BPA all the way. The scouts will have to do a really good job. Stone needs to work with coach Udoka throughout the process. TF and PF shouldn't call the shots.
The other Thompson twin hasn't been playing since he got diagnosed with blood clots. He can't shoot the ball either.
I'm not sure BPA is where you DEFINITELY go at #3 in this class given that there seem to be a LOT of guys rated fairly similar....there's not even a consensus #1 right now. I think you have to take fit into account if several players are considered about equal prospects. You have a glaring hole at the 2 & 3 and the team desperately needs shooting so I think you look to fill that spot as essentially a tie breaker.
Yes you should keep this pick you dont get a chance to get Rob Dillingham or Reed Sheppard or Matas Buzelis or Stephon Castle, with this pick you got a chance to get some great shooters and i would not trade this
Trade it with another one of our players for another years draft pick and a decent bench player. We've got enough kids.
Your points make sense. I will go with Holland, his motor is high and his defense is good. Risacher might be an inch taller than him. Risacher isn't very fluid and his shooting was poor down the stretch. He should be doing more with his talent and height. I don't think he's a hard worker.
We need to stay away from any Booker trade. He shrinks in big playoff moments. It would be Harden all over again. Plus he seems to get rattled every time the Rockets play him physical.
Don’t over think, get shooting. This sh*t show isn’t getting turned around anytime soon. Lots more lotteries to come.
The good part about this draft is that it shouldn't be THAT controversial given that there's no real "consensus" as to who the Rockets should go with and a lot of guys seem about the same level. I can't say I've watched enough of the guys to really have one or two guys I think the Rockets HAVE to pick....I wasn't expecting a top 3 pick. Should be much more friendly than the years of Smith vs Banchero or Green vs Mobley. I would expect at least 4 strong camps by the end of it.
Holland has a broken jumper but he has a lot of other tools. If it looked like his jumper could be rehabbed then yeah I’d take him but it looks pretty rough.
The Rockets definitely need additional 3 point shooting, Cam Whitmore can improve his efficiency. Rob Dillingham can shoot 3's and he's quick. His passing is ok. His defense isn't good.
