    I like to consider myself a die hard fan, but it's insane how some of yall can watch every Rockets game... scout college players... watch other teams to see how winning teams are doing and how the rebuilding teams are rebuilding. I'm not saying this as a joke or knock or anything. I've been trying to watch more college ball and I just don't know where some of yall get the time. I'm jealous

    I doubt people are watching every Rockets game? Even when they were good it's hard to watch them all.

    Wait... Am I a bad fan??

    They have to figure out if he is a point guard or a forward first.

    He has really shoot up over the last 6 weeks.

    Mike Schmitz is literally the best PR you can get. He's about to do a 1 on 1 with him I believe.

    I've heard he's a super nice guy too from people who know him IRL.

    What a gem. He makes tanking a lot more fun with his film sessions.

    Jabari’s stock has fallen a bit as more people noticed his lack of off the dribble game…his bag is more free Walmart bag than designer

    good thing we have Stephen Silas for one more year.

    he'll have him dribbling two balls all night and telling him how he coached Steph as a rookie over and over and over and over and over.

    Honestly the tournament doesn't mean that much to me. I would rather a player be better than worse in the tournament but there are a LOT of very good players that were not special in the tournament and are very good in the NBA. Also there have been guys that did really well in the tournament or were on winning teams in the tournament that struggled in the NBA.

    Remember when LeBron got Shabazz Napier drafted and then left for Cleveland?

    I’ve only missed a game or 2, but I’ve fallen asleep during probably about 10 of them…sometimes the abundance of bricks is like melatonin

    and when the white flag is officially thrown and I see the likes of Nwaba checking in with 5 minutes left and the team down 20+, I’m out…I don’t stick around for garbage garbage time, not interested in seeing the ultimate scrubs hoop

    Stephen Silas should be getting credit for Jalen Green’s development, and I say that with my chest

    I actually think he's a great developmental coach.

    I don't care if all the guys he takes credit for would have been there otherwise but LeBron, Steph, Luka and Kemba all having him as rookies means something.

    I also think he knows Xs and Os.

    I just don't think he can handle conflict well and if he is responsible for Oladipo being brought in like many have said? I think should never make personnel decisions again.

    He is a guy that scouts fall in love with because they know that he will be able to do some things at the NBA level, his floor is pretty high.... he is going to stretch the defense, he will hit 3's, he will be at least an above average defender and he will be good in transition. A scout can see he is likely a Rashard Lewis type player that can defend better...... however people are now seeing there are some limitations with him as a ball handler and finisher and are thinking the ceiling isn't as high.

    I would personally still take him third in this draft, but that is just me. I am not as impressed by Banchero as some and I think Griffin is too inconsistent and Sharp hasn't even played.

    Sharpe is the absolute ultimate **** it pick right?

    If a team doesn't fall in love with these consensus top 4 guys and Sharpe enters I could legit see him going first.

    My question is whether or not he would fit next to Jalen here. He has size, he can shoot but is it redundant?

    It's cuz they're full of **** and just watch YouTube highlights here and there. At least I hope that's the case, because otherwise, *******, there's got to be better ways to use one's time.

    There are links on YouTube if you know how to look that gives you full college games.

    I was watching a lot of live stuff early on but later in the season (right around conference tournament time because goodness there were a lot of games to watch in a day) I was skimming through non-prospect minutes of Duke, Auburn and Gonzaga. I did a few games of Purdue but Ivey didn't really blow me away like others are so I maybe did 7 or 8 games.

    Pros?

    I don't care what the teams are doing today. Look to the future because the Rocket's aren't the present.

    I watch every Rockets game that I'm home for because I'm a masochist. Rooting for losses bears much fruit.

    I like the Rashard Lewis comp

    not crazy in love with this draft if I’m being honest

    Chet is my guy, and then the rest got issues…Chet has his problems too
