It s decided! Xia Lian scored 48 points in 3 games, and the Rockets new player jersey number is released! Is there any chance to enter the rotation?

The Houston Rockets, with young players gathering in this offseason, are usually veterans, such as the 37-year-old superstar Durant who exchanged Dillon, Jaylen Green and draft picks. There is also the Rockets' old center Capela who was signed first and then exchanged from the Hawks, who is already a 31-year-old veteran; and Finney Smith, who signed for 4 years and 53 million yuan, is already 32 years old. So for the Rockets, introducing veterans is indeed a pretty good choice.

But the Rockets have lost a lot of young players this summer. In addition to Dillon and Jaylen Green, the Rockets have also traded the newcomer Whitmore, and players under the age of 30, such as Nate Williams, McVeigh, and Landale, have also been laid off. For the Rockets, they also need to introduce some young players. The Rockets signed defensive forward Cameron Matthews with a training camp contract, and signed the Rockets forward guard swingman who performed quite well in the summer league - 28-year-old Kevin Harris.

This Harris has played in the NBA for many years, and has been in many teams, and is even the MVP of the new development league game. Last season, he averaged 19 points per game in the Development League and was an excellent scorer and outside swinger. In the five games of the Rockets in the Summer League, Harris played 4 times for the Rockets, and in the last three appearances, Harris has always performed well, scoring in double digits, scoring a total of 48 points for the Rockets. Although the Rockets have achieved a bad record of 1 win and 4 losses in five summer league games, Harris' performance is indescribable. He can shoot three-pointers from the outside and have the ability to break through the basket. Harris' performance is not bad in terms of defensive end and rebounding.

The Rockets have now announced that they have given Harris a two-way contract, and Harris's jersey number has been officially released. According to reports, Harris chose No. 00 as his jersey number for the Rockets. You should know that among the Rockets, this jersey number is rarely used. Although he is just a 28-year-old marginal defender, Kevin Harris has certain abilities, can attack and defend, and is willing to do dirty and tiring work. Only one two-way contract is obtained in the Rockets, and the Rockets are free to advance and retreat: if Harris performs well, there is a chance to convert his contract into a formal contract next season; if he performs poorly, even if the Rockets directly cut him, they will not suffer much loss.

The Rockets are now in need of such an experienced guard like Harris and good at attacking and defense. After all, what the Rockets lack now is the guard. The Rockets will have three defenders who will really get a chance next season: main point guard Van Vreet, and two substitutes Aaron Holiday and Shepard. Since Shepard performed quite averagely in the summer league and Harris' performance was even better than Shepard, in the Rockets in the new season, Harris obviously has the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup.

Of course, Uduka will definitely give Shepard and Holiday more opportunities first. If they both perform poorly, then Harris will have a chance to occupy a rotation position in the back line. After all, he has a balanced personal ability and rich experience, which is far more suitable for the Rockets than Shepard.
