    Hated it at the time but it has worked out. I have a hard time seeing the Brooklyn pick in 2027 outside the top 8. Suns picks also looking good.

    This has an impact on “our” picks

    If he’s healthy he’s a good player and could be a good piece for them.

    Harden, Jalen, Dillon, Maluach, 5 second round picks for a 37-year-old aging star and a bust.

    PHX traded for Williams, who won't stay healthy.
    And, drafted Maluach, who looked like a scared kid against UH. Sòft and Busty!
    They are so screwed.

    Along with BKN rebuilding....

    Our picks are Golden!

    Mark Williams also had one of the worst defensive ratings in the league, even though his supposed specialty is defense/rebounding.

    His lack of awareness/IQ/positioning is something that's not teachable. And Maluach basically has the same issues but with absolutely no rebounding sense whatsoever. They can get away with it at Duke when surrounded by other 5 star recruits going up against players half their size. But they are busty beyond belief in the NBA and seems like every year some dumbass team falls for the same trap, like clockwork.

    Not that I complaining as a Rockets fan :D

    I like KD, but wish we hadn’t given up Jalen. This is a mistake that will haunt us for a long time.

    Amen is better. Sengun is already an all star. Whats done is done time to move on.

    Jalen is also at fault for being too comfortable and not taking his offseason work seriously. Very little to no statistical improvement for 4 years. Got way to distracted being the King Rocket and thinking he will always be here no matter how badly he plays.

    The big mistake was taking Green over Mobley...and others.

    Besides that, Stone has done a helluva job.
