As the Houston Rockets prepare to enter the 2025-26 NBA season, one of the most exciting storylines surrounding the team is the continued ascension of young wing Amen Thompson.

While it remains to be seen exactly how the Rockets' rotation will shake out, it is absolutely certain that Thompson's role will continue to increase.
