VanVleet s vacancy, don t always think about Amen Thompson, Shin Kyung may evolve into the genuine Jokic

Rockets point guard Van Vleet posted a picture, and his personal knee surgery has been successfully completed and is expected to be reimbursed for the new season.

The Rockets management has been struggling with who will take the starting point guard’s absence: Is it Shepard or Amen Thompson?

Considering that Shepard is only a sophomore, has unstable performance in the summer league, and has weak defensive ability, the Rockets prefer to let Amen Thompson, who has top defensive ability, serve as point guard.

In fact, the Rockets ignored the most suitable candidate to play point guard, that is center Shin Kyung.

In this summer's European Championship, Shin Kyung led Turkey to defeat Greece led by Antetokounmpo and Serbia led by Jokic, helping the team to win the runner-up, and he was also selected for the best team of the season.

In the nine games they played, the nerve averaged 21.6 points, 10.9 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game. Among them, in the game against Poland, he scored 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming the youngest player to win a triple-double in the European Championship.

Shin Kyung has been called Jokic Jr. The big man has a delicate passing technique like a point guard.

So, Amen Thompson can connect the role of point guard. He can pass the ball through halftime and hand it over to Shin Kyung at the top of the arc, and he will organize the half-court offense, similar to Jokic.
