Officially confirmed! The Rockets Summer United 15-man lineup is released, with a 20-year-old shooter leading the way, plus 5 old acquaintances

On July 8, the Houston Rockets finally announced their summer league roster today. According to statistics, a total of 15 players from the Rockets participated in this summer league. It is worth noting that the first game of the Rockets this summer league will be held on July 12, which is 10 a.m. 4 days later. The Rockets' opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers. I just sent Powell away, in exchange for Collins' Clippers, and my strength will also improve rapidly next season. Not only did they leave superstars like James Harden, but Leonard also has been in very good shape recently, as can be seen from the playoffs. Therefore, the Clippers, which have obtained star center Lopez, will grow rapidly next season.

Although these star players will not play for the Clippers in the summer league, the overall strength of the Clippers should not be underestimated. For the Rockets, their 15-man roster has been released, and the brightest star is naturally the Rockets 20-year-old shooter Shepard. We know that Shepard opened high and closed low last season with the Rockets. Although he was the youngest player among the Rockets, Uduka did give him a chance at the beginning, but Shepard was not trusted in the middle of the season and was delegated to the Development League for a week. After returning, he did not have much chance to enter the rotation.

So, in several games, Shepard entered the starter and averaged 20 points and 5 assists per game. However, in the playoffs, Shepard did not have many opportunities to perform. Uduka trusted more in the backcourt composed of Jaylen Green and Van Vreet, so the summer league is Shepard's best chance to prove himself again. After all, he has nearly unlimited firepower in the summer league lineup, and no one on the team is more famous than him, nor is he more talented than him. Shepard was the Tanhua show last season, but he did not realize his talent. The rosters of the Rockets' summer league are as follows: Adonis Arms, Moses Brown, Kennedy Chandler, Enfalley Dante, Kevin Harris, Chris Ledrum, Jordan Longgino, Cameron Matthews, Jaden Nunn, Gret Ossobo, Jermain Samuels Jr., Reed Shepard, Nate Williams, Uroche Trifunovic, and Milick Wilson.

Among them, in addition to Shepard, there are five familiar old acquaintances, namely center Enfalley Dante, who now plays for the Rockets, who holds a two-way contract; and Rockets' shooting guard Nate Williams, who holds an unguaranteed contract. Although there are reports that the Rockets may cut him, Williams will still play in the summer league for the Rockets. After sending Whitmore away, Williams may stay in the team, after all, the Rockets lack manpower in the backcourt.

There is also another Rockets player, Kevin Harris, who signed with the Rockets a few days ago. Cam Matthews signed a training camp contract with the Rockets not long ago and is also a member of the Rockets. In addition, Samuels also played for the Rockets two years ago, but he has played in the Development League for a long time. As a power forward, he can defend and attack, but his ability is relatively average. I don’t know if Samuels can regain trust with this summer league opportunity and sign another contract with the Rockets.

The above is the Rockets' summer league lineup. We look forward to the Rockets defeating the Clippers in 4 days and have a good start.
