Houston Rockets starting point guard Fred VanVleet recently suffered a devastating torn ACL which will likely keep him out for the entirety of next season. With this injury and their current depth chart, the Rockets are now thrust into a similar position as the Phoenix Suns without any proven point guards.
This will make the Rockets a direct contender against the Suns for free agents and trade targets at that key position.
The Rockets and Suns will be competing for the same players.
The Rockets are now expected to start third-year player Amen Thompson at point guard and shift their already gargantuan lineup even bigger.
