Another strong aid, Washington forward helps the Rockets Summer United, and has received a salary of 2 million before entering the league

In another 2 or 3 days, the NBA 2025 Summer League will be opened. For this stage for newcomers, there will undoubtedly be many new faces entering people's vision. They need to prove themselves in the summer league and then get an opportunity to officially launch an attack on the NBA. Gret Osobor, who was signed by the Rockets today, is obviously such a player.

If Osobor was a few years younger, he might not choose to participate in the NBA Draft this year, because in the NCAA League that NIL has already started to implement, Osobor had received a salary of $2 million last season. Compared with the two-way contracts he may receive in less than one million dollars, the contracts in the college league are naturally more attractive.

However, not every player can get a high salary of $2 million like Osobor, which is already the highest salary among NCAA players. After the league allowed each team to have a salary of $22.5 million last year, the NCAA seems to have become the dream place for many older rookies.

Especially players like Osobor not only have an advantage in their figure, but also have top-notch combat power. Therefore, during the offseason of the college league last year, Osobor became one of the targets pursued by various teams. At that time, he was like Jimmy Butler in the NBA suddenly flowed into the free agent market.

In the end, the University of Washington successfully recruited Osobor with a $2 million contract, but he did not play the expected performance. With a shooting percentage of 47%, he scored 14.8 points, 8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and a three-point shooting percentage of only 24%, which made University of Washington fans begin to doubt whether the plan to recruit the forward player was correct.

You should know that when he won the regular season championship for Utah State for the division, he averaged 17.7 points, 9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. As a 2.03-meter forward, Osobor's playing style is somewhat more inward-leading. He always likes to use his physical advantages to force his opponents in the inside after breaking through or cutting.

However, as long as he can achieve good improvements outside the three-point line, Osobor has a very good chance of becoming the next Dorte-style player. The next summer league will be a small touchstone for him. If nothing unexpected happens, the main players of the Rockets in the Summer League will be Shepard, Roddy, Matthews, Obersol and Dante.

If Osobor wants to perform well, he needs to pay attention to the following two aspects. The first is the competition with his teammate Cameron Matthews. The Rockets' core lineup this summer league has only added two players, Matthews and Osobor. As a big five player, Matthews is at the top level of the NCAA on the defensive end. Even in the NBA, he has the strength to become a top gate. However, he is too embarrassing on the offensive end, so he lost the draft.

Compared to Matthews, Osobor not only needs to show his tough defensive ability on the defensive end, but also shows his own advantages on the offensive end. After all, Matthews is just a team player who averages about 7 points per game. As the team's offensive and defensive core, Esobor needs to show more content.

is also a cooperation with Shepard. This summer's league, Shepard is undoubtedly one of the players that the Rockets and even the entire league pays attention to. His outstanding performance in the league last year made him directly selected for the first team of the best team. A data averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game is a basic requirement for Shepard.

Shepard's style of play happens to be very complementary to Osobor. The pick-and-roll between the two may be able to produce great power. Osobor can not only cut the score at a blank, but also shoot outside. He can even become the role of the ball holder. After breaking through and attracting defense, the ball is returned to Shepard. No matter what, as long as Shepard, the "Rocket Prince", is happy, the chance of Osobor getting a two-way contract may also increase. Do you think Osobor can get a Rockets contract this summer?
