Can the new Rockets player impress Uduka into rotation? Former star: He will get a chance in the Rockets

On July 30, 2025, the most anticipated team in the offseason is the Rockets, who may become the most powerful contenders for the championship in the new season. The team's lineup is currently perfect, and the depth of the lineup on the front line is the best in the league. However, many people criticized the Rockets' current back line, with only two regular rotation players, Shepard and VanVleet, and then down there is Holiday.

Previously, the Rockets signed JD Davidson through a two-way contract, and the young player still has great potential to tap. He has been playing for the Celtics and its subordinate Development League teams. Last season, he averaged 25.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the G League. He averaged 34.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 13.3 assists per game in the playoffs, and he still has excellent personal abilities.

Recently, former NBA player Jeff Teague talked about the Rockets on the show. He believes that JD Davidson will get a chance with the Rockets, which also reflects the recognition of former NBA players for him. Judging from his performance in the Development League, he has very good organizational skills and has a strong ability to create opportunities for his teammates. At present, the Rockets' back line is relatively weak. Once Shepard's performance is not as expected, Davidson may also gain a certain amount of playing time.

So even though the Rockets have a strong lineup in the new season and are a championship team, Davidson still has the opportunity to get a chance to play. I hope he can seize the opportunity and strive to gain a foothold in the league.
