    Do you think any Houston Rocket has a chance to win a major award or lead the league in a major stat?

    I wonder if Stone will win GM of the year for giving Brooks $80 million and using 6,000 2nd round picks to offload 20 year olds he just drafted.

    I would bet hard against Whitmore having a better rookie season than Thompson, and he may not even play in the NBA, could be in the G-League. Pretty significant age/experience difference and Amen is much more NBA-ready with his defense, passing, and IQ.

    Depends on role. PG is a difficult position to learn, Amen is absolutely not ready.

    Whitmore can excel in a more limited role as a finisher. He cuts hard and is physically strong to finish and dunk on people, can shoot decently from 3 and is a disruptor on D, led NCAA in STL%. What he can’t do is playmake in more complex sets, but he can get playing time in a more limited role, absolutely.

    Amen may become the more versatile player down the road, but is a few years away.

    Rookies who fill a limited role well get accolades. Herbert Jones is a prime example…

    Green, Bari and Sengun are all at least decent candidates on paper for MIP. With FVV making max money, I don't think it's likely Amen has a real shot at RoY. Same thing with the packed depth chart at the wings with Whitmore. There's some solid defenders on the roster, but it's extremely unlikely anyone's got a shot at DPOY. That award tends to go to players on winning teams.

    No chance. Britney Spears already told Wemby this and paid the price.

    Half of them would not play that much or are injured.

    KPJ - best assist/turnover ratio in the league
    Harden - DPOY (assuming he's traded here for some 2nd rounders)

    ROY is a 4 horses race between Wemby,Miller,Micic,Vezenkov. Amen has no chance.

    Amen will be ROY..... None of those dudes you mentioned have a chance, Amen will greatly take advantage of Sengun and Green.....
