You know what, after seeing one game box score...I totally reverse my opinion. The Rockets suck!!!!
Dont you care about VORP? Go look at his VORP. Go look at what it is every season.
I mean, it should. The Rockets had a little streak towards the end against teams who wanted to lose. If Utah was trying to win, even with the trades they made, they would have finished above Houston.
They dont even have to do that. If Hardy/DA just played the best 9-10 guys they had the appropriate minutes, Utah would smoke Houston.
There's just this strange thing on this board where some posters just think Houston's young talent is guarnateed to make these big leaps but Keyonte/Walker/Hendricks are destined to be bad/mediocre again.
VORP is just one thing to consider. Unlike you, I actually what these numbers mean and how they are calculated. I choose to take a more holistic view rather than looking a single number and using it like gospel. Do you consider metrics that also include +/- statistics? I do, and this is especially the case for a player like DIllon Brooks who does not necessarily see his impact show up in the box score.
But if it's VORP or nothing, Sengun and FVV are wayyyy better than the Jazz have. So pick a struggle. You can choose to ignore everything else in Brooks' favor and hyper fixate on VORP, but what does that mean for Sengun and FVV vs Lauri and Sexton?
I just don't get the hand-wringing over Houston of all teams. The Jazz were a few games ahead of them at the trade deadline, and that was despite Lauri missing a ton of games in the first couple months of the season. From there, the Jazz went the all-out tanking route, and the Rockets went the go all out against the tanking teams.
Yeah the latter part is so weird. Like how can you not realize that you are watching highlights of the other guys and full tape on your own guy? The Houston young guys have warts as well and Keyonte highlight tape is seriously good.
Yet one is destined to be a losing player and the others are destined to make leaps.
Sir, I never said it was VORP or nothing, but Brooks VORP is wildly bad and everyone knows he sucks. Brooks adds some "culture" aspects, but he is a huge net negative as a player. He can get hot and have some nice streaks, but his bad games absolutely sink his teams.
I would not be shocked if Keyonte outplays Jalen Green next year.
There's a reason Memphis had no interest in bringing back Brooks.
