The Rockets are Building Something TERRIFYING...

The Houston Rockets are an extremely exciting young team with a ton of potential led by Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, Cam Whitmore, Reed Sheppard, Jabari Smith Jr, and more. They nearly managed to sneak past the Golden State Warriors and into the play in tournament last season, but fell just short. This year, the Rockets seem poised to make a push at a playoff spot and feel like they're just one big trade away from reclaiming a spot towards the top of the NBA's western conference. Let's talk about it.

I used these Rockets in 2K, and honestly, our bench scarier than our starters. I had Amen at PG, Reed at SG, Cam at SF, Adams at the 5 and Eason at pf and was destroying fools. Reed was a damn sniper.

I'm challenging @ThreeCone to make a "Top 10 Jalen's in the NBA" video. I think its a fun and interesting idea.

[rubenpita]

I'm looking forward to watch these trio playing together with the 2nd unit.

PG - Sheppard
SG - Whitmore
SF - Amen Thompson

I expect that to be showtime!!! and Houston 2nd unit will be the best in the NBA.

ime is the key, he’s gonna get this squad into shape and if they don’t shape up they’ll get moved simple as that

[badmontad]

Im a huge rockets fan and honestly the front office has such a difficult job ahead. There are so many different directions to go and every single one has a potential to end up being a disaster. My opinion is we should trade jalen green this season whether he stuggles or plays okay, unless he becomes as good as someone like donovan mitchell. I have more faith in all our other young players becoming winning players. My prayer is Amen hits as superstar by year 3 or 4 but its not guaranteed especially if he never develops a mid range shot or floater

[RobCortez]

Great video. I'm with you on Green. I've seen too many flashes not to have hope he turns out to be great.

My biggest hope is the team keeps as much of the core together as possible.

[LwandleDlamini_]

The thompson twins have everything you ask for in a player, their jumpers will come along

[basketballblablabla]

Its interesting to see what they will sign Jalen/Sengun to as they are on contract negotiation time. If they give both maxes, this team wont be a title team, but if they manage to convince them to take less they can really build something. They are at a big crossroads and they are open to trading everyone as well as keeping everyone. Very interesting team

[bobbyohalterego]

And I still contest that if Jabari Smith realizes his full potential. He could Low key, still emerge as their best player.
Tools wise, his skills are like that imo.

[emilfrederiksen.]

I am still not sold on Jalen Green i think its wise for Huston to wait on extending him.

[josegarcia-xdlt]

Our biggest pickup last year was udoka 🙏🙏

[eazymb.]

Jalen Green is over hated. Some of yall read Reddit and Twitter too much.

[shxtevoYT]

By swapping for those brooklyn picks for phoenix picks it also allows them to kick the can down the road so to speak and concentrate on developing and salary cap on current talent, whilst ensuring a future of consistent high draft picks

[vibechecktsundere]

People forget that Jalen Green regressed in the last week or two in the season. It’s much easier to believe he had an unsustainable hot streak that cooled down significantly than him figuring things out. He still is a poor defender and playmaker. I don’t get the hype. I could be wrong, absolutely. But I don’t think a 2 week stretch sells me more than 3 whole seasons of awful play with very marginal improvement.

[Jecko]

cam whitmore and sengun are so fun to watch

[RodSanchez-fibq]

Jalen Green is a good player but he needs to be consistent.

[bobbyohalterego]

Houston has the talent at every position to be deadly. It's just a matter of it jelling all together.
And it looks like they're track.

[jalenjohnson]

As a rockets fan this team can take a huge jump but it really comes down to Jalen Green and Sengun those two are the key weather we can be a playoff team.

Can Sengun up his game and be a top 40 player in the league can Jalen be consistent

It’s make it or break for them because we have a lot of picks we could use to get a star level player and Jalen and Sengun might not be a part of our future if they don’t produce

[azmadkazzy]

JG has to be engaged defensively & able to be effective off-ball, when the offense isn’t running thru him. He’s been a completely different player when Shengun is the focal point.

[hsramm]

Yup. This team is nuts and it's only going to get better as they get more experience.
