The Houston Rockets have been linked to a lot of guards this season. None would be a better fit than the Kings' Malik Monk.
I was inspired to write this by some recent Darius Garland speculation. A lot of potential Rockets targets feel absurd. Garland made me stop and think.
Wait: Could this make sense?
Ultimately, I decided against Garland. For starters, he's shooting 28.2% from deep this year. That's an outlier for his career, but it's concerning.
Moreover, Garland strongly prefers to play with the ball. He's also short at 6'1", and a questionable defender.
