Rockets 2023-2024 player previews: Jae’Sean Tate
It’s the curious case of Jae’Sean Tate. He was a little bit of a lost man last season for the Houston Rockets, spending a lot of time injured and playing in just 31 games on the year, starting seven. It was the first season of a three-year, $22.1 million contract for Tate, and it’s safe to say it was a relative disappoinment.
Consequently, other than the newly arrived Fred VanVleet, Tate might have the highest basketball IQ on the team. He can play and defend multiple position — legitimately one through four — and is just one of those guys who’s always in the right position to make a play.
