    Yea no, this is the city of superstars, the Rockets don't go without the playoffs more than 4 seasons and we get a superstar every time.

    I watched all of it. This is exactly what Amen must improve to become a superstar.
    Similar for Alpi.

    Yes, Jabari/Tari/Reed are important also, but the Rockets have a sky high upside if just these two pop.

    Yeah, he was actually really good on middies when he took them last season, but the shot volume was fairly low. Probably he just needs more confidence, and the extra practice will help with that.

    I was impressed/surprised at just how granular a level they actually work with players to help correct form and movements. Like you can see already how much better more fluid and concise Amen looks in his moves compared to the season. Hopefully it translates to games, he could be well ahead of where i thought he'd be.

    1) Amen looks great but 2) I really want to get this coach checked for emphysema

    If I was a father with a son who wanted to play in leagues I would search for all of this publicly posted workouts.
    Imagine how much free advanced knowledge we get to witness!

    These players pay these coaches $1000’s - $10,000’s for this info & personal training.
