Is it rumored that Okogie will become a key training target for the Rockets in the future?

With the Rockets' three-game winning streak, it can be said that there are no problems on the offensive end of the Rockets now, and the defense is slowly getting back on track. At the beginning of the season, coach Uduka used the "five major lineups" as a regular weapon, causing the team's offense to be in trouble. Fortunately, Uduka found his way back and finally put Okogie into the starting lineup in time. The players also returned to their comfortable positions. In the end, the Rockets also ushered in what the fans imagined. Durant clocked out in the third quarter these times. It can be said that all this stems from the entry of Okogie, signed by the Rockets for 3 million, into the starting lineup.

Rockets Okogie was selected by the Timberwolves with the 20th overall pick in the first round of 2018. He played for the Timberwolves and Suns in his career. Last season, he was used by the Suns in the trade for Richards and was sent to the Hornets. He was subsequently waived by the Hornets. The Lakers were originally interested in Okogie this summer, but they ultimately chose Smart and gave up on Okogie. The Rockets finally signed Okogie with an annual salary of 3 million. It only took him three games to prove that he can not only defend the opponent's outside arrows, but also output stable three-pointers. You must know that Okogie is only 27 years old and at the peak of his career. Judging from the current situation, Okogie is likely to be used more and more. When he was in the Suns because the overall defense of the Suns was not good, he alone could not show how high his defensive strength was. Now under the Rockets Uduka's defensive system, he is like a fish in water and has become the Rockets' favorite.

Okogie is likely to be entrusted with more and more important tasks by the Rockets in the future. After VanVleet and Finney Smith return, the Rockets will rank first in the league in terms of perimeter defense!
