If the Houston Rockets need to add another guard over the offseason, they should look to their baseball neighbors for help.
Donning a James Harden jersey, Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa showed off his range on the basketball court Sunday, much to the delight of teammates and manager A.J. Hinch.

"He's probably good at everything," manager A.J. Hinch said told reporters. "Breaking out the Harden jersey gave him a little bit of an advantage. He enjoys the backboard. I don't think Harden uses the backboard as much as Correa. Very fundamental, but he does a lot of things fundamental."
After winning the American League Rookie of the Year last season, it's likely Correa will stick to baseball, but at least he can claim he's a better shot than Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor.
