As the Houston Rockets brought in Kevin Durant this offseason, it has been widely expected that the rotation, and especially the team's young core, will conform around him and the touches that he will demand.
Therefore, as dynamic young wing Amen Thompson will likely move to shooting guard this season in order for him to stay in the starting lineup, he could suddenly earn the surprising crown of being the best guard in his (stacked) draft class.
While Thompson went fourth overall in a draft that was headlined by Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller, the class's guards have largely not yet panned out as stars, and Thompson's positional shift could suddenly place him atop a unique leaderboard.
