Amen Thompson’s Big Leap | Houston Rockets News

The Houston Rockets just locked down their future with a massive five-year, $208 million extension for Amen Thompson — a 23-year-old guard averaging 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists last season. With veteran superstar Kevin Durant backing him up (and even taking a pay cut to make room), the Rockets are betting big on Thompson as their cornerstone. While his jump shot needs work — he shot just 21.6% from three — new coaching help and Durant’s mentorship could transform his game. If they can polish that shooting and unlock his full potential, this duo could take the Rockets’ offense to new heights.
