Dec 13 Rockets Article by Sam Amick (The Athletic)

Great read, thanks for sharing! Love our toughness and ability to blitzkrieg other teams with a variety of defensive menaces. We're having some fun this year, yeah baby!!

 

Was just thinking about Sheppard coming into this environment out of College and the quality of defensive talent and the culture around him. If/when he finally catches up the speed and grittiness of the rest of the players and he regains his confidence on the offensive end, Udoka may very well turn him into the next Stockton.

 

So much for the talk of Jalen’s contract benefitting only the Rockets.

As suspected, he and his agent pushed for less years in negotiations where the Rockets pushed for less than max $.
