    At this point, I'm on board with:

    Kpj / Gordon
    Green / Christopher / Mathews
    Sochan / Tate
    Banchero / Martin / Garuba
    Sengun / Boban


    Shooting and defense will be a little dicey but i guess we roll with it and see if they can improve on the fly... last year to tank anyways so no downside...

    I don't think they need a traditional backup pg with Green handling the rock more...

    If an offer is there for Gordon or if he's needed for sochan, they can get a veteran backup pg with the exception on a small deal.

    Josh Christopher is 6'3.25" according to nba measurements. If he grows another 2.75" that would be a big deal and would definitely make him a better prospect. But, I think it's more likely Tate or KMJ develop as a SF. Or, we just draft a SF that beats them all out of the spot.

    I don't think Jaygup ever sniffs 6'6, would love to be wrong though.

    He's 6'3 barefoot right now.

    Good point. I kind of brushed off Eason in the OP because I see him more as a PF than a wing but that's fine if we slide Paolo to the wing which more suits him anyways. Eason is also the better pf fit with Sengun at C.

    If Sharpe falls out of the top 10, can he play the 3 in a line up with KPJ/Green/Paolo/Sengun?

    I don't expect that. I wish he had a bigger frame while remaining athletic.

    JC is 20 years old. There's might be a small chance at gaining an inch. He is 6'4.

    Nook said yes in a post some weeks ago. I respect Nook a lot. He should be able to play at the 3 with his body and length. He doesn't have the height for it though.

    Exactly my thoughts. He's proven he can't carry a team. He's a SUPER role player but not a guy you should max out unless you're like a piece away from a ring (and even then...)

    Paolo is the 3. If somehow Banchero is gone, Chet is the 5, Sengun is the 4 and draft Eason as the 3 if he's availiable

    Chet will put on some weight. He and his father don't have the genetics to get huge but with youth and modern training, they could add lean muscle. Plus you really don't want someone the size of Chet or Victor getting very heavy.

    The best SF in the draft is:





    The Rockets win the draft if they pull Jovic and one of Ivey/Holmgren out of it.

    Would rather take Eason or Sochan, but they're not gonna be there at 17.
    Dieng or Jalen Williams will probably be gone as well.
    Really like William's game.

    if we can’t trade up for Griffin or Sochan, I think Jalen Williams would be a great pick at #17. Throw KJ in to move up if we are worried he won’t be there.
