Sets Rockets rookie record in loss Green finished Sunday's loss to the Celtics with 30 points (11-18 FG, 8-10 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal. Impact It was easily the best performance of the season for the No. 2 overall pick, who scored just nine points in each of his first two appearances heading into Sunday. Green's eight three-pointers set a new Rockets rookie record, and he fell just one shy of the NBA rookie record of nine, which is, of course, held by held by Rodrigue Beaubois and Yogi Ferrell. Green also threw down several thunderous dunks on his way to a team-high 30 points, providing a glimpse into why he's perhaps the highest-upside player in the 2021 Draft class. Green and the Rockets head into a three-game Week 2 that begins Tuesday at Dallas and also includes meetings with the Jazz (on Thursday) and Lakers (on Sunday).
