The Rockets' 3-point shooting has not improved this season, but it isn't their biggest issue on offense.
Coming into the 2024-25 season, one area was mentioned more than any other when it came to the Houston Rockets' offense: 3-point shooting. In the last few seasons, the Rockets have been one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the NBA.
After six games in the new season, Houston's 3-point shooting remains unchanged from last season. They currently rank 22nd in 3-point shooting, the same position they finished last season in. However, the Rockets are performing well in other areas, ranking in the top-10 for opponent scoring and the top five in rebounding, while their scoring offense is in the middle of the pack.
One player, Cam Whitmore, is only playing 11 minutes a game, and Steven Adams has only played in one game the entire season. To give you an idea of how bad the Rockets' two-point shooting is, compare it to last season. This season, the Rockets have eight players below that mark. A lot has been made of Alperen Sengun's struggles on offense. Yes, he is shooting career lows across the board and has to get on track for the Rockets offense to improve, but it isn't just Sengun.
