The shooting guard averaged 6.4 points in 18 games with the Rockets last season, but he played very well in the playoffs. He averaged 10.7 points in Houston's first-round series against Oklahoma City and defended Kevin Durant well.
With Howard in the fold, the Rockets need shooters to space the floor for their big man and Garcia will do just that. He shot 38.6 percent from beyond the arc with Houston in the regular season and 45.9 percent in the postseason.
