    Most likely to be an All Star?

    All four will be All Stars....there I said it.

    So then?

    I just love this movie every year: it's the end of the world, our ship is out of control & inches away from the sun, while the family is on the 80th floor of a crumbling building, and alligators everywhere!!

    So let's hurry hurry and pick the guy I want.

    Used car salesman tactic.

    The sun will come up tomorrow, remain calm

    Spacing would be horrific lol. Along with interior defense.

    Also Sengun and Banchero operate in the same space creating redundancy

    Worked out splendidly last year AMAZINGLY. What’s gonna happen Chet or Jabari gonna catch feelings too and skip workouts and not want to play here ala Mobley if this leak is true? (I doubt it myself)

    If Paolo IS Stones guy who is anyone here to second guess him? I just wonder if Paolo would get shat on next year while Chet and Jabari fans jump around? What do you think? ;)

    If we do take Paolo we better take one of these dudes and get something mindblowingly good for fan favorite Al-P.

    Do you think Mark Williams is more likely to be a 'Gobert' than Chet?

    For me that is the potential that Williams brings to the table. Super fast footwork defensively and loooong

    I don’t think either will but Williams is more likely to be Gobert.

    Williams is far more likely to be Gobert. He’s a true center, doesn’t offer much on the perimeter but can be a defensive anchor inside

    LOL are you really still thinking Holmgren is Garnett keep doing that so everybody can laugh at you.

    Please tell us why you think Garnett is a comp for Garnett, how do you think they are alike.

    He made that comp in passing and before the College season started and his exact words were he SORT of reminds me of a YOUNG Garnett.

    It's amazing you have held on to that for this long, nobody else has made that comparison, and even he was not saying it strongly.

    You know what he did not say? That Banchero reminded him of J Randle and that he thought Banchero was worthy of the #1 pick so why are you picking and choosing what you want to hear?

    Here is the actual video so no need have selective hearing.



    You are a joke.

    So put Tate on the bench where he belongs and I am not picking somebody in the top 10 because they do or don't fit with Sengun who has not established if he starting material yet.

    And Sengun is my favorite player on the Rockets but talent wins out.

    I don't think he is very fluid but that's debatable I can name 4 more fluid big men in the NBA right now.

    Giannis
    Mobley
    Embid
    Durant

    I'm reluctant to put anything negative about any of these players. Let me just
    put a little disclaimer that I think the Rockets development staff can improve on
    any flaws in any of these players.......fitting our system.

    Banchero : is blank at the moment

    ________________
    So yes defense is important, but I like Jabari vs so many Power Conference teams ( 26 games )
    vs Chet numbers vs Power Conference teams ( 7 games)

    Jabari steps off the bus shooting and doesn't need a lot of plays run his way.

    No, you’re a joke.
    He’s said it multiple times in podcasts as well.
    You talk so much trash about Chet but love Mobley, it’s weird. You’ve even admitted you haven’t watched him much, it’s just your biased opinion.
    You lie constantly. You need attention all the time and play contrarian for the sake of playing contrarian.
    You have no knowledge whatsoever and when you get called out on it you either deflect or move goalposts.

    You really need some therapy.

    Giannis is the only one that is faster by a significant amount.
    Mobley and Chet are comparable.
    Embid is great for his size but is no where near Chet mobility.
    KD is not a great athlete.

    Now you are just trolling.

    Since you think this site holds so much weight, here you go.

    Again.

    https://www.nbadraft.net/players/chet-holmgren/

    NBA Comparison: Kristaps Porzingis

    So that site has Holmgren going 4th Banchero #1 and Holmgren with an even worse comp than Banchero but you on here thumping your chest looking like a fool.

    Stop embarrassing yourself, talk about idiotic.

    Somebody come get this fool.
