As the Houston Rockets appear poised to contend for a championship in 2025-26, every single decision that head coach Ime Udoka makes will have massive implications for the ongoing viability and performance of this roster.
Now, with his comments at a Rockets' community event concerning the fact that the fifth spot in the starting line-up has yet to be determined, it remains a distinct possibility that dynamic young forward Jabari Smith Jr. could be ousted in favor of a catch-and-shoot threat in Dorian Finney-Smith.
While this solution would have numerous implications on the roster, it remains an intriguing question as the team prepares for training camp.
