The Houston Rockets see a lot of potential in their graduating rookie class
Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill and Jermaine Taylor all have a lot of potential to produce for the Rockets down the road. 22-year old forward Jordan Hill has the highest upside of this trio of player. Hill played in 23 games (0 starts) for the Rockets after the trade from the Knicks and he averaged 16.2 minutes, 6.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Hill played in 47 games (0 starts) overall last season for the Knicks & Rockets in which he averaged 13.3 minutes, 5.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. He could be a starter soon for the Rockets. 21-year old SG/SF Chase Budinger brought instant offense off the bench for the Rockets this year which is probably his best role moving forward. Budinger played in 74 games (4 starts) for the Rockets this season and he averaged 20.1 minutes, 8.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. 23-year old shooting guard Jermaine Taylor could also force himself into the playing rotation for the Rockets next year. He played in 31 games (4 starts) for the Rockets this season and he averaged 9.8 minutes, 4.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.
