this came after a random person likely spotted him in OKC - there’s a pic on Twitter but it was of his back and from lien 40 feet away. this was also from his instagram which he updated an hour later to add a second pic which was of the weather in Orlando for the next week. The conclusion to me was he was flying from OKC to Orlando through DFW. but who knows
It makes no sense for him to workout for anyone outside of the top 2. He knows at worst he goes 3rd. Only question is whether OKC would take Jabari or Paolo at #2 if Orlando went a different direction - so he is willing to workout for OKC. He knows HOU takes him at 3 if he falls, no matter what.
The top 3 are already set. They will be picked in the order of Jabari, Chet, Paolo. I say screw the 3rd pick. Trade down from 3. Everybody and their mothers know that there is something not right about the Sengun/Paolo pairing. So avoid it. Both Sengun and Wood need defenders next to them.
You don’t speak for “everyone.” I like the possibilities of a Sengun-Banchero lineup. One is a pass-first big who can score, and the other is a scoring-first big who can facilitate. Easy to run an offense through that, especially when you have a bucket guard like Green. The defensive concerns are overblown. It’s like y’all forget these guys are nineteen years old.
The defense thing is coming from too many sources to be overblown. Besides, if they draft Paolo I will be just as happy as the next Rockets fan. But Paolo, just like Wood, just like Sengun, just like Green, just like KPJ, needs more defense around them to be more complete. Sochan/Eason
How does that tweet confirm he worked out for Houston? Just because he landed in DFW? I still haven’t seen any confirmation of him working out for the Rockets.
This is the start of the rebuild not the end. Draft the best player and if it doesn't look like it will work out next season, then move Sengun.
I know right? Jalen Green get to fly on Tilman's private jet. Paolo get to fly on commercial and not even a direct flight?
Some mocks are also changing and placing Banchero with Thunder. I said two weeks ago teams might be hesitant on Chet body frame. Seems like my belief: Chet will probably be a good player.....but would rather have another team take the risk. Chet may land our way.
If the Rockets pass on Chet at 3, I will be broken. His frame is of no concern. Anyone who thinks it is has no idea how he plays. He’s the best prospect in this draft without a doubt. If the narrative gets him to 3, the rockets get a heist. He’s going first.
I’ve been watching a lot of (Purdue guard) Jaden Ivey, just because I played against him in high school. We were both on Adidas for high school, playing prolific. Chet (Holmgren, from Gonzaga), a really good big. I’ve seen him at USA (Basketball) a bunch of times. Oh, and Paolo (Banchero, big from Duke). That’s one of my little bros, I’m actually talking to him a lot. That’s crazy that I didn’t think of him right now… but yeah, I’ve been watching a lot of Paolo, too. So those are my top three, right now. - Green
Jalen also talked about Chet, all the rumors and leaks all point towards Jabari going #1, and we don't know what OKC will do, they will pick between Paolo or Chet and we pick the one who doesn't get picked.
