As the Houston Rockets, ranked second in the Western Conference last season, they had three star players last season: Shin Kyung, Jaylen Green and Amen Thompson. Although Van Vreet was also a former Eastern Conference All-Star, in the regular season last season, Van Vreet averaged 14 points per game and shot less than 40% from the field. In the playoffs, although Van Vreet played an All-Star performance, it is obvious that the three best players of the Rockets are Shin Kyung, Amen and Jaylen Green.
Now the Rockets have finally completed their long-awaited super deal. After the big deal involving the 7 teams was completed, the Rockets exchanged Dillon, Jaylen Green, draft picks, etc. for Durant. The 36-year-old veteran is still the top scorer and superstar in the league, and has strong popularity and appeal. The Rockets have finally formed the most complete lineup. Next season, the Rockets' Big Three are upgraded from Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung and Amen to Durant, Amen and Shin Kyung. It can be said that the Rockets are absolutely nothing wrong with using 23-year-old newcomer guard Jaylen Green to exchange for Durant's superstar.
So how strong is the Rockets' brand new trio? NBA expert Greg Swarts also ranked the Houston Rockets Big Three as the fourth best trio of the 30 NBA teams next season. This expert believes that when Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson were on the court last season, the Rockets already had strong competitiveness and could win 11.1 points per game. Swartz also wrote that Durant's deal also made the Rockets stronger. Durant replaced young Jaylen Green to join the young, successful and highly defensive Rockets, which is very suitable for Durant, who was selected into the All-Star 15 times.
This expert believes that the strongest trio next season is Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Homegren of the Thunder, Jokic, Gordon and Murray of the Denver Nuggets, Garland, Mitchell and Mobley of the Cavaliers, and Durant, Amen and Shin Kyung ranked fourth.
It can be said that it can rank fourth in this league. As the fourth strongest Big Three, it is obvious that the overall strength of the Rockets has improved significantly compared to last season. Jaylen Green has poor scoring efficiency and his shooting percentage is not stable enough. Durant is the best shooter in the league, especially his three-point shooting and mid-range shooting are basically unsolvable. Coupled with his tall figure and comprehensive skills, Duran is particularly 36 years old, but he can still make unparalleled contributions to the Rockets.
In addition, with Shin Kyung, who has strong scoring skills and excellent passing skills in the interior, and Amen Thompson, who has no solution to defense, the Rockets' Big Three will be in one offense and defense next season, and they will not suffer any losses on the defensive end. Therefore, the Rockets' Big Three is much stronger than the Big Three last season, and it all comes from Durant's deal. By exchanging Jaylen Green for superstar Durant, the Rockets reorganized their Big Three.
And the new trio has the strength to compete for the championship, it depends on how they perform next season. If the Rockets' Big Three can stay healthy, they will be the biggest competitor of the defending champion Thunder last season.
