In one of the best under-the-radar signings this season Daryl Morey added Brazilian powerhouse Nene Hilario to the Houston Rockets for just $2.9M. The former Washington Wizard who struggled with injuries the past few seasons is set to take on a new role with the Texan team.
After the departure of big man Dwight Howard the Rockets were left with a huge gap in their frontcourt. Granted, even when considering Clint Capela’s potential the team still lacked a strong presence in the paint.
Besides adding depth to the center position, Nene Hilario can be a leading voice in the locker room.
