Each year, NBA general managers respond to 50 questions from NBA.com about the best teams, players, coaches, and offseason moves. Respondents cannot vote for their own team or personnel.
After a busy 2023 offseason, which included hiring Ime Udoka as head coach, drafting Amen Thompson at No. 4 overall in the first round, and signing veteran free agents such as Fred VanVleet, the Houston Rockets received higher marks than previous years.
Here’s a look at the 2023-24 version of the annual GM survey, with information pulled below on questions where the Rockets or a Houston player received votes. Percentages are based on the pool of respondents to that particular question, rather than all 30 GMs.
Because respondents cannot vote for their own team, none of the Houston votes came from Rockets general manager Rafael Stone.
The #Rockets, especially Fred Van Vleet, Dillon Brooks, and Ime Udoka, got a lot of love in the 2023-2024 NBA GM survey. https://t.co/HOqNI2xMpE
