Houston Rockets guard Ty Ty Washington had a season filled with DNPs, moments in the NBA that showed his potential, and trips to the Valley, where he thrived. The Rockets drafted Washington 29th overall, a pick they received in the Christian Wood trade with the Dallas Mavericks.
Washington was seen as a player with great potential and battled Daishen Nix for the backup point guard position behind Kevin Porter Jr. for most of the off-season. Washington would end up third on the depth chart to start the season. Eventually, he would be sent to the Rockets G-League affiliate, the defending champions Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
