The Houston Rockets GOT NEXT…
The Houston Rockets are set up to run the NBA in a couple of years everybody talks about the Oklahoma City Thunder as the next great Dynasty this Rockets team has it going they’re number six in defensive rating right now while P while primarily having a really young team e
OD DOA has these boys coached up and they just added stepen Adams for next year who was a part of multiple number one defensive rated teams in Memphis as well as controlling the glass like no other they have two young superstars yes I’m calling Whitmore Superstar just wait
Till we break down the numbers on him and then Al singon of course um Jaylen green and Fred Van vet the verdict is still out on them we are uh I’m not sure if these guys are going to make it in Houston we’ll talk about both of them in
Detail though as well and then just so many young guys here Jabar SMU Yari een am man Thompson and cam Whitmore all 22 years of age or younger and that doesn’t even include Al singun or Jaylen green so a lot of stuff to talk about if we’re talking Houston basketball because
They’re the next big thing in my opinion and it starts with baby joic Alin singon yes baby joic 21.6 points per game 9.3 rebounds 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game this year absolutely stuffing the stat sheet now stick around because in a second we’re going to compare him to
Nicole joic in his third year but 54% shooting from the field pretty good he’s honestly not even that far behind joic this year when you look at everything all the efficiency he’s the franchise player without a doubt he’s going to be the guy going forward that Houston fans are
Extremely excited about now looking at jokic’s third year he averaged 18.5 points per game singon average more 10.7 rebounds about the same there 6.2 assists about the same there better efficiency from the field much worse from three though so I mean somewhat similar between the two
Guys there and I think that shingun is just going to continue to get better and better continue to thrive in this rocket system now the Rockets had a really really good draft amen Thompson was the number four overall pick or number five overall pick excuse me and then cam
Whitmore fell all the way down to 20 no a men was four cam Whitmore was supposed to be the fifth pick fell all the way to 20 12 points per game 3.5 rebounds in 17 minutes a game for Whitmore now this year the thing I wanted to look at 0
Five assist per game we have another Michael Porter Jr on our hands ladies and gentlemen but he’s shooting at 48% from the field 40% from three 4.3 attempts and he’s 19 years old this dude is going going to be trouble he was a top five projected pick for a reason and
He fell all the way down the draft board per 36 numbers he leads the team in points per game 7.7 rebounds 1.4 steals 48% shooting from the field and 40% from three cam Whitmore is an absolute monster and then am man Thompson he averaged about 7.2 points per game so
Far this season 5.1 rebounds 2.4 assist and one steel you know a long athletic Defender that can really help a team out in the long run and they got that here in Houston he’s he may never be elite on the offensive side of the ball but defensively he’s going to be a monster
He can facilitate he can rebound and he can score in transition 50% from the field in 18 minutes per game you look at his per 36 numbers like we said just stuff in the stat sheet 14 10 five and two I mean come on now am in Thompson is
A monster or he will be a monster not quite yet he’s not even their best rookie but I think he’s going to be really good at the end of the day as a two-way point guard uh that can slash really well now let’s take a look at
Some more of this youth here imodoka like we said I’ve made this point before he coached the killer Jays in Boston and I think tar e Jamari Smith Jr cam Whitmore two of those three guys are going to end up being the Western Conference version of that we got the
Older version of that with Kawai but the younger version will be this jbari Smith Jr 13.8 points per game 8.3 rebounds 1.4 assist in 31 minutes per game he is trending upwards 47% from the field 37 % from three on 4.5 attempts in 31 minutes
A game and as you will see right here he is up seven percentage points or or six percentage points on both his field goal percentage and his three-point percentage really good stuff also up about a point per game and a rebound per game great stuff to see there from Jabar
Smith Jr uh making me look not quite as bad for having having him as my number one overall Prospect ahead of Paulo banero and then you got tar een who brings the clamps of this Duo tar is mainly a cutter um and finisher around the rim some a lot of times in
Transition sometimes he knocks down the three ball offensively he’s not really a guy that creates for himself but he’s still averaging 10 points about seven rebounds and some good stats on the defensive side of the ball 36% from three on 2.3 attempts per game 47% from
The field overall in 23 minutes so they got a lot of young wings that are only getting you know 15 to 25 minutes a game they should have freed up some minutes at the deadline real quick if you are enjoying today’s video make sure to the like button leave me a comment down

Continue on looking at a couple of disappointments for the Rockets this season the first being probably Jaylen green who’s averaging 18.3 points per game solid 4.9 rebounds better than normal uh 3.4 assist in 31 minutes per game now might be asking where why he’s not been that bad you know yes he
Averaged 22 a game last year but he’s not been that terrible well there you go 42% from the field 32% from three on 6.6 attempts it’s his third season in the league and he has yet to improve his efficiency whatsoever over his last 10 games he’s been playing a little bit
Better 24 points a game six rebounds four assists on 48% shooting from the field so maybe he can continue to step it up but I mean at one point on prospects it was just the under own Jaylen green was smashing every single night Fred Van vet hasn’t necessarily
Been a disappointment he’s been a nice part to this young team you know giving them a veteran point guard that can come in and help facilitate 16 and a half points per game 8.2 assists 3.7 rebounds a steal and a block Fred Van has no business getting a block per game the
Dude is like 5 foot1 41% from the field 37% from three on about 8 attempts per game um in 36 minutes he’s definitely not their franchise point guard by any stretch of the imagination he’s got two years left on his deal and he’s essentially here to facilitate and make
This young core better and better kind of you know enhancing or speeding up the development of these young guys now I’m going back to my comment earlier about how it was a Wings League how it currently is a Wings league and eeme Oka is loading up Jabar Smith Jr cam
Whitmore tar een um Dylan Brooks and even uh Jeff Green old man Jeff Green uh you also have Jaylen green all six of those guys are wings it is a Wings league and the rockets have a ton of them 14 points per game 3.3 rebounds 1.6 assists and one steal for Dylan Brooks
He’s been really solid 45% shooting from the field 39% from three on five attempts for the 28y old he’s actually been a really good signing in the off season um and like I said this is the reason I think the Rockets are up next because you have so many wings you have
A solid point guard in either Fred Van vet or man Thompson that probably needs to be upgraded and then you have a great Center and shingun and you got guys off the bench uh like stepen Adams who they just acquired at the deadline 8.6 points per game 11 and a half rebounds one
Block one Steel in 27 minutes in his most recent tenure in um Memphis so I think I mean the Rockets have everything they need they’re going to need a different point guard if a Min cannot figure it out on the offensive side of the ball because fite I don’t think will
Cut it as a backup he’d be great um hopefully A Min can develop on the offensive side of the ball but I think the Rockets have all the tools to be the next great NBA Dynasty but that being said that’s going to be it for today’s video thanks so much for watching make
