Michael Beasley is another guy but given the former No. The Rockets acquired star point guard Chris Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers due to a multitude of trades after the 2017 NBA draft on June 28, 2017, as well as for being the teams first under current owner Tilman Fertitta. However, with D’Antoni’s penchant for playing small ball, Dekker could find himself in the mix as a stretch-4 behind Ryan Anderson if he recovers his outside shot. The 201718 Houston Rockets season was the 51st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and their 47th in the Houston area. Trevor Ariza has been the full-time starter for the Rockets the past three seasons and I expect it to be that way this season. Bottom line is, with Capela’s athleticism, willingness to dive in the PNR and do the dirty work, he has a chance to be a very valuable commodity playing under MDA.

The knock on Capela is his free throw shooting but as long as his attempts remain low (2.7 attempts per game last year), that wouldn’t reflect so much on your team’s overall percentage. He might also be a better rebounder and shotblocker than Howard is at this point of their careers and unlike D12, wouldn’t really mind not getting the ball on O. James Harden tossed in a team-best 2,356 points for the Rockets and contributed 659 rebounds. The team compiled a postseason mark of 6-5. Howard was a +7 in net rating last season but Capela is a +10 in that similar category according to Basketball Reference.

The Beard compiled his best statistical season yet last year (29.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.7 steals per game) but with D’Antoni preaching fast-paced offense all year long, Harden may top over 30 points for the first time in his career.

While looking for hidden gems may sound appealing, there’s no question who the number one guy is. 1? Mandatory Credit: Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports Good players like Shawn Marion and Boris Diaw were made fantasy superstars and mediocre ones like Earl Clark and Jeremy Lin were made relevant.Īgain, they may not be better than they were last season but at least we, as fantasy owners, will have much fun finding gems amongst the 12 men in Rockets uniform. MDA’s system has brought so much fantasy value to teams like the Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Houston Rockets roster may not be that much better without Dwight Howard but with the hiring of Mike D’Antoni, they are going to have a lot of fantasy appeal.
