    Christopher was a victim of circumstance, a victim of Silas, Stone and the Rockets spamming the draft and coming up with thousands of rookies.

    You also said "but not in the talent evaluation department". Maybe slowdown and sound out the words next time before typing an entire book. And stop inhaling that copium it's bad for you.

    Using all 4 picks that first year followed by 3 the 2nd year was probably 2 too much.

    Thank the good lord that this Morning Zippo poster has nothing to do with the Rockets scouting team. My goodness, he couldn’t have been more wrong with his evaluation.

    I had Cam at 4, Lively at 20....as my top 2....and Amen I liked better than Scoot if Cam wasn't there...getting 2 of my top players was good.

    Scoot is crap. I never understood the hype. His athleticism is crazy overrated and he can’t shoot for shii.

    DD….people giving you a hard time, but I do remember you being behind taking Cam and being high on him as a player.

    Scoot averaged 16-17 points a game in g-league and Cam was averaging almost 29 a game in g-league at same age. Scoot’s decent, but I wasn’t wowed with the guy on draft night wearing 10 pounds of chains and not sounding extremely intelligent in his interview. Have a feeling he’s going to enjoy the club scene and high life more than working tediously on his game.

    Awaiting your apology.

    Pass. Give me a couple more. Preferably something where you are effusive of the player.

    I said he was my pick.....I give you kudos for wanting him over Miller.....on page 16....ish.

    Whatever, I am happy in my knowledge - and you also seem to have gotten it right, after me of course, we are both just lucky he is a Rocket.....

    In fairness, DD also said on page 14 that he’d take Cam over Amen. He appeared to be a bit higher on Lively, but still liked Cam.

    Agree, let’s all just be thrilled that he miraculously fell 15 slots back to us. In time, he could be this town’s next star.

    Personally didn't like Scoot because he had Wemby's injury risk while being a foot shorter. I thought he was no 2 though, cuz nobody seems to care about health and longevity as long as they give instant results.
