Houston Rockets: Clint Capela

Clint Capela is 22 years old and will be the starting Center for the Houston Rockets this coming season.

With Dwight Howard no longer in the picture for the Rockets, Capela is expected to see a huge increase in minutes this season. Capela is a hybrid big man who is the defensive anchor in the paint, but has also shown moments of brilliance on the offensive end.

Capela has a ton of potential, however he is still very raw in terms of development. As a result of Howard leaving, a lot of minutes coming his way this season, he should see a huge increase in his production on both ends of the floor.
