I will say that DFS has not looked sharp on the offensive end. Neither have any of the Rockets, though. He had some good plays when he was out on the court though. He always plays solid d, he blocks out, and he doesn't turn the ball over. He's on a minute restriction and hard to catch any rhythm when you are limited in minutes. He had that play yesterday, when he pump faked Jalen Williams, drove to the basket and kicked it to Tari for 3. Later on in that quarter, because of that earlier sequence, he hit that corner 3. The Rockets offense isn't designed to take many 3's. If anyone gets 3's on this team, besides KD and Reed. It's off of drive and kicks. I think he was 1-5 yesterday, but I look more at the whole game. He plays defense on 4s that are bigger than him and too strong for Jabari. He may not be lighting it up for all these offensive minded people here, but he does his job on defense just like Okogie.
Technically true. I think Rockets had already decided to use NTMLE making the decision on Capela mostly do they want Capela or 3rd center on minimum as decision on becoming hard capped was likely already made. The Rockets have limited mechanisms to add salary such that the hard cap basically has delayed when Davison gets signed to a standard contract and Rockets add another 2-way. I’m a little surprised Green wasn’t traded to open room for a buyout guy.
