The Houston Rockets acquired Kevin Durant to be their leading scorer. That plan has mostly worked out, but his inability to function as a primary ball-handler has been a problem for this roster.
This isn't meant to be a harsh criticism of Durant. He's one of the best scorers in NBA history. The 24.8 points per game on 61.7 True Shooting % (TS%) is a bit below his career standard, but that's fine. At 37, the Rockets surely knew Durant would be in post-prime mode. He's still giving them the high-quality half-court scorer they lacked in 2024-25.
