As a golden supporting role, Dillon was once swept out by the Grizzlies. Why did he succeed in the Rockets?

From being swept out by the Grizzlies to signing a contract with a high salary in the Rockets, what value does Dillon Brooks have to let the Rockets introduce Dillon Brooks at the time at that time?

Dillon went from being a villain in the NBA to the Rockets' very fierce performance that attracted fans. Dillon was reborn in the Rockets. Dillon's performance won respect, making Dillon the former questioning of signing Dillon the target of a premium contract and became supportive of the original signing.

This season, Dillon Brooks played 75 games for the Rockets, averaging 14 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.2 blocks, 1 turnover, 3.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 42.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.1%.

Playoffs, Dillon averaged 12.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.3 blocks, 1.3 turnovers, 3.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 83.3%.

This season, Dillon is the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the Rockets' regular season rotation lineup. Many times, Dillon acts as a 3D player in the Rockets, but Dillon is not simply a 3D player. He often has a certain ability to misplace low post backs and certain ability to turn over jump shots. Other players may not need Dillon to take the ball to attack, but Dillon's half-baked ball to attack is very important for the Rockets.

For this reason, Uduka often designed that Dillon could hit the opponent's players with a low post by misaligning the position, and Dillon also had the authority to shoot at a certain mid-range distance. During the Grizzlies, Dillon overstepped his power was very serious. Dillon basically did not overstep his power in the Rockets. He acted as a fixed-point shooter for most of the time. Dillon had the authority to play the opponent's players with a low post for a small part.

Dillon's role is more of defense. In Uduka's defensive system, Dillon is the most important link. The Rockets have two defensive players. Dillon is often the player with the most defensive elasticity. Amen Thompson often defends star players in the Rockets at the 1-3 position, so Dillon is often a star player in the 3-5 position in the Rockets.

In the original matchup of Uduka, Dillon played against the super giant inside lines such as Wenbanyama, Chett, Gobert, Embiid, and Davis. It not only prevents space-type inside lines, allowing Shen Jing to face the opponent's space points, reducing Shen Jing's defensive pressure. Dillon played against the opponent's super-giant No. 5, and could defend from the outside to the inside, and from high-position to the position. Therefore, Uduka was willing to let Dillon face the most difficult player to reduce the burden on Shen Jing, and from the side, it could make Shen Jing better off on the offensive end, and also reduce the resistance and pressure of defensive defense, avoiding Shen Jing being beaten by the opponent's star inside line. Dillon made great contributions.

Dillon is also the best player in the team's defense awareness and team defense. Dillon is the most active player in the team's defense and assisting defense. He is the best player in the team's defense communication and the strongest defensive execution. Therefore, the Rockets have many more missed defenses, misd defenses, and even loopholes in the inside. Dillon came to wipe his butt, so Dillon lost a lot of fouls.

Dillon is also the player with the strongest spiritual attributes of the Rockets. When the Rockets' young players were bullied by players from other teams, Dillon dared to stand up for his teammates and did not hesitate to fight with the opponent. Therefore, Dillon's technical foul has always been at the forefront of the league and was suspended for one game at the end of the season.

Dillon's shortcomings and shortcomings are also very obvious. As a top 3D player of the Rockets, Dillon's three-point stability is not good enough, but it is considered good in the team. Dillon's defensive foul control is not done well, and foul explosions often occur, which leads to the team often need Dillon when he encounters a foul crisis and is unable to play.

Especially during the playoffs, Dillon often encountered foul crisis, resulting in not much playing time, Dillon did not have much ball rights, and his offensive efficiency fell to a certain extent compared to the regular season, and his overall impact on the Rockets was not that great.

Judging from Dillon's overall performance this season, his performance in most of the time can meet expectations. The Rockets need high-quality 3D players like Dillon, who do not occupy the ball, but have certain main offensive ability, and the difficulty of defensive end matchmaking and diversity of matches, which makes it difficult for Dillon to be replaced by other players in the team. Although Amen's defense is good and the effect of the players in the fifth position has not reached Dillon's level, Dillon needs to control fouls. Poor control of fouls has always been a big problem in Dillon's career.

In the offseason, regardless of whether the Rockets traded with stars, there is definitely a possibility of trading Dillon, but it may not be very high. If the Rockets have a big deal, one of Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green will most likely be traded, and Jabbarry Smith Jr. may be traded. Generally, the reconstruction team will not want a puzzle veteran like Dillon.

Dillon has two years of contract with the Rockets, and the contract of more than 20 million yuan per year is not expensive compared to Dillon. Dillon is in the team and can also help Uduka develop a lineup of different logics and combinations. Dillon's temperament is in line with Uduka's taste, Dillon's playing style and positioning, and also in line with the Rockets' team building ideas and team building strategies. As a golden functional supporting role, the Rockets' demand and probability of trading Dillon are not high. Dillon should be a relatively safe player in the Rockets' offseason.
