What’s been even more surprising thus far is the Rockets’ stellar long-range shooting, as they’ve made 37 percent from deep- good for ninth-best in the league.

The Rockets didn’t exactly prioritize shooting in the offseason, which many believed would bite them in the rear. The only semblance of shooting that Rockets GM Rafael Stone acquired was Reggie Bullock, who made 38 percent of his triples last season as a starter for the Dallas Mavericks (5.1 attempts).

Bullock is a career 38 percent shooter and figured to be a major shot in the arm for the Rockets, in this regard.
