Podcast: Evaluating the Thompson twins and Houston’s 2023 draft targets

Is Amen or Ausar Thompson the best fit for the #Rockets in the 2023 NBA draft, and does each make sense in tandem with a James Harden deal? Friday’s @TheLagerLine explores the options.

Rockets fan and NBA draft analyst Nathan Fogg joins Ben DuBose and Paulo Alves on Friday’s “The Lager Line” to scout Houston’s potential first-round options at No. 4 and No. 20.

With a particular emphasis on the twin brothers of Amen and Ausar Thompson, the roundtable discussion compares and contrasts Houston’s most likely possibilities with its high lottery pick.

Other topics of debate include whether it makes to pursue both James Harden and a rookie point guard, such as Amen Thompson or Scoot Henderson; trade scenarios (up, down or out) that Rockets general manager Rafael Stone may consider at No. 4; and a preliminary list of options involving the No. 20 pick, along with prospects in that range.

Friday’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.”
