    Well represented with Tate, Green, and Sengun.

    Questions I have:
    • Will Sengun play more than 15 minutes?
    • Will Green posterize a Rockets teammate?
    • Will Tate yell at a teammate for blowing a defensive assignment?

    KJ Martin robbed from dunk contest. We should have 2 Rockets going head to head.

    I’m sure Alpi will have at least one top highlight pass in this game. Green will have an electric slam. Tate will probably score a bunch if he gets the minutes as there will be very little interior defense being played in this game.

    Not really. KMJ is an excellent dunker with great hops, but not a flashy one. His best dunk would be some off the bounce windmill

    A great chance for Sengun and Green to recruit future Rockets.

    Sengun with his superior use of the English language will smooth talk somebody to come here in free agency.

    Rick Barry will give Sengun more minutes than Silas ever will. :)

    Also, get to see some future 2022 1st rounders in Jaden Hardy, Dyson Daniels, Scoot Henderson, MarJon Beauchamp.

    I know it is your trick question, the ASG and Rising Challenge all have to play everyone 8-10 minutes.

    I think they are pretty just that way.

    I would like to see JC in a dunk contest too. His in game dunks are fun.

    He has those dunks that looks like he suspends in mid air for a moment before he punches it through.
