The deterioration in ability is quite obvious! The Rockets forward has no role at all on the court?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Houston Rockets, playing at home, narrowly defeated the Dallas Mavericks 110-102. After this game, the Rockets, who had won 4 consecutive victories, improved their record to 4 wins and 2 losses, and their ranking rose to fifth in the Western Conference; while the Mavericks, who suffered two consecutive losses, saw their record drop to 2 wins and 5 losses, and their ranking fell to second from the bottom in the Western Conference.

In this game, the performance of the Rockets' substitute forward Jae 'Sean Tate was not ideal. Tate played for 8 minutes and 28 seconds, shooting 0-for-2 from the field and 0-for-2 from beyond the three-point line. He did not score a single point and only contributed 2 rebounds, with a plus-minus of -2. Tate did not show his scoring ability on the offensive end, and his touch outside the three-point line was not ideal. He did not have the effect he should have on the offensive end. Perhaps also because of his limited playing time, Tate's performance on the defensive end is also very average. It seems that he showed a positive defensive attitude, but in fact he did not have a very good effect on the defensive end. Tate really didn't show any characteristics or personal abilities in this game. He was also one of the Rockets' worst players overall and did not provide any help to the team's victory at all.

In the NBA regular season last season, Tate played a total of 52 times in 82 games, averaging 11.3 minutes per game. He averaged 3.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game. He also had 0.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 47.3% from the field, 34.8% from the three-point range, and 68.1% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Tate did not gain the team's trust. He did not even get a chance to play and had to sit on the bench. Since the start of this season, Tate has played a total of 3 times in the first 6 games, averaging 8 minutes per game, averaging 1.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.3 steals, 0.3 turnovers and 1.3 fouls, shooting 28.6% from the field and 0% from three-point range.

Tate fell out of the team's rotation last season, and his performance also declined significantly. Affected by injuries, he also missed all games during the preseason. Due to a certain degree of injuries in the Rockets and the rest of the players, Tate also got some performance opportunities in these games, but his performance was really disappointing. It seems that Tate has indeed declined in ability. As he grows older, his athletic ability is not as good as before. In the next game, the Rockets may also consider whether to keep Tate in the rotation.
