    Thor rumored to have skipped the scrimmage games due to being guaranteed first round pick from a certain team. Who knows !

    Nonetheless, there is an untapped potential. And he could be taken early just for his defense alone.

    Just to clarify that those averages for Thor are based on 23 minutes average. 36 min average will give him 14 points, and 8 boards. And he hasn’t not turned 19yrs yet.

    If it’s Mobley at 2 then I would love love love to snag cooper (cp3 level vision) and then either hemsworth or Murphy.
    Either way, if it’s green, hemsworth is a must..someone I watched a lot of while initially turning in to see most of coopers games...very impressed

    Im totally fine with taking him at 23/24 if hes there and I'd say theres a pretty good chance, if I had to guess, that he goes in the first round. I'm just trying to give a little context. He's still kind of a work in progress, but i agree that there's a lot to like, especially if you can keep him at the 3.

    Thanks. He plays like a 4. There is no ball handling or passing to be seen. He has to improve his jumper to 3 point range, he does have potential.

    Thor needs to work on improving his passing and rebounding, inconsistent - lacks feel.

    3ball also looks wet but he is streaky.

    Because I I thought you were trying to prove a point which was not valid. If not then I apologize.

    No point to be proven just posting the latest mash of all the relevant mock drafts, and mentioning the position of 2 players people have been talking about

    If you want Wisekamp or Grimes to be Rockets, the worst their draft stock the better. Buying a late 2nd, or nabbing one of them undrafted >>> using our 1st rd picks on them if possible

    Completely agree. But I am afraid that their stocks have risen, which is good and bad. Good in a way that people are now realizing and agreeing about their real worth. And bad obviously because it’s gonna cost the Rockets more if they do acquire them.

    We’ll see, but a reality is that almost no players considered legitimate 1st round talents played in the scrimmages, they might not be as strong of a factor as you are anticipating

    No one said that they were a legitimate first round talents. You showed that the consensus was that they are not worthy of even being drafted. My anticipation they will go in early second round and they might even crack the late first round. It would be a huge jump but they showed enough for me to suspect that. Even if they don’t, that’s how I place them on my board

    Who knows what’s going on happen behind the scenes in draft day.

    Love the kids game. I’m actually torn on deciding who’s the better prospect between him mann and Butler
