The Houston Rockets jumped in the latest power rankings, giving fans reason for optimism.
Although the Houston Rockets have been in the headlines this offseason for their desire to land a superstar, they've remained relatively quiet. Outside of drafting Kentucky's Reed Sheppard with the third overall pick and trading for AJ Griffin- Atlant's first-round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft- the Rockets have opted to run it back.
Between Sheppard and Griffin, the Rockets have addressed their shooting woes from last offseason, which the franchise's brass prioritized this summer. And based on the latest power rankings from Michael Saenz of Sir Charles in Charge, the Rockets"In what could be considered somewhat of a surprise, the Houston Rockets have been fairly quiet this offseason.
The big question for the Rockets heading the season is whether they're in a position to take another step forward in the Western Conference. Right now, that's impossible to answer one way or another. Quite frankly, the Rockets' chances of competing for a playoff spot in the West will likely hinge on Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun.
If Green and Sengun are able to take another step forward in their progression, the Rockets are a team that could emerge as a dark horse to snag one of the NBA Play-In Tournament spots." The Rockets were above the New Orleans Pelicans, who came in at 20, and below the Golden State Warriors, who ranked 18th. Last week's power rankingsLast year's new-look Rockets finished 11th in the Western Conference with a 41-41 record, but dealt with a myriad of injuries to Alperen Sengun, Tari Eason, Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, and 2023 firsr-round pick Amen Thompson.
