Assuming all 4 rookies stay Rockets, who will have the most productive career?

  1. D-Mo

    28.5%
  2. Jeremy Lamb

    50.0%
  3. Royce White

    2.0%
  4. Terrence Jones

    4.5%
  5. Great potential that all 4 will be special players

    Rockets fans, please do not fear. Uncertainty is among you, but I am here to offer you a little faith. I believe after countless hours of an entire team analyzing rookies before and during the draft. Also after a few workouts with everyone together, the Rockets are CONVINCED.

    Morey rebuilt the Rockets in one draft. Without a superstar player to trade. Without tanking. Without a top 5 or top 10 pick. Now all he has to do is find the right pieces to fit around our new "Big 3"

    Isn't it great? We have 3 rookies w/ elite level skills (We'll hopefully keep) that are going to experience the NBA for the first time together. Train together. Go out, maybe become friends. Gain chemistry on/off the court, while hopefully staying and dominating... Together.

    The Rockets NEED this. They need a new breed of All-star caliber players to not only get the fans excited (while keeping financial flexibility) but also by changing the perception of the organization. Getting rid of the players who have been complaining, and signing players, who out of all the other teams, feels the Rockets "took a chance" on them. Keeping talented, yet APPRECIATIVE players on the team.

    Lamb is great at moving without the ball, wingspan, quick release, lights out shooting (Remind you of anyone?) Not to mention very athletic.

    I love the versitility of Royce and T. Jones. You're crazy if you're limiting Terrence Jones to just a PF alone. He's 6'10 (Possibly still growing) and (did you know?) has elite ball handling skills. A slasher you can put on the wing or slide to Center. Just incase you havnt seen this video:

    <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/s-sd9Zygbdk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Skills like these don't all of a sudden just disappear. Do they? Now you all have probably seen Royce White highlights. I just wanted to mention that what I love most about our new "Big Three" besides their ability to score, create for themselves, and finish strong at the basket... Is their ability to create for others.

    Yeah it could take more than a year. But you can't tell me with great work ethic these players can't be great for us. Hmmmm, maybe the Rockets keep Lowry (He'd be happy starting), Livingston and sign Lin. Three smart pgs that can make their team better. Knowing where other players need the ball. Trade Scola for whatever you can get to enhance the team. Keep Martin along WITH Lamb? (You have to focus on White/Jones and are BOTH good passers.) Patterson will be better than he was last year. Parsons will be even better. The center position will be taken care of, and TRAINING CAMP is back!

    So Rockets fans, RESPECT the organization. ACKNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTAND the talent we have on this team, and show some RESPECT to our new ... Big ... 3!

    WELCOME!

    One thing I've learned over the past few year is...NEVER TRUST HIGHLIGHTS!

    What are the odds of 3 first round picks (that all could and should have gone higher) being drafted by the same team... All with elite skillsets & high basketball IQ. All low risk/ high reward players (w/ rookie scale contracts). How could it not be possible? This is a thread of faith! If you're laughing, disagreeing, and doubting the Rockets organization (and ME) then YOU my fans don't have FAITH! :D
