It s decided! The Rockets didn t have one player selected for the best team, Shin Kyung was squeezed out by Harden, forcing Stone to trade

On May 24, Rockets center Shin Kyung regretfully missed the third team of the All-Squad. In other words, none of the Rockets players were selected in the best team of the regular season this season. It seems a bit unfair to the Rockets if there is no name in the three lineups. However, in fact, the Rockets lacks superstars and players with the ability to make a final decision are also concentrated. The best team mainly depends on a player's personal performance, and then it depends on the player's team's record. Although the players of the Rockets performed well, they did not have that kind of top superstar. The only All-Star player among the Rockets is Alperen Shinkyung.
However, Shin Kyung's data is not particularly eye-catching compared to other star players. Shen Jing averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the regular season; he averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the playoffs, and there was not much improvement. More importantly, Shin Kyung has poor defense in the regular season, and his scoring efficiency is not too high. In addition, the Rockets are a team mainly based on team basketball, so a player's single performance may not necessarily attract people's attention.
Although the Rockets' overall record is second in the West, there is no such player who is particularly promising among the Rockets. Basically, whoever feels better in the offensive end of the regular season will shoot more shots.
The Rockets are not short of defensive players now. They have a strong defensive system and their regular season defensive efficiency is basically the second-level in the league. Moreover, the Rockets' frontcourt rebounds and total rebounds are the leaders in the league, which also shows how good the Rockets' defense is.
The Rockets' offense is a huge shortcoming now, especially in the playoffs, Jaylen Green, the Rockets' regular season scoring champion and average 21 points per game, is completely silent. Once he is strictly guarded in the game, it is difficult to force his shots to score. Therefore, in the playoffs, Jaylen Green has three games in scoring but not double the score. If Van Vreet hadn't made multiple three-pointers like a magic weapon falling from the sky in the next few games and produced beautiful scoring data, the Rockets might have been eliminated by the Warriors in five games.
So, Shin Kyung failed to be selected into the three best teams of the regular season this season. It can only be said that on the one hand, everyone is more optimistic about James Harden, who is buzzer-beating into the third team of the best team. On the other hand, the Rockets have no core tactical system, which also makes Shin Kyung suffer a lot. This is also the main reason why Harden squeezed out Shin Kyung and became a member of the third lineup at the last moment.
This also reflects the Rockets' shortcomings and prompts them to introduce their own star players this summer. Whether it is the legendary Durant or Antetokounmpo, even if the Rockets introduce star players such as Morant, Zion Williamson, and even Trae Young, they can make their overall strength stronger next season. Therefore, the Rockets are not short of role players now, and the lineup is also short of the so-called second-in-chief and third-in-chief. They lack a star player who can lead them to win. Obviously, the three core members of Shin Kyung, Jaylen Green and Van Vreet are not doing well enough in this regard. What should Manager
What should Manager Stone do this summer? In fact, we can know from the candidates for the best lineup this time. None of the Rockets was selected for the Best Team, which even reminded Stone to chase a superstar this summer. No one in the West was selected for the best team, and this fact would force Stone to complete a large deal.
