The Rockets’ surprise announcement at the start of the regular season that Bruno Fernando would replace Sengun as the starting center prompted Rockets fans to lose their collective consciousness.
The Rockets figured Sengun would get more touches in the second unit while Fernando would bring more defensive presence and lob threat to the starting lineup. Fernando got off to a solid start, showing natural chemistry with Porter Jr., especially in the lob game, and his ability to get shooters off the screens he set up. Unfortunately, injuries cut short his time as a starter.
The Rockets will be making tough decisions about who will play and who will watch from the bench sooner rather than later. Fernando brings an element that other centers don’t. He can play above the rim and is the best interior defender of any Rockets center.
This season is the opposite of last, with a rebalanced offense-leaning lineup from the offseason. Around this time last year, Hawks president Schlenk described Cam Reddish as the No. 1 player. No. 10 pick in 2019 perfect basketball player. He’s 6-foot-9, tall, athletic, and skilled,” he told me in an interview last year. Most of the Hawks’ draft funds were spent on such players. But the formula needs tinkering.
The Hawks have an interchangeable group of forwards with a multi-faceted skill set: Kevin Huerter & Bogdan Bogdanovic, who are sharp 3-point shooters.
They can pass the ball across the court like a Frisbee; De’Andre Hunter and Reddish, hulking wings drafted in the 2019 lottery with different ball-handling abilities and two-way potential. They can all shoot, handle, attack, and defend laterally to varying degrees, but they’re redundant together, wanting to shoot in the same place but lacking in rebounding and defense. The Warriors didn’t build the most successful small-ball kit in the NBA by focusing on drilling and shot creation at the defense. The key is Draymond Green, a 6-foot-6 forward who can rebound like a 7-foot big and push the ball forward like a guard.
The Match between the Houston Rockets and the Atlanta Hawks is exciting, and The Hawks will go home with a victory.
