The Houston Rockets had their best season in franchise history in this one category, and it's barely being talked about.
The Houston Rockets have been in the NBA for 58 years, going back to 1967 in San Diego. Over that time, the Rockets have had MVPs, Hall of Fame players, and championships. That means the Rockets have set many franchise records, both good and bad.
Since Paul's exit after the 2018-19 season and the Harden trade, the Rockets have been one of the worst teams in the NBA when it comes to turnovers. In 2022-23, the Rockets ranked No. 29 in turnovers, and in 2021-22, they ranked last. In both seasons, they averaged over 16 turnovers per game. Last season, the Rockets had their best season ever in terms of turnovers. They turned the ball over only 12.7 times a game, the only time in franchise history they averaged less than 13 per game.Even more remarkable, last season, the Rockets had their third-lowest total turnover mark. The only two seasons with less total turnover were 1998-99 and 2011-12. Both of those seasons were strike-shortened seasons.
Although VanVleet's game is nothing flashy, his impact on the Rockets last season can not be understated. VanVleet has never been seen as one of the best playmakers in the NBA, but he flipped the script in the 2023-24 season.
