Average of 14+8+3! The Rockets 22-year-old star is too comprehensive. Experts expect: He will hit important awards next season

The most eye-catching player of the Rockets next season is naturally the 37-year-old veteran Durant, who is also one of the best superstars in the league. He is older, but it does not affect Durant's performance on both offense and defense. Durant, who averaged 26 points per game last season, is exactly what the Rockets need. He can provide sufficient scoring support for Houston's tactical system. Of course, Durant's age and injury will definitely affect his performance in the regular season, but the Rockets do not expect Durant to play at the MVP level in the regular season. What they need is Durant standing up and scoring in a head-on game like the playoffs.

The Rockets have no choice but to say about the defense, and there are basically no shortcomings: Capela, Adams and Smith Jr. in the interior; Ethan, Finney Smith, and Tate in the front; and defensive experts like Holiday and Van Vreet in the back. What the Rockets really need to pay attention to is their supernova Amen Thompson. Amen Thompson, who claims to be able to play 5 positions by one, can play anywhere on the Rockets next season. Wherever Uduka needs him, Amen Thompson will take over, just like the previous two years. When he first came to the Rockets, Amen was the point guard, and then even played as a power forward, a small forward, and even a center in a small lineup.

Next season, Amen may be the main shooting guard more often, replacing Jaylen Green, who has left the team. Amen Thompson's performance and data last season were also relatively comprehensive and beautiful. Amen Thompson averaged 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.4 steals per game in the regular season. He was even selected for the best defensive team with his strong defense. It can be said that last season, Shin Kyung of the Rockets was an All-Star center, while Amen was defending for a first time, and these two honors were comparable.

Apart from Van Vreet, Durant and Shinkyung, Amen Thompson is obviously the fourth core of the Rockets, and he can even get better next season. NBA expert Jed Katz also posted a message pointing out that the Rockets need to pay attention to the most next season is this 22-year-old guy Amen Thompson, because he was an important contributor to the Rockets' 52 wins and 30 losses last season, and is also the team's second key figure in becoming the West. Although Amen still needs to improve his three-pointer, he will be one of the most comprehensive and athletic players in the league next season.

The Rockets have now determined that Durant will be the first choice on the offensive end. Amen Thompson will obviously have more tasks next season. Even this expert believes that this Rockets' all-rounder will be one of the contenders of the most advanced players next season's NBA award - one of the contenders of the fastest-progressing players. After all, Amen Thompson is only 22 years old now and has been improving since last season. Although the rookie season is ups and downs, because the injury has affected his form, Amen Thompson, who has rarely missed last season, can help the Rockets on both offense and defense, which is also a reflection of his ability. Next season, Amen Thompson will usher in his third NBA season, and he has every chance to become one of the best contenders of the NBA's fastest-progressing players of the year with a huge improvement rate.
