15 former Rockets that are still available on the free agent market

9. D.J. Wilson

The Rockets acquired D.J. Wilson in the 2021 trade that sent P.J. Tucker to the Milwaukee Bucks. Wilson was drafted just outside of the lottery in the 2017 NBA Draft. The Bucks never gave Wilson much of an opportunity to display his talents, as he played less than 10 minutes per contest in three of his four years in the Cream City.

In fact, Wilson played 14.8 minutes in 23 games with the Rockets, which isn't alot. But although this wasn't a significant amount of playing time, it was more than the Bucks gave him in his prior two seasons with them. But such is life when a team is in contention-status, as they don't exactly have the time to invest in a prospect-level player.

In Houston, Wilson averaged 6.1 points (a career-best at that point), 3.8 rebounds, 41.6 percent shooting, 33.9 percent from deep, and 69.6 percent from the line (career-best). Wilson briefly played with the Toronto Raptors in 2021-22, but spent the 2022-23 season out of the NBA.

Wilson recently played in the Summer League, in hopes of getting back in the NBA, but wasn't stellar, as he averaged 8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 40 percent from the field, 11.1 percent from deep (2.6 attempts), and 53.8 percent from the free throw line.
