On June 1, the NBA Rockets officially issued a high comment on the young forward Amen Thompson who performed well in the 2024-2025 season: "You have once again created team history and won the honor of Best Defensive Player of the Month + Best Defensive Team of the Year. The sky is your limit, and we are proud of you!"

The Rockets team management highly recognizes Amen Thompson's excellent performance on both offense and defense this season. Whether it is starting or playing on the bench, his attitude towards the game is very dedicated. Next season, Amen Thompson will completely firmly sit in the starting position and will get more offensive rights. He will be authorized by Uduka as the first core player on both offense and defense of the Rockets. Therefore, Amen Thompson is very likely to usher in a huge explosion in data per game in the new season.

Amen Thompson and the Warriors have played seven games in the first round of the playoffs this season, averaging 33.1 minutes per game, scoring 15.7 points + 6.9 rebounds + 3.3 assists + 1.7 steals + 0.9 blocks, shooting percentage of 49.0%, three-point shooting percentage of 25.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 69.0%. If he continues to improve his three-point shooting percentage and free throw shooting percentage in the offseason, then Amen in the new season will indeed become a big killer for the Rockets, and it is worth looking forward to joining the ranks of superstars in the future!
