Cant wait until the draft lottery so I can have a better idea what the Rockets are going to do

I feel like Chet/Jabari are the better fit for what we have right now but Paolo is the most talented and probably a bad fit

I don't think we're necessarily at the point where we should looking at fit over best available player but idk...definitely conflicted

Exactly my thought process. Part of me is saying draft Paolo and figure out the rest later. But the defensive part of it with Chet/Jabari might be too good to pass up.

Chet
Paolo
Jabari
Ivey

When Morey was here he would say get the talent and fill in the gaps. I think we’re still a year away from playoff contention anyway. Might as well grab the most talented player and when summer 23 rolls around complete the team.

If you’re the rockets go with best available because no other player on the rockets is “untouchable” outside of green and sengun imo

so even if you draft another guard you can just move Porter and if you draft a Jabari smith you can move wood

I don’t know what position banchero plays but if he’s a player that needs the ball in his hands to be effective then green is just gonna have to worry about playing off ball and you have years to try to make it work

Thats the thing, Paolo is a horrible fit with Sengun....but if you feel like Paolo is more talented and has more upside than it doesnt really matter, you take him and Sengun has to get in where he fits in or get moved somewhere else down the line

Or if you believe in Sengun that much and think he's no doubt a core piece of his the future do you get someone with a more complimentary skillset

I think Jalen Green is and should be viewed as the only untouchable at this point

I look at sengun and see a lot of potential

Just looked it up…damn Paulo is 6’10?

Oh yeah just bring sengun off the bench lol

True and you also have to account for him still potentially growing as well

Think his handle and shot is good enough for him to be on the perimeter? He’s gonna have to cut weight as well but Jabari smith would be my choice for Houston if it’s not chet

I think he has an okay handle and shot. He is a better passer than I think he gets credit for.

The spacing in the NBA should help Paulo look a little better with the dribble drive game offensively though. i think he is better working high post and in as opposed to having him work offensively Out by the 3 point line.

It’s gonna be interesting how he turns out.

U have Amen Thompson on there twice. Think his twin brother’s name is Ausar.

Speaking of Amen Thompson, I have seen multiple places in the past few weeks say he is the best prospect in this class. I have not really checked out his game yet.

Poor Emoni Bates.

Also JD Davidson said fuck school. He declared for the draft.

Ausar was the later pick. Amen is nice but hes an inconsistent shooter. If he can shoot it better i can see him being a tier 1 guy.

I see Davidson coming back to school after testing the waters. Didnt really like what i saw from Emoni this year. honestly didnt even want to put him that high 🤷🏾‍♂️
 


Defensive specialist Leaky Black coming back to UNC next year!

That’s two of the most important pieces of our team coming back. Now just need RJ and/or Love to come back and fill in with another perimeter threat. I think Puff Johnson will step up next year and we got a couple of Sophomores and Freshmen who will be good contributors. Things looking up for UNC next year.
 
Really wish this kid could shoot. This is disgusting, lol.

Shot close to 90% from the free throw line, so maybe there is hope for his shot. Plus his shot selection can get better.

will need to fall to the right team. Hopefully not a Borrego type that will bury him on the bench (FREE BOUKNIGHT!!!!!)
