The Houston Rockets were able to make a few waves before the trade deadline and were able to successfully flip Brandon Knight, Marquese Chriss and this year’s first-rounder to land Iman Shumpert which should be able to give this team a jolt defensively.
Shumpert actually looked quite promising in his debut against the Oklahoma City Thunder last Saturday during prime time but the rate that he picked up his personal fouls was alarming. I think that could be a matter of him not giving up on each play that he’s involved in but he’s certainly got to manage as I’m positive this team will need to use him down the stretch.
