The Houston Rockets have significantly lacked depth on their bench, as they’ve essentially only had Ben McLemore to count on this season as it pertains to reserves who can shoot the triple. Sure Chris Clemons has provided valuable contributions, but coach Mike D’Antoni has shown he doesn’t necessarily trust Clemons, as he’s only played the rookie guard 9.4 minutes per night.
Clemons was converted from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract, but that had as much to do with trade benefits as it had to do with his play on the court.
