On this episode of Rockets Daily, David Delano recaps the Rockets’ winless Summer League run, highlighting standout performances from Kennedy Chandler, Adonis Arms, and Chris Ledlum while questioning whether any current rookie will meaningfully impact the 2025 roster. With Reed Sheppard’s readiness for big minutes still in doubt, David debates whether Aaron Holiday or Kennedy Chandler is a better backup to Fred VanVleet and why the team’s guard depth remains their biggest concern. The show explores rumored veteran free agent targets—including Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, and Bradley Beal—asking if the front office should aggressively pursue a proven playmaker or rely on in-house development as expectations rise for a playoff run.
