Summary
Houston Rockets shake up the NBA Top 100 rankings—where do Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, and Amen Thompson truly stand? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down his current ballot ahead of the Locked On poll, questioning if Durant remains an elite top-10 force and weighing Sengun’s and Thompson’s positions among the league’s best. Do the Rockets have multiple stars ready to leap into the upper echelon, or are emerging rivals pulling ahead? Key topics include tough calls between Chet Holmgren, Evan Mobley, and Sengun, the evolving offensive roles for Thompson, and the impact of recent injuries and minutes management on veteran contributors. Highlights include potential surprises at the bottom of the Rockets’ roster—will Jabari Smith Jr. or Fred VanVleet crack the cut? Listeners are invited to debate the Rockets’ ceiling, scrutinize NBA player evaluation, and weigh in on Houston’s top-100 presence this season.
