Player updates: After two weeks of the 2025-26 regular season, it is clear that Jabari Smith Jr. has expanded his offensive game over the offseason. There were rumors that Smith Jr. would benefit from Kevin Durant joining the Rockets. It looks like Durant has taught Smith Jr. some offensive moves that would allow Smith Jr. to play more of a small forward role. The Rockets started the season with Smith Jr. playing SF and Durant at SG, but it didn’t work well on the defensive end. Nevertheless, Smith Jr. at power forward can still display small forward moves on the offensive end that will benefit the Rockets. 11/5/2025
