Golden State Warriors v Houston Rockets - Game Seven

The Houston Rockets romped to a 65-17 record largely on the strength of their premier backcourt duo of Chris Paul and James Harden. But we would be amiss to ignore the contributions of this 6'11" Swissman, who's able to provide them vertical spacing in a manner that few other players in the world can guard.

The Rockets' 4-wings-and-a-Capela (pardon me for the pun) mantra served them quite nicely in the playoffs as well. While Capela's role was reduced in the Conference Finals against the Warriors, he was able to switch onto the likes of Curry and Thompson and guard them as well as one could expect of a big man.

The Swissman produced a noteworthy breakout season, and the Rockets might have to match max offers in order to keep him at H-Town, given that the Dallas Mavericks, among others, are said to be hot on his trail.
