While the Rockets try to find Wall a new home via a trade, he will travel with the team, but not play in games, no doubt a precaution against injury. We are including Wall here even though it was announced he would only be with the team in name and spirit. His challenge will be on the defensive end, but his athleticism and incredible quickness should aid him in those efforts. He is the type of player who could probably lead the league in scoring within three or four years. And he has supposedly put on six pounds of muscle in just a couple of months. The centerpiece of the Rockets rebuild is the rookie second pick in the draft who went from high school straight to the G League. Given their youth, not surprisingly, it's still a pretty long list. We understand that, as fans, you may not recognize some of the names and numbers on the floor this year, so we thought it would be a good idea with preseason already underway, to help you keep them straight.įor simplicity, we will stick with the players expected to be in the rotation at some point this season. It's the kind of makeover you expect from a TV reality show, not a basketball team.
#Houston rockets roster after trade full#
This year after one of the craziest seasons in team history, instead of veterans (mostly) and savvy older coaching, the team has one of the youngest rosters in the NBA full of 19-year-old rookies and a second-year coach. Just over a year ago, during a COVID-shortened season, their hopes were pinned on an aging veteran team that included James Harden and Russell Westbrook, shepherded by a veteran coach and respected general manager. There is something liberating about a fresh start.
