Get best shooter or a bona-fide defensive menace... Unfortunately I couldn't name 2 guys in this draft so I'll leave that kinda nauseating projection stuff to the CF GMs.. cause everybody wants somebody that they've never seen play..lol.. Youtube Highlight video views bout to go through the roof lol
Clingan would be my pick. A true big man who can protect the paint and catch lobs. I know Adams is coming back but he's probably a rental and he's injury prone. But I don't know how that frontcourt would work. We need Jabari for his spacing but Sengun isn't a defensive 5.
Everybody sucks this draft don't even worry about it. Jaime Jaquez was 18 last year and would go #1 easily. Sarr is the most interesting but looks Wiseman raw.
We have people like Victor and Chet that are over 7 foot. We can’t keep worrying about our shorter roles!!!!!!! If we don’t have one good tall defender then we are just gonna get destroyed by those players.
This pick goes out in a deal for a young star. That's our play. That's where it's greatest value lies anyway.
There's several that could be there and Risacher or Sheppard would be greatly beneficial to the team from day one with their shooting ability alone....something a lot of our players lack. I see no reason to pass up a #3 overall pick.
They should trade the #3 pick along with FVV and Dillon Brooks in a multi-team trade to acquire 4 future 1st round picks (2 from each of the other teams in the trade), 4 1st round pick swaps (2 from each of the other teams), and expiring contracts plus trade exceptions. The other two teams would obviously be contenders trying to win now - ideally someone like the lakers who will fall off a cliff once Lebron and AD are washed, which might very well be next year.
The team isn't one guy away and it's highly unlikely that any team will want to move an actual star for the #3 pick. It's better to just take the pick and hope you can finally land a star....or at least a quality player. I don't think we can count on Tari for the future and I don't think we can bet on Jalen ever learning how to play basketball. If you pick a shooter like Sheppard, it can help unlock guys like Sengun and give FVV another guy he can pass to. It just makes too much sense to use the pick and too little to trade it.
Clutch is wetting his pants talking about 'rim protector' Clingan rn. Maybe finally the Rockets are replacing Senbum?
Rockets need shooting. Whatever they do, they need to get a shooter. Each at #3, trading back or trading for a "star". I don't understand the Clingan obsession, especially with Sengun. Any center with Sengun has to have 3 pt shot. I also don't see any reasonable, acquirable star they can net with mainly the #3 pick. I don't see how Donovan Mitchell fit with the current players given he has to be ball dominant. I don't think Dejounte Murray moves the needle that much. And I would stay far away from Trae Young and Devin Booker.
Draft a big, Rockets need size Draft a shooter, can always use that End of day.... Take the best player on your big board and call it a day
