Rockets could grant G-League MVP his longtime wish

As the Houston Rockets enter the 2025-26 NBA season with one of the deepest rosters in the league, a major need still presents itself: depth in the backcourt.

Therefore, reigning G-League MVP JD Davison, whom the Rockets signed this offseason in a minor transaction, could finally get a real opportunity at an NBA role after being sidelined in the deep Boston Celtics' rotation for the first few years of his career.

Davison, 22, has had a limited NBA role since he was chosen 53rd overall out of Alabama, but, as a bona-fide scorer and ball-handler, he could now get the chance to earn minutes under Ime Udoka.
