Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec 16 at Houston Rockets

Rocket to watch – Chris Paul

While many experts expressed some concern about how Chris Paul would mesh with James Harden when the former Clippers guard was acquired via trade last summer, the pair have surpassed even the loftiest of expectations as to how they could combine.

With Paul in the team, the Rockets are 13-0. As LaVar Ball might put it: Undefeated, never lost.

Paul is enjoying one of the best offensive years of his career to date, posting remarkably efficient numbers across the board.

As if that wasn’t enough, the talent around him on Houston’s roster is allowing the veteran guard to play the lowest minutes total of his career to date too.

Paul is torching teams with all of his ability and offensive know-how, and still being afforded the luxury of sitting for almost 18 minutes a night. That’s a terrifying proposition.
