    There's really no drama to this pick anymore. It's pretty clear the Magic and Thunder are going to go with 2 of the 3 big men and the Rockets will go with whoever is left.

    If by some miracle it's Chet, that's awesome, if it's Bancharo that's also awesome, if it's Jabari that's fine too.

    We can leave behind the nightmare scenarios where the top 3 are gone and we have to entertain the Ivey nonsense.

    Getting no 5 at worst is better than getting a low 15th pick.

    End of the day, It’s all a crap shoot…

    But i think the rockets are in a perfect spot.

    Let’s the other teams overthink and make a mistake and just take what’s left.

    They all can hoop and have show they can shoot well enough.

    I hope Smith falls to the Rockets, cause just floor is Rashard Lewis…but Chet is nice…could be a poor man’s KD.

    And Banchero I think is just a solid player overall..

    My only concern is how he would pair with Sengun….but again, it’s all good to have those problems.

    Any of the 3 will be a great addition.

    At least we got top 3. Way better than picking at 4th or 5th

    After their big miss on Bamba, I'm guessing Orlando goes with highest ceiling and lowest floor with Smith. Holmgren fits with OKC's timeline and scheme. That leaves us with Branchero. I'm okay with that.

    Yeah, what's wrong with the 3rd pick? Jordan was 3rd pick. Harden was 3rd pick. Tatum was 3rd pick. Luka was 3rd pick. Embiid was 3rd pick.

    Tatum the only true beast in the list so far.

    Ok so if you never act like it takes 2 yrs why the hell are you complaining about 3 yrs? Makes zero sense.

    They need a scorer, and I think Paolo will impress them in the workouts. They might try to pull a Fultz/Tatum like swap with us and get a couple of assets, but IMO Paolo ends up in Orlando...

    Chets is going to get abused.
    Jabari is 1 dimensional
    Banche is a playmaker Bam Adebayo with more offense
