When Stephen Silas got the head coaching job with the Houston Rockets, it was clear that the Rockets were getting one of the best young coaching minds in the league. Silas had previously been the assistant coach with the Dallas Mavericks and led them to the best offense in NBA history in 2019-20.
Silas had also been in the coaching ranks for more than two decades, coaching under icons such as Don Nelson, Rick Carlisle, and his dad Paul Silas, to name a few.
