Hell of a draft. Super stoked right now. Whatever we get with 23 and 24 is just gravy. Great night to be a Rockets fan.
this is pretty much my dream scenario right now, i cant believe we got Sengun aswell. Holy ****!!!!!!!!
What surprised me this draft is how many teams dont think about fit at all. Toronto picking Barnes is the most impactful change so far, really changed the order of the draft. OkC also taking Giddey out of the blue, they really want playmaking so maybe those SGA rumors are true. GSW is the clear winner to me so far, with Orlando a far second. Orlando got some nice talent but getting Suggs is kinda awkward since they just signed Fultz last season. Wagner is more of a win now player but then again he is only 19 so maybe thats unfair to him. GSW though...lol. Kuminga is gonna be their future superstar, yeah he is raw and didnt play great but that cuz he is the same generation as Holmgrem and Banchero, imagine those guys as high schoolers playing directly in GLeague. Moody is a great win now player and imo the 2nd best SG in this draft. Biggest loser so far are the Kings imo. They had their sights set on wagner and ended up with Mitchell lol. All these 2 small pg backcourts makes me appreciate Green even more. Zaire williams to NO is also head scratching, they need to keep Zion happy so shooters wouldve been better than yet another prospect. Maybe they are preparing for eventual Zion departure so they are picking for potential. Highest riser so far is Primo. Dude was going 2nd round in some mocks. But I'm not that surprised he is young and full of potential. But it also seems a huge waste cuz they prob could have traded down to the 20s and still got him.
What if somehow both JJ and Butler slide to 23/24 !!! Wood Olynyk Sengun KPJ Tate JJ Green EGo KPJ Wall Butler
Wait so Presti drafted Giddey and traded Sengun for 2 heavily protected 1st round picks? Has someone checked him for dementia?
I'm so satisfied now that i'm okay with using the upcoming picks to shed Walls contract and a 2nd rounder
My favorite scenario in this draft. Did Stone have to give up 23 or 24? Team has great young talent to mold at all positions. I'm still hoping one of Jones, Johnson, Murphy falls to 23
Ive been trying to slow all the Sengun = Jokic type hyperbolic insanity in the Sengun thread, but this is a very good value, both what they gave to get the pick and who they picked.
