    all we need to do is get the 60th pick and take the middle ball brother and the ultra draft will be complete.

    Not a strong pick by Morey. Got to go get 2 way players who can put points on the board and defend so it doesn't have to always be James and Chris in the Crunch/Pinch. Diallo could have been Houston's Patrick Mccaw, but he wasn't there so I understand that one. The Kostas Antetokounmpo should be your first call as a UFA. If you can put him in program and have his brother start spending time here training and what not, who know what can have in free agency. Plus the kid has a similar game to his big brother he might pan out himself.

    Cool bro.. one gem in the last like 10 drafts. Literally the only draft player still on the team.

    I must say though the more i learn about The Melton kid the more it makes sense. Not the sexiest pick but we do need another gaurd and hopefully those long arms can chase around The splash bros in the years to come.

    Rockets 94-95 PG Kenny Smith, Sam Cassell, Scott Brooks all can really shoot 3s, all quick, penetrate, pass

    If Malik Newman is as talented as a Young Aaron Brooks, he can make huge impact off the bench.

    Two good, solid picks for the Rockets (assuming they don't trade them). Both have potential to play minutes and have very good upside. People should slow down on calling either bad picks. Houston did well this draft.

    They could both be productive role players, which is about all you can really hope for late in the 2nd round. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it either.

    The Rockets wanted (needed) to get younger on the wings. They did that here while having limited assets to work with.
