Tate was an overseas veteran that came to the NBA in 2020 and has provided nice play for the Rockets, despite them winning very few games over his first three seasons. Tate's minutes have declined each season as the Rockets have added talent through their rebuild, and he started to fall out of the regular rotation in '24-'25, including not playing at all in the playoffs. Tate rebounds well on the offensive end, is a solid multi-positional defender, and overall just makes winning plays on both ends. Tate could improve his outside shot, as he's only a 31.5% three-point shooter, and defenses tend to be fine with leaving him open. He has finished well enough at the rim to make him a fairly efficient offensive player. He's very left-hand dominant, and in general doesn't have a lot of craft in his game. Despite his minutes declining recently, I believe Tate can be a solid role player, but I'm not sure how much more than that he can be. His lack of outside shooting ability could be a problem in the playoffs, as teams may just ignore him, but at worst Tate should be able to provide value in the regular season. Tate will be almost 30 years old as a free agent in 2025, so he's older than most people realize, and isn't hitting free agency at the best time.
