    See him as more like Christian Wood on offense with some RoCo instincts on defense.

    Not nearly as long or as strong as Turner or Ibaka.

    This kid has some Unicorn potential. But will he be more like Porzingas or like Dragan Bender.

    May not be as explosive as either.

    Might be the safest pick for the Rockets. Way stronger than Jerami Grant but not as consistent of a shooter.

    With his play style and energy, I see slightly bigger Manimal.

    Smith and Poku have higher upsides IMO, but both have higher bust potential than Precious.

    And losing in 1st round?

    Unless Harden traded, then forget the postseason.

    Love Giles, but not paired with Simmons.

    Harry Giles would be perfect with Harden. He can roll and throw down lobs like Clint but he has the vision and passing ability to make him like a bigger and more physical Jeff Green. Very skilled for a 6'10 center AND he is still improving - only 22.

    Poku is intriguing as hell.

    But can he switch is the question.

    14th, 16th, 30th are the Celtics 1st rd picks. If the trade goes through, Atlanta would get one of those I'd assume and the other two would go to Rockets. This is just an assumption outside of the future picks and second rounders coming.

    Good, hope he falls to Rockets.

    He complements both Harden and Simmons (if Rockets go that direction).

    Poku, Precious or Smith are the likely pick if Rockets keep 16th.

    But dark horse is Josh Green, getting lots of buzz.

    Not until he puts on at least 20 lbs lol. But he moves really like a guard at 7ft tall. Only 18

    I will be amazed If we use this pick. This thing is getting traded.

    A very good question. I'm more inclined to pick and trade him in a package with RW.
