NBA.com caught up with former NBA player and current Rockets lead analyst Ryan Hollins to get his thoughts on Amen Thompson.

Thompson talks to Kelly Iko about his mindset, his impact and what he's learning from Dillon Brooks and Fred VanVleet.

There's a legitimate argument for Thompson to remain as the starter when Smith returns.

Based on his seamless fit in the first five, head coach Ime Udoka will have a tough decision to make soon.

Amen Thompson was among second-year players chosen and Reed Sheppard was among those from G-League named to roster for All-Star event.

The Houston Rockets stunned the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden on Monday night, courtesy of a last-second go-ahead bucket from Amen Thompson. Thompson used a nasty move to shed the pressure of his defender Jaylen Brown before sinking a fading jump shot from inside the key to give Houston a 114–112 lead with less than one second left.
