FanSided NBA Mock Draft: Spurs snag franchise player, Wemby lands in East

The Rockets are surely praying this scenario doesn't happen, as they'd not only miss out on Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson, but also Brandon Miller. Houston is in need of a point guard, after realizing that Kevin Porter Jr. is better suited on the wing, and Amen Thompson flashed with electrifying passes. And it doesn't stop there.

Thompson is a maestro in the pick-and-roll, which should make the Rockets salivate, as that's an important ingredient in the modern NBA. And at 6-foot-7, he's naturally going to be bigger than practically any other point guard in the league. Thompson is also a freakish athlete who can get to the cup at will, which helps collapse the defense and creates opportunities to kick out to open shooters.

Thompson is not a flawless prospect, as his three-point percentage leaves alot to be desired (23% from three), but what prospect doesn't come with areas of improvement? With a statline of 16.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 6.2 assists, the Rockets could do much worse than Amen Thompson. Which is why they should make him their pick at number four. — Anthony Duckett, Space City Scoop
