Why The Houston Rockets Do The Deal 

By contrast, the Rockets don’t need to worry about whether these young guys are ready to win. At 5-15, they’re one of the worst teams in the NBA. 

Moreover, that suits them perfectly. We don’t want to say Houston is tanking – as one of the youngest teams in the NBA, they’d probably be losing no matter what. On the other hand, rest assured that this front office knows that losing can benefit them. 

With that in mind, they might as well add some more young players. Moody is a seamless fit here. As a 3-and-D wing, he could be a valuable player for the Rockets for years to come. 

Wiseman’s fit is less clear in light of the emergence of Sengun. Still, they do have contrasting skill sets. Sengun is an offensive virtuoso with limited athleticism that limits his defensive impact.

By contrast, Wiseman is an athletic marvel in need of much offensive polishing. 

He hasn’t looked great in Golden State, but that doesn’t mean the Rockets shouldn’t give him a second chance.
