The Rockets need it so much! Durant s singles efficiency is the first jump shot in the league

ESPN reporter Shams Charania reported that several sources revealed that the Suns and the Rockets reached a big deal: Kevin Durant was sent to the Rockets for Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks, this year's No. 10 and 5 second round picks. The transaction will be completed after the new fiscal year officially takes effect (July 7). Although the Rockets are second in the Western Conference in the 2024-25 season, their offense and defense are seriously unbalanced, which is also an important reason for the first round of the playoffs to be stopped by 3-4. The team has extremely poor offensive space. Durant is undoubtedly the Rockets need the most ball-holding developer. His jump shot is 47.9% from the league and his mid-range shooting percentage is 53.1%. The jump shot with the ball is as high as 50.9%, the best in the league. The Rockets only ranked 27th in jump shot percentage after dribbling, and the team's jump shot percentage ranks 24th in all jump shot percentages.

In addition, the Rockets ranked seventh in singles per game, but their singles efficiency is only ranked 27th in direct scores per round. Durant is the player with the highest direct score in each round among the league's players with at least 200 singles.
