In 2020, Tate signed his first NBA contract. As a rookie with the Houston Rockets, he made an immediate impression starting over 50 games while averaging over 11.3 ppg and earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team. He hasn’t played a lot of minutes in recent seasons but he is still a valuable member of the team.
Holiday is comfortable handling the ball or ceding playmaking to teammates when needed, allowing flexible backcourt alignments. Even off the bench, he’s known to stay prepared and engaged which makes him part of Houston’s “stay ready” bench identity. Holiday will be needed to give starter Fred VanVleet a breather as he has been effective and efficient as a backup.
Green’s legacy with the Rockets is defined less by numbers and more by impact. He has helped bridge eras in Houston as a veteran presence during rebuilds, experienced leadership during diagnosis phases, and still-consistent production when needed. Many consider him a player-coach on and off the court.
All three players will continue to add depth to an already deep Rockets team.
