    The good news is that there shouldn't be any fighting over who to pick.

    It’s not rigged. It just didn’t go our way. If the lotto was rigged, Zion would be in New York City…not New Orleans.

    The number 4 pick doesn’t likely move the needle with this group. It will likely be more of the same. But hurray potential!

    Yeah, was looking at that earlier. Doesn't exactly get you excited. #4 is a Meh position.

    Meh it's always a crapshoot.

    Don't torture yourself.

    The Green draft was a four person draft and Barnes, Wagner and Sengun all ended up being competitive.

    Luka was a fourth + pick.

    Nobody knows how any of these players will turn into.

    We have tons of trade options.

    Today is a good day.

    There’s no luka in this draft who was actually 3rd. Yes folks have an idea of how players turn into. Especially ones who follow these guys. What makes sense and what doesn’t.

    Today absolutely sucked. Rockets fans have every reason to be disappointed only to end up with trash #4

    Not sure. They had like a 15-20 year run and people love Pop. They are kinda like Americas team. Maybe that will be enough for you to understand. I don’t really care. The NBA has been rigged for a while now.

    The NBA is becoming more and more disappointing... not just about this #4 pick. It's just the overall predictability of the league itself. It's not really competitive. Obvious the league is pushing for Lebron to get his 5th ring. Just ridiculous at this point.

    Luka was third and we can’t count on something like the Kings drafting Bagley. He really should’ve been first.

    But I agree that beyond Wemby it’s not at all a stretch we could wind up with a better player than Portland and Charlotte.

    Let’s take Walker and be done. You just knew Spurs would get it…especially after the coin flip.

    For REAL! If they trade #4 to Indy for #7 (Jerace Walker) and Myles Turner, I'm good!

    Just sad and predictable.

    The NBA needs to show the process live.

    simple… SA has one professional sports team. Guess what that is ? It is the 7th largest city by population in US.

    They are also the de facto sports team of Austin tx which is the 10th largest city combined makes it the top 4 population in the country with only one major sports franchise …. Are you a serious person? Really? Not to mention surrounding smaller cities. Not to mention SA , Austin and New braunfels are tops in fastest growing areas in the country

    I’m annoyed I have to explain this ….

    The principle of "well you never know" doesn't apply to the extent that most 19 year olds simply aren't very good in their first season.

    We have a good idea of this, based on recent experience.

    Today the Rockets are .. still the worst and, have nothing other than a vague hope that "a real coach" and "organic improvement" will help them get better.

    That's worse off than this morning. Stonetitta crew have a lot of work to do, work they've shown zero ability to do so far
