The Houston Rockets, for the most part, have not been playing their rookies enough to properly evaluate them. And that’s a testament to the amount of talent that head coach Mike D’Antoni has at his disposal this year.

Troy Williams, however, has played in 24 of this season’s games and that’s the most of all four rookies.

Most of his action came in a stretch from November to December of last calendar year, in which he did a decent job contributing to the team. Though, as the NBA’s playoff race heats up, he hasn’t seen any playing time this calendar year.
