To combat the departure of Luc Mbah a Moute and Trevor Ariza, the Rockets went out and got the best defensive wing they could have gotten in James Ennis.
Ennis, a one-time member of the Memphis ‘Grit & Grind’ Grizzlies is a defense-first guy, or at least he will be for the Rockets. His three-point shooting was at 33.3 percent last season, which is below Ariza’s and LMAM’s levels from last season. He will also look to boost his three-point percentage as he is going to be playing for a team that shoots way more threes than Memphis and Detroit did last season.
