The Houston Rockets, in signing Clint Capela this offseason to a roster already loaded with sizable players, had one goal in mind: allow themselves the versatility to play big even when Steven Adams is limited.
Now, as the season wears on, the team is evidently coming to the realization that Capela, in many ways, is as capable of Adams of taking on big minutes and that the best course of action may be to stagger their minutes more closely in order to ensure Adams' continued availability.
While Adams has been the best offensive rebounder in the league to this point, Capela is more than capable of taking on some of these minutes and providing an extra offensive punch that Adams does not.
