Rockets Brunson Jr. became a surprise player with 9+4, third overall pick Smith had 4 steals and 3 blocks to redeem himself, and Ethan Taitai is a treasure.
The Rockets' four new stars each showed their special talents, "3 offense and 1 defense" in 1 minute and 14 seconds, helping the team reverse the Thunder
5 of 19 + 2 of 9 three-pointers. The Rockets' pick for the top spot once again proves that the Magic and Thunder made the right choice. There is no advantage in playing the fifth position.
