    Sarr- Topic- Sheppard all fit what they need. Topic can run an offense and Sarr is a great fit

    That's not even remotely true. 59-177 is awful, but it doesn't crack the top 10 for worst 3 year runs.

    • 2013-16 Philadelphia: 39-207

    • 1991-94 Dallas: 46-200

    • 1996-99 Vancouver: 48-198

    • 1986-89 Clippers: 50 - 196
    • 2022-24 Pistons: 51-192
    • 1997-99 Nuggets: 46-168
    • 1991-94 Wolves 54-192

    • 2008-11 Wolves: 56 - 190

    • 1999-02 Warriors: 57 - 189

    • 1988-91 Heat: 57 - 189
    ...
    • 2020-22 Rockets: 59 - 177

    Hopefully the Wizards over the next few years can bump us down even further

    Reed is small. He is like 6”2”… he is an extremely unique player. He can still defend multiple spots at a high level and is an all world shooter.

    The Rockets Front Office Measures the Height Properly and do Physical Strength Tests, Vertical Jump Test.

    Rockets need a 3 and D Forward Long Wingspan, Quick Laterally, Shot Blocker.
    (Jaden McDaniels Type) Hopefully find that player through scouting.

    I wouldn't mind having Ingram as our three. He needs to get away from Zion, and stay healthy...could be deadly with Sengun.

    Reed looks like a FVV clone, but is a better shooter. That’s not bad at all, and Fred is probably gone after next season at the latest. So, Reed could be a very good fit. He will have a year to learn from Fred.

    It is a real possibility that Clingan is gone by #3. He is very long, physical, passes well and is mobile enough. If a team believes in his shooting and effort - they may take him top two.

    Topic is someone I hope the Rockets really dive into - he has a lot of talent.

    Jumping to #3 from #9 has changed the entire perspective on who to draft. You could feasibly now end up with any of the big names. Luckily for them since there is no clear #1, they'll get to kick the tires on everyone in the draft unlike years past when some of the top picks refused to meet with us.

    Dillingham will probably be 6'1" - 6'2" and Reed will probably be 6'2"-6'3". Dillingham is wearing combat boots to Sheppard's 1936 Air Owens in this video.

    Why trade Sengun when Sarr would pair nicely

    Depends on workouts. I would want to see more tape. His size doesn’t rule him out but I want to be certain before doing that.
