Jabari Smith Jr., 19, and Alperin Sengon, 20, the youngest Rockets players, talk a lot about the weight room work they’re planning for the offseason. Pelicans’ Jonas Valancionas spent both games in Houston showing why. “The Jabari, especially, when he gets stronger, it’s going to be a problem, because he’s going to take all that connection and end up at the edge, or he won’t be pushed out of place,” Silas said. “Same for Alpi. He’s strong in the lower body, but he can get stronger and better, and when he does, it’s going to be a problem too. They’re going to gain some manpower when we go here.” —via Houston Chronicle / March 20, 2023
