Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka got a chance to see his full rotation in action during preseason. Here's a look at what worked, what needs to be worked on and what limitations this young squad has heading into the regular season.
The Houston Rockets completed their trial run of the 2024-2025 NBA season on Thursday night. They ended on a high note, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 129-107 behind Jalen Green's 30 points.
Green showed in preseason that he is still learning on how to get to his spots playing around Şengün, and when he does, the star guard can be the elite scorer Houston needs to get to the next level.On the other hand, Şengün also tried to find ways to help Green get into the flow of things early on in games. The big man has been working on his long range game in hopes of clearing things up in the paint to allow Green to use his number one gift: his driving ability.
Lesson two: Amen Thompson may be just a forward with great passing ability rather than a true point guard. Thompson's ability to pass the ball is what set him apart from other prospects in the 2023 NBA draft, but it's possible the Rockets may have overestimated his abilities to actually run an NBA offense.“Thinking. You’re now initiating for everybody, as opposed to being off ball and just playing.”It is very early in his career though, so Thompson could eventually learn behind Fred VanVleet on how to initiate the offense.
