26-year old shooting guard Courtney Lee is one of the better backup shooting guards in the NBA. He has played in 14 games (2 starts) for the Rockets so far this year and he is averaging 24.3 minutes, 9.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Lee also gets some P.T. at small forward as he moves around the court and fills whatever role the Rockets need him to play.

30-year old center Samuel Dalembert has really stepped up lately for the Rockets. In his last 8 games, Dalembert is averaging 13.1 points, 12.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 2.5 blocked shots per game. The Rockets have gotten hot right along with the big man. Dalembert has now played in 18 games (11 starts) so far this year for the Rockets and he is averaging 8.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 2.0 blocked shots per game. He has been very efficient shooting the ball so far this year as he is nailing 55.6% of his shots from the floor and 91.2% of his shots from the free throw line.

25-year old point guard Goran Dragic has fit in really well as the starter replacing the injured Kyle Lowry. In his last two games (both starts), Dragic is averaging 37 minutes, 15.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Dragic has now played in 8 games (2 starts) overall this year for the Rockets and he is averaging 19.8 minutes, 8.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game so far this year. Dragic will return to the bench when Kyle Lowry returns to action, but he showed that he’s a more than capable replacement if needed.

25-year old point guard Kyle Lowry has been the engine of the offense for the Houston Rockets so far this year. He has played in 6 games (all starts) for the Rockets so far this year and he is averaging 32.7 minutes, 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 10.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game. Not too many point guards can fill up the stat sheet like Lowry can. That is because he plays hard on both ends of the basketball court and he isn’t shy about getting into the paint when he has to, as he is an outstanding rebounder for a player his size. The Rockets need Lowry to keep up the good work.
