The perimeter shooting is still a question for the Rockets as well as the defense. They can use a player like Robert Covington, who can support both the departments. According to the report by Kelly Iko of The Athletic, Rockets have their eyes on Robert Covington.
Covington can knock the three-ball down, and thus clearing more floor space for the Rockets' two stars. He can act as a defensive wall on the perimeter and give the Rockets the required push for picking up the championship.
