Amen Thompson Houston Rockets 2025-26 season highlights
Rockets forward Amen Thompson produced highlights, to say the least, last season, showcasing his explosive athleticism and unbelievable defense.
Houston Rockets forward Amen Thompson showcased his remarkable athleticism throughout his third season. Utilizing his quick instincts, towering frame, and impressive vertical leap, Thompson left defenders in awe with his spectacular plays. This impressive season saw Thompson average a career-high 18.3 points per contest, along with 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.6 blocks. Despite finishing eighth in the Defensive Player of the Year voting, Thompson was notably absent from the All-Defensive Team.
As the Rockets prepare for the 2026-27 season, Thompson's development as a shooter will be a key focus. Last year, Thompson converted only 21.6% of his 3-point attempts, a statistic that will undoubtedly be addressed in the upcoming campaign. At just 23 years old, Thompson is on the cusp of becoming one of the NBA's most dangerous threats, provided he can elevate his shooting skills.
