Rebuilding an NBA team is tricky. In a funny way, sometimes, you can end up acquiring too much talent.
Of course, that’s a rich person’s dilemma. Moreover, it’s not one NBA teams try to avoid. If they end up with a surplus of exciting young prospects at a certain position, that’s much better than a deficit. They’ll sort the rest out later.
For the Houston Rockets, later might be now. This team surely has a surplus of exciting young wings. In the 2022 draft, they selected Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason. Meanwhile, Jae’Sean Tate is a little older, but this front office seems to value his steady hand and versatile defense.
None of which leaves much room for Kenyon Martin Jr. Apparently, he’s feeling the squeeze.
