The lead-in game to the Wembanyama-Henderson showdown pits the Thompson brothers against each other for the first time in NBA jerseys.
Amen Thompson, the No. 4 overall pick, will lead the Houston Rockets against Ausar Thompson, the No. 5 overall pick, and the Detroit Pistons.
An iso camera on the Thompson brothers, if they guard each other, would be fascinating to watch, and it would be an innovative way to broadcast a Summer League contest.
The brotherly showdown could translate to a scoring competition between the two players, and that could make for great entertainment before Wembanyama hits the floor.
Amen Thompson will be Houston's top draw, but the Rockets will be worth watching too to see how Cam Whitmore responds to his fall to No. 20.
Whitmore was viewed as a top-10 selection throughout the pre-draft process, so we could see three top-10 talents on the floor at once in this game.
