Mike Scotto: Rockets will shop the No. 3 overall pick ahead of the draft in hopes of landing a star

For being dumb enough to trade down and end up falling behind the Spurs.

 

Amen played in OT Elite for his age 19 season. Hes 21 years old. TMac played in the NBA at 19.

 

Spurs just got the worst record pretty sure Reed Sheppard wont make them above 0.500.

You think he's better than Wemby? wtf!

 

He has recovered from the compound tibia fracture well, so that shows he has some fighting spirit.

 

They (on YouTube video) mentioned he didn't look good in *first year of college with coach
Altman; but then he transferred to **Indiana where that coach did well prepping Trayce
Jackson-Davis to be NBA ready.

(Trayce J-D ) Enough to get some starter minutes in year one with Warriors.
Something James Wiseman struggled getting there and playing well.

*(So probably 22/23 highlights might show him jogging down court and poor effort)
**Coach Mike Woodson

 

They have a superstar in Wemby, if they got a secondary star like Sheppard, that would propel then ahead of the Rockets.

 

@saleem

Kel'el Ware is 100 times better than Evan Mobley right now

 

Your right. I assumed he only spent the year after high school there. Forgot he spent more time in Elite.

 

I like Sheppard, he's who I want the Rockets to pick. BUT, and I'm sure you'd agree, he is a high floor prospect. His skill level is already nuts. Topic and Castle, if they improve as shooters, undoubtedly have room to progress more than Shepard does. We're just two dudes on a message board debating teenagers playing a game, I'm not going to argue the point with you. Good day sir.

 

Haha what? I know people hate Mobley around here because we picked Jalen over him and it has to be the right call or whatever, but lol.

Ware might not even go in the top 20. In a weak draft. Mobley is a legitimate starting caliber NBA player.

Let's get real with some of this stuff.

He played much better at IU. Woodson found something that motivated him to play harder. It was night and day compared to his time at Oregon.

I don’t see Giannis at all in his game. Ware doesn’t play with that kind of power. Granted, Giannis worked like crazy to build up his body. I don’t see Ware doing the same.

I do see Ware having the potential to be special with his size and skill set. I’m not 100% he will ever reach that though. I’d like to see much more dog in him.

 

Yeah that's mostly a shot at those who can't let Mobley go. The ones that take 50,000 postings a
day being so negative about Jalen Green. You know, the ones that said he was a bust two weeks
into his career.

One can tell they have an agenda,....posting that much.....daily? Just like Hakerm94 with her fire
Silas 50,000 times a day. Has to be their job or they are just plain psycho.

I said before draft day, draft Jalen Green, because the Mobley models are coming up the
pike as highschools are having all players shooting 3's and AAU are bringing us more and
more kids like Mobley. Only the others that follow will be better. The Jalen Green
Speed, height, athleticism, ability to comfort body in air mold.....not so much.

Mobley has no offense. He is Manute Bol. He gets his points from crashing the boards
and following up other players shots. Rebounds and put backs. He is not the 3-point
shooter and mid-range spot up 10-shooter he was advertised to be.

Watch Kel'el Ware video. He has spin moves trough the paint, sweeping
hook shots, much higher lob threat than Mobley ever will be.....so much more
fluid. I do t care where the so called experts say he should be drafted.
They treated Lively the same way. Now they are saying in a re-draft Lively
should have gone sooner.

I'll show both their videos.

Kel'el Ware


How Lively has changed the Mavs (Kel'el could do that for Houston )


Here Lively should have gone sooner.....Ware will be better

 

Morning @saleem

Here is a Bulls fan talking about the rumor of Caruso to Rockets for the 11th pick.

They are targeting Clingan. But the dude mentions also getting back Tari Eason and/or
Cam Whitmore.

I'd have to say no to that. He also mentions Kel'el Ware as a monster and Zach Edey as options.

 

Good morning, mon ami. Eason, Cam and Amen are no no's in a trade to the Bulls. I like Caruso, but I'm not desperate for him.

 

Lol, still throwing a tantrum, and back to not understanding that accurate criticism isn't "slander" I see...

It was obvious from the start that you weren't the sharpest peanut in the turd, but damn.

How many more days do you plan on derping up this thread with your whiny BS? You were dumb and I called you out for it... time to move on with your life and hopefully improve yourself a bit.

 

this is inaccurate. The Rockets are not willing to trade all their “stuff” back or the deal would have been done already. Don’t believe everything you read in America’s corrupt media.

 

I think the disagreement is that a player can have both a high floor AND a high ceiling.

Guys like Topic and the brick Castle have very low floors but high ceilings. Sheppard has both a high floor and a high ceiling.

 

What makes SA so smart? They haven’t done a damn thing since Duncan and Kawhi. They lucked into a potential superstar, I guess that makes them smart for tanking, but the Rockets are dumb for tanking. Even with Wemby and even with a significant trade the Rockets will have a better record than SA this upcoming season. I think they are still re-building and will go with the highest ceiling player that is available. I doubt Sheppard will be their choice even if available. Castle, Topic, or Davis would be my bet. If they go for need it will be Topic or Clingan.

 

this guy lost me at Tari Eason. I literally became repulsed when he mentioned Tari and then Cam, and my fingers clicked off the video before my brain had a chance to tell my fingers to do so. I think I made it 20 seconds through.
