A look at players at the core of the Rockets' continuing rebuild as the NBA regular...
Whether Tate remains a starter or comes off the bench, he is important to the Rockets for his ability to do so many of the little things with his unwavering intensity. To be a 3-and-D forward he would need to improve his 3-point shooting greatly, but he is such a strong ballhandler and passer, the Rockets hope to take advantage of teams dropping off him in ways beyond hoping that shots left open go in.
As remarkable as is his ability to finish over much bigger defenders, he also defends big men well, making him a valuable rotation player.Marjanovic seems likely to be a part-time player the Rockets call on when only his enormous size with the defensive rebounding and shooting touch that comes with it, will do. Washington could push Nix for the backup point position but would benefit from G League time if not playing with the Rockets.
