Do you think Zhou Qi’s strength lies in the interior or the exterior of the court?

In the Rockets’ current roster, what’s most lacking are players for positions 4 and 5. Zhou Qi is precisely the player whose role on these two positions is still uncertain for the Rockets. When Zhou Qi plays at position 5, his defensive skills and ability to protect the basket are not sufficient. In the games he has played in, we’ve seen him mostly playing at position 4, moving outward; but this is also a role that is difficult for him to adapt to. Back in China, Zhou Qi was used at position 5 and was used to dominating in the paint, but in the NBA, his offensive and defensive abilities are poor, and his physical strength isn’t adequate. Zhou Qi, who failed to seize the opportunities last time, will find it difficult to gain DeAntoni’s approval. DeAntoni is a very cautious person who prefers to use an 8-player rotation system. Moreover, Zhou Qi hasn’t made much progress with the Rockets; no wonder Harden said that Zhou Qi can’t be compared to Yao Ming. Yao Ming was extremely hardworking and dedicated, while Zhou Qi has not faced big-game pressures, lacks motivation, and thus finds it hard to succeed.

It can be said that Zhou Qi is the best Chinese center in terms of performance at the NBA’s perimeter positions
