you guys are thinking short term, having a chet lite with all the talent we have now will make us a very dangerous team in the future
I BEEN SAYING WE NEED TO TANK FOR Victor he is the answer and will be better then chet by how much IDK
I don't think you have to worry about Tate being a slacker like Simmons .... That dude just didn't give a damn. We hear an awful lot about how this bunch of young Rockets are always hard at work on their games and Tate is known to be one of the most dedicated .... we'll see if all their work pays off.
I'm not worried, I've got TaBari that can play either 3 or 4. It's not so much slacking as it is a mental block like Dwight Howard shooting free throws during games. A form of stage fright. What is promising is Tate shot 38% from 3 in his last 22 games. Problem is, it was only on 2.5 shots per game. Nobody worries a good percentage on miniscule attempts. It's not enough to draw the defense out unless it's a last second shot and the game is close. And would Tate have enough confidence in himself to shoot it then? At worst opponents are thinking that's about one 3 that they have to overcome somewhere during the course of a game. Meanwhile packing the paint is more than making up for that one 3. This is how defenses have gotten so smart. __________ And yes Tate works hard....Jalen Green, Jabari, Tari, Christopher with Tate all have tremendous drive to win. That's why I've said good luck trying to get these guys "Tanking." They all might throw grandmother over a cliff to win. Incentives in contracts are also a driving force. This is why I project 30+ wins and why everyone will increase their assist totals. Since everyone will be progressing to about 3 to 4 more points across the board. Sengun, Tate, Kenyon, JC, *Green, Porter. *might be in the neighborhood of a 9 point increase in avg pts now that some Wood has been removed.
