Efficiency countdown No. 1, turnovers No. 2!

After last season, Rockets fans must have a secret feeling of gratitude. The Rockets chose Jayne Green over Jayne Suggest with the No. 2 pick in the first round last season. 2021 is also known as a mini draft year, and when Cunningham booked the top spot in the class early with his one-of-a-kind talent, it was a great appetite to see who the Rockets would pick up with the top pick. In fact, not only the fans and media are curious about this matter, even the Rockets themselves can not decide, in this draft, there are too many talent explosion of players.

The Rockets are indecisive between Jayne Green, Evan Mosley, and Galen Augustus. These three players have distinct characteristics and can represent the Rockets' different attitudes towards the top pick in their hands. Jayne Green is a talented but inconsistent player at the time, with a high ceiling but difficult to develop, so the Rockets would be taking a risk if they chose him, but if he succeeds, the Rockets could use him to set the tone for the team's future development. Evan Mosley is a defensive-minded interior player, an attribute that predisposes Mosley to be the best piece of the puzzle rather than the cornerstone of the team, and despite the reduced risk, the Rockets still need to find a cornerstone to build the team around. In contrast to Green, Galen Suggest is exactly like a combination of the two players, he is known for his solid, but also has a very good organization and scoring ability, is the class of the rookie can not be rare excellent two-way guard.

In the outside world think the Rockets will conservatively pick up Sags, surprisingly, the Rockets finally choose to bet on Jayne Green, it is not difficult to see, the Rockets want to use this a top pick to take a future team cornerstone, and strive to complete its work in a single game. But like the analysis earlier, Jayne Green's play has really been up and down. Green played heroically in the summer league, but after facing serious NBA teams in the preseason, Green became quite depressed and completely lost himself when the regular season started. Although Green's poor play has left fans a little disappointed, but at the same time a little thankful, because the Magic team in the Sagas performance is worse than Green.

In fact, after a slump at the beginning of the season, Jayne Green, who is gradually adapting to the intensity of the game, has started to show his talent. After the All-Star break, Green is averaging 22.1 points per game on nearly 48% shooting from the field and nearly 39% from 3-point range! This kind of performance can be fully described as a top league presence, and in this season's preseason, Green's ability to play against and shoot the ball has increased significantly. We have reason to believe that Green has the ability to become the league's top scorer in the future, and may be a super scorer in the post-Kobe era, a team leader, plus playing without the ball, heavy defensive Smith, Ethan, if the Rockets next year's draft market and get a top interior, the salary structure is well deployed, the Rockets dynasty is not a dream.

And let's look at the first time almost selected by the Rockets Sagas, not only in the game in the performance of bad, and not the slightest signs of rebound. In college, Sags can be called a top two-way guard, he can freely switch between scoring and organizing offense, and is very efficient. However, after entering the NBA, Sags has lost his old style, not only is he inefficient in offense, but he is also in a mess in organizing the offense. Last season, Sags on offense, averaging nearly 12 shots, only in exchange for 11.8 points, shooting only 36.1%, three-point shooting rate is miserable only 21.4%, in the joint use rate of more than 25% of the players, he is less than 46% of the real shooting rate, ranked in the bottom 1.

What about the organization when the offense is ineffective? Sags contributes 4.4 assists per game, but his turnovers come to 2.98, and his turnover rate ranks 2nd among players with usage rates over 25%. The first is the injured Harden, but Harden's assist rate is 40%, and his assists per game are twice as high as Sags'. It's safe to say that of the top five rookies in the 21st class, only Sags isn't playing as well as he should. A large part of Sags' poor performance is due to his talent limitations. With a height of only 1'93" and mediocre running and jumping ability, Suggest barely qualifies for the #1 spot, but when it comes to the #2 spot, his strengths are gone and he struggles with the top two-way guards.

So, do people think Suggest still has time to cash in on his talent?
