I feel like all 3 FOs got the best guy for them. Orlando needed an alpha cuz they have lots of 2ndary guys on their team so taking Banchero makes a lot of sense. Holmgren is the best player if you disregard his health risk so 100% Presti gonna take him. Smith is exactly who the Rox needed he unlocks Sengun at the center spot.
Because he can shoot. Allows Sengun to have space down low and also he has the potential to be a big taht can switch onto guards which also will protect Sengun Paolo is not a great 3 point shooter, who knows if he'll get there, the spacing on offense and the defense were going to be an issue with Sengun on the floor. I think Jabari just fits better with Sengun (Chet does too) Paolo was the worst pick out of the three because of Sengun. Doesn't mean I wouldn't have drafted Paolo, but it would have been an odd fit.
hes a dead eye shooter, can defend all positions, doesn't need the ball. When you have sengun, green and KPJ you dont need another player dominating the ball.
Rockets were lucky to even get a top 3 pick. and now we're getting a guy who was #1 on most experts mock drafts.............. Not only that...Woj reporting Kyrie wants out now...... Astros up on the Yanks in NY This is a glorious day for Houston!!
Did not like the organization could not bring the kid in before the workout. That's all. I have nothing against the player or the pick. It happened last year too.
My question is: when will Ousmane Dieng go? Some have him going as high as 10 and others dropping to the Rockets. I would be elated.
This is the best case scenario! Played out how it should. Banchero and Sengun felt redundant. Holmgren’s frailty was a concern. Smith is a TWO WAY player perfect for todays NBA. I’m pumped the Rox got him and didn’t fall for the “hey, Rockets…we’re taking Paolo price hike” Stone stayed the course and will be rewarded for it. WATCH! Can’t wait to see pick 17 and 26 (or what they do with them)
I think if The Rockets would have had the number 1 pick they take Jabari... This is insane... I think we might be witnessing history.... Tomorrow morning thou, no backsies...
Kinda changes up who I thought we'd need at 17 and 26. Playmakers? Jalen Williams Jovic Love the draft!
