The Houston Rockets are a team to watch in the 2023 NBA Summer League
The Houston Rockets have an exciting young team. They have multiple lottery picks playing on their roster this off-season.
Amen Thompson, the No. 4 pick in the 2023 draft, will be the headline star for Houston. He will showcase his playmaking abilities and try to earn his starting spot in the regular season rotation.
His draft class teammate Cam Whitmore is also on the roster. Whitmore will be a name to watch. Many believed he had the talent to be drafted in the top five but he fell down the boards to Houston at 20. He will be looking to prove people wrong in Vegas.
Jabari Smith was the third overall pick in 2022. He will be a name to watch on this team in Vegas. He will look to build upon his rookie season. He played in 79 games and averaged 12.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. His 2022 draft classmate Tari Eason is also on the roster for Vegas.
Guess the Lakers players!
