Kevin Porter Jr.

HOU Point Guard #3

The Rockets are “actively engaged with multiple teams” on a Kevin Porter Jr. trade, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

KPJ was arrested on charges of assault and strangulation, but Houston has been able to entice teams to discuss a trade by attaching draft compensation. If they reach a deal with a team, Houston will move on from KPJ and draft capital, and the team that acquired Porter Jr. will likely waive him. There haven’t been any teams mentioned, but KPJ’s contract isn’t guaranteed, so it shouldn’t be difficult for a team to acquire and release him.
Kevin Porter Jr.

HOU Point Guard #3

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Rockets are looking to trade recently arrested guard Kevin Porter Jr.

Porter, who was arrested in New York City on charges of domestic assault and strangulation on Monday, had not been disciplined by the Rockets or the league due to the fact that the case is still active. Given the severity of the charges, with Porter’s girlfriend having suffered a broken vertebra and cuts to her face, the Rockets guard’s future in the NBA is of little concern right now. That said, it’s now being reported that the Rockets are looking to trade Porter, attaching future draft capital in hopes of receiving a player who can help the team immediately.
Kevin Porter Jr.

HOU Point Guard #3

According to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle, Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested in New York City on charges of assault and strangulation.

According to the report, Porter is charged with assaulting his girlfriend at a midtown Manhattan hotel on Monday. He’s said to have gotten into an argument with his girlfriend, former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, over his late return to their hotel room, allegedly assaulting her after being let into the room by hotel security. Porter is currently being held at the New York Police Department’s 17th Precinct.
Boban Marjanovic

HOU Center #51

The Rockets have re-signed Boban Marjanović to a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Boban joined the Rockets last season as part of the deal that sent Christian Wood to Dallas. He played 5.5 minutes per game in 31 total appearances. He’s a great locker room guy and one of the most likeable players in the league. However, he isn’t doing much for fantasy teams.
Dillon Brooks

HOU Small Forward #24

Dillon Brooks played 42 minutes in Sunday’s 127-118 overtime win over the United States, finishing with 39 points (12-of-18 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal, two blocks, and seven 3-pointers.

Canada, which clinched its place in next summer’s Olympics earlier in the FIBA World Cup, earned the bronze medal on Sunday. That is the nation’s best-ever finish in a senior men’s competition, and Brooks had a lot to do with Canada’s performance. Long known for his defensive prowess, the Rockets wing was nearly unstoppable against the United States. Efficiency on the offensive end of the floor was an issue for Brooks throughout his time in Memphis; if he can carry over his play at the FIBA World Cup to the NBA, he could prove to be of greater value to fantasy managers. For now, however, he’s a late-round option at best.
Jock Landale

HOU Center #11

According to ESPN’s Olgon Uluc, Jock Landale suffered a left ankle injury in Thursday’s friendly matchup with South Sudan and will miss the FIBA World Cup.

Landale signed a four-year deal with Houston in the offseason, and he’s slated to operate as the Rockets’ primary backup at center behind Alperen Sengun. Houston’s depth at that position is razor-thin, and any significant time that Landale is forced to miss would be a boon to Sengun’s fantasy value. It’s unclear how serious Landale’s injury is at this time, but the fact that he was ruled out of the World Cup so quickly is not encouraging.
Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Sengun finished Tuesday’s 85-72 win over Ukraine with a line of 30 points (11-of-19 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, five steals, three blocks, and one 3-pointer in 34 minutes.

What a night for Sengun, who was dominant on both ends of the floor in Turkey’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament win over Ukraine. While the offensive numbers are noteworthy, his defensive contributions are what jumps off the page. Last season with the Rockets, Sengun averaged 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, so producing eight “stocks” is far from the norm for him. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect that level of production from him this season. But if new Rockets coach Ime Udoka can get a little more out of Sengun on the defensive end of the floor, that would make him an even greater fantasy asset.
Jeenathan Williams

HOU Shooting Guard #23

Jeenathan Williams has signed a training camp deal with the Rockets, according to Kelly Iko of The Athletic.

Williams played five games with Portland last season after going undrafted out of Buffalo. He helped the Blazers’ tanking agenda, which allowed them to land Scoot Henderson. He’ll head to Houston, where he’ll likely spend the majority of his time either in the G-League or keeping the bench nice and toasty, if he makes their final roster.
Cam Whitmore

HOU Small Forward

Cam Whitmore shot 6-of-17 from the field in Monday’s 99-78 loss to Cleveland, scoring 14 points with three rebounds and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

Named the MVP of the NBA2k24 Summer League Monday afternoon, Whitmore struggled to get going offensively in the championship game. The first-round pick out of Villanova was aggressive in looking for his shot, but he did not attempt a free throw and shot just 35.3% from the field. As good as Whitmore looked in Las Vegas, he’ll face a difficult fight for rotation minutes when training camp begins in September. The Rockets don’t lack young, energetic wings, and the hiring of a new head coach (Ime Udoka) should also ramp up the competition in early October. For that reason, Whitmore may be a better option for dynasty managers than those who compete in single-season leagues.
Cam Whitmore

HOU Small Forward

Cam Whitmore has been named as the NBA 2K24 Summer League MVP.

After sliding in the draft, Whitmore reminded the league of his talent this summer. He helped Houston to a 5-0 record while averaging 20.4 points, 5.6 assists, 2.4 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.4 threes per game. They’ll play Cleveland in the championship on Monday night. Hunter Tyson, Keyonte George, Orlando Robinson and Sam Merrill joined him on the All-Summer League first team.
