Rockets LIVE Mailbag: Houston SIGNS Sean Pedulla, Amen Thompson SELF CREATION Level Up? & More

Houston Rockets add G League Rookie of the Year Sean Pedulla as a RGV Vipers prospect, while Amen Thompson’s offseason workouts fuel hopes of a breakout year. Can Thompson’s evolving handle and shot creation finally unlock his superstar ceiling amid a crowded Western Conference?

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down Pedulla’s signing, the Rockets’ approach to mining G League talent, and offseason skill development across the roster. Major questions include Amen Thompson’s potential contract extension, how Chip Engelland’s “shot doctor” role could ignite players like Alperen Sengun, and the team’s path among Western contenders such as the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. Listener mailbag sheds light on Houston’s national media perception, Toyota Center renovations, projected starting lineups, and whether Reed Sheppard could contend for Sixth Man of the Year.

Will Ime Udoka’s squad finally translate talent and health into serious playoff contention? Locked On Rockets sets the stage for a pivotal season in Clutch City.
