The Houston Rockets have several notable free agents this summer, with veteran swingman Josh Okogie among them. While Okogie didn’t contribute much as a scorer for Houston last season, his hustle, defense, and durability were valuable. He finished the year averaging 4.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 0.8 steals, and he surpassed expectations from three-point range by hitting 38.5% of his attempts, a career high. Because of that solid outside shooting, the Rockets could face competition to keep him. The Stein Line reports that the Indiana Pacers are keeping an eye on Okogie as a free-agent option to bolster Tyrese Haliburton in their backcourt. If Okogie leaves, his absence would be felt by Houston, particularly given his impact relative to his minimum contract.
