The Houston Rockets are one of the most well-rounded teams in the NBA.
They have two elite playmakers, a bevy of 3-point shooters, and multiple defensive stoppers. The Rockets are on track to make a massive improvement from their 18th ranked defensive a year ago. Despite Patrick Beverley‘s glue-like defense, Chris Paul is an upgrade both offensively and defensively at the point guard position.
Not only does Paul force more turnovers than Beverley, averaging 2.0 steals a game to Beverley’s 1.5, but he also has a bigger impact on his team’s defensive performance.
