Average 25 points and 7 assists per game! Uduka named the new 23-year-old point guard, congratulations to the Rockets on finding a bargain

Among the NBA players, there are many unknown players who have the opportunity to play very beautiful data or performance. As long as they are given enough opportunities, they can repay the team with more surprises. In fact, the Rockets had many players who were found in the Development League back then, such as the Rockets' main striker Danuel House; Capela and Beverly, the two absolute main players, also had experience in the Development League, and even the Thunder's main center Haltenstein, had played for the Development League Vipers for a long time.

Now it is not surprising if the Rockets continue to search for new players in the Development League to enhance their roster strength. There were not many opportunities for several Development League players in the Rockets last season because there were too many people who could play last season. The three Development League two-way contract players Dante, McVeigh and David Roddy did not have many opportunities.

is completely different now. The Rockets' Finney Smith may miss some early season games due to injury; main point guard Van Vreett even suffered a torn cruciate ligament, resulting in season reimbursement. The Rockets are now using people, especially for those easy-to-use point guards, Uduka will definitely give them more opportunities.

Uduka has said before that she plans to let Shepard and Amen Thompson play the point guard position in the preseason, because only the two of them can replace Van Vreet and become the Rockets' offensive organizers on the outside. But now, Uduka seems to have discovered a new world again - 23-year-old young point guard JD Davidson was also mentioned by Uduka.

After the previous training, Uduka talked about the two-way contract player and point guard Davidson, who said he could go and see Davidson's past performance. When Uduka was the head coach of the Celtics, he briefly brought him, so he knew Davidson very well. Davidson now takes this opportunity well and makes the most of the extra training time here. Whether it’s scoring or making the right tactical judgment, Davidson’s decisions are very wise. Moreover, Davidson is tall and strong, able to break through the inside line, and has quite good athletic ability. Cutting without the ball is also very threatening.

In fact, data can tell everything. Although Davidson played for a long time in the Celtics' development league, the Maine Red Claws, which is a top star in the Development League. Last season in the Development League regular season, Davidson averaged 25.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, plus 1.5 steals, and he also became the MVP of the Development League. Being able to score and be more willing to pass the ball is Davidson's characteristic. The Rockets need a player who can score, shoot, and organize attacks to replace Van Vritte.

Of course, with Davidson's strength and fame, he will definitely not be able to compete with two point guards, Amen Thompson and Shepard. But in the long 82 regular season games, the Rockets could not have used only a few point guards. What's more, Shepard lacks experience, Amen Thompson has to play in the forward position more often, and Aaron Holiday has poor passing ability. At this time, Davidson could completely become Van Vreet's main substitute and become the Rockets' point guard surprise.

And the Rockets signed JD Davidson without spending much money - the Rockets only signed a two-way contract with him, and this Davidson would not even occupy the Rockets' salary space. Even if Davidson performs poorly, the Rockets will cut him, and there will be no losses. According to NBA regulations, the salary of a two-way contract player is only about 100,000 US dollars a year. So, the Rockets have found such an excellent new point guard with such a cheap salary. I really should congratulate the Rockets.
