Houston rockets need to approach the Guard issues outside the season

After starting 2025 as a top-two seed in the Western Conference, Houston rockets slipped to slot no. 5 Since the loss of the departure point Fred Vanvleet to injury in early February.

The team was very dependent on the game of his veteran this season and it was difficult to replace with the current list of list.

Rockets have shown that they have a real weakness that prevents them from becoming a true competitor in the West and is their lack of depth in the guard position. Despite this fact, they decided to remain in terms of major movements at the commercial term.

With a great decision about the fact that he will keep Vanvleet in offseason or not, Houston must approach his security issues to become a real championship competitor.

Since Vanvleet went down in early February, rockets are only 3-6, with their last loss now coming 14-42 Utah Jazz. During this stretch, Houston’s offense was in a fun funk, having problems in his half-court crime, without his main game.

The rockets also fought to close the games without Vanvleet, making mental errors in the stretch of close games.

The head coach IME UDOKA told reporters after losing them in Jazz on Saturday night that the biggest challenge that train his young team was, “Constant competitiveness and jump in the IQ department.”

It is not unusual as a team with a young nucleus, such as Houston’s to make mental laps, especially when trying to finish the games.

The rockets have done a decent job when it comes to their young people with veterans who can mitigate this problem, but to take that next step, it seems to take another move and have to start with the position guard.

A name that Houston should keep an eye on San Antonio Spours, Chris Paul. Obviously, rockets seek to catch a big name in offseason, but they should not ignore the bright problem they currently have in the back yard, without a true player.

Paul can be that second player behind Vanvleet to anchor the crime, that is, of course, if I decide to keep the guardian outside the season.

Regardless, Houston has some decisions to be offseason and will start with the security position.
