Clint Capela is a classic rim-running, rebounding center — a Swiss big man who was a double-double machine for the better part of a decade. The 25th pick in 2014, he starred for the Houston Rockets as the lob-catching anchor of their contending teams, averaging double-digit points and rebounds for seven straight seasons before a strong run with the Atlanta Hawks. In 2025-26 he returned to Houston in a reduced backup role, still one of the league's most efficient offensive rebounders per minute. Capela's rim protection, screening and relentless work on the glass have made him a valuable interior presence throughout a long career.

Defensive Game
An elite rim protector and rebounder who consistently ranks among the NBA's best shot-blockers. His positioning, timing, and ability to alter shots without fouling make him invaluable to Houston's defensive identity.
Intangibles
Smart player within a focused role — his understanding of when to roll, when to set screens, and how to position for maximum rebounding impact is excellent.
