Houston Rockets/C/
SwitzerlandPlayer Info
Clint Capela is a Swiss defensive anchor and elite rim-runner, serving as the starting center for the Houston Rockets and forming a crucial part of their identity. The 6'10" big man from Geneva was drafted 25th overall in 2014 and honed his craft with the Atlanta Hawks before becoming a cornerstone in Houston. Capela's game is the epitome of efficiency: he led the NBA in field goal percentage in 2018 and has consistently been among the league leaders in rebounds and blocks. His chemistry with guards like James Harden and Fred VanVleet on the pick-and-roll is legendary, resulting in countless alley-oop dunks. Capela's honors include being the NBA rebounding champion in 2021 and anchoring top-10 defenses. A relentless worker and consummate professional, he remains one of the most reliable and impactful traditional centers in the game.
