  1. I liked what Cam Whitmore did on 2nd game, he actually fixed many complaints we were talking about. His trainer wasn’t joking when he said they gonna study the film so he can cater to what team wants.

  2. Brooks needs to stop the cap. He picked Houston because Houston offer him the most money and a starting spot

  3. I am soooo hyped for this rockets team. I‘m not even from houston and choose to be a fan since Howard got traded here. I lived through the highs and lows the last few seasons and was always eager to see our prospects perform. But this year it feels special, we really got something good here. Lets go rockets 🚀🚀

  4. Great stuff Jackson, thanks for the coverage. As summer league wraps up and you’re looking for content ideas consider reaching out to Zac Blackerby from Locked on Auburn who could provide a great bit of insight on how we’re beginning to see Jabari’s skill set from Auburn translate to the NBA level. Justin Ferguson from the Auburn Observer is also extremely basketball savvy and provided excellent coverage of Jabari’s time at Auburn.

  5. I think the highest ceiling of any player on our team is Jabari Smith and then Alperan Sengun. I'd like us to work through those guys more often as the season goes along. Scale back Jalen Greens role unless he is just hitting on another level this season.

  6. Bari looks so much more comfortable putting the ball on the floor and he’s reading and attacking close outs very well. After his rookie season those were two of the biggest concern for me with him and the areas I thought he needed to improve most. His ball handling has gotten much better and if he can get his 3 pt percentage to around 40 he may be the best player on the team, by far.

  7. this will be a fun team to watch next season! Hopefully we can get to the playoffs

  8. 9:41 If JB had Kyrie handles that would be insane to watch of course with my imagination I can see it though it looks hilarious at 7ft😅😅
