Houston Rockets

Wishlist: A Dominant Rebounder 

Mike D’Antoni has brought a new swagger to this Houston team. Run & Gun offensive style with and extremely fast pace, whether they give up a bucket (which is more than likely) or they don’t. James Harden and this offense is a match made in heaven. With him at the point, he has total control of what goes on during an offensive possession. He has the brightest neon green light known to man.

The Rockets lead the league in three-point shooting attempting 39 a game and making 15 of them. They do not have a problem scoring points, and with their play style, defense isn’t that big of a priority for them.

We are getting the Rockets a double-digit rebounder for Christmas!

Look for this guy to be a relentless scrapper. Someone who isn’t afraid to do the dirty work on this finesse team. They need a guy to go all out for loose balls. A modern day Dennis Rodman would be the perfect fit in this Houston lineup. Since time travel isn’t available yet, keep an eye on Kenneth Faried and maybe for their own Montrezl Harrell to get more minutes.
