The pros and cons are very distinct! Will the Rockets leave this big center behind after the Summer United?

5:58am, 21 July 2025【Basketball】

In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Houston Rockets narrowly defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-101 after a hard battle. After this game, the Rockets won their first victory in the summer league, and their record in the summer league improved to 4 wins and 1 loss; while the Timberwolves suffered their first defeat in the summer league, with a final record of 1 wins and 4 losses.

In this game, the Rockets' substitute center Moses Brown performed quite well. Brown played 8 minutes and 45 seconds in the game, made 3 of 4 shots and 2 of 4 free throws, scored 8 points and 4 rebounds, and had 2 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of +3. Brown's playing time is very limited, but he also seized the opportunity to play some role on the offensive end. He can also play a certain role in the opponent's inside line. He seems to be able to play some role in the inside line defense on the defensive end. However, Brown does seem rough in terms of technology, and it is indeed difficult for him to assume more responsibilities and play a greater role in this situation. Although he can play his own characteristics, his shortcomings are also obvious and are easily exploited by his opponents. During the summer league, Brown played 5 games for the Rockets, averaging 6.4 minutes per game, with averaging 4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.2 assists and 0.4 steals, 0.6 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 60% and a free throw percentage of 61.5%. Brown has very limited playing time in these games, and none of his playing time has exceeded 10 minutes. However, in this case, he can still play some role. His scoring ability is quite good, his offensive efficiency at the basket is worthy of recognition, and his height advantage is also very obvious. Brown also performed quite well in the competition for rebounds in front and back courts, and he was able to assume this responsibility on the court.

Brown is also a player who has been in the NBA and NBA Development League for many years. His height is 218cm. He has a certain scoring ability. He can also play a certain role in rebound protection and inside defense. However, the problem is that his performance in other aspects is very average, his movement speed is relatively slow, and his technology is relatively rough. Brown has been in the NBA and NBA Development League for many years, but his performance has not improved significantly, which also shows that he has no potential to explore. Brown can indeed play some role, but he can only play such a role. I wonder if the Rockets will consider signing him?
