspects are obvious to all. Apart from attendance and injury risks, Ethan's performance in other aspects can be said to be impeccable. I don’t know how the situation will develop in the new season. Can Ethan show stronger competitiveness in the new season without entering ESPN’s top 100 players, proving that ESPN seriously underestimated his ability?
