There is no problem in Houston, but a powerful sense of witnessing the birth of something very important. Houston Rockets confirms the best theories about their ability to progress in the process they have been immersed in for some time, and which did not quite come together last year. The accumulated young talent is starting to bear fruit and shows a level of maturity compatible with competition.

It is necessary to stop considering Houston Rockets as a team under construction, and to assume that we are facing a formula as new as it is successful in creating a team with championship aspirations. The impulsive accumulation of young, talented players is already solidifying into a cohesive group, where Dillon Brooks and Fred VanVleet have instilled a competitive character and experience into a pleiad of players in clear evolution.

Alperen Sengun should already be considered a strong contender for All-NBA, while men like Smith Jr and Green continue to unbalance rival defenses from the perimeter. However, perhaps the most surprising and positive aspect of this season is the evolution of Amen Thompson and Tari Eason, two young bodies with a veteran mindset, whose tactical intelligence and solid style of play provide Houston Rockets with the necessary defensive solidity to aim for great challenges.
