Delon Wright

He's one of those guys with no real flashy gifts/talents, but always manages to do well.

Could definitely see an Andre Miller type career for him

 

Give me Tyus Jones over this guy any day.

 

Impressive and really high IQ plays, but I am not sure if the Rox will be interested on him when we have Nick Johnson.

 

Sorry, Rockets don't need another 6'1" ball dominant midget for 6'3" Curry to light up like a Christmas tree. Wouldn't mesh with Harden anyway.

Wright fits what the Rockets need defensively on Curry and he can play off the ball next to Harden.

 

Reminds me a lot of Pat Bev. Then again we already have that other dude (Nick something?) who is already a decent defender in the NBA. I guess it all depend on who's avaliable at 32, if he's still there wouldn't mind the Rox taking him.

 

I'm not sure Wright can carry the ball up the floor against good NBA PGs

 

Anyone know the name of the tune beginning at 8:10 of the DraftXpress video?

 

Again, I would be shocked if we used the #18 on a PG. That's not Morey's MO. Maybe the #32 pick.

 

The Rockets lost to the Warriors because of an offensive/defensive weakness at PG. Morey better use #18 on a PG. A tall PG who can defend Curry.

 

That's what I was thinking. He won't be the BPA at 18, but if he's there at 32 great value.

 

No telling who the BPA is. Looking at past drafts in hindsight, it's never who you thought it was.

The 6'5" Wright may be the best fit for the Rockets' defensively and alongside Harden.

 

I think Grant is stronger and better shooter. Ready to play now!

 

Wright is taller, a better rebounder and a committed defender.

Grant is not a committed defender.

 

Delon won't be the BPA. He'll be a high floor kind of player. Will be asked to play back up PG if we draft him.

But I think with Lull coming over and Beverly back, we won't really have minutes unless we bring a real star player at the PG position.

I rather take Jones as developmental stash.

 

Analytics?

 

Kaminsky's a beast. Move up and pick him. He ain't gonna be there at 18.

 

Nice. Wright is the only player on each list. Wright may be a top tier role player in the league.

 

No telling who the BPA is. In hindsight it's never who you thought it was, but some guy you passed up.

Delon is the best fit for the Rockets' system offensively/defensively alongside Harden.
