The 2022-23 Houston Rockets season was a foundational year focused on the development of a promising young core, highlighted by the arrival of third overall pick Jabari Smith Jr. and the continued growth of Jalen Green, who led the team with 22.1 points per game. Under head coach Stephen Silas, the team showcased its resilience and potential by finishing the season on a high note with a three-game winning streak, concluding with a 22-60 record. The campaign was further distinguished by the durable performances of Tari Eason and Kenyon Martin Jr., who both appeared in all 82 games, and the emergence of Alperen Sengun as a versatile double-double threat in the paint. The 2023-24 Houston Rockets enjoyed a transformative season under new head coach Ime Udoka, achieving a 41-41 record and their first non-losing campaign in four years. The team was bolstered by veteran signings Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks, alongside the rapid development of young stars Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green. A highlight of the year was a spectacular 11-game winning streak in March that kept the Rockets in playoff contention until the final week of the season. The second overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and a 2022 All-Rookie First Team selection, Jalen Green is an explosive scoring guard who recorded multiple 40-point games for the Houston Rockets before continuing his career with the Phoenix Suns.
