Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr. and Josh Cristopher: it’s starting to get crowded on the “backcourt” of Rocketsand it is not surprising Tyty Washington Jr. who bears the cost.
Rookie this season, the former Kentucky player has struggled to obtain the confidence of Stephen Silas, and will therefore not even have the opportunity to try to obtain that of Ime Udoka since he will take the direction ofAtlantawith Usman Garuba according to The Athletic. In exchange, the Hawks send the Rockets future Draft picks, but we don’t know more for the moment.
In Georgia, in the rotation of Hawks, Tyty Washington Jr. will undoubtedly be offered more opportunities by Quin Snyder, in relay of Trae Young with the rookie Kobe Bufkin. On the other hand, it is difficult to imagine a path to rotation for Usman Garuba, blocked as it is in the pivot position behind Clint Capela and Onyeka Okungwu.
