For fans of lottery-bound teams like the Houston Rockets, the offseason has already unofficially begun. There is little left to play for. The most pressing question entering the season has already been answered: Jalen Green is a certified bucket.
Other significant questions remain. Is Kevin Porter Jr. a point guard? Is Alperen Sengun a future star? Can you put fruit loops on a mac-and-cheese hot dog twice without going to prison? The remaining 14 games are unlikely to illuminate much. The team will enter 2022-23 with those questions unanswered,
So why not think ahead? This Rockets team is bound to look different next year.
