A long, multi-positional defender that could spot up and knock down long-range shots. That was the player the Houston Rockets were hoping to get when they signed Thabo Sefolosha in September. He had been that exact player for most of the 2010s, but at 35, his best days appear to be behind him.
Through his first 14 games with the team, it is unclear how many good days, if any, he has ahead of him. He’s averaging a career-low 10.9 minutes per game due to his minimal impact. With all the injuries piling up in Houston’s wing rotation, that simply won’t cut it.
