How far can Houston go this year under Ime Udoka? He has the entire team playing principled defense while Sengun is an all star and Jalen Green is a home game all star.

Honestly the amount of damage Jabari Smith Jr.'s versatility does to other teams defensively is going under the radar. Man can switch onto almost anyone which gives the Rockets a lot of options.

Not sure if it's under the radar. His defensive prowess was the second biggest thing he was drafted for.

He was hyped as that guy but hasn’t really showed it until recently. A lot of the fan base weren’t really freaking out with how bad he was offensively as a rookie because of his defensive potential but it started to get a little scary because he was pretty shit on that end too. Who wouldn’t thought that a 20 year old would improve..?
