In past years, the Houston Rockets have lacked bench depth, which has contributed to coach Mike D’Antoni‘s rotations, as he constantly opts to play the same six players essentially all game. This year has been a bit of a different story, as the Rockets have found bench depth in the unlikeliest of places: Ben McLemore.
McLemore who was once a lottery pick and essentially found himself out of the league after six seasons. Prior to this season, the 26-year-old had seemingly run out of options, as the Rockets were one of the few teams who called and inquired about the former Kansas Jayhawk’s services.
