Clint Capela has emerged into one of the NBA's best big men since the arrival of Mike D'Antoni.

When D'Antoni was hired by the Rockets, he pulled Capela aside at training camp and outlined his vision for him.

"This is what you’re going to do for us,” D’Antoni told Capela. “Protect the rim, run the floor, set a pick, roll to the basket—oh, it didn’t work—go back, set another pick and do it over again. I’m going to yell at you, but if we win a championship, you’ll be the reason, and if we lose, it’s not your fault. We’ll still probably give you $80 million.”

Capela will be a restricted free agent this offseason and figures to receive a contract in excess of $80 million.
