Alperen Åžengün had one huge month but didn’t take the leap many had hoped. Kevin Porter Jr. stayed inside the cut line all year. The rest of the Rockets… well … not so much. But is there a light ahead asks @DanBesbris in this second season review series show?

We’ll go back-to-back on lessons learned shows, and this one is a retread. Don’t draft high profile rookies. They almost never hit. @DanBesbris discusses the ones that did, too, and they’re often free agent adds.
In this episode we look back on Paolo Banchero, Jabari Smith Jr and Keegan Murray, the only three rookies drafted inside the top-100 this past season. Plus, where will Victor Wembanyama get drafted next year, and how many rookies DID make a splash this season off the waiver wire?
