The Houston Rockets, throughout this offseason, have been lauded for building out one of the most versatile rotations in the NBA, creating significant wing depth and allowing themselves the flexibility to operate with almost any play style given the number of combinations present within their roster.
Yet, according to Ben DuBose on the latest episode of The Lager Line podcast, their infamous double-big lineup, featuring Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams, could still be limited in its usage despite its profound effectiveness down the stretch last season.
As the team attempts to determine its fifth starter, DuBose makes the argument that Adams, as a non-shooter, is too risky a proposition to start, meaning that the double-big lineup will remain a situational matchup that head coach Ime Udoka could be hesitant to lean on extensively.
