Houston Rockets
Biggest Hole: Reliability
The reason why I have reliability here is simple. Other than James Harden, I’m not sure what the Houston Rockets can hang their hats on. Ryan Anderson? Nah. Eric Gordon? Ha. Patrick Beverley? I guess?
Will Anderson and Gordon, who have well-documented injury issues in the past, remain healthy? If so, that could work. Although, I don’t think that’s something we can just assume. That’s the biggest issue for the Rockets heading into the 2016-17 season.
Apart from that, are we sure Anderson and Gordon, if healthy, are ready to take on that second fiddle? Even if healthy, if I’m the Rockets, I’m not comfortable with that assumption.
