Really interested to know what the Rockets expect to get from Amen Thompson on day one. They already have Porter, and it feels like they are going to go after a point guard in free agency, so does that they will take it slow with Thompson? – 8:40 PM

A lot of talent on the Rockets. Thompson/Green is one of the most athletic backcourts ever. Love the way the pieces are starting to fall in place. Still need rim protection though. – 8:40 PM

Amen Thompson yday on which player he watches that reminds him of him: “I think SGA is a player I like to watch. We have similar skill sets and similar size. He doesn’t need to shoot a lot of 3s to do what he needs to do. He knows what his game is just like I feel like I do.” – 8:37 PM

Amen Thompson is the Houston Rockets pick at #4.
Despite a significant shooting weakness that will need to improve, this is a point guard prospect with tremendous to elite potential in just about every other area of the game. There’s a lot to be excited about with this pick. pic.twitter.com/Rb26fx8bAh – 8:32 PM

The Rockets select Amen Thompson at No. 4 overall.
Houston’s young core is now headlined by Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith, and Thompson.
Houston will also have around $70 million in cap space to further build out the roster around their foundation. – 8:32 PM

Brandon Miller = +105

Okay @Utahjazz fans, here’s your choice.
Would you rather have the 5th pick knowing Wemby, Scoot, Brandon Miller, and Amen Thompson are off the board
or…
Taylor Hendricks and the 16th pick. – 5:33 PM

New mock draft up now shifting Scoot Henderson to the Hornets at 2 and Brandon Miller to 3. But could Amen Thompson also be in consideration for the Blazers?

Brandon Miller is a very good NBA prospect. I had him in the same tier as Amen Thompson because his NBA floor is rock-solid and think he’d be a reasonable #2 pick in most other drafts.
I just don’t believe he has the same high-end upside as Thompson. – 12:36 PM
