Between Kevin Durant, Jabari Smith Jr., and Alperen Sengun, the Houston Rockets will start at least three players who stand 6-foot-10 or taller in height.
They might start a fourth in Steven Adams, which would then shift Amen Thompson — a 6-foot-7 athletic phenom — to point guard.
As Durant sees it, that type of size is a big part of what made Houston an attractive trade destination in the first place.
If he’d still been the starter in Cleveland, it would have been a story last week. Now that Joe Flacco has been traded to the Bengals (and immediately installed as the starting quarterback), it’s a nugget worth highlighting in advance of Thursday night’s game.
Flacco vs. Aaron Rodgers. A pair of quarterbacks on the wrong side of 40. That has happened only three times before.

Ruben Selles lost all six of his games as Sheffield United manager after being appointed in June [Getty Images]
Sheffield United chief executive Stephen Bettis has said the process to sack Chris Wilder and bring in Ruben Selles in the summer was “not correct”.
The club’s American owners COH Sports surprisingly replaced Wilder with the Spaniard in June after they had lost to Sunderland in the Championship play-off final.
