    Tyus Jones, to me, is a better fit for the Rockets offense rather than Russell. Jones may just be the better player hands Down. IMO Russell has a better body for today's PG possition; otherwise, Jones is the one with deeper range, and a better touch near the basket. They both play the p-n-roll pretty well, but I value Jones' ability to "Hedge" off the PNR much more than Russell's. Furthermore, Russell had the ball in his hands and they let him do whatever. Tyus Jones is Shake-n-bake ready to play in the league! Just put him in the mix and he is ready tp go. Jonez is accoustomed to playing with a big man, and if we pick him uo, the rockets will FINALLY have a guard that can make the entry pass to a big! He also pushes the tempo by passing the ball up court. Jones is not as prone to turnovers as much as DR. D.Russell is like Westbrook where Jones is Steve Nash.
    PLEASE PICK HIM UP

    Andrew Harrison isn't worthy of #32. If the Rockets were interested in him, they could try to find a partner to switch 1st and 2nd round picks, so we could move up a few in the 1st while falling back quite a bit in the 2nd.

    However, I wouldn't bet on them selecting domestic talent with a 2nd round pick if we keep it. Any 2nd would be difficult to sign as we'll be trying to use the MLE for other purposes.

    You are trying to play safe. Russell is an elite talent. IMO, he is a Curry lite.
    There isn't a single GM IMO, who will take Tyus over Russell.

    Understatement of the year. You don't even consider Tyus if you have a chance at Russell.

    The guy who said Russell isn't a better fit for the Rockets than Tyus is dreaming.

    Russell, in my opinion, is the best player in this draft. I'll even put that in my sig

    Thanks J.R!

    Barring any major moves, I think Tyus Jones will be the guy the Rockets get at 18.

    I like Justise of all the people outside the top 4 but he will be gone before 7 or 8. Trade up Daryl?
