Updated Sep 30, 8:00 AM ET

I know you’re tired of reading about Amen Thompson’s jump shot. The Houston Rockets aren’t immune to the usual offseason fare. Everyone’s stronger, everyone’s got the right mindset, and most importantly, everyone has improved their jump shot. Until the season starts and it becomes apparent that some players have regressed.

Analysis

The page at the link is set to Per36 minutes, sorted by +/-, but you can adjust those parameters as you wish. I like the Per36 best for apples-to-apples comparison, especially in preseason, when everybody is playing but with quite a bit of variance in minutes.
