Finney-Smith began the season in Brooklyn, where he was a prominent part of the offense and defense, playing 29.0 minutes per contest. A mid-season trade to the Lakers didn't impact his workload much, but his overall production and usage dipped. Altogether, he averaged 8.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes while shooting a career-high 41.1 percent from long range in 63 regular-season appearances. Although the Lakers had interest in his return, the Rockets acted quickly in free agency, securing him to a four-year, $53 million contract. While this undoubtedly bolsters Houston's frontcourt, it's not a great move for Finney-Smith's fantasy appeal. The Rockets just acquired Kevin Durant from the Suns, and they have a plethora of exciting young forwards in Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith and Tari Eason. They aren't exactly built to play small either, as the team has a center rotation of Alperen Sengun, Clint Capela and Steven Adams. There's no question that Finney-Smith will have a role, but it's hard to imagine him getting a large enough piece of the offensive pie to impact standard leagues consistently. Finney-Smith underwent surgery on his left ankle in mid-June. He was initially expected to be ready for training camp, but the veteran sat out preseason action and is now unlikely to make his Houston debut on Opening Night.
