Rockets Taobao success, Okogie’s value is immeasurable

The Rockets signed Okogie for $3.1 million in one year. As a result, the defender's performance shocked everyone and his value is immeasurable.

This season, the Rockets had a bad start and lost two games in a row. Udoka made a decisive change and replaced Adams in the starting lineup with Okogie. The effect was immediate, and they directly launched a wave of six consecutive victories. Okogie made great contributions on both ends of the offense and defense, especially his three-point shooting rate as high as 52.2%, ranking among the top five in the league.

Okogie is from Nigeria. He is 27 years old. He is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 97 kilograms. He is the 20th pick in the first round of 2018. He has played for the Timberwolves, Suns, Hornets and Rockets respectively. He is a physically strong defender with excellent athletic ability, strong outside shooting and rebounding abilities; his disadvantage is that he has poor ability without the ball, and poor passing vision and timing. The Rockets' signing of Okogie is definitely a treasure trove. The contract cannot be more valuable. His performance is amazing and he has become an indispensable and important role for the Rockets.
