    Only cost a second round pick
    @Nook i remember your pre-draft write up on him. I think there’s some untapped potential there. The Rockets have clearly prioritized shooting this off-season- which is a huge need

    He was good during his rookie year then played like complete crap last year. For the 44th pick, it's a good gamble.

    Griffin has had injury problems, but I like the deal a lot. Can drill it from deep. Hawks had a logjam, so...rock n roll. Only 20.

    He went off the rocker a bit on twitter a few months ago but at least we're making an effort to address the shooting woes.

    Lol there was a poll on who we wanted months leading up to that draft. He was a popular name.

    Well, that was unexpected. I didn't watch him much. Seems like a gamble on his promising rookie season. Don't know what happened in his second season that made him play only 20 games.

    Has his third year already been picked up or will the Rockets get to decide that?

    At least we didn’t trade Alpi for him like Clutch proposed.

    Damn how he's fallen. I was actually really high on him going into that draft and was wondering if the Rockets should take him over Eason if he fell to them.
