Cam Whitmore averaged 12.5 PPG and 0.7 assists per game last year at Villanova, both of which are highest among Rocket players who played in college last year.

Have the Rockets found their athletic, dynamic playmaker of the future? 👀

The Rockets’ final game of the first half showcased the offensive potential of Jabari Smith Jr, who shot 50% from the field. On the contrary, Kenyon Martin Jr. shot just 11%. If both players maintain their pace, Smith Jr. will shoot 350% better than Martin in the second half. 👀

Jrue Holiday last 3 seasons:
⭐️All-Star
⭐️2x All-Defensive Team
⭐️Anchor of the 2021 Champion Bucks

Did the Rockets win the trade for Holiday? 👀🤔

Rockets sharpshooter Usman Garuba has knocked down 41% of his 3 point attempts this year, which is 10th in the NBA (min. 44 games played). Garuba is additionally the only center that is in the top 20 in 3-point percentage.

Is Garuba the Rockets' center of the future? 👀

Over his last two seasons, star Rockets Center Bruno Fernando is averaging 20.4 PPG, 13.3 RPG, and 2.5 BPG per 36 min. In this span, Bruno has a higher True Shooting % than Curry, Giannis, and Jokic.

Have Stephen Silas and the Rockets uncovered a generational stretch big?

Rockets standout guard Trevor Hudgins has a 30.4 PER, which ranks 4th in the NBA this season and would rank 20th in NBA History since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976.

A star is blossoming before our eyes.
