The Houston Rockets have transformed into a formidable team with their recent acquisitions, including the blockbuster trade for Kevin Durant. With the addition of depth in their frontcourt, they have created a competitive environment where several players, including Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams, are vying for minutes. The effectiveness of the double-big lineup has been highlighted as a key to their success, yet it raises questions about player rotation and individual stats.

Sengun's season was marked by defensive improvements, but his offensive performance dipped significantly, sparking discussions about his role amid the influx of talent. Meanwhile, the prospects for Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson's minutes remain uncertain, given the competition for starting positions and ball-sharing responsibilities. Ultimately, the Rockets' depth could lead to a more balanced attack and enhance individual performances as they aim for a top seed in the Western Conference.
