One-night news! The Rockets signed two consecutive games, pointing the defender and forward shooting upgrade

In this enthusiastic offseason, the NBA trading market is like a hot furnace, and all teams are preparing for the journey of the new season. The Houston Rockets have also become the focus recently, completing heavy signings overnight, signing two players, JD Davidson and Isaiah Crawford, with the goal directed at the improvement of defenders and forward shooting ability, adding a strong mark to the team's blueprint for the new season.

JD-Davidson, the player who was selected by the Celtics with the No. 53 draw in 2022, has previously played for the Celtics and its subordinate team Maine Celtics. In the Development League, Davidson is a star, and has won the G League MVP and demonstrated his strong strength. Although he has limited opportunities to play on the NBA regular season stage, playing 16 games for the Celtics last season, averaging 2.1 points per game in 5.8 minutes, his organizational talent and scoring ability in the low-level league undoubtedly allowed the Rockets to see his potential. His arrival will inject fresh blood into the Rockets' back line and enrich the team's tactical choices, especially in offensive organization and tandem, which is expected to bring new vitality.

Isaiah Crawford, a 23-year-old young forward player, signed a two-way contract with the Kings last year as a undraft in 2024. Last season with the Kings, he averaged 0.9 points in his limited 15 regular season games, averaging 3.1 minutes of playing time. Although the data is not impressive, Crawford's performance in the Stockton Kings in the Development League is remarkable. He has certain physical fitness and scoring skills, especially in front-line breakthroughs and outside-line projections, and has his own characteristics. The Rockets are interested in his potential on the offensive end. They hope that he can further polish his skills in the team, improve projection stability, and become a powerful supplement to the team's forward offense and outside firepower.

For the Rockets, they ranked second in the Western Conference last season, but failed unexpectedly in the first round of the playoffs, which made the team deeply realize that the lineup still needs to be improved. On the back line, although there are experienced veterans like Van Vleet, there is still room for improvement in depth and shooting ability; in terms of front line, although they have strong players such as Durant and Jabbarri Smith Jr., further strengthening the shooting ability can make the team's offensive system more three-dimensional. The signing of Davidson and Crawford this time is precisely the Rockets' precise reinforcement to the lineup's shortcomings.

In the new season, with the addition of these two new players, the Rockets' lineup depth and tactical flexibility will be greatly improved. Under the tactical system of coach Uduka, they are expected to quickly integrate and have a good chemical reaction with the team's core players. The team's back line will be more stable, and the shooting threat of the forward line will be further enhanced, adding powerful weight to the Rockets' goal to the championship in the new season. As soon as the news came out, Rockets fans were in a stir on social media and expressed their expectations for the team's new players. Everyone believes that with the careful operation of the management, the Rockets will gallop on the arena with a new posture in the new season and make every effort toward the O'Brien Cup. In the NBA arena in the new season, the Rockets have become strong contenders for the championship. Let us look forward to their wonderful performance on the field together.
