    They want us to draft Banchero....so they can laugh at us later.

    They are going to enjoy Banchero and Sengun getting torched
    every play defensively.

    And then say.....you coulda had and passed on Ja Morant (Ivey) !!
    You (Rockets) big dummies.

    You would think with the amount of hate the teams in Houston get, that it would be because they are super dominant and win a lot of championships.

    But Houston only has 3 championships..

    I don't watch or listen to most national media outlets because they either won't talk about Houston, or when they do it's just negative more often than not.

    Haha ok.

    Just one last thing.....when the national media pushing for the Rockets to
    go after Player A.....I go with Player B or C.

    I've learned that a while back

    What was Paolo's DRtg without Mark Williams covering his back....

    or Wendell Moore (6'8") and AJ Griffin (6'6") flanking him?

    *Mark Williams (7'0") and 93 DRtg

    Well when you beat the Knicks in the Finals, the New York media is going to forever hate you. When you beat Lakers in the WCF a few years before that the L.A. media is going to forever hate you. Now if only there was a Houston media hub.

    Only right before the draft and Suggs and Mobley refused to workout

    Before then it was a 4 man race (including Scottie Barnes)

    @Houston77

    Not that you are interested in the topic anymore but I went through the
    trouble of looking it up:

    Duke
    Mark Williams 93.2 DRtg
    Banchero 98.1 DRtg
    Wendell Moore (6'5") 101.2 DRtg
    AJ Griffin 102.3 DRtg

    Jeremy Roach 105.2 DRtg
    Keels 103.2 DRtg
    ___________________
    Purdue
    Zach Edey 96.3 DRtg
    Trevion Williams 93.8 DRtg

    Ivey 102.5 DRtg (21/22) but was 100.5 DRtg (20/21)
    Stefanovich 108.2 DRtg
    Eric Hunter 107.2 DRtg

    Comparing defense by front court vs back court players might be a little skewed as
    they are being asked to do different things and different spacing in the interior
    vs perimeter.

    Kenny and other still have to tell the media that MJ was there in 95
    He wore 45 and lost to Orlando

    MJ not playing in 95 while he was breaking tv ratings in his comeback is the greatest mass lie that the media fed to the population of human beings in the history of the world
    @Clutch
    @Jontro @J.R. @Reeko @Jontro

    still amazed when people say MJ wasn’t there when millions of people saw it in 95

    @Rocket River

    @Xerobull

    I was rooting so bad for the bulls to win so we can ransack them and Dream go for 50 each night

    95 playoff Dream is the best basketball player ever
