Role
Thompson is Houston's projected starting shooting guard and its most dynamic two-way force. He led the entire NBA in minutes last season while stuffing every column, and he is a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate. The five-year, $208 million extension says what the Rockets think of him.
How he got here
Houston drafted Thompson fourth overall in the 2023 NBA Draft and signed him to a multi-year deal on July 3, 2023. The Rockets locked him in with a five-year, $208 million extension in September 2026.
