How good is Houston's top trio? Bleacher Report ranks them among NBA elite
The Houston Rockets have a deep roster for the 2025-26 NBA season, but they also have plenty of star power near the top. With that in mind, Bleacher Report's Greg Swartz ranks Houston as having the fourth-best trio among all 30 NBA teams. 'The Rockets already had a strong net rating when Alperen Şengün and Amen Thompson shared the floor last season (plus-11.1),' Swartz writes. 'The trade for Kevin Durant was also addition by subtraction, however, as Houston was a ridiculous plus-26.8 with Şengün, Thompson, and noJalen Green in 772 possessions last season.' 'Adding Durant in place of Green to a young, successful, and elite defensive team was the perfect fit for the 15-time All-Star,' he adds via Bleacher Report. Sengun earned his first All-Star honor last season, and the hope is that Thompson isn't far behind. The three superior trios on Bleacher Report's list are the No. 3 Cleveland Cavaliers (Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Darius Garland); the No. 2 Denver Nuggets (Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon); and the No. 1 Oklahoma City Thunder (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren). Immediately behind Houston at No. 5 are the Los Angeles Clippers, who have former Rockets star James Harden paired with Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal. Honorable mentions went to the Los Angeles Lakers (Luka Dončić, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves), New York Knicks Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and OG Anunoby), and Golden State Warriors (Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green).

Top-40 class of 2026 basketball recruit announces visit to UNC
The North Carolina Tar Heels have an extensive list of offers in their 2026 basketball recruiting class, with a few of those targets already scheduling visits to Chapel Hill. On Monday, UNC just got word that one of its 13 targets has an official visit scheduled. Maximo Adams, a 4-star small forward who plays at Sierra Canyon School in the Los Angeles suburbs, scheduled North Carolina for one of his six visits. Adams is ranked 40th overall nationally, 17th amongst small forwards and the sixth-ranked prospect in California. Along with Qayden Samuels, Anthony Thompson, Tajh Ariza, Cameron Holmes and Bryson Howard, Adams is one of six wings to receive an offer in the Tar Heels' 2026 class. Though UNC generated most of its 2024 offense from the backcourt, it was small forward Drake Powell who played a major factor in a late-season, NCAA Tournament push. Now a member of the Brooklyn Nets, Powell proved to be a 5-tool player who can handle the ball, throw down massive dunks, snag rebounds and drain 3-pointers. North Carolina has some strong competition for Adams amongst the fellow schools he'll be visiting. Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas, Duke and Texas all made the Big Dance in March, with the Blue Devils facing Houston in the Final Four. The Tar Heels landed a strong 2025 recruiting class: 5-star power forward Caleb Wilson, ranked Top 10 nationally amongst all recruits, plus a pair of combo guards in Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis. If Adams chooses UNC as his next destination, he'll continue to prove that Hubert Davis know how to land top-end talent.

UNC basketball to host top 25 recruit for visit
As the summer winds down and we get set to focus on fall, the North Carolina Tar Heels' basketball program will host several recruits for visits over the next few months. On Sunday, they added another prospect to the visit list, which is already a long one. Top 25 prospect Cameron Holmes added two new visits to his schedule this fall, and both are ACC programs as he announced he will be on SMU's campus on August 29th. A few months later, he will be on UNC's campus for a visit on November 7th. The two visits are added to his list, which also includes Kentucky (Sept. 26), Duke (Oct. 3), USC (Oct. 11), and Arizona (Oct. 17). The 6-foot-6, 195-pound small forward hails from Goodyear, Arizona, and plays at Millennium. He has a total of 16 offers in his recruitment, garnering interest from several top programs and for a good reason. Holmes has elevated his game recently and is now ranked No. 24 nationally, the No. 9 small forward and No. 4 player in the state of Arizona per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.
