Chad Ford Mock Draft 6.0

And why would the Kings do that?

 

I say pick the BPA at 18 and 32 or package them with another player to move up to get one of the top 8-9 players. Get a veteran PG (Lawson) through a trade.

It's obvious we need another playmaker / faciliator more than another big man. We're ok with Dwight Capela DMo. We really need a PG. Someone who can hit open shots and create for others.

GET LAWSON PLEASE!!!

Say NO to Tyus Jones.

 

You mean the Wizards. The Bucks draft right before the Rockets and hopefully stay away from Looney.

 

Lol they wouldn't

 

Because we are the Rockets, duh!

Seriously, I have a pipe dream of us trading up and grabbing Emmanual Mudiay with the #4 pick and running him alongside Harden and Howard. That 3 man group would be absurdly good.

 

No. I meant the Bucks who draft BEFORE us. Typo. We'll have to leapfrog them for Looney I'm afraid. That is if somebody else doesn't take him even earlier.

 

If the bucks wanted Looney no need for the Rockets to smokescreen them its out of their hands anyway.

Fyi the bucks big board has 10 names the gm said. And the priority is someone who can play center or a sg who can shoot. Portis and Hunter should both he over Looney. Maybe even Grant. They are happy where they are and dont want to trade up they have said. Looney is needless in Milwaukee. (IMO).

 

If we somehow move up to the number six position we need to draft Cauley-Stein.

 

Regarding the draft, on a RocketsRoundtable videocast I'll always remember what Gersson Rosas said, "we're not going to leave talent on the table."

Best Available Player every time regardless of position.

 

But most of the time that's a tweener PF. When will we catch a break?

 

Doc at this point and we're still a few weeks away from the draft and just what I've seen so far Looney at #18 would probably be best player available. And we all know Morey usually doesn't draft based on position.

 

Oh I'm with you. Morey is gonna take BPA (or, player with most 'star' potential). Looney is bouncing all around in the mocks at the moment, I think he will be gone by 18 after the workouts.

 

The best player for the Rockets is 6'5" point guard Delon Wright. Shot 50% from the field. Unselfish. Great rebounder for his size. Long wingspan. Lateral quickness. Defensive ace. The only guard in college basketball to average better than two steals per game and one block shot.

Perfect fit for this team. Fills the defensive need. See his video breakdown at DX.

 

Everything the Rockets need in a PG is found in 6'5" Delon Wright.

He might be available with the 32nd pick... maybe. Is he that much better than Andrew Harrison who I definitely think will be there with the 32nd pick.

I think we'll end up drafting Looney, Lyles, or Portis if one of them is available and get a PG through a trade. (Lawson)

 

Thanks Delon, and welcome to Clutchfans.

 

No way his stock drops to the second round.

 

Every single post you make is about that player. In every thread even threads that have nothing to do with draft. Are you his agent or his father?

 

Morey does nothing but that

 

I'm thinking the same way, once everyone's tier levels have been tightened up will know who could possibly be there at #18 but its so difficult to predict at the moment. I'm still surmising that Morey may move #18 and really covets that #32 pick as he will probably get 1st round talent at #32 for sure. Two rookies on a team that made it to the Western Conference finals would seem like a lot if one is not picked for a draft and stash scenario.
