Amen Thompson FULL Rookie Season Scoring Highlights | Houston Rockets

Guard Amen Thompson received Second Team NBA All-Rookie honors for the 2023-24 season. Thompson's honor marked the fourth consecutive year the Rockets had at least one player to make an All-Rookie team selection. He joins Jae'Sean Tate (First Team in 2020-21), Jalen Green (First Team in 2021-22), Tari Eason and Jabari Smith Jr. (Second Team in 2022-23).

Thompson, who the Rockets drafted with the No. 4 pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, appeared in 62 games during his rookie season. He averaged 9.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 22.4 minutes per game.

Thompson began to establish himself as a prominent player for coach Ime Udoka during his 23 games playing as a starter. The former OverTime Elite prospect fell short of averaging a double-double with 13.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals. Throughout the season, Udoka found pleasure in watching Thompson develop his skill set as an off-ball guard.
