After winning the start, he averaged 16+9+5+1 off average! Experts are optimistic about the Rockets new core: he can become an All-Star next season
As the Rockets' No. 4 pick in the draft two years ago, although Amen Thompson does not have the dominance and fame of Vanban Yama, his performance last season is actually not inferior to Vanban Yama. Although the data is slightly inferior to that of Wenban Yama, Amen Thompson has a very high attendance rate, and he is a player with excellent athleticism. He claims to be able to play in five positions by one person, which is much more comprehensive than Wenban Yama who can only play inside. Moreover, Amen Thompson became one of the best defensive team last season, which is also a rare honor.
Although his three-point shooting level is slightly worse and his shooting percentage is less than 30%, Amen Thompson is only 22 years old. He has all the potential to become a superstar, and he has both super strong physical qualities and good talents. Even Amen Thompson's offensive level has been improving. Last season, Amen Thompson's mid-range shooting ability was developed, and his ability to attack the basket was even more amazing. Therefore, Uduka allowed Amen Thompson to frequently serve as the starting power forward for the Rockets, especially after the original starting power forward Jabbarry Smith Jr. was absent for a month due to a broken hand, Amen Thompson made up for the starting position at the right time. So even if Smith Jr. returned from injury, he could not get back to the starting position from Amen.
and even Rockets expert Jed Cates said that after taking over the starting power forward position from Jabarry Smith last season, Amen Thompson's average data was very beautiful, reaching the level of 16 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game. In addition, he can contribute 1.6 blocks per game. Although he was a point guard when he debuted, it is obvious that Amen Thompson is now more suitable for the power forward position.
Amen Thompson will still be the Rockets' starting lineup next season, but he may be more likely to serve as a shooting guard rather than a power forward. After all, Jaylen Green's departure has given the Rockets' backcourt a clear shortcoming. If Amen Thompson can make up for the No. 2 start, the Rockets' overall strength will not decline much.
Jed Cates also believes that Amen Thompson should be the No. 3 player in the Rockets' offensive choice next season. In addition to Durant and Shin Kyung, Amen Thompson can beat Smith Jr. and Van Vreet to become the Rockets' third scoring point. And his defensive ability is top-notch. If the Rockets' record can improve steadily, then the 22-year-old Amen Thompson has a chance to become the All-Star forward in the Western Conference next season. In this case, the Rockets will have the third All-Star player beyond Durant and Shin Kyung.
Notally, the Rockets' Big Three are Shin Kyung, Durant and Van Vreett. In fact, Amen Thompson has become one of the Rockets' best outside players. He has also gradually adapted to the role of being a versatile player, not only to be a forward, but also to be the main point guard when Van Vreet is absent, and assists his teammates in scoring with beautiful passes. Amen Thompson also served as the starting point guard last season, and his performance and statistics are also quite good. As long as the Rockets' record remains stable and as long as Amen Thompson can make stable shooting, he will be the third All-Star of the Rockets next season, with both offense and defense.
