Udoka used him to replace the injured Smith Jr-a power forward-, while now he is playing point guard to help make up for Fred Van Vleet&#8217;s absence.<\/p>\n<p>Since playing with the starting five Thompson is producing averages of 16.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.8 blocks, shooting 55 percent from the field and 72 percent from the foul line.<\/p>\n<p>The outside shot is still a work in progress, but that doesn&#8217;t stop him from being a difference maker for the Rockets.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Amen Thompson&#039;s defense is RELENTLESS \ud83d\udd12\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dyOI9d4qzxw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Amen Thompson was EVERYWHERE tonight \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcca 25 PTS | 12-15 FG | 8 REB | 5 AST | 2 BLK<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/memorialhermann?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MemorialHermann<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rockets?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Rockets<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sTKt3VucFb\">pic.twitter.com\/sTKt3VucFb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Houston Rockets (@HoustonRockets) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HoustonRockets\/status\/1894984225272541682?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 27, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rockets currently are 4th in the Western Conference with 37 wins in 59 games<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":430393,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[19],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-430395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","typology-video"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
