Maybe. Cade was a lock at 1, so the first real decision was on the Rockets at 2. Mocks now are all over the place.
yeah my post pertains specifically to this thread's topic of the draft workouts, ie. who's impressed and what our preferences might be if available. he's shared such insight in years past
Sharpe worked out for the Thunder. Even though Thunder didn't officially announce. His camp (not OKC) is telling media groups including ESPN that Sharpe would love to go to OKC, if not 2nd pick, happy with 12th. Reasons cited he likes the development opportunities there. Most don't think he'll fall that far, possibly damage control since he fell off a few spots on people's boards. The days before the draft, lot of smokescreen.
Lidell is one of my favorite players in this draft. I think he should be on a very short list under consideration if he’s there at #17. He can spread the floor; he can play 3/4. He’s a complete player; a two-way player. Underrated athleticism. He’s gonna be good.
if we add Paolo and EJ Lidell to the list above is it comprehensive? we are clearly looking at big wings. Hope we don’t draft for need over BPA (except guys who can only play the 2).
No. I doubt anybody but the Rockets have a comprehensive list of players they've worked out. The only lists you'll see on the Internet are lists that are aggregated from other sources where the information may have dropped. Y'all need to quit stressing and just wait for draft day when we draft people we've never heard of or trade our picks. I mean we've already declared every person in the draft a possibility of being drafted by the Rockets by now. Less than a week left...
No. We've moved on from Chandler. Chandler was really early on the hype wagon. We've gone through the Jabari, Chet, Ivey, Sharpe, Griffin, etc. waves since then, too. I believe there were small Jalen Duren, Walker Kessler, Benedict Mathurin waves, too. Currently we're on a Tari Eason and Dyson Daniels wave. There is currently also some turbulence centered around TyTy Washington, Malaki Branham, and Nikola Jovic... with secondary waves of Jalen Williams, Blake Wessley, and Christian Braun trying to form. You will just have to find someone else to latch onto! These names have already been beaten to death.
BTW, if you're interested, this is a list Ben DuBose seems to maintain where he at least gives a source for the information. I'd rather trust something where a source is given : https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/20...-have-interviewed-or-worked-out-with-rockets/
@Clutch retweeted a post that was a deep dive into Dyson Daniels. Well worth the read, posted below (maybe someone's already posted it here?). What surprised me a bit was how the Ignite played their season this past year. They were on the road literally the entire time and Neema makes a good point that it didn't do the players any favors. Like Daniels, Beauchamp had to adapt to that. Found it an interesting take.
