This offseason, the Houston Rockets lost wing defenders Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute. They were both key parts of the defense last season and the team had to go into free agency looking for a replacement piece.
The journeyman signed a two-year, $4 million deal with the Rockets this summer and has some big shoes to fill. That doesn’t seem to be a problem so far, though, as he has caught the eye of his teammates so far in training camp. His effort and motor are central to his game and he should be a great addition for the team this year.
