Houston Rockets Team Stats 2022 Rockets Team Stats
1-2, 3rd in West Southwest
The Houston Rockets have twisted and manipulated their lineup across the last four seasons, trying to configure a championship roster centered on James Harden. Chris Paul had his opportunity, and then Houston gave Russell Westbrook a chance. Clint Capela manned the middle of the Rockets' defense, but Capela is now an Atlanta Hawk. Houston's management staff has completely revamped the Rockets' roster. John Wall was brought in from Washington. Wall was a swap with the Wizards for Westbrook, and a future first-round pick was added on Houston's side of the ledger. There were reasonably well-founded playoff aspirations in Houston for Wall and Harden as a tandem.

Much of any potential for team success this season centered on the rejuvenation of DeMarcus Cousins at center. This experiment lasted far less than the Paul or Westbrook models. Barely two-weeks into the new season, Houston sent the disgruntled Harden to Brooklyn. A week later, the Rockets hauled in a disgruntled player from another team. No one doubts the talent of Kevin Porter Jr., but Cleveland seemingly wasn't enamored by his locker room attitude. Porter is now a Rocket. Now, all these player changes will require Rockets' fans to grab a game day program to sort out the new faces. However, fans are going to need to update that program continually over the next couple of seasons.
Houston officially entered the rebuild category, and they have a loaded bank of draft picks to accomplish it quickly. The Rockets will pick three players in the first round in the next NBA Draft, plus another pair of second-round selections. Five draft picks in 2021 will go a long way to rebuilding the Rockets' star power. But they will add another trio of first-round picks in 2022. With another future star in Christian Wood now a Rocket, Houston won't be a pushover this year. Nevertheless, Houston is in the envious position of being able to load a roster with six first-round draft picks out of two drafts. The current roster will be formidable enough to stay competitive, but the Rockets clearly are focused on a future launch date for their championship aspirations.
