    Yeah because a 6'4 guy from Gonzaga is our savior. WTF

    The Rockets have had and lost stars like James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul in recent years — so the franchise is in desperate need of another one. And though I do think there are arguments to be made for Evan Mobley and Jalen Green, the pick should be Jalen Suggs, a great competitor and top-shelf athlete who can be an All-Star level player if his 3-point shot becomes more reliable.

    ... are guys who are 6'4 no longer good?

    Is Gonzaga a bad progam...?

    Just weird and cringe that you think this is a LOL WTF type thing, it should be a surprise to nobody if we pick any of Mobley/Green/Suggs, all 3 guys are game for our pick.

    A few hours ago they had Mobley as the pick in the same article. They will just circulate now to try to get clicks.

    Suggs is not a #2 over the other guys. And nobody goes to Gonzaga who thinks they are that high of a draft pick to begin with. Fast forward 5 years and Suggs will not be the top 5 of this draft.

    It's one guy's mock, and it can be argued Suggs is less of a risk than Mobley and Green.

    **** it man how long will it take for these idiots to understand that you either can shoot or you can't. these dudes been shooting their whole life hes not becoming 3pt specialist if he aint one already. And when you are 6'4 point guard without great 3pt I don't want you on my team

    They better pick Green. He is slim but it's way easier to bulk up than to learn how to score/shoot. Now he is 178pounds playing with pros looking good now imagine him getting to 200 in coming years, slow and steady with good muscle. Then he will have strength advantage on top of skills, 6'8 wingspan, top athleticism and it will be scary

    Not as crazy as you think. Reputable draft gurus such as Vecenie and Pennie actually gave him mocked to us.

    Suggs will read this page, be fueled, work super hard, one day reaches all star before Green, Mobley, Kuminga and even Cade :eek:, then, creates a CF account, bump this thread :D.

    Suggs isn't bad. For all we know, the next Kawhi is somewhere in middle of the 1st round. I don't envy a GM's job, all they can do is get the most data points and make the most educated decision.

    Gonzaga just signed the number 1 recruit in this upcoming class. Lillard went to Weber State, Morant went to Murray State and you are tripped up about this guy going to the National runner up? Wtf
