    WTF I JUST LOOKED THEM UP AND THEY ARE REAL.

    This dude is really named Ariel Washington Hukporti. I refuse to believe that Keegan Peele didn't invent that name.

    Liking Greg Brown with one of the 2 low FRP more and more.

    Skinny but plays with ferocity and power.

    Very physical and strong even at 206 to defend 5's, fast and agile enough to just swallow guards.

    Uber explosive, long, nasty attitude.



    Brown already has chemistry with Cade, played together in HS.

    Honestly, if the Rockets aren't taking a good hard look at L'Carpetron Dookmarriott or Hingle McCringleberry then Stone needs to be fired.

    Silver better warm those lottery balls for us. Its bs we have been victim of 2 forced trades. If we dont get Cade we just flipped two not so long ago mvps for Wall and Olynyk

    Queta is poor man’s Joel Embiid without 3 point shot.

    I really like his stats but I think it might be over valued due to weak Conference?

    A Cade Cunningham Rockets Jersey would do wonders for Tillman!

    I believe you will have to convince him to do that. Tilman chose the explosive Russ over the more fundamentally sound Chris Paul.

    He might tell Stone to pick Green over Cade.
    I like Green, I'm confident he can be an all star. I think Cade is wiser and his overall skill set is very sound for a rookie.

    Yes, he is. That might give him the edge. Thanks.

    Yes, I think many of the second rounders are a bargain. I wouldn't blame the Rockets
    for skipping out on a point guard or shooting guard in the first, knowing that there are
    so many guards to fall back on. A year for them to develop while Wall eats up minutes
    this season.

    Possible 2nd rounders
    Guards

    Chris Duarte (6'6" and 42.4% from 3)
    Miles McBride (6'2" and 41.4% from 3)
    Aaron Henry (6'6" and 34.4% from 3 season prior)
    Nah'shon Hyland (6'3")
    JaQuori McLaughlin (6'4" and 40.5% from 3, 94.5 DRtg, 3 stls per game)
    Marcus Garrett (6'5" and 35% from 3)
    Tyson Etienne (6'2" and 39.2% from 3)
    Scottie Lewis (6'5" and 32% from 3)
    [in no particular order]

    SF
    I'm real high on Johnny Juzang (6'7" SF that will be a solid player slash All Star candidate)

    PF
    Trendon Watford (6'9") a better DJ Wilson

    C's
    Filip Petrusev (7'0"), Badji (7'1"), Neemias Queta (7'0"), Sandro Mamukelashvili (6'11"),


    I'm sure I'm missing someone; but this is why I've been testing the waters on trading House,
    Bradley, Exum, DJ Wilson and even Augustin.

    Just to make everyone think about a Mobley and Woods combo. Watching the playoffs every team has a 5 banger or someone that can play

    Mobley will get abused his first 2-3 seasons. He is not the big you are thinking about.

    Cade is from Dallas - I struggle to call that part of Texas and will treat him like a red headed stepchild until he proves himself in my eyes if he finds himself a Rocket.
