Houston Rockets: The defensive outlook for the 2019-20 season

A big loss in the offseason for the Houston Rockets was the releasing of associate head coach/defensive coordinator Jeff Bzdelik and assistant defensive coordinator Roy Rogers, and among other questions surrounding the team and its personnel, what can fans expect from the defense going into the 2019-20 season?

In 2018, the Houston Rockets got off to a HORRID start defensively, which caused general manager Daryl Morey to contact Bzdelik in hopes of bringing him out of retirement. Luckily for Houston, the defensive guru came out of his retirement and helped bring a huge improvement to a team struggling to make a stop defensively.
