I don't want Young. Perimeter guys are much more likely to be NBA ready in the 2nd round. This is a play-now pick. I want a wing player. Whoever the Rockets like. Edit: I have no idea who Nick Johnson is. Hopefully he's someone who can (sort of) defend both guard positions given his listed 6-3 height.

Nick Johnson. Small 3 and D guy. Unless they think he can eventually play PG and next to Harden, I don't get it, instead of an instant impact rotation guy like Young.
Young is definitely a ready to go guy. He is a 4 year college player who boards and plays tough in the post. Low ceiling, but ready right now.
I originally wanted young- but this kid's supposedly athletic, and a good 3&D player. Hes short- but I guess they'll play him at PG. Hardens the playmaker anyway. Tavares would have been nice too.
