The Rockets two new players directly increase their three-point shooting percentage by one level, and the offensive problem is solved

In the past two seasons, the Rockets' problem is poor outside shooting. With the arrival of new players Durant and Anthony Smith, this problem will be solved.

Last season, Durant's three-point shooting percentage was 43%, and Smith's was 41%, which is significantly higher than Jaylen Green's 35% and Dillon's 39%. The key is that when Durant attracts double teams, he can not only pass the ball, but also crack it himself. These abilities happen to be something Jaylen Green does not have at present.

Last season's playoffs, the Rockets and the Warriors fought seven games and were finally eliminated. At that time, if Jaylen Green scored 20+ in another game, the Warriors would probably be eliminated.

Durant's arrival is obviously for the purpose of preparing for the critical game and critical moment. Durant will open the situation where others cannot score. Durant will shoot.

Anthony Smith is a defensive player in addition to three-pointers. It can be said that he is an enhanced version of Dillon. His height, weight, defensive area, and shooting breakthroughs are more accurate, ruthless and more stable than Dillon.

After Durant and Smith join, the Rockets' poor offense will be solved, and the defense will not be lost, so there is no reason not to succeed.
