    Or we could have just drafted Mobley!

    Is Banchero considered a true big?

    A true big on this current team would lose confidence quicker than Ben Simmons playing Duck Hunt...

    The Oldsmobile Banchero was a mid-sized 4 door sedan manuactured from 1958 to 1971.

    I fully expect them to draft a big next draft. I would they prob said that green is better than a guard they could get next year.

    It doesn't matter right now though bc rockets could have 2 7 footers on their lineup and the other team will just have the big set a pick for a guard and slide down to the post. The stupid switch defense will then have the guard on the big and the big on the guard

    Mo Bamba is exactly the type of player this team needs! Don’t think anyone on this board would have an issue with that trade.

    We are playing too big, we should be playing smaller.

    Damn I actually googled this to see what it's dimensions were so I could compare it with a 2021 full-size sedan to determine if it was in fact "a true big."

    Agree, but I think the problem is that our “young bigs” while talented are not big enough. We all like them, but they are too small to hang with true bigs like Antonio Davis and DeAndre Ayton. This team believes that you can role Theis and Sengun out nightly against guys like Jokic and Embid and that just doesn’t work. Sengun is fine as a backup Center or starting PF. Theis is fine as a backup Center only. Let’s not all act like this short stuff just began….its been going on for a while with this team and needs to change as fans are tired of watching opposing teams play volleyball against us when near the rims

    Sengun may add the strength, developing from teenager to grown man. Maybe a bit shorter than typical but he's a thicc boi (listed 240 at the combine) once he adds his man strength he'll probably be able to stand up to the paint. He already bullies defenders with his herky-jerky drives. That guy is going to be a matchup nightmare in 4 years. We got a beast.

    I'm excited to see Garuba at the 4 with Sengun playing 5. I think their games complement each other really well. They just need playing time, experience and like 4 years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. That "future 5" has me intrigued. Porter-Green-Martin-Garuba-Sengun.

    The Rockets will get the number 2 pick this year as well. We will select Victor Wembanyama. Then, all of the Rockets problems will be solved. You heard it here first.
