    Tari is the Rockets leading scorer, rebounder, shot blocker and tied with the best plus-minus right now. He'll likely improve in the regular season as well, he needs development as if he was a top 4 pick as well imo.

    Amen’s court awareness has been as advertised. Making the right play every time on both sides. Color me impressed so far.

    He and Sengun will be fun.

    Scoot is forcing it out there. There is no real ball movement with him, he always needs to be part of the play and he isn‘t shy taking less than optimal shots. That sounds like criticism - I don‘t really mean it like that. This is summer league, he is the third overall pick and he should have been the second. I like, that he is trying to put his stamp on the game. Still, in the regular season, I much prefer the way Amen is playing today. Outside of fouling he seems to be doing almost everything the right way. Still you ask me today, if I want Scoot or Amen, I take Scoot.

    Things just come so easy to Amen. Doesn't look like he's forcing anything. Pushes when needed, but playing within the flow of the game. Something about his game just feels very mature for his age.

    Hate the idea he’s got FVV now in front of him. I know it’s only one summer league game but wow, after watching our train wreck the past three years I’d give him the keys now!

    No idea who that is, but anyone with half a brain should be concerned with Jabari's starting spot under a coach that isn't a moron.

    I was thinking the same thing lol. If this is truly a meritocracy like Ime said and everyone will earn their minutes, Jabari won't be starting.

    He looks great. Couldn’t be more impressed with him right now. As soon as I heard him give interviews I had a feeling we were getting a special kid. He’s a smart kid and it translates to the game.

    This is a good reminder that none of these guys on the Rockets Summer League team are staring caliber.
