    I think 2 guards are still ok as long as they are high upside guards. Devin Springer comes to mind. He could end up better than Green tbh. Wings are ok too as long as they are true 6'7+ players and not 6'6 and below dudes like Tate. Trey Murphy III for example isnt a sexy pick but I think that dude is gonna become the next Ariza.

    I like him a lot. Will he drop down there? I doubt it.

    He should have stayed one more year in college. JT needs a big man to develop him. He is only 18. I do like him.

    You dont know what the future holds. A 1st round contract is worth a few mill enough to set you up for life. If you can grab that bag asap you do it. If he gets injured in NCAA he can end up with nothing.

    I like JT Thor, thatd why I dont wanna move up for Kai Jones.

    I'm glad he came out .... If he'd stay another year he's probably a top 8 pick.

    Right now there's the possibility of getting him at 23/24.

    I really hope he and Murphy are there at 23 & 24 and Stone gets them both.

    Thor has superstar upside offensively and can defend 1-5 & I see Murphy as a 40% shooting 3D wing that can defend 1-5 and isn't a liability handling the ball.

    Getting both those guys would go a long way to fixing the defense.

    I'll exchange Cooper with J. T. Thor. I really like Isaiah Jackson a lot. Springer over Cooper for me too.

    This works for me. I’d be thrilled with Jackson at 23/24.

    Excellent. Mann seems like he will be instant offense as a 6th man

    Cooper could be a Trae Young type facilitator. I like him

    I like Cooper's passing a lot. His lack of a reliable jumper plus his short height and weak defense are concerns for me.

    Isiah Jackson was an absolute joy to watch at UK.

    His stats look mediocre, but over his last 10 games, he averaged close to 15/7/3 blks.

    Based upon your strong endorsement, I'm going deep dive on Thor & Murphy asap

    Same reason I want Mobley #2 ...
    And I want guys like Springer, Butler later on ...

    I cannot wait to see a modern Rockets contender built around a roster full of 2way players

    We had the ultimate in Dream, but seems like most others that mattered thru the years haven't excelled on both ends

    No one cares about 2 way players. Especially unicorn 2 way players.

    They only care about flashy players.

    2 way players = Wins
