“Survivor” of the reorganization carried out this summer in Houstonwhere several players left the franchise to make room for newcomers Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday and Jock Landale, Jae’Sean Tate is preparing enthusiastically for his fourth season with the Rockets.
” For now, we are all getting to know each other. It’s a radically changed squad. From the staff to the players, so this summer is above all dedicated to getting to know each other, as a person but also as a player, knowing our different qualities and working on our weaknesses. » he says first.
At 27, the power forward trained at Ohio State is in the prime of his life, and for the first time in his career he will finally be able to take part in a season whose obectjif is the playoffs, not the Draft lottery.
” There has definitely been change. We have a young staff, who are on the same wavelength as us. On several occasions, Ime [Udoka] took part in the exercises, to show us. With our young group, it’s a good thing he added, he who was a young veteran in the young Texan workforce last season. ” And then we added good veterans, who will really help us. To help our young people, but also to help me, in my particular position. I will continue to learn from them. »
A physical team with stature
Rid of his physical glitches which deprived him of fifty games last season, Jae’Sean Tate therefore projects himself with ambition into the system of Ime Udoka, within which the valiant “role-player” of the Rockets s imagine, unsurprisingly, a primarily defensive role, alongside other good defenders on the outside positions.
” We can cause problems for opponents. When you have several players with size and stature who can play physical, it’s hard for the opposing team to gain an advantage. And we have several guys who can defend in several positions, and it makes it difficult for them to score “concludes Jae’Sean Tate. ” I can’t wait to see the different lineups we’re going to use, and I trust Ime to make the right adjustments and make the right choices to create chaos defensively. »
