The Houston Rockets' latest mailbag addresses fan questions about rookie Amen Thompson's vertical leap and the level of influence players have on team decisions. The discussion comes after the Rockets' 117-107 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Toyota Center on November 4, 2026.
During a timeout in that game, Rockets players Fred VanVleet, Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, and Tari Eason were seen conferring on the bench. The mailbag explores whether Thompson, known for his athleticism, can reach the top of the backboard, and examines how much input the roster has in organizational matters.
