I don't expect it will, if Stone does the smart thing and drafts Sheppard, that's FVV's replacement, not Green's. Now a 4th complete failure of a season by Jalen Green will definitely affect Jalen and his cult.... hopefully removing both from this board.
Its not "poor" its just like everything else with him. At times its top 5 level, but too often there is sloppiness mixed in / overly there. On the whole I think he has solid handles that should ultimately be consistently above average. For now, he is 35th in the league in turnovers per possession and the only players above him with more turnovers per possession and fewer assists per possesion are bigs - just JJJ, Dayron Sharpe (lol) and KAT.

OK someone pointed out to me that Castle, Clingan, and Sheppard each have a parent named Stacey. That's a weird coincidence. Do we think that maybe this was a factor in those 3 being favorites for the Rockets? Maybe Castle was removed because they prefer moms named Stacey vs dads (not very progressive thinking :/ ).
Yes, the guy who fits perfect with the team and is BPA over the French guy who would forever be 3rd or 4th string on the Rockets.
For some reason, he would still take Sarr if both are available. I hope Clingan/Sarr go 1/2. And then we must not be dumb enough to not take Sheppard.
I'm sold on Sheppard, but I still have a feeling that Castle will be a star in this league. It's the same feeling I had with Hayward and Paul George back in the day, and Jalen Williams more recently.
I dont see how Clingan or Sarr make a lot of sense for us. I think Reed is the better player and much better fit.
Haven't really followed them closely, but didn't they decide to let Jonas go because of lack of spacing for Zion? Why go all in on Clingan then? *shrug*
