    I just feel we might get #3 this year and draft Paolo
    Which I’m cool with it. I wanted us to secure top 5 which we did.

    my list is

    1. Chet
    2a. Jabari
    2b. Paolo
    3. Ivey
    4. Sharpe


    Bkn

    it was Sochan but he has risen and we fell down to 17.
    Tari or Dieng or Jovic
    & hope Stone gets a late 1frp or early second. For a back up big like Koloko/Kamagate


    If we fall to 3 this year I want the NBA gods to make it up to us and give us the #1 pick next year. They owe us. :)

    But did he average 10+ boards his first year? That's all I stated was Chet would average around 9 his first year.

    Where they play offense will have little impact on their rebound numbers. Offensive rebounds are important, but are a small part of the overall statistic. Chet will almost certainly out rebound Banchero on the defensive end.

    is Clyde representing? Have they announced that? If so, a couple thoughts:

    clyde could be good luck because he’s an nba champion, HOFer, and Houston legend. But we could get a reverse jinx Portland revenge giving them a high pick.

    I’m inclined to believe Clyde is good luck, but he’s on a losing streak given his dismal broadcasting stint and the failed U of H experiment. Just saying….maybe we should go with Chuck Hayes.

    but if Clyde clubbs a baby seal before the lotto balls spin I predict we get the #1 pick

    There's only one person you should send to represent Houston at the NBA lottery:

    Not that I know of. I saw this photo and I thought he should represent the Rockets since Hakeem did it last year.

    Chet has length, height, overall skills but he lacks size. He's pretty tough and that may make all the difference. I have him number 1 on my list.

    I said 9 boards Chet and 10 Banchero first year. You say Chet will have more than Banchero. Either way, will be interesting to see.
