    Never thought I see Aaron Rodgers with a Rockets cap on:

    I do not like this pick. I pray either Dekker proves me wrong, or he gets bundled into a trade for a 3rd star/added piece to help us win a ship.

    All Aaron Rogers photos should include the discount double check.

    Everyone is comparing him to Chandler Parsons, but I see a guy who looks bigger, more athletic than parsons, and with a better shooting stroke. Maybe he doesn't have the natural playmaking ability but this dude is going to be huge in the new small ball NBA.

    A junior from a big program, well coached, versatile, has skills, high motor, and a winner. I'm surprised he fell actually.

    D-Mo was pretty much calling Orlando Dwight Howard out before he ever stepped foot on a NBA court.

    Jerian Grant... or even Tyus Jones. Even if we get a Llull, or trade for an established PG, I still believe either of those players not only better addressed a need (and right now, we do not have any PGs)... I also believe they were both better "BPA"s.

    I hope he pans out, and I believe IMWT, but the Rockets draft history has not instilled a lot of confidence in that aspect of Morey's performance.

    I have to agree he looks like 6-10/11 to me tbh. And he has some handles + nice shot. He's bound to be good defender, if he can stay in-front of his man, his height will bother a lot of players (same reason DMo became +defender). He can definitely play behind Ariza of the bench for like 20mins. And with DMo in Center, Dekker in PF and Ariza in SF, you have deadly stretch floor + still some nice defense.
