    C - Sengun, Garuba
    PF - Smith, KMJ
    SF - Eason, Tate
    SG - Green, Jaygup, Queen
    PG - KPJ, TyTy, Nix

    That's our rookies, sophomores, and juniors (yeah I know KPJ is 4th year but he's Jr)

    Kendall Brown finally off the board. I remember when he was supposed to go in the first half of the first round.

    Love me some Eric Gordon. I'll be disappointed but not sad if we keep him, though for his sake he should be on a contender to shine.

    Just about in a realistic range for Luke Travers to be drafted... will anyone be brave enough to get this magnificent mullet on an NBA court?

    KPJ, Jalen and Banchero are all homies and friends but as we saw with Jalen and KPJ being friends off the court doesn't mean you click on the court. Jabari fits them much better.

    That no workout is out of left field considering what everyone said about Jabari's character so I hope its cuz Orlando promised him no 1.

    It might also be good we didn't get Paolo cuz all 3 of them like the ball in their hands and everybody else got marginalized. With Jabari you unlock Sengun's potential he can be the playmaking center he was meant to be.

    A year ago Johnny Juzang left March Madness a projected lottery pick value. Goes to show how narrow of a window players have and if they miss it, its incredibly difficult to break through

    It's wacky that all the mock draft guys nailed the first pick of the second round (nembhard) and all whiffed on the first overall selection

    Kai Soto would be awesome as a Free Agent add or a 2 way player.

    Ideally I think TyTy will eventually take starters minutes, shifting KPJ to Gordon's old role where, if he buys in, he'll thrive.

    No need. Play our young guys and Stone will find the perfect piece wherever he picks. Tanking is over.

    The Rockets did the same thing to Rashard Lewis back in 1998.

    The guy they compare Smith Jr. to.

    Wild irony.

    Rockets had 3 picks in round 1 and promised Rashard they would pick him with one of those picks.

    They took Michael Dickerson, Bryce Drew and Mirsad Turkcan.

    Turkcan never even played for the Rockets.

    Rashard didn’t go until pick 3 of round 2 to Seattle.

    Crazy, the similarities….3 picks then, 3 picks this year.

    This time, they got it right….hopefully.
