Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets did it again, as they won their tenth straight game on Wednesday night. The Rockets are currently 1 game behind the Warriors with 10 games left in the season. So there's a real chance Houston could pass the Warriors and make the Play-In.
Jalen Green dropped 37 points in the win against OKC, and has been performing like a superstar ever since Alperen Sengun went down with an ankle injury.
Which begs the question, has Jalen Green already achieved superstardom, or should we expect him to show some regression before the season concludes?
Skip believes Green has already achieved “star” status, but superstardom appears right around the corner. He went as far to compare him to Anthony Edwards.
Plus, will the Rockets and Green be able to maintain this level of success when Sengun returns, whether it's this year or next?

With two picks in the second round, the Houston Texans went defense with their first selection. At No. 42 overall, the Texans selected Georgia defensive back Kamari Lassiter. Lassiter should be able to compete Day 1 at nickelback for Houston, according to NFL.com draft expert Daniel Jeremiah.
Draft analyst Lance Zierlein had Lassiter as a second round pick before he ran a 4.64 forty at his pro day. Both Zierlein and Jeremiah projected Lassiter as a third round pick because of his slow forty time.
He may not be fast, but he can really cover. Lassiter allowed 136 pass yards in coverage in 2023, per PFF. The fewest among FBS cornerbacks.
Protecting the franchise
The Texans turned their attention to the offense with their second pick in the round, selecting Notre Dame right tackle Blake Fisher. Jeremiah said on the broadcast that Fisher was the best tackle on his board when the Texans selected him. Jeremiah believes he would have been a first round pick next season if he went back to school. It will be interesting to see if the Texans experiment with Tytus Howard at guard again this year.
In the third round, the Texans traded up to No. 78 overall and selected USC defensive back Calen Bullock. He recorded 9 int, and 15 pass breakups in his career with the Trojans.
