    Jalen Green is plug and play into this lineup. Cade would have been great with his defense and play making, but Green is going to sell the jerseys. You’ll see.

    I wish Mobley wasn’t so skinny. Cade was an easy #1 selection, but #2 is tough.

    Jalen has way more potential than Suggs, no thanks. I'd take Mobley before Suggs. We can find some old veterans if your looking for leadership.

    So true. This is a huge win for the Rockets organization. It prevented a horrid Paul for Westbrook trade from looking that much worse, and getting to a complete disaster. But I wonder "Wow", could Morey have been hoping for one last FU moment for the Rockets, after the Rockets refused to send him Harden to the '76ers...

    I'm glad for the Rockets, very glad.

    The black lady's reaction was hilarious.

    This reeked of riggedness. The darlings of the NBA get 2 picks, the warriors. Okc gets 5th pick since they have 16 picks. Hakeem is there to draft a center like him. Toronto's star Kawhi left them. Pistons and Cleveland are trash and everyone feels sorry for them

    Swift could not shoot like Mobley or defend but size wise I get it.

    I think it's the other way around though too. You still need a really good big. If he's there you may as well take them...and if that big is versatile and have skills? Then that's something that can never be topped.

    I'd rather have a 7'0 skilled guy vs a 6'4 skilled guy, yeah, even in this league as of now.

    Not saying we don't need guards, just that I think he has the highest upside of guys left on the board. I'm going to be fine with whoever we draft though. I've learned it's silly to make concrete guesses about any of these guys, it's a crapshoot at the end of the day.

    I'm team Mobley...well, team Cade first but Mobley 2nd then Suggs.

    This is the correct mentality!

    And keep the best talent surrounding the nucleus.

    To be fair Cade is not a generational type talent either

    My guy have you watched any tape of Green. He looks really really good, versatile, and you can play him with Porter Jr.

    Maybe Cade forces his way to Houston.

    Exactly. Have him work with Dream and perhaps even CD. Evan's going to be a beast.

    Our signed players atm

    Wood
    Mobley. MartinJr
    Tate. House
    Gordon. Bradley. Thomas
    PorterJr. Wall. Augustin

    The 23 24 picks will help
    But lots of tradeable guards on the roster.
