The Houston Rockets ended summer league on a high note with a comeback win over the Timberwolves, led by Kennedy Chandler (20 points) and a standout two-way audition from Malik Wilson (14 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals). While rookie Reed Sheppard drew national attention as a summer league standout, concerns linger over his readiness, inconsistency, and turnover issues—especially after the trade of Cam Whitmore. Host David Delano stresses the Rockets’ need for additional guard depth behind Fred VanVleet and Aaron Holiday to make a true championship push, listing Chris Paul as a leading free agent target still under consideration. The episode debates whether Houston’s young defensive specialists (like Cam Matthews, likened to a young PJ Tucker) can fill key bench roles, but the ultimate question is whether veteran stability—potentially from Paul—will be added before the season begins.
