Officially confirmed! The numbers of two new players from the Rockets were released, Capela missed No. 15, and the new shooter has a higher status

The Rockets won not only superstar Kevin Durant in the offseason, but also introduced veterans such as Adams and Van Vreet. The Rockets have also signed several players from the free agent market, including Okogi, Dorian Finney Smith, as well as Clint Capela, the former Rockets player known as the "Pie King", and several role players with two-way contracts, the Rockets' overall strength is now increasing compared to last season.

Although they have long become players of the Rockets, the jersey numbers of the two new players Capela and defender Okogi have not been released for a long time. It was previously reported that Rockets' Kevin Durant did not choose No. 35 as his number on the Rockets, and he chose No. 7 jersey as his new number on the Rockets. Durant wore the No. 7 jersey at the Brooklyn Nets back then. In addition to Durant, the eye-catching superstar, on August 21, the Rockets' reporters also officially announced the jersey numbers of Okogi and Capela in the Rockets' new season.

According to reports, defender Okogi chose the No. 20 jersey. In recent years, players wearing No. 20 jerseys in Rockets' history include Motieyunas, and the former Rockets' powerful center Bruno Fernando. Now Okogi has taken over the No. 20 jersey, and next season he will wear this jersey number to play for the Rockets.

As for Rockets veteran Capela, although he is 31 years old, he has not relied on his seniority. We knew before that when we were on the Rockets, Capela's jersey number was No. 15, but now the No. 15 jersey is worn on new shooter Shepard. The 21-year-old Shepard is an important rotation for the Rockets' backcourt next season. His playing time and tactical status will increase rapidly. Therefore, compared with Capela, Shepard is obviously more tactical and highly valued in the team. Although she performed poorly in the summer league last season and this season, Shepard is still one of the core of the Rockets' future.

Capela is completely different. He is already an outdated center, so Capela cannot let Shepard give up the No. 15 jersey. Although Capela was the absolute starter among the Rockets before, and the No. 15 jersey is also his possession, Capela now has wisely chosen the No. 30 jersey as his new jersey number for the Rockets.

So far, the two defensive players of the Rockets - Okogi, the outside gate and Gaota Capela, the inside team, have officially confirmed their jersey number for next season. Okogi is No. 20, while Capela chose No. 30. In fact, no matter what the jersey number is, as long as it can play a role in the game and help the Rockets win more games next season, then they are good players. The Rockets will not only play excellent defense next season, but also play team basketball like last season, and the Rockets will also need to open up the situation on the offensive end. With the announcement of the numbers of these players, the Rockets' new season is about to arrive, which is very exciting.
