Kevin Durant TRANSFORMS Houston Rockets Into CONTENDERS And Alperen Sengun Makes ALL-NBA LEAP
Houston Rockets surge to a 15-6 start as the Kevin Durant era electrifies the franchise. Is Houston shaping up as a true title contender?
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly co-hosts Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks), Brandon Scott (@brandonkscott), and Ben DuBose (@BenDuBose) to break down Durant’s superstar impact, his career-low usage, and the evolving chemistry with Alperen Sengun—now playing at an All-NBA, arguably MVP, level. The panel explores Durant’s influence on young talent like Reed Sheppard and Jabari Smith Jr., team-wide defensive improvements under Ime Udoka, and major rotation adjustments following injuries to Fred VanVleet and Tari Eason.
Can the Rockets develop depth beyond Durant and Sengun, and will Alpi's leap make him a perennial core piece? Insights include KD’s playmaking, the two-man game potential, and how Houston’s front office is crafting a sustainable contender as the Western Conference heats up.
