火箭四人入选最新NBA球员实力榜：杜兰特第12、申京第28、汤普森第37、范弗里特第89

The Houston Rockets have four players listed in the latest ranking of the top talent across the landscape of the NBA.

The Houston Rockets have a pretty solid team heading into the 2026 season, and if they can stay healthy, this roster may have the ability to get the Rockets in a position to make a deeper playoff run than many expect.

On that note, the four Rockets players included on the list are guard Fred VanVleet, guard Amen Thompson, center Alperen Sengun, and forward Kevin Durant.

Before getting deeper into it, the ranking was done by looking at shooting, scoring, rebounding, creation, and defense, and based on the fact that the Rockets have four players on this list, it appears they have some well-balanced players.

Starting with VanVleet, he was ranked as the No. 89 overall player and received a rating of 80, which is pretty solid when considering the fact that he is coming off a major injury.

Now, for Thompson, he was ranked as the No. 37 player overall and he got a rating of 87 and with that said, it appears that the Bleacher Report staff believes in Thompson to be at least a top 40 player, but a strong 2026 season could help him climb even higher.

The third player to talk about is Sengun who was placed at the No. 28 overall spot and received a rating of 88 demonstrating that he is a top 30 players and that his offensive strengths have put him in a position to be one of the big men in the NBA.

Lastly, but certainly not least is Durant who was ranked as the No. 12 overall player and received a rating of 93, proving that the experts still believe he is an elite player and at the minimum, at least for Bleacher Report that he is in the top 15.

When looking at VanVleet, Thompson, Sengun, and Durant, it is very impressive to see that they were all in the top 90 and all received a rating of at least 80 because it demonstrates that they each have the ability to do a little bit everything which could go a long way this season if all four of them can stay healthy.

As a result of the Rockets having players like VanVleet, Thompson, Sengun, and Durant, this team may have a great opportunity to dominate during the 2026 season and possibly overachieve the expectations that analysts have. 

So, with the regular season just a week away it will interesting to watch how the Rockets handle the end of the preseason and when the regular season does start it will be interesting to see how this team starts, because if they have a hot start, there is no telling what Houston can accomplish.
