It is funny, but with Westbrook. You see 30 feet and are like hmmm...believable. Obviously I'm kidding, but that guy is so athletic that it is borderline ridiculous.

Let's just say Llull signs. JET is back. Bev is back, SnT or just let go? Or, does DM the GM believe it's high time to groom the PG of the future and thus take a less ready/higher upside guy? Is Tyus Jones that guy?
Tyus is too short and could never defend Curry. Rockets need a taller defensive guard alongside Harden. A point guard taller than 6'3" who can play off the ball -- a must alongside James.
Really? So why not Andrew Harrison if it's based on height? Tyus Jones is very skilled. Skills pay the bills not height
Yeah, I don't know if he's the guy here. We can have one of the PF's here. 1. Lyles 2. Looney 3. Harrell 4. Portis In that order. Then take either Delon Wright (if available) or Andrew Harrison with the 32nd pick. Trade for an upgrade at PG or bring Llull over and hope him and Beverly can hold the fort down. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DMg_xbycKNw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I think Harrell would be an excellent pick here. The guy is a beast, 7'3 wingspan. Same goes for Looney. But Lyles if the guy here. If he were available, no way we pass up on him.
Little Tyus can not and will not defend Curry. As we just saw in the Cleveland game 2 victory, you beat the Warriors by defending Curry. Dellavedova scored 9 points but he defended the heck out of Curry and the Cavs won. A taller PG can also play off the ball with Harden - a must.
[rQUOTEr]Chad Fraud: Duke's Tyus Jones hurt his back in a session in Houston and won't be working out for a while. Knowing the shenanigans Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has pulled in the past, I wouldn't be shocked if the "injury" might be a promise by the Rockets to select him at No. 18 if he shuts down his workouts. The Rockets have been on him for a while.[/rQUOTEr]
WTF? What kind of bull**** writing is this? What exactly were Morey's shenanigans in past? **** BSPN, man.
Stupid for him to single out Morey on that. Lots of GMs do that sort of thing (I think Phoenix did it way back when with Amar'e, but there are other instances more recent....how about the Lakers leaking false medical info on Julius Randle and, lo!, he falls to them); and until now Morey's name wasn't among the perpetrators.
While Morey is one to pull shenanigans for various sorts, he is NOT one to typically hand out promises to first round prospects.
Gee, let me take a wild guess who you would have in mind...hmmm. As good as he would be on defense, he has a long way to go on offense, but he may be a poor man's Rondo. Even if we drafted him, I doubt we'll see him on the court with Harden next season.
I don't believe this for a single minute. The Rockets would fined big time, lose draft picks and Morey would be suspended or banned if true. People need to stop wearing their tin foil hat when they hear something.
