Josh Christopher's 22 points and Anthony Lamb's 17 helped the Rockets knock off the Magic in summer league action on Sunday night. This particular game was a bit of a snooze-fest as might have been expected with Jalen Green sitting out with a hamstring injury. Still, in totality, there were many takeaways from NBA summer league for the Rockets, who wrap up play at 4 p.m. Tuesday against Portland.
Chief among them is that general manager Rafael Stone has a serious eye for talent. While his predecessor, Daryl Morey, quickly developed a reputation early in his career for extracting maximum value out of transactions, Stone's hallmark might end up being traditional scouting.
