Parsons wins most improved player...Asik avgs double double...team leads league in assists...rockets have 5th best defense in NBA...rockets make playoffs
1. Rockets will finish 4th in Southwest Division (in front of the Hornets) and miss the playoffs. 2. Kevin Martin will be traded in February although being Houstons top scorer at this point. 3. Patrick Patterson will be a Starter in October but not in April. 4. Jeremy Lamb and Royce White will represent the Rockets in the Rookies versus Sophomore game (All Star Weekend), Chandler Parsons will play for the Sophomores. 5. Rockets will have two Lottery Picks between 6 and 12.
We have 4 rookies & 10 players who are 23 or younger. It'll take a long while to develope all these youngsters, especially for McHale who's best suited to work with veterans. While I think we'll have a decient team at the end of the season, we'll struggle enough early on to get a high draft pick. That being said, here's my 2 bold predictions: 1.We get 2 draft picks (between 3 & 10) and 2.Asik gets 5 or 6 fouls in 20 or less games.
