The Rockets might have been one of the NBA’s worst teams, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have their bright spots.
Take Jalen Green — Houston’s No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft.
As a 20-year-old NBA freshman, Green averaged 17 points, three boards, and nearly three assists a game. He did this while shooting 34 percent from three-point land. It’s not superstar production, but it is stellar for a rookie just getting their feet wet in the Association.
