1. Boban Marjanovic

Why would Marjanovic be back? No, no - don't do that. Here's an alternative question:

Why wouldn't Marjanovic be back?

Is he going to play a major role for this team on the floor? No. Marjanovic hasn't been part of a serious NBA rotation in quite some time. That's not the point here at all.

Every team needs a 14th man. Why not employ the most fun man in the NBA? Marjanovic has clearly developed relationships with some of the Rockets' young guys. Keeping him on the roster is an investment in this team's chemistry.

Besides - who else is going to defend inbound passes with one possession left on the clock?
