    Worth the risk imo.

    Trade for MPJ, tank for top 4, go from there!

    I thought Franz Wagner was a 2nd rounder.

    Has he moved up that much?

    He is a more skilled player than his brother Moritz IMO.

    Just not as good a finisher.

    MPJ is likely better than any pick in this draft IMO.

    As a general rule, always draft best available, not on need.

    Can you post the evidence? I always thought this was a baseless conspiracy theory but I'm open to listening if the evidence exists.

    Could not agree more.

    Always draft best player available.

    You can always trade him for best player of need later.

    u can draft based on need if you’re a good team and have some pick in the twenties

    The Rockets? They better take BPA, and placeholders like Wall and even guys like KPJr shouldn’t factor into who they select.

    Michigan is surging hot right now & Wagner is spiking and a big part of that.. He doesn't have a quick release like Kispert but you can't leave him open like his brother.

    Kispert to me is a cross between Christian Laettner and Klay Thompson......only he makes in the NBA because he is more Klay Thompson.
    than C.L. I do feel Franz handles the ball on the court better than most players above 6'7" and passes well. A commentator said his passing
    is Larry Bird like......which is what I was exactly thinking as I watched him.

    I can’t believe there are losers who still root for the Houston Tilmans.

    is this who you think is number 1?

    I’m curious your thoughts D Rock-

    And how would you compare this draft to other drafts?

    I like Cade a lot
    But I’m not sold he is the number one cat
    Jalen Suggs and Kuminga will challenge for it - maybe even
    Mobley

    and it
    Would be really cool If a player like a d Wade comes out of nowhere in the tournament and jumps up here and joins this top-five of talent

    Back in 2003 it was all about Carmelo versus LeBron

    And then late in the tournament Dwyane Wade joined the party

    Glass half empty huh?

    You don’t know basketball very well clearly

    What on gods earth over the last 10 games would make you go from being pro tank to antitank that makes absolutely no sense FYI

    Wouldn't it be ironic if Rockets did by some miracle get the 1st pick and draft Evan Mobley or Kuminga.

    LOL
