    Amen, jalen, cam, Jabari, Sengun, tari….people are really underestimating how much talent that is.

      I've been saying the exact same thing. It's conceivably possible that 4 of them are Hall of Fame players.

      I believe majority of them will be HOFers

      Exactly we are running into a problem with too many players lol

      Sengun is the odd man out. Trade him for a first round pick and they'll be contenders in a year

      Yeah and they all do something different. Together that is a TON of defensive and rebounding ability to go with solid shooting and elite playmaking ability. The Rockets could be VERY scary next season and the next. Teams will dread playing such a long, athletic and disruptive team. I could see them holding down at least the 4th seed next season and push into the second round with relative ease, assuming they are healthy and they work hard this offseason to improve their game.
      Keep in mind the average age of their core 6 is like 20.8-21ish years or something insane. Those are extremely formative years for building good habits under the solid tutelage of Ime Odoku, who is looking like a possible coach of the year runner up at least. I see this team absolutely exploding in about 2 years. Good luck to their opposition. They will need it.

    Amen has an incredibly mature mentality for his age. His ability to read situations in-game is uncanny. And his athletic ability is an entirely different asset to his game. He’s 6’7 with a 7’2 wingspan. When he improves his jumper and handling he’s going to be ELITE

    • @juqual78

      Even if he doesn't improve his shot too much but does improve the rest he will be a star and the 3rd option on the Rockets easily. We talk about glue guys but he is like a super glue guy because he does so many things so damn well.

    Nice to see Houston finally giving Amen the run he should have been getting and using him in the way Pistons’ fans have been screaming for Ausar to be used

    I have been following Amen and Ausar since their first year in OTE. I knew their potential and I have been saying it all along. In the off season I guarantee you that they will be working on their long range shooting and they WILL be elite next year. I know their work ethic. The Pistons need to take note of what the Rockets have done with Amen and learn from them. If they play Ausar like the Rockets play Amen then you will also see how great Ausar is.

    He does the dirty work while Jalen does the heavy lifting. The Kobes, Lebrons, Duncans of the world all needed those type guys

    Amen Thompson, Jalen Green, Sengun, will form a big 3 for Rockets in a few years, will be even better than OKC

    • @darnejackson1
      @darnejackson1 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I believe they will destroy the league because don’t forget Cam that’s a super team better than okc harden days

      The whole league is looking incredible with these young teams. There is so much talent on the floor these days. @@professorsolo6484

    Amen is really good for finishing around the rim

  • @LORDTRILLL
    @LORDTRILLL หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Amen is playing the 4. When Fred went out for a long stretch he played the 1. He can literally do everything. Jabari plays the 5 and Landale backs him up

    @kylerinker2671 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The real question is who are they gonna pick long term?? Gotta have Cam be one of them right?

    The schedule has been "soft" but good teams make sure they beat worse teams. Thats the encouraging part of beating the Wizards, Spurs, Blazers and Jazz. Earlier in the year we would have dropped those games.
