As the Houston Rockets soared to the second seed in the Western Conference last season on the shoulders of their young core, one glaring need still remained in their offense: reliable perimeter shooting.
Dorian Finney-Smith, who spent last season with the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers, was brought in to do exactly that for this roster, and, with his recent Media Day comments, it appears as though he has already bought in fully to taking on this role with the Rockets.
Although Finney-Smith has been a starter at various points throughout his career, what has made him such a coveted player is his versatility, and it appears as though he will be ready to be effective off the bench when Houston needs him to be.
