This guy is good. Well-reasoned and articulate. Keep him coming back.
Okc shows you should wait for your talent to mature
OKC traded for SGA
True, but they technically did “develop him” too
Whatever that means 😂😂. Besides we still have plenty of young players to develop. Already spent 3 years on green. Cam would probably develop and learn MORE behind Mitchell then Green.

OKC also shows you that you need a stretch big, and rim protector
Your show is number one on my list when it comes to Houston Rockets. Love it, keep it coming. Just hope your podcast can mirror what you have on CZcams.
His description of Hollins sounds like what Amen does so why would we draft the same guy again we have enough wings we need a big and a point guard to develop behind Fred
I agree. We need guys who can shoot first and foremost.
'Quick from the ground' is such a great description
You only commented about skillsets, upsides , best fits etc. There is also the monetary side to the equation. The 3rd pick gets about 26mil in 3 years. If the talent in this draft is mediocre as mentioned. Is it not wiser to trade down or out rather than investing that sum?
I think that’s a great point.
I completely agree!
If we have second round pick, we should target Adem Bona as a backup center. Alp's national teammate. Turkish/Nigerian PF/C. Rim runner, crazy athletic, super strong and great defensively, offensively just a lob threat. He is the most athletic player in this draft class.
Height w/o shoes: 6’8.25”
Reach: 9’0”
Weight : 243.2 lbs
Wingspan: 7’3.75”
He is Clint Capela/Ben Wallace archetype. Yall check him out. ✌✌
He’s the perfect pick at #50!
That’s a great second round pick
@@itzcolby85Don't the Rockets have the 44th pick?
@@saleemkirmani5583 you’re right it is pick #44. He’s the 50th ranked prospect 🤦🏾♂️
BARZ!! GREAT SHOW
I am very high on Reed Sheppard. Not only is he an elite shooter, but also Kentucky guards tend to overperform in the NBA.
I also like Filipowski. He’s an intelligent mobile big who shoots well enough, passes, and defends. However, both players I would trade down and draft later in the lottery because I don’t think they are worth a number 3 pick. Sarr is the only player in this draft worth a top 5 pick.
I would like to see Reed in Rockets. he is the guy Houston was looking for last year.
I'd take Ron Holland and Jamal Shead.
Chyea Coogs!!! Lol Jamal Shead would not only be a great addition to the team, he's a leader, brings great presence to the locker room and just an all round good guy 😊
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾, as usual Great show !
Much appreciated
Great show and Go Rockets!!!
Thanks guys
Our pleasure!
Bro Ron is a jalen green/ cam whitmore 2.0 tell me how we can develop him too
Let's not forget what the 3rd overall pick will be paid. I'm willing to bet that pick won't be better than last year's picks or other guys on our bench. How do you justify what he'll be paid for being drafted so high? I think we might have enough young players and and probably should package this pick with other picks/assets for a big time player
Agree!
Forget Donovan Mitchell why would we want him
For real though. I believe Stone not going after him
He's better than rainbow boy 😂
This explains y some teams are just worse than others making these genius decisions. 😂
Exactly
Mitchell for green makes the rockets much better
No on Mitchell, just look at the outcomes of the James Harden for the Nets and Paul George for the Clippers. Too expensive! Stay the course!
Bro he gon make us win 50 or more games and playoff team for sure 👍
Which will bring more interest for other big names
Coop looks like Mel Kiper’s grandson, which is perfect since he’s a draft guy 😂
I know I've said it before, but if we trade any of the core for Donovan or anyone, I'm storming Toyota Center.
I think Reed could help us in the next year.
Risacher is more like jabari while Matas Buzelis is more like Banchero,That said,the Rockets should consider selecting Matas Buzelis
Money matas!
Matas buezelis can’t shoot. Hes weak too
@@Aventsdor He’s Banchero archetype though banchero is a little bigger, but Buzelis can pass, dribble, drive, shoot, defend and above all he’s a 3 level scorer.people like you said banchero can’t shoot when coming out of college but today he’s an all star. Buzelis is gonna be the best player in this draft class
From a NBA Scout via Rafael Barlow>>>>> about Risacher. He’s shooting the ball, but he can't put it on the floor. He can't. I just don't see how you can take him No. 1. You can't take a wing that high, that cannot put the ball on the floor or create. I mean, it's like, you can get you a 3 and D wing anywhere in the draft. You can find a good 3 & D wing in the 20’s. But in this draft, he’s a top 5 pick, and he’ll be able to help a team because he can shoot and he doesn’t need the ball to be impactful.
To me this is what the Rockets need as currently constructed. People who don't need the ball to be impactful and that can shoot. The rest can be built over time. The kid is 6'9-10 and only 19-20yrs old.
On tape looks to be a willing defender with active hands. Don't let this kid go to the Spurs and team up with Wemby.
CSG. miss yall
🤘🏾🚀
Mitchell for green plus picks is a no brainer.
Mitchell first three seasons are definitely better than Green. He's is still young and a All star caliber player. Put him with Seguen and the rest of this roster puts the rockets as a legit playoff contender
I disagree. Mitchell is a one man team type player. He is pretty much like getting harden all over again IMO
0:01 Mitchell is the best player coming available. Nothing like harden. Doesn't need to control the ball like a point guard. And with playmakers like Van fleet and Seguen he won't have to work as hard on offense. You don't acquire all those pics for nothing. Plus Green may never be as good as Mitchell
26 ppg 6 ass
JAZZ quit
CAVS quit
hahaha you want a QUITTTTER huh 🤣
@@longride7234 when the last time Jazz or Cavs had a title contending roster?????
I'll wait........
@@waynesmith2247 jazz 2020-2021 #1 in the league standing
Cavs 🤷
Blueprint for a kickass draft: Trade 3 & 44 to Portland for 7 & 14. Draft Holland at 7 and Devin Carter at 14. Like Cooper, I’d take Holland at 3, but he’ll probably fall to 7 or later. You guys need to do a deep dive on Devin Carter. He’s more athletic than Reed Shepherd with better anthro measurements. He’s also a solid shooter from distance at 38% for the season. He’s a major dog on both sides of the ball. That’s my take.
Lol I see nobody had love for Rob Dillingham. I'd honestly draft him or Reed Sheppard at 3. Rob has higher upside tho. If I were to trade, I'd trade with POR for 7th pick and take BPA out of potentially Dalton Knecht or Stephon Castle. I also wouldn't mind trading back for C Kel'el Ware. I'm sure his perfect combine grade raised his stock to, at least, late lottery worthy. The Rockets could use an athletic floor & rim running big that can space the floor and protect the rim. He'd even have time to develop behind Steven Adams. I'd let him develop in G League for half the season, then sit on bench and continue to learn behind Adams for remainder of year.
There isn't a player in this draft available at the 3rd pick that's going to come in as a rookie and be a difference maker on this team this year. More than likely he'll be sent down to the G League. And that's ok, but at some point you can only develop so many young players before it becomes too many. Remember getting value out of collected draft picks isn't solely in keeping them all We were never going to actually draft and keep ALL those picks. They are simply assets Tradeable assets.... and some will be used to make deals.
He said potentially….. meaning he’s just guessing we are not interested
Looks like they are interested from the news yesterday.
By the way, Steph Curry is also 6'2" right? Don't see why that is a problem!
Steph curry is 1 of 1
Dalton is the pick. Tall, strong, and a sniper which you have to stay glued to.
Knecht is a great prospect but think somewhat redundant to what Whitmore brings. Instant offense with tunnel vision. Plus we're loaded at his position. They say NBA ready but how can the Rockets give him playing time?
Mitchell sounds like the perfect superstar jump from Harden. I think Jalen amd the Brooklyn picks could be a good offer. Have to reconfigure with FVV and Spida cus that's WAY too small
Yeah but we would still have Cam and Amen off the bench
Udoka isn’t trading any of the 6 young players he put so much work into grooming. Ime is a systems guy. He wants certain players who will fit into the mindset he wants from his players. There are no so called Super Stars you mortgage your franchise future on to win maybe 10 more games. There will be no major turnover with his young core. The Rockets aren’t 1 player away from serious contention in the West. They need continued growth of ALL of their core
Yea, just add 7 to your pick in this draft and that's where your value is at in a normal draft. So what is the 10th pick worth in a normal draft? That's what we really have to work with. I don't see much in trades happening so just take Sheppard. I also noticed Holmes. I would try to package our 2nd round pick, Tate and/or Landale to get Holmes(maybe Ware). However, this roster is too crowded, we have to address that sooner or later. I would try to get a veteran for several guys and the 3rd pick but there just isn't anybody I like. Would you trade Jalen, the 3rd pick, Landale & Tate for DeJonte Murray? I wouldn't - Is he even a "star" player? The one thing it would do is clear the roster some. I might be willing to use a Nets picks, Jalen, & Landale to get Murray along with Sheppard and Holmes. The roster would still be too crowded. Forget the core six we may end up with the core eight after the draft. There is the old saying "sometimes less is more". Maybe you do go ahead and trade for Paul George just to clear the roster to open up more playing time for some guys and move on. Right now it seems we are stuck in developmental limbo - especially if we add two more rookies.
That's crack head shit not realistic
Why isnt Matas Buzelis really being talked about as an option for the Rockets? Kinda checks all the boxes of what Udoka said he wants with the 3rd pick.
Bro i feel like buzelis and sengun cant cook at the same time. I feel they play in similar position and have the sane creativity but the ball is just one uk…
@@stufatotv1567 ha? One is a center and one is a wing. Like Rockets lack that point forward type player that can shoot, Franz Wagner archetype. They were bottom in the league in assists. That's literally their roster flaw - shooting & added playmaking.
Same reason Reed Sheppard makes a ton of sense for them - shooting & assist..
please take him so my pistons dont . he WILL GET BULLIED.
We should trade Brooklyn picks for The Suns picks even swap
Again I think Reed would be great he been in my top 3 players so yea .... but Utah has I think 9 and 28 if we flipped our picks for theirs we could get two good player we like ... but again I kinda think drafting so another team don't have a mismatch for years to come is a good down the road move like if okc N.O OR SA get a 7'3 300lb center sengun might not be able to cook ...
It's gone be interesting to see
And oh the French say Ree she shay
And he eric Gordan thicc 😂😂😂 I'm dead
We gonna pair him w Jalen
Don’t Stone unless it is just for picks.
Reed is a Kentucky gaurd I’m sure he’s the one we take
Bad idea.
Trade green keep Cam and Eason
Reed should be the pick! We are really over thinking. The guy does what we need.... I promise San Antonio will not pass on him and for 10 years will be a thorn in our azz!
Jalen+Dillon+3rd pick for Mitchell. It would be a good deal. fvv-mitchell-cam-jabari-sengun-tari-amen nice championship core.
Exactly bro. Hell we can throw in a Brooklyn pick or two also. And don't forget the biggest factor.. ... Our dominant Head coach Udoka.
so you want a QUITTTTER huh haha
Keep Jalen. Trade Dillion brooks and the pick for Brandon Ingram? 🤔
I’ll put it like this don’t trade for twos trade for one’s. One’s that are in their prime unless Luka Giannis Jokic Tatum becomes available. Don’t trade for Mitchell I like him but he not a one on a championship level team we would be a second round exit at most. Until a superstar becomes available might as well do what OKC is doing keep this young group together for the next four to five years and see what we have.
As for the third pick I’m for moving down but if there not an offer that not worth the third pick keep it.
Reed is the pick for me he the best shooter in his class and he is FVV replacement after this upcoming year. He can play on ball and off ball so he can play with Jalen and Amen and he an intelligent defender he could learn a lot from Fred.
I mostly agree that you draft for upside. But in this draft all of the guys are around the same tier. It’s not wrong for the rockets to draft for need especially since we need shooting.
Reed the best fit for our team.
Even though we have enough wings Kinchet the only wing I would be ok in drafting because of his ability to move behind the three point line and shoot. He would give us the spacing we need. But I’m only drafting him if we trade back.
But yeah great video fellas
We have enough young players. Jalen Green has already had three seasons with the rockets. I would much rather give a max contract to Mitchell instead of green. Rockets need a veteran star player.
@@waynesmith2247yall just want a name, Mitchell haven't won nothing in his career, he prob win us some games but he doesn't make us a championship team we can do that with a younger green
@@deebrown9263 27 ppg , 6 ass, 5reb. That's not just a name. That's a top 2 shooting guard. He ain't won nothing??? In Cleveland and Utah???? Wonder why😂😂😂😂 Young players???
Which of the teams headed to the conference finals don't have a veteran star ???
@@waynesmith2247 okc could make it n dnt have real vets. Thats the route I rather take, than going for Mitchell n still dnt win n he's always injured
@@deebrown9263what are you talking about? SGA IS a vet! And OKC TRADED for him!
No Mitchell rather develop cam
The other teams can take him..
I would hate to bring Donovan Mitchell to this team. Please no
I’ll pass on Mitchell, he’s good but I’m not sold on him as a #1 option from what I’ve seen, it’ll be different if he brought him in as a #2 but coming to the Rockets he’ll easily be #1. And I definitely don’t want him if we gotta give up some if the core.
Rockets Don't have to give up the core to get Mitchell. Just Green and picks, maybe a vet or two. They can trade for Mitchell and still keep the core intact
And if you can win with Jamal Murray as a 2, you can win with Mitchell as a 2...... even tho he's been the best player on his team since highschool
@@waynesmith2247 You got me wrong my dude, I’m not trippin if we’re bringing him in to be the second option at all, I just know if we bring him in he’ll automatically be the #1 option, which I don’t want. Unless Sengün takes another step in his development and becomes at least an average to above average 3 point shooter
@@htownborn92 I don't think it really matters whether we call him the number one option or not. Bottom line he would be the best player on the team. And we have so much other talent like the other 5 young players and Van Fleet and Steven Adams..... it would make the number 1, number 2 option conversation moot
Swisha house troopa
Send this Jalen bum and we go
No on Donovan Mitchell, keep the pick and draft either Sheppard, Risacher, or Clingan and do a package trade and get someone like Desmond Bane, Lauri Markannen, Jarret Allen or Tyrese Maxey.
Why ppl so obssed with ime ‘ s defense?? Does same ppl know that ime and this ass burning gm could be the rockets in future 2 years in the same roster?
Windhurst is always wrong on everything he is the first to break
. .
. ALWAYS HURT TO MUCH MONEY 💰 🤑
Reed or Holmes as the 3rd overall pick!?!..Damn Frank, I know these aren't your takes, but where is BubbaDub when you need him..TRASH!!!!😂
Ron Holland was so talented that he couldn't excele in the G league!?!..😅..OK....and we definitely don't have enough gaurd slash wing players..🤔👌
The guys a broken wheel. Rockets can't trust him to be on the floorh when it counts. Damaged goods, buyer beware !! Plus the team gets smaller
Hollands isn't better than cam , Amen or jalen brother 😅😅😅
i need reed.
He’s just trying to create a narrative. The Rockets have already stated their not interested in trading their core 6 for a star player.
Dude lost me with his draft selection.. makes no sense to add a project non shooter to the team.
JG and #3 pick for Mitchell all day
Please stop!
JG ,#3 pick, Brooklyn pick, maybe Brooke to make the $ work. Eason, Amen, Smith Jr, Killa Cam , Seguen, Van Fleet, and Adams...... Udoka....+ Spida Mitchell = Contender
@@jehovasinz what do you mean? that’s a bargain of a deal l. as a matter fact, I’ll be willing to sweeten the deal even more for Mitch
This guest is talking himself out of wisdom. Take Clingan if he's there. Take Reed if Clingan is gone.
Frank it the nail on the head. I can't draft Sheppard at 3.
.
And let's stop talking about Donovan Mitchell!..he didn't even show up in these playoffs, always hurt, never happy,..gross!🤮
Knecht is pronounced “connect”.
The Rockets should be looking at player like Alex sarr Zach Edey and there's other Big s to look at
Not Edey too slow can't shoot from deep, we will get killed on defense putting him in picks n switching, Edey is a end of the first pick in most drafts
I think it is because he is white
Trade the pick for Jarrett allen!!! Back to Sengun..
I really think Adam and sengun can probably play together. Adam's screening ability is that good and I think sengun has enigh handle to take on other 4s and 5s in a pick and role with other 4s and 5s if they needed it to happen
this guy said Ron Holland 😂...WITH THE 3RD PICK!??!?!?!? bc he can jump well Ahhahaha😅 GTFOH
Good player but don't like the fit for the Rockets... keep building with the young guys.
DONT TRADE JALEN GREEN
GIVE HIM ONE MORE YEAR!! IM STILL A BELIVER
We want him in Lakers!
He should start his March as early as October. 😂
@@pattrickmerete he learned now. He will give his best. No more excuses for him.
I understand high iq, however physical capability is equally as important. There's a reason why the Pacers choose Mykes Turner over Sabonis... The elephant in the room that no one ever seem s to address is, we need size at the 5 position, we need a rim protector, preferably a big who can do both. The issue is, you cannot move ALP to the 4. If you are running a two big lineup, one of them have to be able to stretch the floor, and the 4 have to be able to switch at least 2-4
