Interesting bits:
>Amen, the twin brother of Ausar, had an extremely impressive workout with the Rockets recently. League sources, who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter, say the team is leaning toward selecting Amen Thompson fourth overall in this year’s draft.
>Between his athleticism and playmaking abilities, the Rockets believe Thompson can help unlock that next level of potential this group has. Having the ability to be his team’s primary ball handler and facilitator, Thompson can really thrive as a young star in this league with the Rockets, especially given their need for a difference-maker alongside former second overall pick Jalen Green.
>As for Green’s status with the team, there are no indications suggesting the Rockets having any level of willingness to trade their young scorer, these same league sources confirmed to ClutchPoints. Drafted second overall in 2021, the Rockets envision Green being their lead scorer for many years to come and see no value in trading him at this time, even if they were to pursue an All-Star-level talent in this league.
> “Jalen Green is 21 years old, he’s not up for a rookie extension yet and he’s already proven to have the ability to score at an extremely high rate,” one rival Western Conference executive told ClutchPoints. “Houston has a lot of brilliant minds within their organization and they know just how valuable this kid is to their future.”
