Lou Williams will be the Rockets' 7th man
Houston Rockets shooting guard Lou Williams is the seventh man in the rotation, said head coach Mike D'Antoni.
D'Antoni added that Williams would be helping Eric Gordon, suggesting that he'll be a more active passer than he was in Los Angeles with the Lakers. It sounds like Williams' 30.0 percent usage rate -- and subsequent fantasy output -- will take a hit in Houston, but he could still produce some late-round value as the second man off the bench.
Williams was averaging a career-high 18.6 points to go with 2.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 3-pointers in 24.2 minutes per game this season for the Lakers. His 5.0 nERD for the year currently ranks 25th in the NBA.
