    We are about to become the greatest team ever based on hype. We have:

    Jalen Green - mix between Kobe and Jordan
    Sengun - Jokic with better mobility
    Jabari - mix between KD and KG
    Amen - TMac with a good back
    Tari - Crash Wallace with good knees
    Sheppard - Curry with Nash’s playmaking
    Brooks - Black Shane Battier
    FVV - Black CP3 with range

    We might never lose a game again.

    He shot 52% from 3? That means he missed almost half of his 3 point attempts. Not a good look :D

    If the Chasedown fastbreak rejection is a LeBron, Sheppard's closeout on a 3 will need to be an H&R Block.

    And when he gets a 2s+teal, 2+block, 2+ assist, 2+ rebound, 2+ 3PT-make game, he's diversifying his portfolio.

    Less pressure for Dillingham in Minnesota. What did the Spurs acquire from them?

    Did he say "Rocket" instead of "Rockets"?
    I'm not sure about his pick anymore :p

    Reed should immediately get Aaron Holiday level minutes…I expect that to be his place in the rotation to start out

    main 2 things I’ll be watching like a hawk to start the season are Jalen Green improvement/consistency and if Jabari makes a leap…after that, it would probably be if Amen’s jumper shows any sort of pulse

    Looks like a 2030 top 1 protected and a 2031 unprotected pick.

    We ran FVV too hard last year. We needed a well-rounded 1 to give him some rest. If he gets 10-15 minutes to start that give Fred some rest and gets Shep some experience running the team.

    For years we have been b****ing about the Rockets not signing/drafting actual shooters and they finally do it and this board is a wine fest.

    Missed the start of the draft and catching up now. Cool that they did end up getting Reed. I was on that bandwagon 6 months ago, and while I would have liked a lot of guys (especially if future assets were coming), I'm definitely excited with this pick.
