    Thanks for posting Clutch. It’s definitely a Super exciting day for the Rockets organization.

    Catapulting all the way into the top 3 picks is huge. It guarantees the Rockets will be in the position to select one the top 3 guys in their own personal draft board. And I think it could be significant, even in a supposedly weaker draft class.

    Scouting in Europe is probably biggest take away.

    Surely you don't expect him to say "yeah, we really want Sarr and are hoping to trade up and get him"??

    Like, what sort of moron would he be if he says anything of substance on a publicly available recording??

    Of course he says nothing. That is good.

    I think they probably take Sarr and hope him and Okongwu can play together (which means Clint is available but do we need him now that we have Adams)

    You could be right though, he's in the mix. Wash could also take him, but I see a lot of overlap with Coulibaly in a number of ways.

    he doesn’t have to show his cards to give a decent interview. he could have elaborated on the evaluation process, the team needs, the growth he expects from certain players this summer etc etc. instead we got 20min of ummm ummm you know you know ummmmm

    At least he did not start his humor as he used to do.

    Daryl was much funnier than he is.

    Risacher can easily switch to being a PF if he needs to but to answer your take....

    I would prefer Risacher over Bilal.......and move him to the bench if needs to.

    Wizards suck anyways no matter whom they take this time around.

    I had a fun time imagining him without WIFI and trying to figure out which pick the Rockets got out of the Top 4.

    Thanks for posting. Unfortunately I’ll never enjoy listening to the guy talk.

    Ha! I never put myself in the queue to ask a question (the raised hand icon). What I wanted answered (different approach in the draft, BPA vs. fit) was answered somewhat early so I never requested.
