As the Houston Rockets enter the 2025-26 NBA season, one of the major strengths of their team lies in the rotational versatility and depth they have provided for themselves through their collection of players in their frontcourt.
Yet, according to former NBA executive John Hollinger, in his comments on the recent episode of The Zach Lowe Show, the team might be too tilted toward sizable players, and, especially given Fred VanVleet's injury, this could cause serious issues as they attempt to make a run at a championship.
In many ways, this is the style of ball that the Rockets and head coach Ime Udoka prefer to play: top-heavy with the ability to dominate opposing teams physically.
