The Houston Rockets are in need of an upgrade in the frontcourt, as their small-ball strategy from last season departed with Mike D’Antoni. Could Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner be the answer?
Their strategy for this offseason is unclear, as they still need a head coach and Daryl Morey has just stepped down. Regardless, Houston is expected to change course off of D’Antoni’s small ball philosophy, and they could certainly benefit from adding some size.
