The G League MVP is here!

Rockets sign a heavy contract! The G League MVP teamed up with 1.85 meters of small cannon, and the firepower was fully launched in the new season!

On the NBA stage full of variables and surprises, the Houston Rockets recently dropped two bombs and completed two key signings in a row. The most eye-catching one is signing the G League MVP - JD-Davidson! This operation instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans and made the entire league focus on Houston again.

JD-Davidson, this super small guard with a height of 1.85 meters, has not yet shined completely in the NBA arena, but he has long been famous in the G League. At the age of 22, he has amazing scoring and organizational skills, and is simply a scoring machine. Last season in the G League, he was like a whirlwind, averaging 25.6 points, 7.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of nearly 48%. Such data made him win the MVP trophy of the 2024-25 G League without any suspense and become a superstar in the Development League.

In the playoffs, Davidson was even more fire-fired. He showed his strength to the fullest, averaging 34.7 points, 13.3 assists, plus 3.3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. Such comprehensive and explosive data directly made the opponent frightened. Although he is just a fledgling rookie in the NBA field, he averaged only 5.8 minutes of playing time per game and scored 2.1 points. But this could not hide the potential that was ready to go. He was like a sharp blade hidden in the sheath, waiting to be unsheathed on the Rockets stage and shine with dazzling light.

In addition to Davidson, another player signed by the Rockets should not be underestimated, he is Isaiah Crawford. The 23-year-old forward player played for the Kings and his subordinate team Stockton Kings last season. In the NBA regular season, although he has limited opportunities to play, playing only 15 games and averaged 0.9 points per game, he is one of the important contributors to the team's championship in the Development League. He averaged 13.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 47.1%. He has excellent 3D potential. His arrival will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the Rockets' forward line and provide more stable external fire support.

For the Rockets, these two signings are undoubtedly a very strategic operation. On the one hand, they signed these two potential new stars with an extremely affordable two-way contract, which greatly enriched the team's lineup depth without taking up too much salary space. On the other hand, Davidson's breakthrough and organizational ability just made up for the shortcomings of the Rockets' back line in the second ball holding point. When Van Vleet needs to rest or suffer from injuries, Davidson is fully capable of standing up and shouldering the banner of the team's backcourt organization and offense. The arrival of Crawford has added a reliable shooter to the Rockets' forward line. He can open up space from the outside, create more offensive opportunities for core players such as Durant and Shin Kyung, and further enrich the team's tactical system.

The Rockets are now strong. During the offseason, they first got superstar Durant through heavy trades, and signed powerful players such as Capela and Finney Smith. Now, with the joining of two potential new stars, Davidson and Crawford, the team already has a luxurious 14+3 lineup. In the new season, they only have one goal, that is, to launch a strong impact on the championship! Led by Durant, the superstar, the Rockets' new lineup is full of endless possibilities.

It can be foreseen that in the new season's NBA arena, the Houston Rockets will surely become a powerful team that all opponents dare not underestimate. JD Davidson and Isaiah Crawford, two new players, will also work hard to prove themselves on the Rockets' stage. They are eager to seize every opportunity to play and write their own brilliant chapters with their strength. The Rockets fans can finally look forward to the team's wonderful performance in the new season with anticipation. One exciting game will begin, let's wait and see together!
