Houston Rockets fans got to see what Jabari Smith is fully capable of when he put on a show in his first two games of Summer League, averaging over 35 points.
With that in mind, is this a sign of things to come for Smith when the regular season begins this fall?
Plus, the Rockets have some new players to mix in after spending a boatload of money in free agency.
What roles do we expect them to play as the team tries to balance playing time for the young players and veterans?

One of the main areas of improvement for the Texans this season, has been the running game with the addition of Joe Mixon.
Mixon rushed for 100 yards or more in 5 of his first 6 games with the team. But unfortunately for Houston, Mixon hasn't been nearly as effective recently.
When looking at his recent numbers, Mixon has failed to rush for more than 46 yards in 3 of his last 5 games. Posting only 26 rushing yards against Miami on Sunday.
With this in mind, is the state of Houston's run game a major concern, especially when the playoffs begin?
