26 million in 2 years! Rockets new Tucker s injury recovery is not as expected, Ethan improves his two skills and wants to get to the top

The Rockets in Harden's era once launched an attack on the championship, and Tucker played an important role in the team at that time. Tucker is a forward but can top the center. He is not only a defensive player, but also a well-known bottom corner three-pointer pitcher in the league. Durant publicly praised Tucker's defense. Now the Rockets are starting to compete for the championship again, Durant is aerialized in Houston, and his new teammate Finney Smith is reminiscent of Tucker.

Amen's rookie bonus is two years, while Finney Smith's contract is $26 million for two years, and the contract is insured for the next two years.

Tuck is 1.96 with a wingspan of 2.13, and Finney Smith is 2.01 with a wingspan of 2.13. They are both defensive players and are responsible for defending the opponent's core. Finney Smith joked on Media Day that he might compete with Amen to defend the opponent's main player.

Finney Smith can also play a guest center. His three-point shooting percentages in the two corners of the regular season last season were 43.5% and 41.4% respectively. In an interview, he said that he is very good at communicating on the defensive end and he will keep talking on the court.

Tuck is a powerful player that Rockets general manager Stone admires very much, but he is already old. Stone brought Finney Smith to the offseason this year and he was very satisfied with the signing.

Van Jordan may have to be on standby for a year, while the Rockets' New Tucker's injury recovery was not as expected, and there is no specific return schedule. Previously, Shams, a well-known reporter, revealed that Finney Smith is working hard to recover from surgery on his left ankle and is expected to recover at the beginning of training camp to prepare for the new season.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and Finney-Smith's recovery is not ideal. Famous reporter Vincenster revealed that Finney Smith can only run at present and has not obtained medical permission to participate in basketball activities. He is likely to miss the early regular season games.

Fortunately, the Rockets have a wealthy forward line, Finney Smith cannot play, Uduka has two cards, Smith Jr. and Ethan.

Some Rockets fans believe that Ethan is stronger than Smith Jr., who ranks 74th in the top 100 ESPN players. Ethan was dissatisfied with his absence on this list, and he bluntly stated on Media Day that he was underestimated.

Last season, Smith played 57 regular season games, averaging 12.2 points and 7 rebounds per game, and shooting percentage of 43.8%. Ethan also played 57 regular season games, averaging 12 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and shooting percentage of 48.7%. Smith Jr. hits higher than Ethan in the playoffs, and the latter performs in moderation.

Smith Jr. has extra points in size and potential, compared with Ethan's injury risks and ball quotients.

Ethan improved two skills during the offseason and wanted to get on the stage. In an interview, Ethan revealed that he had made significant improvements in ball possession and shooting, and he wanted to play a bigger role. Ethan refused to answer the question of renewal with the Rockets.

Ethan hinted that he deserved the starting position after playing the rookie season. He played 82 games at the time, which left a deep impression on Rockets fans. However, Ethan only played 22 games in his second season, and did not show any obvious improvement last season. The Rockets management renewed Smith Jr. in advance and lowered Ethan's price, but the latter's contract renewal has not been finalized.

Houston reporter Ben Dubos believes that Ethan's contract renewal is not that easy to deal with, and he will compete with Smith Jr. and Finney Smith in the new season.
