What should the Philadelphia 76ers expect from Amen Thompson in his rookie season?
...I’m so sorry.
Jokes aside, we’re all excited for Thompson’s rookie season. Still, this isn't like rookie seasons of the recent past. We already know that the Rockets won’t be starting Thompson this year. They just gave a player at his position over $40 million a season to play basketball. The Rockets will want their money’s worth. Thompson won’t just be a reserve: there’s a world where he doesn't see the floor for 20 minutes per game next season.
