    Dillon Mitchell to the Rockets in the 2nd round. I'm calling it now. Good switch defensive minded forward who can't shoot at all. He's exactly the kind of player this team likes. Get him on the floor at the same time as Amen and Sengun and you'll have one of the ugliest shooting lineups imaginable.

    Done. Deal!

    If the Rockets draft Sharp, I will be hyping him up. Not sure if he will ever be a starter. May not even be rotation. I do expect he will hang around a while in the NBA as he can shoot, and isn't a nothing on defense even though he's short.

    This is probably the kiss of death on this board, but he reminds me of FVV without PG skills. He's not tied to the three-point line such that he's often way behind it, making it harder for his man to play nail or help. Defensively, he's short, but got a little stockiness to him. He played up the defensive spectrum in college so may be able to have some of that in the NBA. If Amen is going to be on the ball a lot, a guy that can defend smaller players, with deep range, and limited PG skills may work.

    True. Also, many people seem to forget the Rockets got Sengun with the 16th pick.

    I'll take Dillon Mitchell. Having some athleticism would be helpful. he also can't shoot so he's exactly the type of player Stone loves.

    He's the pick. If he's available, which he will be because he absolutely cannot shoot the basketball, they're going to take him...

    I’d be happy if they picked one of Emanuel Sharp or Milos Uzan in the 2nd round. Considering who would be left by the time they got to pick, they would be stupid not too..

    Keyshawn Hall and Baba Miller would be good pickups. Hall, in particular would be a great get. 6’7” athletic wing that can handle the ball and has the strength to defend. This guy is a lot like Tari Eason, but with better handles and perhaps a better shooter coming out of college.

    FVV only has PG skills. Without them, he's pretty much like any of us. :D

    He only has some pg skills. A pg that can’t get to the rim and finish in this era of the NBA is borderline worthless.
