    Look at how many people got on here just to hate on these Rockets for a modicum of recognition.

    You call yourselves fans, do you?

    Sochan is better than Tari. I would have taken him over Eason. Eason is showing why he was falling in the draft. When they do run a play like out of the timeouts you can tell he doesn’t remember compared to everyone else. He has terrible shooting form and still shoots from the hip which is why he gets blocked so much. He’s a terrible dribbler and still can’t dribble with his left hand and doesn’t look like he’s even trying to improve that. And on fast breaks it’s the same low iq decision making.

    Jeremy has played in 44 games. Tari is awesome, but Sochan is also deserving of a spot.

    Sochan has one hell of a coach. Coaches matter.

    Jalen and Alpi are literally averaging the best counting stats of the entire frontcourt/backcourt (percentages notwithstanding) of their draft class, so that those two are no brainers. Happy for Jabari, I know his shooting has not been where it’s supposed to be but he still deserves to be there to me.

    So did Tari, though

    People like to rag on Stone but reality is he is doi g a great job acquirig young talent. Ping pong ball didnt bounce his way but 5 yrs from now Rox will be a very good team. I remember when Laker fans ragged on Lonzo and BI for not tearing up the league like Tatum or Ben Simmons (lol). Sometimes you just need to be patient.

    Is there nothing Tari does well? He's just those things?

    Herb Jones isn't spectacular but shown he isn't a bad player.

    Isn't it amazing to know that on this entire list, Jalen has more 40 point games (3) than the entire list combined (0)?

    Imagine being sad that you have to improve a player's efficiency rather than raise his ceiling.

    imagine if we didnt even drafted jalen? could of won it all already instead of wasting years and alpis development on an athletic freak when its proven time and again the athleticism is just a small part of making basketball greatness

    but i guess wining it all is not a valuable goal for you at all except perhaps somewhere in the distant future, when it still wont be the right time and will require acquiring even more assets

    and imagine how sad to prefer watching real nba games to a pitiful defetist attempt to develop an athletic freak by letting him just dribble around and chuck 3pts over the hands of defenders...lol

    Interesting, I was told that the NBA GMs and Coach's thought these dudes suck and have very little potential moving forward.

    Interesting they were voted onto a 'rising' stars team.

    These guys drafted 21 rookies+sophomores rising stars. Our guys were drafted out of 21:

    #3 Alperen Sengun
    #6 Jalen Green
    #20 Jabari Smith Jr.

    It should be a wake-up call for Jabari.
