Former Rockets Fan-Favorite Clears the Air on Tumultuous Rockets' Exit

At the end of the 2019-20 NBA season, the Rockets found themselves in a bit of a quandary. The Rockets needed to get younger. The front office acquired a second-round draft pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and used it on Kenyon Martin Jr., who was viewed as a project, although he was very athletic. Martin dazzled out the gates, averaging 9.3 points 5.4 rebounds, and nearly two stocks per contest, while shooting 50.9 percent from the field, 36.5 percent from deep.
