Can the Rockets bench become a top-5 unit next season?
When you have had one of the worst records in the league for multiple seasons, more than likely your bench is probably struggling. Last season the bench started slow and many wonder if they would stay in the bottom ten again for the 2023-24 season.
With a nagging injury to rookie Amen Thompson that kept him out early in the season, fellow rookie Cam Whitmore fighting for playing time and second-year forward Tari Eason dealing with his own injury, the bench was a negative most games to start the season. Once Thompson started to get his footing after returning from injury and Whitmore carved out a role in the rotation, the bench finally started to become a positive instead of a negative.
