Houston Rockets
After losing Trevor Ariza this past summer, the Houston Rockets are going to need a player that is willing to do all the dirty work he did for this team. It’s one of the biggest reasons why the Rockets were so successful last season.
Despite his talent, I simply don’t believe Carmelo Anthony will be able to fill the void that Ariza left. Will he still be valuable to Houston? Absolutely, especially if he embraces a sixth man role. However, he can’t be the glue guy that Ariza was. I simply don’t see it, especially on the defensive end.
That where James Ennis comes in. Ennis can hit the 3, play defense and do all the dirty work that not every big name players likes to do. I see him flourishing on this team, littered by talent. All he has to do is play his role. That’s perfect for a player like Ennis.
