    Green shot the 3 better than Suggs and he did it at NBA 3 pt line on more attempts and vs better competition.

    If Green is an inconsistent shooter with bust potential what the hell is Suggs?

    Tonight I’m hoping to hear GREEN at 2, and then Eric Gordon and the 23rd pick traded to Indy for the 13th pick!

    Like I posted ten minutes before your post - I much prefer Green to Suggs and he is the better shooter right now and has a lot more potential. I was just stating, that none of these guys are sure things - all have question marks and all could disappoint in a major way. Suggs and Cunningham probably have a higher floor than Green (Suggy only barely) - but I believe Green has the highest ceiling off the whole draft class.

    So I will be celebrating affter we take Green. But I will also be wary - there is no guy like Zion or AD in this years draft...

    One way to team build is to get a few top rookies from the same draft… if this is a strong draft - go get a few of them, not just a top 2 pick and whatever is left at 23, 24.

    make a deal - land another top 10 guy!!

    Zion is not a sure thing if you think Cade, Green and Suggs are not sure things. Coming into the league people were skeptical about Zion's height and his weight, esp after he missed start of the season and also looked overweight in the SL.

    Love the fact that he’s not ducking anybody and he’s willing to name names. No sub tweets here. He wants all the smoke. From the GQ article.

    Once he proves himself and we get a decent looking jersey maybe in a year or 2.

    I'm still holding out hope that Detroit is stupid enough to draft Green and save the Rockets from themselves

    All this time and they still try to tear down 61% TS on 23% usage at the NBA level! SMH.

    [parody] What?! Are you stupid? Don't you know that all the scouts, coaches, NBA players, media, my nana, the postman and his Dad say that Mobley is the second coming of Christ, Day 1? Best finisher in the NBA day 1? Can do literally everything in basketball, play every position and fit any situation, day 1? He's a unicorn, so he ***** rainbows and can dunk from the 3 pt line. And has elite guard skills. He's KG, KD, AD, GHB, ADHD, MDMA and all the other alphabet letters in ONE PLAYER! He said himself he's a generational player, and he goes with the other MyLittlePonies in my collection so we have to pick Mobley! [/parody]

    Cade is going to be great but Green will end up being the best player in this draft.

    Just my humble know nothing prediction.

    Oh great - more reason for the "F YOU HOUSTON" guys to dislike Green! Why didnt they disclose the $ amounts of the other guys? Just Green? Safe to say his deal is the highest sponsor payout among them?
