    Why would it matter if theyre white? Morey should obsess with drafting guys like the macus morris', the Terrence Williams, the Jermaine Taylors and of course the Royce Whites right?

    I heard Allen will just stick out his foot and try and slow down the other teams ahead of us

    Chandler stopped himself from being an all-time great. If that's not good defense then I don't know what is.

    Rockets shoot the most 3's in the NBA and you're surprised the GM always keeps at least one white guy on the team at all times?

    Only slightly more believable than Steve Kyler.

    Morey is awful in lottery draft.

    I think the Rockets will trade their pick away

    As long as we don’t give up Eric Gordon I would be ok with this

    Allen is a guard.

    Again I don’t see how we possibly get into the top 20 for a player that we want to keep. I get it if we were trading an EG to package for a Lebron trade. But we are not trading an EG or a PJ for a mid to late 1st rounder just so we can get a Grayson Allen. How would CP feel about that?

    No first round picks + few assets = little chance.

    We will never know Morey's mind. If we move up, Morey will draft someone unexpected and there's a good chance the draftee will be a great pick.

    Jimmer Fredette was and is a better player.

    Are we trading to the 45th Pick? That’s where I value him.

    To be fair, Chandler was a good defender in his rookie year. Once he started to pay attention to offense, he started to neglect defense.

    It will be a horror show if EG is traded for him.
