As the young Houston Rockets (1-6) make their way through this season, coach Stephen Silas has yet to give young guard Josh Christopher a steady spot in the rotation.
The decision from Silas has been very surprising thus far, as the Rockets have made it clear that their main goal through their rebuild is to prioritize development.
At just 20 years old, Christopher has repeatedly shown that he could potentially become a great player one day and is someone the franchise should value as a key part of the team’s young core.
Christopher, who the Rockets selected with the 24th overall pick in the 2021 draft, is averaging just over seven minutes a game and has only seen double-digit minutes in three of the team’s seven games.
