    I think he will be available at 23. I would not take him with a 1st round pick.

    I'm beginning to respect Jeremiah Robinson-Earl's game more. He could be a dark horse 24th pick imo.
    He is solid, fairly athletic and skilled for a backup 4.
    Low bust potential.

    Evan Mobley
    Jalen Johnson (23 + 24 > 13 + SRP)
    Joe Wisekamp (SRP)

    But I'll take either option below too.

    Guess Rockets do not value Vrenz Bleijenbergh as much as I'd hoped.

    Obviously I'm for Green over Mobley but do you think we get to 13? I honestly don't. I think Kai ends up in the lottery too. Wouldn't mind Jalen at all and eould love Wisekamp in the 2nd

    Dude will be in a rotation for a long time but I'm more inclined to take a shot at the moon at this point in our rebuild.

    That's fine with me. Who do you want to take at 24 that may fit that description?

    I’m intrigued by Isaiah Todd, he’s probably there at 24

    He is intriguing, I admit. His defense is weak, but he can improve.

    Why you even need to dump them? Rox arent gonna be contenders for the emxt 3 years trading picks to dump contracts just dumb AF.

    Who cares if no 2 goes off the bench? Whether he starts or goes off the bench doesnt matter in fact its better cuz if we got the tabk commanders around we will still suck next year and year after.

    Some other prospects I like:

    Isiah Todd - 18 yr old C Wood. Has good size(6'10), athleticism, shooting and the P word however seems to have issues with immaturity. Is too much of a chucker and doesnt do anything that leads to winning...doesnt play def, reb or go hard to basket. Still solvable though he only 18.

    Josh Primo - 18 yr old 2 way player with around the same dimensions as Green. Game is more offball and C&S rather than the shot creation that Green does but hey, thats what we got KPJ for.

    Vrenz B - whats better than a 6'8 pg? How about a 6'10 pg? Lol. Euro Cade could end up being a pretty good player as well. You gotta cut him some slack he plays in a higher league than the NCAA vs actual grown ass men.

    JT Thor - Congo version of Isiah Todd. A lot rawer and prob 2 inches shorter but at least has better motor and isnt afraid to play defense and get a little contact. Heard he tore up the combine too.

    Roko Pracin - euro version of Isiah Todd. Def the most polished among the 3 which is crazy though cuz he is also the youngest.

    Filip Petrusev - Played in the same league as Roko, he isnt an 18 yr old euro league MVP he is a 21 yr old euroleague mvp which is still pretty damh impressive. 6'11 with 6'11 wingspan he shot 41% from 3. Reminds me a lot of Brook Lopez, except with defense and prob a lot more limited in the post. I would reserve one of the picks on this dude very little bust factor and no matter who we pick always need a stretch 5.

    Jaden Springer - another 18 yr old sg with 2 way upside. Only 6'4 and not super athletic but has long ass arms and one of the youngest players in the draft. Really good analytics nos.

    Thats not even saying older guys like Ayo Dusunmu or specialists like Cockburn. DMn I wish rox had like 6 picks and a 20 roster spot.

    Jared Butler was just cleared to play in NBA games. The uncertainty of his medical status might have affected his draft stock before this news. Does this boost him above our picks? He hits 50% of his catch and shoot opportunities. Would anyone be interested in him even with his possible heart condition?

    LOL at Vrenz comments! Well done.

    But Roko is head and shoulders better than Todd IMO, they just have very different games. Todd is soft, Roko is not.
