The forward doesn't bring much on the offensive end, with six points per game last year. However, he did up his 3-point shooting to 39.1 percent, above his 32.4 career figure.
However, he does bring much-needed defensive ability for the Rockets. They have plenty of shooters, but players like Trevor Ariza, P.J. Tucker and now Mbah a Moute give them defensive help.
