Rockets are very impressive ngl! Sengun has turned from a fan favorite to legit talent very fast. With the oddest body build in the NBA tbh.
Alperen Sengun is 21 years old and already looks like a legit star at center. Jalen Green is 21. Jabari Smith Jr. is 20 and he reminds of a young Chris Bosh. The interesting part is they can still improve with more young talent. Amen Thompson is 20 years old and sprained his ankle over a week ago but he'll eventually return in a few weeks. They sent 19-year-old Cam Whitmore down to the NBA D-League to get some minutes on the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. That kid will be something fun to watch at some point.
All the Houston Rockets needed was some veteran leadership. They're getting it from Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks.
I think they can make the playoffs this year. They're going to take somebody's playoff spot. Maybe the Lakers. LOL.
The Rockets also got some flexibility to make a big trade at the NBA trade deadline this year using Victor Oladipo's contract plus future draft picks. They still have the Brooklyn Nets' unprotected first-round picks in 2024 and 2026 from the James Harden trade.
They can really send a statement if they beat the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets on Sunday for six wins in a row.
