    guy has great size,( decent passer) is a hell of a defender, and is grabbing offensive rebounds like Rondo. His jumper which was a huge question mark looks wet( although its just 1 game)

    How did this guy fall in the draft, he is way better than Teague or Marshall, i guess if you play for North Carolina or Kentucky your stock automatically goes up

    I preached about this guy all year, really would've liked him on our team, especially with our messed up PG situation now, he could've gotten serious playing time. Great athlete, very nice passing and ball-iq, jumper will eventually improve. Sky is the limit.

    He has nice potential, im really impressed with him

    he attacks the offensive glass for rebounds, and is a hell of defender and passer

    He can't go right, He had a terrible year shooting(58% from the free throw line) and hasn't demonstrated that he can consistently play the point. He could be great one day, but 6'6" wings with iffy shots and good defense in fact do grow on trees.

    Why did you bring up Teague when Wroten went higher than him?

    I'm big on Wroten too even though I thought he should have came back for his sophomore year. He has to work on his turnovers and his jumpshot.

    Mind boggling that the Rockets didn't draft him if they knew they were getting rid of Lowry and Dragic.

    Morey should have signed Gogi, and drafted Wroten as a backup

    "Mind-bogging" is one word for it. I can think of others, all "*"-d. Morey must be held accountable for knowing he would refuse to pay market price for Dragic and would not try to resign Lowry. The fact he felt the consensus #1-#2 PG in the draft was less valuable than the 5th and 6th best PFs, when he already had a full roster of PFs, is a firable incompetence.
