With a 5-1 record and a runner-up finish at the NBA’s 2023 summer league in Las Vegas, the young and rebuilding Houston Rockets had a successful 11-day run.
Rookie forward Cam Whitmore, drafted at No. 20 overall in the 2023 first round, was sensational. He averaged 19.3 points (44.7% FG), 5.2 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 31 minutes. The uber-athletic 19-year-old played in all six summer contests and was named MVP.
