    This makes KPJ expendable this year
    He sabotaged his draft status to land with the Rockets on purpose.

    As long as it's not a potentially debilitating medical issue, it's probably worth the risk at 20, I would think.

    And if it does work out, an unbelievable draft for Houston, to say the least.

    At 20, you really dont give a f about injury risk, it's actually such low risk high reward

    This is amazing - A+ for this draft - now trade KPJ for some serviceable veteran role player and this team really has a chance to be special especially now that we have a real coach in Udoka who will develop these guys.

    Cam probably doesn't play much this year, but he and Tari fighting for the starting spot for years to come is going to be fun. Tari fits more right now as the blue collar glue guy.

    Amen at 20 and Whitmore at 4 makes more sense, but whatever. Rockets win the draft.

    We need a FVV or the like to truly make KPJ expendable as Amen right now is raw as a shooter.

    Stone - "Did you hear about Cam's bad medicals?"
    GMs - "Cam has bad medicals?"
    Stone - "What? he does? Wow, that's crazy. I wouldn't draft him if I were you then."

    With the 4th pick in the nba draft, the rockets select Cam Newton, i mean Cam Whitmore with the 20th pick. If Rockets can't make the playoffs, I better hope to see a dunkfest season. Great drop to 20, well done! Made the best of the non Weyambo lottery.
