    Kentucky Track record of Guards:
    bledsoe
    Herro
    gilgeous
    Monk
    Fox
    Uleis
    Murray
    Dbook


    for a guy you draft you want him to have this kind of work ethic

    if you want a culture change. It starts with guys like this. Because they are the ones that will push for your future draft picks to work harder as well

    I wouldn't mind him at all at the 16th.

    Edit: I didn't realize he is listed at 6'3", and might be 6'1''. I thought he was 6' 5''. He wouldn't be my first choice but he is pretty good.
    Want a guy with more upside, as a first choice.

    I hope the Rockets Draft a Real Point Guard.

    James Harden and Russell Westbrook are not Point Guards. They are Shooting Guards, Playoffs has shown that.

    it's been so long since i've paid attention to a draft all of these players look good idk who to be excited about lol

    but Achiuwa definitely ticks some boxes. Big, defensive forward who can step out and make 3s. We've done worse in the late teens for freaking sure.

    I know, but that works both ways, if there’s a better big there don’t pigeon hole yourself to a guard.

    Maxey is my favorite non-rocket player. Would’ve been nice to have him on this team but I’m glad he’s flourishing over there in Philly more now that Harden isn’t there anymore. Gonna be a star soon.

    The problem is some guys reveal themselves as the best player in their 4th, 5th year.

    This is only a momentary Best Prospect Available. Even then it is not really clear who is best.....as people play different styles and positions.
