What happened: Across 79 games in 2025-26, the 23-year-old averaged 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists. Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Scottie Barnes, Jalen Johnson, Paolo Banchero and Giannis Antetokounmpo were also among those who met each threshold.
Why it matters: The season preceded Houston's five-year, $208 million rookie-scale commitment through 2032. He and Alperen Sengun give the Rockets two young all-around producers under long-term deals.
By the numbers: Thompson started all 79 appearances, averaged 1.5 steals and logged an NBA-high 2,953 minutes.
What to watch: Training camp will offer the next look at how Houston structures Thompson's role for 2026-27.
