    What does “should have had” mean? Players are all different and excel at some things while not as good in others but that’s why there’s development coaches, shooting coaches, and the player simply focusing on working hard and getting better. Some people in the corporate world are better public speakers than others etc. Aint no different in the NBA. But key is to keep working on weaknesses and getting better. Aint no perfect player out there dude.

    Rockets now:

    PG - Amen Thompson (#4) / TyTy Washington (#30)
    SG - Jalen Green (#2) / Kevin Porter Jr. (#30) / Josh Christopher (#24)
    SF - KJ Martin (#52) / Cam Whitmore (#20)
    PF - Jabari Smith Jr. (#3) / Tari Eason (#17) / Jae'Sean Tate (UD)
    ..C - Alperen Sengun (#16) / Usman Garuba (#23)

    That's 10 first Rnd Draft Picks filling out the roster. High level talent.

    Now if only we could trade Martin and Tate for Lively to balance it out.

    The Rockets just can't get enough of that non-traditional PG stuff. When will they learn?

    At least we are not the Hornets. If you’re feeling down go read their Reddit.
