Man I pray we donāt fumble this pick. Weāve had and let go of way too many first round picks for nothing. Bad asset management is what I fear.
Stone sounded like he was not prepared for this. Which makes me worried
Drake is fucking Thanos bruh aināt nobody killing his career
Great point, Roosh. I watched a live game Sarr played for Perth Wildcats against Sydney, and heās presence or impact was non-existent. I donāt think Sarr deserves to be a top 3
I really like Kelāel Ware, I think we can trade down to get him, if we want to draft players this yr
Rockets need players to make play offs, trade the pick!!! Take M.Bridges from Brooklyn & L.Kennard from Memphis!!!
Kelāel Ware would be the perfect fit, a stretch 5 whoās quick on his feet and good rim protector. If we have Sengun, Adams and Kelāel for our centre position, we wonāt have problems with our bigs anymore
Draft another big center so we could have a strategy against the spurs,thunder and nuggets
We should trade down a couple spots and draft reed sheppard and another asset
This might be a hot take, but I think Kelāel Ware is better than Clingan as 7 foot centres. Both can defend, block shots and do pick n rolls. But Ware is a 40% 3 pt shooter and create his own shot.
Jaron Jackson Jr
Trade down and get a good vet. I like Ron Holland and Stephon Castle too
Iād take Caruso and 11 in a heartbeat
Great video fellas we need to give Harden a statue because we gotten so lucky getting top four picks three years in a row.
I would prefer to trade down like Roosh said trade down and get a shooter like Dalton Kinchet he 23 like Jaquez and he played a lot of good college basketball. Him and Reed I know you guys donāt want to draft another guard but Fred not going to be here. He would be the perfect fit next to Amen and Jalen.
If we trade with Portland Kinchet and Ware (from Indiana) I would be happy with because we fill the need.
Trading out I wouldnāt mind but there no stars I would trade for so thatās probably out of it.
If they keep the pick just pick the best player someone who high on your board and go from there.
The future is bright fellas canāt wait for next season to start already
Clingan please. He has upside.
I get what Roosh is trying to say. But he keeps ignoring the age and experience of the Rockets players. Frank is saying that these young players that contribute off the bench in a role, usually are part of an established veteran team that already has it's key roles figured out for the most part and those "contributing rookies" are filling a specific role that wasn't already filled by the established veterans. Rockets don't have that, they have 1 established veteran (FredVV), a wildcard in Dillon Brooks, and an injury unknown in Steven Adams, everyone else is still setting into their place on the team. So any new player automatically throws a wrench in that settling process especially the higher they are drafted. And to me, that's the most important thing for the Rockets this season, they need to settle the role and position of at least 4 of those "core 6" guys. So they can move forward with a more detailed organization of the roster and plan accordingly.
They should make this draft bcos since theyāre now a winning team the opportunity to get a top 3 pick would be so hard in the future. At least Okc is still drafting. Any of Clingan or zaccaharie risacher would be cool
Take Reed. We don't need a franchise player. We need a reliable shooter now, tomorrow, and forever. We are lucky we got #3. It wasn't expected. Leverage the opportunity to get the exact player and type you need. We didn't go into this draft hoping to pull the best available potential franchise player. Nor do we need one.
We need another ball handler
Give me Rob
Here is a crazy unlikely trade scenario. The 3rd pick, Jalen, and the Salary Squad, for Trae Young and a future pick swap with ATL and a future 2nd from ATL. I probably still would have reservations about this though because of Jalens potential and the fact that Jalen is already a better defender than Trae Young is at this point.
Donovan Mitchell or Jaylen Brown coming. We cant be in the playoff/playin picture with the same roster in the west with 13 team (10 team + Us + Memphis + Spurs) competing. Ime didnt even smile a lil bit in that draft room. He dont give a f about the pick. We need a floor riser and he knows it.
I donāt think trading down is that realistic. I donāt think we have room for 2 guys in this class. Preferably if we trade down, we get a pick next year instead of 2 this year but I doubt teams are interested in doing that since next year is projected to be better. If you can trade #3 in a package that gets a āstarā you consider that, otherwise I think you just take the player that you like the most at 3.
They both destroyed that French kids name! ššš
Best part is we didnt tank and still get lottery pick.
Reed Sheppard is good fit for us. We can replace Aaron Holiday with him and thank god he can shoot three and free throw
Topic or Risacher, we need to get best player available. It will be a long time until next time we get a top pick.
Opening with the Kendrick/Drake beef? Don't forget to talk about Taylor Swift next pod.
We need to trade Sengun with the pick.
Reed shepherd is a Houston rocket
Rob dillingham im betting will be a star in this league. He can take over for vanfleet ina couple years
