Dejavu ??
Is there really a chance the Rockets can get this player? I mean even if they can, they would have to move up to get him. There are a few teams that are picking ahead of the Rockets that are interested in this player. Do you guys know something that the rest of us don’t?
You're doing a great job Jackson.
Kasparas Jakucionis is taller, stronger and smarter than Jalen and Reed, it is certain that he is a way better basketball player than both..! But the Rockets need an elite guard immediately, not to lower the bar that low and you have to get rid of both of them first..!
Cunningham, Braun, Bogdanovic or Micic are so good guards far beyond you can even imagine, go get one of them if you can… (Except Doncic) all the other players you talk about like Jamal Murray etc, totally unreliable disasters nothing more..!
I really hope rockets don't use this 10th pick to draft and put the player in the rockets rotation. we don't even gave Reed and Cam enough chances to let them develop. idc. trade that pick and jalen to some old stars that's not too expensive
I was all about just trading this pick but now the few players we have talked about, Carter Bryant, kasparas, maluwach, Fleming, all have immediate impacts for us as long as they can get PT.
I trust whatever stone does at this point he one of most underrated GMS in the league
