In a new episode of “The Lager Line,” Rockets podcasters Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves offer their initial reactions to Houston landing Amen Thompson (No. 4 pick, Overtime Elite) and Cam Whitmore (No. 20, Villanova) in the first round of the 2023 NBA draft.
After unexpectedly securing two of the draft’s most desirable prospects, Houston is receiving high grades from NBA analysts. As such, the podcast explores what each player could bring to the young and rebuilding Rockets in the 2023-24 season and beyond.
The show also addresses what the well-received draft says about Rockets general manager Rafael Stone, as well as what the draft haul could mean for 2023 free agency when it opens next weekend.
Saturday’s podcast, which is sponsored by Clutch City Lager of Karbach Brewing, can be listened to below. Each episode of the show is also made available via flagship radio station SportsTalk 790 and all major podcast distributors under “The Lager Line.”
