    he's a combo guard. he shoots 31% from college 3. those numbers will improve. Dylan Harper is a SG and sitting at 33% and is a lock at #2.

    Most draft sites have had him in the top 5 most of the season.

    Hope it is not one of those College shooters......we had good and bad Lithuanian players.....Nik Stauskas being a bad one.

    Most that were good were big men.

    he can’t shoot and he can’t defend. Do not want.

    I’d like that to happen so we could taunt Ishbia on how stupid he is. That’s sweeter than actually getting Flagg as a player.

    The description of the kind of team he wants to build--tough, hard-nosed, etc. sure sounds like our Rockets.

    I'm not sure he'll be there at 9-10, but I would use one of our other picks to move up and get him.

    probably a little strong. I was disappointed in the shooting this season.

    His offense reminds me of Goran Dragic.

    Will be a fun discussion about who to draft but....

    We don't have the playing time to develop a top ten draft pick. Get future picks to move back and take an international prospect this year? Noa Essengue?

    I like him and Carter Bryant. I'm not sure who will be the better pro prospect.

    Rasheer Fleming as Jatari insurance in case one of them ends up in a trade.

    If there is no clear trade available, then the Rockets should just draft Jase Richardson (Jason Richardson's son). Good fit for the team, a 41% 3pt shooter, and mocked at go between 10 and 13 in the lottery.

    if we get pick 2 to 4 we need to trade into 2026 draft with a good shot at another lottery pick in 26 and sliding to future years if 26 pick doesnt wind up a lottery pick

    I know we cannot trade for a guaranteed lottery pick but we could possibly find a deal that would give us 2 to 3 years to get the opportunity at a top lottery pick

    push the assets out down the road if no flags and upgrade along the way while increasing cap flexibility and avoiding the tax until we are actually in striking range of the finals
