The Houston Rockets' two biggest problems last year were back-to-the-basket
scoring and their overall subpar point guard play. When it comes to finding
a back-to-the-basket scorer, the team is looking into solving that as soon
as possible, with free-agent centers Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum on the
market.
When it comes to addressing point guards of the future, the options won’t
be laid out so plainly.
With a boatload of young forwards, the team will need to add a point guard
in the near future if Jeremy Lin doesn’t improve significantly.
I believe that Lin will never improve dramatically and that the team will
have to look elsewhere for a floor general to fulfill the organization’s
championship aspirations.
Popular belief is that Lin will be starting next to Harden for the near
future, but the bottom line is that Harden is eons ahead of Lin in talent
and needs a better running mate to bring a ring to Houston. While Linsanity
has rotted the brains of many disillusioned fans, the reality is that Lin is
not a quality starting point guard in this league.
While Lin won’t have trouble finding 20-25 minutes per game in the league,
his lack of foot speed, shaky three-point shot and inability to handle heavy
on-ball pressure indicate that he’s more likely to find time on a winner
as a reserve guard.
Additionally, Lin is a defensive liability.
Coach Kevin McHale was forced to insert reserve guard Patrick Beverley into
the lineup down the stretch of too many games last year, especially against
the better point guards in the league. Beverly (and Toney Douglas earlier in
the year) also stole minutes from Lin in several games due to Lin’s
offensive disappearing acts, which disproves the myth that Lin is an above-
average offensive talent.
James Harden’s ability as a passer allows the Rockets to search for a point
guard that doesn’t serve as a traditional pass-first guy like Ty Lawson or
Rajon Rondo. Jeremy Lin led the team in assists this past season, but he
played off the ball often due to Harden’s prowess in the pick-and-roll game
.
Houston is built to ascend in the Western Conference with talented wings in
Harden and Parsons, along with a bundle of talented youngsters and a ton of
space under the cap. However, outside of Harden and Parsons, the rest of the
starting spots are all up for grabs.
In the past two seasons, the team has undergone constant changes. But this
season’s playoff berth, sparked by the trade for Harden in late October,
shows that the team has the capacity to join the league’s elite in the near
future. An upgrade at point guard will further the team’s case and show
the rest of the league that the Rockets mean business.
If Daryl Morey’s moves in the last couple years have taught us anything, it
’s that we should expect the unexpected. While the no-brainer option of
Chris Paul would be ideal, Morey has contingency plans for his contingency
plans.
Dozens of options will arise, but the quicker he decides to pull the trigger
on a deal—whether it be in free agency or via trade—the sooner he’ll be
able to build the rest of his squad with certainty.
Finding a backcourt mate for Harden is essential to Houston’s maturation as
an offense. Last season, Houston averaged more possessions per game than
any other squad and relied on its fast-break offense to create shots. If the
team wants to take a step into championship relevance, it’ll need to find
a guy that can push the tempo, spread the floor and defend the league’s
elite floor generals. | A****a
