The Houston Rockets began their training camp in Lake Charles at Mcneese State Legacy Center today. This was the first time the entire team was on the court together, as the Rockets welcomed several new players and, of course, a new coaching staff led by Ime Udoka. Coach Udoka, Jabari Smith and Aaron Holiday spoke to the media.
Alperen Sengun was performing individual drills, and Jock Landale, rehabbing his ankle, and did not participate in the scrimmages. We were able to watch the last 10 minutes of practice and immediately witnessed two great plays.
The first was a huge block by Jermaine Samuels on a Tari Eason dunk attempt that brought the gym to life.
