Amen Thompson speaks with the media following a 119-111 victory vs. the Suns (Michael Horton KPRC 2)
It was no secret that Amen Thompson blossomed into one of the NBA’s most valuable young players in his second season with the Houston Rockets, and his work on the defensive side of the ball led to his inclusion among the league’s elite.
Thompson was joined by Dyson Daniles of the Atlanta Hawks, Luguentz Dort of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors and Evan Mobley of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In his second campaign after being selected fourth overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, Thompson finished second on the Rockets in both steals and rebounds per game and was third on the team in blocks per game.
