“I was going to give some love to Alperen Sengun,” perennial NBA All-Star and future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant said on a recent live stream. “He’s nice. I like him.”
If a player tries to do that, he will be adding stress onto himself, which will also hinder his developmental process. That is what 19-year-old Houston Rockets rookie Jabari Smith Jr. is going through right now, as he tries to figure out his role on a team with four starters under age 23. Houston selected him with the third overall pick in the first round of the 2022 NBA draft after witnessing his stellar one-year performance at Auburn University.
Former Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook moved into 10th place on the NBA's all-time career assists list. Westbrook achieved the milestone in the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers 121-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets Monday night. He moved past Hall-of-Famer Gary Payton, who finished his career with 8,966 assists.
