This the season we have been waiting for fellas
Alperen Sengun had a 15 point, 15 rebound, 3 assists, 4 block, 1 steal debut against Evan Mobley.
Evan Mobley made an all-defensive team.. Did Sengun make any of the All-teams?
@@djmill8000 The fact that Mobley made an all-defensive team makes Sengun's debut impressive which was my entire point. I never talked about who is better or who is worse. Just that Sengun had an impressive SL debut against Mobley.
@@aaronellingboe8893 yes he did and vs Wemby, but 7 out 10 times most people would say he would struggle against those guys.. however Sengun got the best of those great defenders
I hope we can see Amen lineup as much as possible. Future starting 5 💯
Reed
Tari/Cam
Jabari
Sengun
I still have faith that Jalen Green will be the Robin to Alpi's Batman in the long term. You not see the man put on one of the greatest months of all time at the end of the year?!
@@AreolaGrande94 Jalen Green is Batman, Sengun is not the best player 😂
@@Rodsu lol good one
Well said. Long term I reckon Alpi and Amen are locks. Reed is the perfect piece to allow them to play together. Then it is a battle between Cam, Tari and Jabari as to which two get the other starting roles. Exciting potential.
Salute to the BEST Rockets podcast period 🚀
Means a lot to hear that. Thank you. --Roosh
I would agree. Definitely my favorite
Jalen+Sengun pick and roll or DHO with Reed at the break and Jabari in the corner; Pick. Your. Poison.
The same leg same hand floaters to mess up the defenders timing are so elite. This kid Reed is different
please bless us with a live stream after tonight's game

Kirtland Bayless 😅
All I wanted for Christmas was the rockets to find a guy that can shoot like a Klay thompson and we got em
I already don’t like Jalen. If Cam can learn to throw a simple pocket pass then he is better to me than Jalen.
Roosh's comments about the expectations of the team are very good.
The Brooklyn Nets... the gift that kept on giving. A final thank you to that 'other' NY team...
On point. Kudos to both of you. Reed is special
got my power back early Friday... it's crazy how life falls apart without it.
I think his Bball IQ is going to make the transition seamless. He just seems to always make the right play even when teammates seem out of position. To look so comfortable adjusting out there in such an unorganized setting as summer league bodes well for him.
two biggest issues that could limit rockets ceiling. 1) Reed point of attack defense will require good help defense at the rim, Sengun won't provide that. and 2) playing Jalen, Sengun, and Amen together is still not enough shooting, even with Reed. I think a team can have a good offense with 2 non-shooters simultaneously, but not 3. Jalen will have to improve his 3 ball or we trade him or play him as a 6th man.
Not maxing Sengun would be worst mistake in Rocket's history. There are teams ready to pay him double the max salary if they could.
Maxing Sengun is not urgent. Let's see how everyone does next season before deciding who to max
rockets can just pay more hes not going anywhere
@@vincenthammons-kd9du hope so
Pay that man
he get paid + interest
Love this Collab by you two. My favorite rockets podcast to date. Keep it up bros you got something
Sincerely appreciate that! Thank you. --Roosh
Sheppard is making it look easy.
Reed high IQ. Has flashes of Stockton/CP3 scrappiness on defense, CP3 MIDRANGE, Nash/Curry/Mark Price on offense.
been waiting for this video, lets get it
Yall forgetting Cam, he had the best summer league out of the core, won mvp and avg 30.
My Boi Roos🤘🏽
Any future elite line up requires Jabari to take the next step as reliable 3 and D player to make it happen. I could see very promising line up of Alpi, Jabari, Tari, Jalen/Cam, and Reed to be our starter. Problem is Jalen is already grumpy that he hasn’t got max extension and we cannot afford two max extension to Alpi and Jalen while not loosing another pieces as their rookie contract also coming up
@ 12:00 lol didnt expect that so it was kinda funny
Love your work Frank and Roosh
Thanks brother!
I see john stockon
Alperen+Reed+Cam+Tari=Championship
U missin the 2 best prospects in Jabari n Amen
@@devinrichardson1291 I didn't miss Jabari, but I'm not completely satisfied with Amen yet.
Reed/Jalen/Amen/Jabari/Sengun
Cam/Tari off the bench
Great pod guys. I agree with you guys, I'm trying to temper my excitement after watching Reed. gotta give Stone some credit. looks like he made another good pick from the draft, especially in a year the talent pool was thought to be subpar. watching Reed I have already started fantasizing about his fit with our roster. it appears Reed is a custom made fit to address what we were weakest at. I also agree guys the defense does need work, but I don't think its so bad it will keep him off the floor. I know this is high expectation, but I see Chris Paul with a 3pt shot. he will need time for his body to finish maturing but that's his ceiling IMO. as these young players mature on our roster some hard choices are ahead. unlike Stone I don't believe we will be able to keep them all. there is simply to much high end talent and we can't pay everybody. the battle for playing time will be epic which will fuel our rise in the western conference. I can't wait for the season
Reed is a combo of cp3 and Stockton
Pokes it from behind 😳
I’ve been saying for a while Cam is Jalen Greens replacement if the Rockets decide to move in another direction.
Well, Frank, sorry to see you go. Hurricanes and extended power outages are a fact of life here. 🤷🏾
Can’t wait for next season go rockets in shepherd we trust
Tried to tell ya'll pre draft that Reed could handle the ball and was a really good passer. Had to turn that pre draft live stream off due to the gross mischaracterization of the Tax Man. Glad RCS is finally coming to their senses.
As usual, great critique fellas 👍
There's definitely a chance Reed takes minutes from Jalen. Holiday took minutes from Jalen last year. If Holiday did, Reed probably will too. And if Reed is the best option to start at 2, I trust Ime to make the call.
I mean, if Aaron can finish games over Jalen, Reed can start over Jalen.
Thank u
For the time being we are 10 deep. It could help keep us injury free with fresh legs. This leads to high consistency and high availability. I've never seen an NBA team built this way - hard to predict the outcome. If Udoka can manage it correctly I predict 50 wins. I was high on Sheppard but he has exceeded my expectations.
I agree with Frank's assessment. RS is a good passer, good shooter, reminds me more of CP3
the correct comp for Reed is Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
Lol 😂
Love everything about Reed he just needs to work on his handles.
Don’t talk trades of existing base…..this is D-Day…for this crew …with chance to take us to a new level.
We now have some depth that can play…with more scoring , better defense. And just maturing!
And the Vets also have to prove themselves worthy of an extension or trade….and a Coach pulling the strings/ executing!
Still unknowns…but trading for a star….is problematic at this stage unless you are giving up on a player!
Wait till the trade deadline before you pull the trigger. …see what progress has been made!
We are now 3 deep …who can mesh the best together is the question!
Van Fleet, Thompson, Holiday…PG
Green , Whitmore, Sheppard…SG
Dillon, Griffins, Tate, …SF
Smith,, Eason, Green…PF
Sengun, Adams, Landale …C
Gleague…Samuels, Hinton, Williams
Boban/Bullock ..move on
Seems all we need is a defensive stopper that can run the floor .
Your guys on the bubble or ‘time to take next steps’…are Jalen, Sengun, Jabari
with Amen, Cam, and Reed ..on the way up ! Playing time, consistency….and willing to play defense!
With Adam’s, , VanFleet, and Dillon…..Vet’s with maturity and no excuses…pretty good mix!
But we are in league of bigs …so who is going to guard Jokic, Wemby, Davis, Embid, Bam, Rudy….do we have that stopper??
Adam’s could surprise and fill the middle while the others do their thing!
Or can someone fill the void….Jabari and Amen and Reed can play a couple of positions for flexibility or going small.
Time will tell….but I think they deserve this year to get over the hump!
My one pg must simplified go over there a jumpshot from the free-throw cp3 nash stockton price and Jordan... reed keep doing that in key moments he a HOF
Y'all might be sleeping on Reed's defense
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Also, it might be time for us to focus on Cam and stop forcing this Jalen thing..
Larry Bird had feel for the game. Reed is a shorter version of Bird. Truly watch the two and you see the best comparison
The only thing Reed has to do is get stronger…
Jalen, Reed, Cam, Amen, Bari, Tari
Rockets gonna be SPOOKY 🚀🔥
Reed is nice
I think we would have won 48 games last season if Al P and Tari were healthy. I think they're worth that 7 game swing. So I don't see why we can't win 50. Especially with a motivated JG
I was thinking the same about Josh Christopher. Most teams already have their top two scorers so they’re looking for intangibles in the summer league. He has been bounced around the league ever since the Rockets let him go and when I watch him now, he is trying to pass more but I think it’s too late for him.
JGup had an interview with Agent 0 and he brainwashed him to shoot and hog the ball. The dots were easy to connect. He had potential.
Will Sheppard be our best top pick out of the Rockets tanking era?
He reminds me of CP3 more than anybody, but I also haven't seen a lot of Steve Nash or Devin Booker. I see a little Steph too.
Cam melo wilkins whitmore
And
Michael air Cheffard the best backcourt in the league
He reminds me of Steve Nash
Orlando arms long as hell he look 7ft only 610
SHEEPARD CURRY LETSSSS GOOOO ROCKETS 🚀
Reed a smaller version of Devin booker
Thank you Stone?
Man AJ looking good defense and you talk about explosive 💣 and shot is money .... he might be the biggest steal of all the rebuild ..
🚀🚀🚀♨️♨️♨️
chop shop was a trade the pick guy---or just ambivalent on all the players in the draft
Yes we were low on the draft. Reed is a Rocket now so that’s irrelevant.
Reed mother and father were both basketball players. He admits he has his BBall IQ from his mother and trained with his father. I can see some jealousy from some Rockets players
There's no jealousy from the Rockets players. Cam really enjoyed playing with him.
@saleemkirmani5583 Wasn't referring it to ONLY Cam
@Webbie00 Who are you referring to?
@bastadimasta 😂 you make that assessment off of 2 SL Games? Hahaha
@Bastadimasta You think there are teams willing to pay Sengun DOUBLE THE MAX??😂....I haven't laughed this much in a while! Thank you
1st like. CSG 4 life
sheepard curry here we go
SHEP CURRY
hes the same size as curry and bigger then chris paul why are people still questioning his size
He’s small, not a knock just a fact. Those players have to play in that reality as well. The question is how does he overcome his size.
I don't remember people questioning pauls and curry's size
So Frank...who would you have drafted then? 😂
Irrelevant we drafted Reed and he’s a Rocket.. that’s all that matters now.
@@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP 🤣🤣🤣
@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP you when you get something right: "I been telling yall..."
you when you get something loudly wrong: "irrelevant "
unsub bye
What happened to "besides 3 point shooting, what does Reed even bring?" What happened to "Reed = Jimmer"?
Very rare Frank L, just own it man
I thought you blocked me on Twitter bro 😂.. thanks for watching.
@@ROCKETSCHOPSHOP I'd never block you bro, just breaking your balls 😂. Must have me confused with someone else
It's time to trade Jalen.
No it ain’t. Let’s see what Jalen looks like next to Reed, I think the fit can be harmonious between them. If not, then make a move around the deadline. But at least see what it looks like first, sheesh 😅
Y'all gotta stop posting dumb shit 🤷🏽♂️
Nah, let's get Sengun outta here for a Zion
@@jdubb5370 if you get Zion you gotta factor into his contract the massive street clothes budget expense. That dude is gonna fall off a cliff in his late 20's when he loses even a little bit of his athleticism and keeps playing overweight.
@@jdubb5370stop it fool
Alpi and Jalen haters are the same people... Dumb
Reed is an athletic Steve Nash. I like the CP3 comp though.
God Bless you Melania. I know you want what is best for Donald Trump and America!
??
Only one ball. Sengun is not a threat off-ball, and JG struggles off-ball.. Reed is looking like the real deal.. The question is who are you putting the ball in the hands of? On offense, sometimes too much versatility is a negative, too many playmakers but no catch and shoot 3 and d guys. It was a reason why Harden era rockets won a lot of games… everybody was specialized at their position, it wasn’t to much overlap.. Sengun needs the ball to be effective and JG needs the ball to be effective.
Jalen is going to get paid what he wants
