Can the Rockets’ Bold New Duo of Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Ignite an Unstoppable Championship Run?
The Right Fit for KD
The Rockets were seen by many outlets as the team most likely to acquire Durant this offseason because the fit was so apparent. However, that doesn’t mean it should be glossed over just how much he upgrades the team.
In the half court, the Rockets were near the bottom of the league in efficiency for most play types. The lone exception is post-ups, as Alperen Sengun was able to maintain a respectable efficiency despite a very high volume of them often with cramped spacing.

Sengun is a fantastic offensive player, but asking him to gain an advantage for the offense every play without the ideal complementary spacing or creation on the floor is a lot to ask.
