    Well today I've posted a scenario in which the Rockets drafted Ivey.
    Providing the Rockets with a 3-headed monster in Ivey-Green-Porter starting
    and Josh Christopher coming off the bench. Rockets could have two
    good facilitators on the court at all times. Any two of Ivey-Green-Porter-Christopher
    combination.

    That's probably more assist production than one CP3 backed up
    by Cameron Payne or whoever. Or Kyrie backed up by Patty Mills.
    48-minutes of attacking the rim. Eventually the "Pure" PG's need to
    take a rest.

    But if I miss on Ivey can I get by with Eric Gordon proving cover fire and becoming
    our 3-pt specialist like he was a few years with Harden before? Hopefully the
    tanking is over and EGo, Wood, Porter don't have to freeze out Jalen Green
    anymore and we can just pass the ball freely to everyone. No tank commanders.

    Try to buy time with Wood as he is a very good 3-pt shooter for his height and
    lob threat in PnR. This only helps the young kids with spacing.

    If I (Rockets) miss out on Jabari, Chet, Banchero, or Ivey.......I'm going with Keegan Murray.
    I like the 6'8" frame with Sean Elliot-Rudy Gay shooting extended to 3-point line.
    I'm hoping Tate and Kenyon can further improve their 3-point shooting over the summer;
    But I'm leaning towards providing 3-pt shooting for spacing and added length or wingspan.

    With the Nets pick go for rim protection: Mark Williams, Kessler.

    Of course this is today......give me time to study all prospects. Still pending.


    23.5 points...8.7 rebs...1.5 asts....1.9 Blks...1.3 stls...39.8% (3P%)

    Danny Granger comp is fair

    Hopefully our Joker won't do anything stupid at PG next year.

    So does this mean Green taking shots at KPJ if he has Ivey in his top 3?

    No, I don't. I do want to go with a player with potential star ability if available, rather than a safe pick. I think Ivey will be gone by the 4th pick. I like him.

    I'm personally going with Murray at 5. High floor, good defender, great 3 point shot, etc. In a lot of ways, he's exactly who we need next to KPJ and Green.

    Lol my first thought was "I hope the Rockets don't pass on Jabari because Jalen didn't bring him up" lmao how ridiculous is that.

    Draft Jabari and sign Ayton to the max and we’re ready to contend in a couple years.

    I'm a "no" on Wood unless they can get through his head that he is not the alpha and he can't keep stop guarding his man and rotate his man to a guard. Wood has the skills, just the wrong mentality.

    Whenever I see Chet, I always feel like his head is too big for his body for some reason.

    Of course, that would be the mindset necessary.

    That high octane Mavs offense in 19/20 had everyone sharing the ball. Spearheaded by Doncic.

    Wood has to accept he is not Doncic.
