    More moves likely coming for Rockets based on one player

    Usman Garuba barely played, Josh Christopher looked decent in limited minutes and still barely played, and the Rockets are going to add three more guys into this rotation while only really losing Christian Wood?

    If Houston actually likes what it has in Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., Christopher, and Nix, adding another guy to that backcourt in the first round makes little sense.

    Everyone knew rockets were taking banchero after the draft lottery. Unless there is a shocker, everyone knows the top 3 players.

    This is why I am convinced that atleast the plan is to use the picks to trade up

    Stress fracture occurred when he was 16. Kept him out a whopping 8 weeks. Not too worried about soft tissue injuries or broken fingers or sprained shoulders. Victor could be in a walking boot and he would still get picked 1 overall next year much to the chagrin of all the doctors. Its a great sign Chet has not been hurt - hope that continues for him in the NBA.

    not too worried about *list multiple injuries* that are significant to the actual game. makes sense

    and then when he probably gets injured again like he has been, no big deal

    meanwhile chet is gonna get hurt!! hes too skinny!

    Or that we have no idea what the Rockets big board actually looks like. For all we know, Paolo could be third on their board.

    Is it funnier than internet tough guys going around pounding their cyber chest all the time or nah?

    If you have the accurate "non gossipy" scoop on why Chet did not provide medicals to all teams and why he avoided the NBA coronary screening I'd love to hear it.

    None of that gossip bs even matters. Only gullible first timers who see draft "news" eat it up like it means something.Then they portray that nonsense to oh the stock is rising, the stock is falling bs.

    what's funny is you constantly trying to side comment all the time as if you're the only one that can do that. Nah

    Side comment away! You think Wembanyama will bust due to injury and Chet is a guaranteed lock right? Too bad Victor missed this draft by 4 days and I'll have to wait a whole year to revist this topic with you. I'm patient though Im sure we will have our fun in the near future.

    "there has never been a player like Chet Holmgren ever" too funny.
