The 2023-24 season that has just ended has been marked by growth and improvement among young people. Houston Rockets (41-41), whose 19-win improvement was the biggest annual increase of any NBA team. One reason was the signing of veteran forward and defensive threat Dillon Brooks in the 2023 offseason.

Heading into the 2024-25 season, there is hope for another leap forward. With a young and talented core comprised of seven early-round picks (Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason, Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore and Reed Sheppard) from the last four NBA draft cycles, Houston has a significant amount of young talent that could improve organically.

Additionally, three Houston veterans planned game rotationOne is a newcomer (Steven Adams) and two (Fred VanVleet, Brooks) are just entering their second seasons with the Rockets. So there could be some improvement in those roles as well, as the veterans continue to acclimate to a relatively new system under second-year head coach Ime Udoka.
