Kevin Huerter

By contrast, Huerter shot 36.1% from long-range last year. That's mediocre. It was also a down year for Huerter.

He's a career 38.2% three-point shooter. In the end, that's only one component of three-point shooting. Defenders respect Huerter.. If he's open from deep, he commands an aggressive closeout.

Huerter is also 6'7". That gives him unique positional size as an off-guard. He's not necessarily a lockdown defender, but he's solid on that end, and he can't be exploited.

It also feels likely that he'll be available. The Kings are looking to extend Malik Monk this season. If the Rockets can orchestrate a cap dump, they should be able to acquire Huerter at a reasonable price.
