We all know that any or if not all of our 3 picks could easily be included in a package for a Star player. Some of you would rather keep em and some of you could care less. So if you had to choose one of these 3 rookies we drafted (Lamb,White,Jones).. Who'd be your favorite and see being good in the NBA?
I'm most intrigued by Royce, but I fear he doesn't have a natural position in the NBA and will have a hard time to get on the floor. So I voted for Lamb, because I think he will play big minutes this year and might turn into a star... Plus we don't have that big of a logjam at the guard position...
I think Royce is a guy that will never be a starter but will get minutes and be loved by the fans. He'll always make plays when he gets into the game but his defense will keep him from being in the starting 5.
Same thing they said about Rubio. I love this. Can't wait to see Royce's impact when he's in the game.
I have an idea who Kevin McHale's favorite rookie might be among the 2012 draftees: http://houston.cbslocal.com/2012/06/29/hoiberg-royce-white-is-a-top-ten-talent/ https://twitter.com/Highway_30/status/218938424231596034
I like WHite and Lamb, how they don't get traded for a trade up. I was really down on Lamb because of his horrible interview and the fact that he seemed more of a volume shooter than an actual efficient scorer in college, but I now I think he may be a steal, since Dallas and Houston ($Ball teams) wanted him bad.
He shot 61% inside the 3pt line last season which was the best among all college shooting guards. That is not volume shooting at the expense of efficiency. When I think of volume shooters I think players like Antoine Walker who would average 20 pts a game on 40% shooting.
I like all 3 picks but don't really see any stars among them.I could possibly envision a few all-star games though. Definitely would like to hold on to White and see how he develops. It seems many people are underwhelmed by Jones,so he'll probably be traded and turn out to be the best of the 3 ... lot's of people outside of Rockets fans think he may be the steal of the first round.
There's just something about Royce White. I myself have had some problems with anxiety and know how bad it can be. Basketball seems like it's this guys way of expending some of that extra emotion. He is very well spoken, humble, and seems like a great genuine person. I am rooting big time for this guy. I like all of our rookies but as a person, Royce seems to have the most character.
Jeremy Lamb. Love his personality. Still see all four of our rookies doing well even if some don't stay here in Houston. Don't see none of them heading to the d-league. Team should be fun and this is gonna be a good off season. Definitely see direction in this team now.
I am not sure about J's personality but his game should be a better Kevin Martin with flashes of brillance towards Ray Allen
