The future is bright in Houston.

These players didn't just show flashes, they impacted games on the offensive end and made it clear they're names to remember moving forward.    [player_tooltip player_id='2823944' first='Romeo' last='Harrison']'s ability to score at all three levels was as natural as it was elite. Whether working in isolation, in transition, off the catch, or navigating traffic off the dribble, he had a bag for every scenario. Harrison displayed the nastiest double crossover I've seen in some time, showing next-level deception, freezing defenders and creating separation with devastating precision. Harrison's a savvy foul baiter, skilled at holding his defender hostage and initiating contact to draw fouls. [player_tooltip player_id='2823944' first='Romeo' last='Harrison']'s handle, creativity, and advanced scoring IQ cemented his status as a premier offensive weapon.     This lefty controlled tempo, breaking defenders down the full length of the floor, stopping on a dime and changing directions constantly to turn defenders on his way to the rack. The way he pounded the rock with his head held high at all times allowed him to constantly look past and over defenders proving to be unfazed by the man in front of him, only focusing on the help and finding holes in the defense.     [player_tooltip player_id='2860104' first='Alan' last='Liu'] understood how to operate efficiently inside the arc, getting to his midrange spots with ease and speed. Liu was deliberate with his footwork before pulling up cleanly. [player_tooltip player_id='2860104' first='Alan' last='Liu'] didn't waste movements or dribbles, just one or two bounces into rhythm pull-ups, exploiting soft spots in the defense.     Sanchez kept defenders off balance with a combination of sharp pump fakes, side steps, and a lightning-quick first step. He thrived against hard closeouts, routinely making them pay by attacking their momentum and either side-stepping into space or driving through the gap with a clear read. His shot deception and footwork made him a tough cover on the perimeter.     [player_tooltip player_id='2818373' first='Jericho' last='Jackson'] displayed pure scoring instincts, operating with patience and feel for the game as he allowed things to come to him. He picked his spots wisely, reading the defense in real time and capitalizing on openings without forcing the action. Whether pulling up off a reversal or attacking the basket, his ability to exploit defensive coverages and score efficiently made him a constant threat.     [player_tooltip player_id='2560661' first='Ethan' last='Davis'] brought a low, powerful frame with explosiveness off the bounce. His first step from a standstill was elite, giving him the ability to blow by defenders without a setup dribble. What separated Davis was his body control and change-of-pace handles, he could shift gears mid-drive, using stutters, hesitations, and strong downhill bursts to gain leverage and stay on balance. A true physical guard with twitchy movement and a powerful driving game.
