Even after acquiring Kevin Durant, the Houston Rockets have one of the best young cores in the NBA. CBS Sports recently acknowledged that. They put two Rockets on their list of the top 25 players under 25 in terms of potential in the league.
You can probably guess who they were.
Amen Thompson ranked 8th on the list. Alperen Sengun came in at 10th. This is something Rockets fans should celebrate, but it won’t come without controversy.
Fans of the team can probably guess what the source of that controversy will be as well.
