    he’s guaranteed to be productive offensively. The defense looks really bad. But great late lotto pick for someone.

    13 and 22 from the Hawks for 10 and 59 plus another 2nd pick sounds okay to me.

    Feels like Rockets should be moving up or out. If top 10 prospects in 23 and 24 can't get minutes, then 13 and 22 seem bleak.

    We shouldn't be giving up #59. We should be getting more second round picks, or even a future first.

    That's a bad deal for Houston.

    Has Bailey dropping to 6

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45515479/2025-nba-mock-draft-59-picks-trade-talks-heat-30-teams


    10. Houston Rockets (via Phoenix)

    Carter Bryant, SF/PF, Arizona
    Freshman | TS%: 59.9

    Height without shoes: 6-6½ | Weight: 214
    Standing reach: 8-10 | Wingspan: 6-11¾

    Bryant has received strong reviews throughout the predraft process. He appears likely to hear his name called somewhere in the 9-to-15 range, with several teams likely to be attracted to the frontcourt shooting, defensive versatility, and passing prowess he offers. Bryant wasn't consistently productive for Arizona coming off the bench, averaging 6.5 points per game, as he's not much of a shot creator, and has plenty of room for growth on both ends of the floor.

    The Rockets, flush with young prospects, might not be ultimately picking here, as the possibility of adding a proven veteran will likely be thoroughly explored. Fresh off an outstanding season that concluded with the NBA's fourth-best record (52-30) and flush with young talent throughout the roster, it's challenging to pinpoint specific needs for the Rockets, aside from perhaps addressing Fred VanVleet's team option.

    Rival teams expect Houston's front office to be active the week of the draft. -- Givony

    I'd do it for Topic and 15. I think he has a lot of upside.

    Or Cason Wallace + 24 instead of Topic + 15.

    OKC has a full roster and a plethora of FRPs in the upcoming drafts. At some point, OKC will need to reshape their roster. That might mean that they move on from players they like-not-love. Wallace and his 8.4 ppg might fit that category. :shrug:

    Are you concerned that the Rockets G League team is not competitive enough?

    I'd like to somewhat copy them. Why I love the 10th pick with guys that are supposed to have great court vision and passing ability in Kasparas and Egor. If they improve the 3 pt shot, would be ideal.
