The Houston Rockets faced off against the San Antonio Spurs on July 11th, 2022 in the NBA Summer League. The Rockets have one of the best teams in the summer league, and they were able to get the job done against the Spurs.
Jabari Smith, who was drafted with the 3rd overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, came up with a strong performance in the game against the San Antonio Spurs.
The former Auburn player scored 19 points and had 9 rebounds as well. He had a great overall game and is starting to show why he is touted as the best prospect in this draft class.
The Houston Rockets have done great work in the last two drafts. Last year they got Jalen Green, Josh Christopher, and Alperen Sengun. This year they got Jabari Smith, Tari Eason, and TyTy Washington.
