Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal

The Houston Rockets are in a perfect position to take a swing on Reddish’s upside. They should take this deal without hesitation.

Of course, Martin has upside of his own. In fact, he’s a remarkably gifted run-and-jump athlete. On the other hand, he’s got a fair bit of skill to develop before he’s a surefire rotation player.

Reddish at least clears that threshold. It also feels fair to say that he’s got a higher upside than Martin. After all, he was a lottery pick, while Martin was a second-round selection.

That’s quite the discrepancy. Reddish may remain underdeveloped, but he’s simply a higher-level prospect than Martin. Fans could look to Andrew Wiggins’ recent development and feel optimistic about Reddish’s chances as a similar player.
