The rockets have some pieces, as Kyle Lowry is developing into one of the better PGs in the league and Kevin Martin is an above average SG. Sammy Dalembert is a solid C having a good year, but SF and PF remains areas of need for Houston. Trades are always likely with the Rockets, but of late they haven’t been able to attract any marquee names, meaning solid drafting will be of great importance.
