Rockets two-way player DJ Davison performed brilliantly in the preseason. Some fans bluntly said that he is much better than the original Dyson Knicks.

Dyson Knicks served as a backup point guard during the Rockets' rebuilding period and had 7 starts. He was called a bad weapon by fans.
The Rockets made a wave of operations after the preseason, with five picks and five cuts to support the Vipers. Fans saw the Knicks' name again.
NBA reporter Smith revealed that the Rockets signed Dayshon Knicks. Some fans said they were shocked after seeing this news.

The Knicks can't make shots and can't defend, which is obviously not Uduka's cup of tea. The Rockets then waived Dyson Nix and Caleb McConnell, who signed with him.

In addition to the Knicks and McConnell, Houston reporter Kelly Aiko also revealed that the Rockets signed Vernon Carey Jr., Council IV and Tyrese Hunter, and then they will be waived and their next stop will be the Development League.
The Rockets signed these five players with non-guaranteed contracts and then waived them. According to the rules, their affiliated team in the Development League, the Vipers, will have priority to sign.
The Rockets will not delegate Sheppard again in the new season. He will be reused and have the opportunity to directly enter the starting lineup. DJ Davidson also has a chance to enter Uduka's rotation. Under such circumstances, the Rockets needed to find a point guard for the Vipers, so the opportunity came for the Knicks, an old acquaintance.

Council IV is 24 years old and 1.98 meters tall. When he played for the 76ers last season, he came to Houston and played with the Rockets, which may have left an impression on Stone. At that time, Consil IV started and scored 10 points and 2 assists in 24 minutes. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers and had a plus-minus of +5. The Rockets ultimately won that game. Jaylen Green and Dillon combined to score 55 points. Now they are no longer on the team. Fan Jordan only scored 3 points, and now he is seriously injured and out of action.

Grimes scored 46 points in that game. Many Rockets fans hoped that he could come to Houston to play. He finally chose to accept the qualifying offer and become a completely free agent next summer.
The preseason and regular season are obviously not of the same intensity, let alone the playoffs. Houston media "SpaceCityScoop" is still not confident about Sheppard and Davidson, and suggested that Stone consider Dinwiddie.

Previously, famous reporter Shams revealed that the Hornets waived Dinwiddie and the latter became a free agent. Dinwiddie is 32 years old and 1.96 meters tall. He is an experienced veteran. He has played 612 regular season games and 33 playoff games. He played 79 times for the Mavericks last season, averaging 11 points and 4.4 assists per game, shooting 41.6% from the field and 33.4% from the three-point range. Last season, the Mavericks lost miserably to the Rockets in Houston. Dinwiddie scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He made 9 of 15 shots and 2 of 3 three-pointers. He felt good.

"spacecityscoop" said that Dinwiddie can pass the ball and organize, and he can provide help to the Rockets.
But here comes the problem. The Rockets can't sign Dinwiddie now because they don't have enough salary space to offer a veteran's minimum salary contract. The Rockets are only $1.2 million away from the first hard salary cap.

The Rockets can only wait for a while if they want to use the remaining salary space to strengthen free agents. At the beginning of the Rockets' new season, Udoka can only use Shepard. The latter has gained confidence in the preseason to see if he can continue his form into the regular season. In addition, DJ Davidson may have a chance to become a surprise player in Uduka's hands.
