Rockets' Amen Thompson: Retreats to bench vs. New Orleans
Thompson is not in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason matchup versus the Pelicans, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.
Thompson started in the Rockets' first two preseason games, once at small forward and once at point guard. However, Fred VanVleet is back after receiving a scheduled day off last Wednesday against the Thunder, and Thompson will likely be in the first wave of replacements off the bench.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Efficient in loss Monday
Thompson notched 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, an assist and two steals across 22 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Thompson got the start at small forward over Dillon Brooks (rest) in the preseason opener. While he's ticketed for a bench role to start the 2024-25 campaign, Thompson possesses decent upside as a do-it-all forward who can fill the stat sheet in limited minutes. Thompson averaged 9.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks per game across 62 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2023-24.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Triple-doubles in season finale
Thompson recorded 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, three blocks and three steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 win over the Clippers.
Thompson finished the regular season with a bang, posting his first career triple-double. The Rockets were missing a couple key players Sunday, so Thompson was able to show what he could do with increased usage. His rookie season was full of promise, and Thompson finished the campaign with averages of 9.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals on 53.7 percent shooting from the field.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Logs 12th double-double of season
Thompson chipped in 17 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 116-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Thompson has followed a similar arc to Jabari Smith last season, in which a promising rookie began to see increased numbers as the season ended. The 2023 first-round pick is arguably one of the most versatile options on the roster. His 6-foot-7 frame helps him provide defensive aggressiveness in the paint, and he complements that skill set with solid numbers on the other side of the ball. Depending on Houston's off-season moves, Thompson could be poised for a breakout sophomore campaign.

Rockets' Amen Thompson: Posts double-double
Thompson closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 124-121 loss to the Jazz.
Thompson recorded his first double-double since March 29 and 11th of the campaign, an impressive tally for a rookie who's not a frontcourt player. Thompson still needs to grow into his game, but the upside is evident. He has the potential to be an elite fantasy option due to his ability to fill the stat sheet on any given night.
