I didn't watch too much basketball this last year but when I did it was mainly just the Rockets. I was super impressed by two of our rookies who could emerge as great role players. Cam Whitmore I had to google to see who he was and was impressed with his ability to step it up when the team needed it. The other people might see it as a disappointment given his draft status but Amen Thompson when healthy was really pretty great in his role off the bench as well. With those two in particular the team had a heck of a lot of depth!
Ironically enough I do think Fred VanVleet served a great role as an anchor to help right the ship and even though I personally despise his antics Dillon Brooks is extremely good at being irritating. He doesn't take it to the Draymond Green level either but does toe that line.
I didn't watch very many Rockets games this year, but it looks like a really fun emerging team. When Dillon Brooks is on the right side of the line, he's a lot of fun.
Sengun is looking like an emerging star, but for now he might qualify as one of the most fun role guys.
