With the Houston Rockets in desperate need of a big man, the Indiana Pacers could come in handy, and especially if they wind up bringing Mike D’Antoni on board.
It’s no secret that the Houston Rockets are deprived of size, as they became notorious for employing the small ball scheme, which sacrificed size for length and the ability to space the floor. The Rockets traded up-and-coming center Clint Capela, who at 25-years-old is under contract through 2023.
Former Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni was comfortable with operating under the microball strategy, which led to the Rockets parting ways with developmental big man Isaiah Hartenstein, as Harty simply wasn’t getting any playing time.
