Nic Batum, although a low risk, high reward signing seems like he is already going downhill based on his previous season. Hell, his 3 point shooting percentage has been dipping. I wish we could of gotten Craig. I guess beggars can't be choosers.
He has been injured consecutive seasons like Boogie. Season before last, shooting 38% from 3. But in addition to 3ball, Batum has ability to be a secondary ballhandler, create his own shot, very good man defender, strong off ball defender and overall BB IQ. 6'8 with 7'1 wingspan would improve rebounding and disrupt passing lanes as well.
Yep, Morey drafted him and traded him away almost instantaneously. I was crestfallen, Batum was my sleeper pick that draft.
This is going to be a very different Rockets team from end of last season. There is no way it can be top defense like it was in postseason.
Need to add a starter or 2 that will run balls to the wall in transition with Russ. I think Wood could do this in spurts.
