The Houston Rockets Are CREATING A MONSTER

The Houston Rockets Are CREATING A MONSTER

How many players in the NBA can do this with tonight step to the face actually here’s a better question how many point guards can do this crossover and D for a Thompson we all know who the top three picks in last year’s draft were they were pretty much

The only picks people covered and two of those three guys look really good but you know who else looks really good the number four overall pick because what amen Thompson can do on a basketball court is not normal that includes players like this where he blocks Kevin Durant’s jumper from behind before then

Leaking out and throwing it down or how about this break neck speed in transition where he just attacks kisso with a little In-N-Out dribble before then throwing it down hold up let’s just watch that back in full speed yes he’s that quick and the stats are starting to

Match up with the eye test because over his last six games a man is averaging 16 points eight boards and two assists to go along with a block and a steel all the whilst being a plus 88 in those six games and this is included some monster performances including one against the

Wizards yes the Wizards just look at him on this play run a pick and roll with Fred Van Fleet and once he gets the ball in the pocket his creativity just takes over as he steps around kiss bird and then throws a wild reverse layup off the

Backboard or how about this play in the pick and roll where a man sets the screen gets to the middle of the floor and is able to hang and finish now I want you guys to watch that play again but look at it from this angle yes in

Midair a man was able to fake out the defender on the roll to the basket he can also mix in this finesse and creativity with an ability to just do this and play Pocket that is a point guard or a point forward whatever you want to call it throwing down a

Two-handed dunk with his head damn near at the rim on a pick and roll and that play right there in fact any of the plays I just showed you is the reason prior to his first game in the NBA an NBA Scout said this you put a man on the

Floor and he might be the best athlete great passing and playing in transition he rebounds he defends and nothing he said was wrong because he can do everything on the floor and this play right here encapsulates all of that watch here as Christy goes for the

Fadeaway a man Skies over the top of wood to grab the board he then brings the ball up slows his dribble down before then attacking DLo drawing the help Defender and then having the ability to hang before wrapping the pass around to Whitmore and that’s the most

Intriguing part of a man’s game just how great can his playmaking be because his ability to put pressure on the rim paired with high IQ and just really good passing instincts makes for such interesting upside just look at this play where he run runs the give and go

With bulock he then uses his straight line speed to get on the outside of purdle which causes the defense to collapse and he’s so athletic that he can leave his feet and decide what he wants to do whilst levitating in midair or how about another two-way play where

This time he comes from behind to block Shay’s shot at The Rim grabbing the ball pushing the pace before finding Whitmore in transition for the bucket this is one thing you’ll notice very quickly when watching Thompson he’s going to give you even more energy on defense than he does

On offense e odok even said this about him I coached somebody Ben Simmons who had similar traits as far as size and ability to push the pace and find guys and finish there are some similarities there now I know Ben Simmons’s reputation is about as low as humanly

Possible right now but let’s not forget he was a three-time Allstar before he turned 24 if we are just talking about Talent being compared to Ben Simmons is huge because everything we’ve seen and heard about amen suggests he has the right mentality to turn that Talent into consistent production on both ends of

The floor and defensively he’s already doing exactly that because look here against hurden where he’s on an island 40 ft from the basket hi gets a little step on him but a man is able to recover before blocking his shot and just look at the genius from him here to tap the

Ball off hle whilst he’s falling out of bounds or this play which is just insane he’s one-on-one against Jaylen Williams Williams creates some initial separation with a burst of speed and even with Williams adjusting in midair on the shot a man also adjusts hanging and then

Swiping down to get the block now these are the kind of plays that will show up on the highlight reels but it’s his defensive IQ that is scarily good just like here where he’s guarding d out top who gives it to a Lin in the post and a

Man recognizes Clarks in his cutting back door so he turns and is able to then block Clarkson’s shot at The Rim or how about on this play where he’s forced to switch onto naith with seim setting the screen before Turner sets another screen which amends s side steps before

Blocking the three-point shot it’s rare where a player with so much talent and athleticism also has the IQ and work ethic to stay consistently locked in on defense at such a young age and let’s get one thing straight he’s going to make a lot of all defensive teams in his

Career and everyone wants to talk about his shooting and if he’ll be able to develop a jump shot now don’t get me wrong that would be nice but I’m more focused on just how good he can be attacking the rim because there are plenty of guys in the league that aren’t

Great Shooters who can simply score because they’re so impossible to stop going downhill and Men isn’t there yet but there are flashes because of him being an elite finisher at The Rim just look at him on this play where he gets the hand off from Jeff Green and I can’t

Even comprehend what he does on that first move before then hitting a filthy Euro and casually laying it in he has this freakish ability to go from bringing the ball below his knees to then rising up for a layup or a dunk and this is what separates great athletes from just extraterrestrial level

Athletes like a men they can reach Peak speed or Peak Force quicker than anyone else and as you’d expect that makes them incredibly difficult to defend the next step for him is consistently making plays like this where Jeff Green sets the screen out top a man crosses right

And with Smith doing a good job to hang with him he uses his body to create separation before laying it in generally he’s going to be too quick for most Defenders but also having the ability to finish through contact using his 6’6 athletic frame or even just draw contact

Could be the difference between him being an okay scorer and potentially a really dangerous one there are also other ways to impact the game as a scorer when you can’t shoot or don’t have the ball in your hands think of a guy like Aaron Gordon who really thrives

In that dunker spot and despite not being nearly as big as a a man has shown the ability to consistently find space in the dunker spot and he has that Zion likee quick bounce with the second he receives that pass it doesn’t matter where he’s facing he can throw it down

In any direction whatever he might currently lack in shooting touch he also makes up for with High basketball IQ and an ability to pop up in the right spot at the right time like on this play where he sees green getting into his pull-up jumper so he comes from Baseline

To crash the board adjusting in midair and putting it back in if Victor wanyama wasn’t drafted this year we would probably be looking at the most unique player in this year’s draft and the potential he has is just scarily high now if you did make it all the way to
