Rotation:

PG: Fred VanVleet/Amen Thompson/Aaron Holiday

SF: Dillon Brooks/Cam Whitmore/Jae’Sean Tate

PF: Jabari Smith Jr/Tari Eason/Jeff Green

C: Alperen Sengun/Steven Adams/Jock Landale

Team Profile:

The Rockets found their #1 option. It wasn’t FVV, Jabari, or Jalen Green. It was Sengun. Sengun had a breakout year where he drew comparisons to Nikola Jokic. He has a good supporting cast around him, with Jabari Smith Jr, FVV, Jalen Green, and Dillon Brooks. The Rockets also have a young bench with Amen Thompson, Reed Sheppard, Cam Whitmore, and Tari Eason.

Strengths:

Young Talent

Bench

Depth

Weaknesses:

Inexpirience

Analysis:

The Rockets are a young hungry team. Ime Udoka has turned this ship around, and this team is very promising. However, it’s likely 1-2 years away from contending.

Record: 37-45, 4th in Southwest, 10th in East
