Wait, David Nwaba is still on the roster? Sure is. He’s easy to forget about considering Houston’s now plethora of forwards all vying for playing time, but Nwaba is about to beging his third season in a Houston Rockets uniform.
There’s not going to be a ton of playing time available for him. Eric Gordon is likely starting at the three, and Jae’Sean Tate, Tari Eason, Garrison Matthews, and KJ Martin are all vying for time at the spot, leaving precious few minutes for the the 29-year-old swingman Nwaba.
But he’s been effective in small spurts for Houston over the last two years even if he doesn’t have a sparkling box line to back that up.
