Houston on the way up, they have a nice young core and soon after Vanvleet isn’t around they can unleash Mr Amen as a Point Forward
This should be a good one, where do we think Houston ends up this year??
Wanna be a part of the discord
Sheppard has good handles and can shoot, he will find a place in the league.
I love the Rockets young core…
I love Amen's game, and think he can be the best player on a championship team. He can do it all at ana elite level (in the future) but shoot the ball, where he showed improvement in shooting mechanics and with his willing to shoot. Let's just imagine a 6'7 Ben Simmons, but more athletic, and willing to at least try and improve his shooting…
I think they should focus on:
PG: Amen (for what I said)
SG: Jalen Green (Because of the run he had last season where he showed everyone how good of a scorer he can be)
SF: Find someone who can shoot, defend, and play with the other guys (Sorry Cam Whitmore, you fell with the last point😅)
PF: Jabari (Just needs to keep working on Shooting, Defense and he will be great. Maybe add a bit of shoot creation of the close outs)
C: Sengun (Baby Jokic)
Reed Sheppard should develop into a great 6th man (can score, playmake, and play next to Amen/Jalen Green).
Eason is a great forward of the Bench, and Whitmore showed Flashes in summer league of playing well with Reed so they will be a deadly bench duo…
I think rockets will make the playoffs this year , and i think amen is the most valuable piece on the team that they should build around, especially if his shot improves
I can’t wait to see what this team becomes. There’s so much promise and so many cool young profiles. I want them to make a push for more wins but I hope they don’t go too crazy, too soon. There could be a dynasty in waiting here.
Lots of gifted players whose time hasn't come yet. They have enough assets to trade almist any all star player. Especially from the Suns) heard their gm even called the Suns' front office this summer.
I'm not sure about matching all their talents and can't forget how Rockers' game improved after Sengun's injury last season ( 9 or 10 game winning streak). Maybe bringing classic athletic rim protector could fit them more? Sengun's def rating is lower than the team's one. He can't shoot 3s. Don't you think we a talking about new Sabonis- very good but also a very specufic franchise? What about a trade:
Sengun to NOP
Ingram to Cleveland
Mobley (or Allen?) to Houston
Picks,feelers – it's a technical question.
Sounds crazy.
The rockets at 11 i can see it however i have them at 9th in the west. For one i was predicting teams like the lakers and clippers to have a unhealthy season. But also the rockets are stupid loaded with guys that have potential that needs to be unlocked in aspects of their games. They have Steven Adams coming in who was injured last yr however when hes been on the court hes just a bruiser who can be a solid big. Hopefully he dosent regress due to injury but should be nice backup. I think the rockets could be a deadline team as well that might be active. They got those expiring/non guaranteed deals of landale, green, tate. Maybe they use vanvleet 43 mil deal in a trade since hes got a team option after this yr, hes 30, Maybe give amen thompson the spot at starting pg but i can see maybe they keep him. Maybe theirs a wing or a star that can shoot that becomes available they go after (especially with those suns picks they acquired).
That norman powell deal u made was interesting, getting another shooter that can impact rn. Ofc would take away reed sheppards chances however powells only got 2 yrs and reed can earn his minutes if he hasnt proven too much early on
Rockets Fan here love the insight and I feel that Jalen Green is turning a corner if we have to choose between him and Sengun tho it’s Sengun all the way you mention Tate and Eason being in similar convos I frankly just don’t see it
Jaesean Tate may not have much NBA experience but due to his full four years at Ohio State then time with the Sydney Kings he’s 29 next month 6’4 great finisher at the rim some playmaking some shake to his game he could help take pressure off starts like Giannis and or KD and Booker Lakers could use a guy like him for AD or Bron
But Tari has starting SF potential as a 23yr old Glove on defense and as a ball player just another level to Jaesean Tate I don’t think Tari ends up any less impactful than Jabari in their primes
tell me why Cam Whitmore isn't taller Jaylen Brown who shoots better
I’d put my Rockets 6 out west not fw the elderly Lakers or Suns we running laps around them hopefully I like the idea of adding a shooter tho just not to take away Jalen’s role as a SG I want a shooting forward hopefully not at the expense of DB I somebody to really hoist up them 3s in a bind but I like the idea of Tari and DB as a lethal defensive duo off the bench even if we don’t make many changes Jalen Green was impeccable at beating the shot clock buzzer from Deep,Tari tho
injured a lot improved from 3 took more of em and played the spot up role with more potential than I would have thought him to have
Rockets Future for me I’d like to see
