Even though it was just a summer league game, Tuesday night's Rockets-Pistons meeting somehow felt like the most anticipated head-to-head-matchup for Rockets fans since Yao Ming squared off against Shaquille O'Neal in his rookie season in 2002. This was our first chance to see Rockets' top pick Jalen Green go against No. 1 overal pick Cade Cunningham, which was made even juicier when Green insisted he was the best player in the draft.
Both players dazzled. Cunningham had 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists on 8-for-18 shooting from the field to go along with 4-for-9 on 3s.
