    Bench unit is key to Rockets success.

    https://www.thedreamshake.com/2020/...-houston-rockets-second-unit-can-be-dangerous

    “To get that second unit to function as they did on Sunday is a big key for us. Our first unit has been good, but if we can add another spark with the guys coming off the bench, we would like to keep that going forward. It’s a big part of winning and losing.” — Mike D’Antoni

    “I knew he [Green] was more than capable of helping us. That was one of the reasons we reached out. He’s able to handle the basketball, he’s able to knock down shots, he’s pretty solid on defense, so he fits into what we’re doing.” — James Harden

    “He [Green] is going to play. He’s a heck of a basketball player. He can make shots and he knows how to play. The last three weeks since we have been practicing, he has been great.” — Mike D’Antoni

    During the scrimmages, Green has ingrained himself as Houston’s most reliable defensive player off the bench. He does a substantial job staying in front of the opposition despite his lack of his lateral quickness. Green’s most significant aspect on the defensive end is his ability to use his 6’8” stature to prevent easy buckets around the basket.

    Although they will be losing a percentage of their offensive capability, the Rockets’ second unit may become their best defensive rotation with DeMarre Carroll also projected to receive added minutes in Gordon’s absence. The possibilities D’Antoni has to fill in the vacant position due to Gordon’s injury is just another example of how dangerous Houston’s second unit has become as the NBA restart looms.

    these idiots only played Zion 15 minutes. newsflash! : you will not make the playoffs limiting Zions minutes. they are way overly cautious with this kid. pelicans win this by 10 if they played him just 25 minutes. they needed that win.
