It is said that the Rockets center is still hard to compete with Jokic during offseason

A series of operations and signings by Houston management this summer seem perfect, especially in the interior and front line, which makes the team's starting center both excited and stressed. Last season, Shin Kyung was the absolute core offensive player in the team from the second half to the playoffs. With the arrival of Durant, coupled with Adams' contract renewal and Capela's joining, if Shin Kyung cannot make up for his shortcomings, then other teammates may have more playing time taken away in the new season. After all, the Rockets are now overcrowded in the frontcourt. During the offseason, Shin Kyung was not idle, but actively trained his own outside three-pointer, and it is reported that he also achieved good results. Last season, head coach Uduka used the "three highs" lineup as a major advantage tactic for the Rockets on the court, among which Shin Kyung often played with Adams as the No. 4 position on the court. Although he has good ball-holding ability on the outside and top pot, long shots from the outside are not ideal. Now that the team has two defensive frame-type centers, Shin Kyung will definitely appear more in the power forward position in the new season. Once the shooting is poor, Smith Jr., Finney Smith, Ethan, and Jeff Green can all replace him at any time.

Previously, Shin Kyung was once seen as having hope to become the next Jokic, but in fact there is still a certain gap between the two. In addition to the difference in height and flexibility in static talent, Jokic is stronger than Shin Kyung in terms of offensive organization, outside shooting and inside offense stability. His soft touch is a flaw that Shin Kyung is currently difficult to catch up in the short term.

Shin Kyung is difficult to maintain a soft shooting feel like Jokic on the court to ensure his shooting percentage. His mid-range and inside offense are often magical and ghost-like, which makes fans frightened.

Shen Kyung's best template is actually the King's inside core Sabonis. Xiao Sa can be said to have perfectly inherited his father's mantle. He is 2.11 meters tall and has a very solid offensive skill. His hooks at the basket and mid- and long-distance shooting from the outside are very stable. He is as strong as Thani's eyebrows and were beaten by Sabonis on the defensive end.

Sabonis averaged averaging at the peak of his game. He is an All-Star Center. The difference between him and Jokic lies in his ability to lead a single-core team and his offensive organization. Objectively speaking, Shen Jing has not yet achieved Sabonis' offensive stability, and his defense can only be considered as a barely average. Sabonis may be the ceiling of Shin Kyung's career efforts.
