US media shows the data of three new players from the Rockets: both score + three-pointers and rebounds, Stone reads right

Basketball

The Rockets' current lineup has changed dramatically compared to last season. Although their outside lineup is missing from Dillon Brooks and Jaylen Green, they add superstars like Durant. In addition, Lakers' former player Finney Smith also signed a long contract with the Rockets on a four-year contract, and the Rockets used the signing first and then exchange for the old player Capela, making their inside defense more outstanding. So, next season, all three new Rockets players are expected to be able to enter the main rotation.

Durant is an unstoppable starting striker; Finney Smith may replace Dillon Brooks as a substitute small forward. Of course, if Uduka is willing, he can completely get Finney Smith into the starting lineup and let Durant be the power forward; in addition, Capela's appearance order should be after Shinkyung and Adams. Although he seems to be in a downturn, the 31-year-old Capela actually still has good ability to protect the basket and eat cakes at the basket - as long as the Rockets have excellent passers who can pass a comfortable ball to Capela, then the famous "Biu King" in the league can still score at the basket. The three players are the key to the Rockets' strengthening this summer. Although the Rockets also signed such as Matthews and renewed the contract with three veterans in the team, these are not worth mentioning. Durant, Finney Smith and Capela are the strongest new players of the Rockets. What will the Rockets get from three new players next season? Data media listed the personal data performance of the Rockets' three players last season: Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block per game, and his three shooting percentages reached 53%, 43% and 84% respectively.

It can be said that Durant provides the Rockets with strong scoring ability and hard-solving ability that they did not have before, and has extremely high shooting percentage (especially the outside three-point shooting percentage). Durant is an absolute top scorer. Although he is about to be 37 years old, his competitive state is still at the top level in the league. Although Finney Smith's ranking and reputation are not as great as Durant, he is a powerful 3D wing. Last season, he averaged 8.7 points per game and was able to hit 2 three-pointers per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 41.1%. Finney Smith can provide the Rockets with high-quality outside defense, and he can even defend the opponent's power forwards and centers. The three-point shooting percentage makes the Rockets add a defensive forward and have another three-point shooting skill - even Finney Smith's three-point shooting percentage is higher than Dillon Brooks, the main striker of the Rockets' forward last season. It can be said that the Rockets' signing of Finney Smith really beats two birds with one stone, which not only strengthens the outside defense, but also improves the three-point shooting percentage. Although Capela, the third new player, can only contribute 8.9 points per game, averaged 8.5 rebounds and 1 block per game. Although Capela fell out of the Hawks' starting lineup last season, his data is still beautiful, and the average 9+8+1 per game is enough to make the Rockets' inside line worry-free. Capela is an excellent rebounder and blocker after all.

In this way, Durant enhanced the Rockets' offensive ability, scoring ability and shooting ability; Finney Smith improved the defense and three-point ability; Capela improved the inside basket protection, rebounding and blocking ability. So, the Rockets' three signings and deals are really great, and Manager Stone reads the wrong person.
