Rockets coach Uduka talked about Durant on the team's media day. He said that Durant will seamlessly integrate into the Rockets' strong defense, while also solving the team's urgent need for key men and stable offensive points.

"I think, most importantly, it represents a constant improvement in our team and expectations. When you have a player like Durant and at some point he can get the ball in his hands, he can do the same thing as he did throughout his career, and we can also maintain all aspects of the team. I think he is a perfect fit for what we are doing and how we grow up with young players. So for all of these reasons, he is obviously a great addition, and he just can solve these problems when we are struggling. " Uduka said.
