I think Stone should stick to signing free agents, and finding diamonds in the rough (drafting)....I don't trust him with trades. That trade for Bridges was insane....he's the best player on a bad team, and we already have plenty of very good wings. And with the Harden trade, he basically gave Allen and Levert away...should've gotten a lot more from it. I like Sheppard at 3....over 50 % from 3, great basketball IQ, passer, and plays hard. Everybody keeps saying he sucks on defense, but he averaged 2.5 steals in under 30 minutes while coming off the bench as a freshman. And he's a lot better athlete than I thought...easily dunking with 2 hands. I suggest people watch his scouting videos, if you don't know much about him.

@spiritualmysticorder8524 Месяц назад

Keep the pick and get a young prospect. Cheaper for the organization too. I don't see a single veteran they can add and win the championship next year. So drafting a young prospect makes the most sense.

@alecfranklin3827 Месяц назад

Reed Shepherd is a must draft guy for Houston at 3. 6’3 guard. Averaged 12.5/4/4.5 with 2.5 steals and only 2 TO (2.25 ATO) on 54/52/83 splits. This player is absolutely special. He can play both on and off ball, and will be a winning player on day one. He most likely won’t be a superstar but honestly no one else available at three will be either. But Reed fills in the backup point guard role, shoots insanely well and will be NBA ready on day 1 unlike other more raw prospects. Reed Shepherd at 3 should be a no-brainer for Houston.

@chadricks1779 Месяц назад

Good pod Jackson. I'm split, we are in such a good position with picks, young talent and flexible contracts that Stone will have to put his cell phone on ice to keep it cool. other teams will be calling. I like the 2 trade back options you presented.......interesting. we may not get a star from this draft, but then I don't think that's what we necessarily need. because of how weak this draft is I don't think any trades will be made for picks in the future. there are stars already appearing to be shaking loose, but we would be wise to wait a survey the whole landscape. I was for a Mitchell trade but having 2nd thoghts on that. if all else fails bring back the CORE SEVEN lol

PG - Amen SG - Green SF - Jabari PF - Sengun C - Clingan 🚀🚀🚀🚀 Eason & Cam (6th Men) this is how you build a dynasty from drafts and dont tell me you dont need a 7ft shot blocker with the likes of Wembanyama and Jokic and Embiid all dominating in the modern era of Bigs. Jock Landale is horrendous and Steve Adams isn't a long term fix. We need a solid big (Clingan). A defensive anchor is what we lack.

@alecfranklin3827 Месяц назад

This lineup has 3-4 players who have absolutely no business shooting. You can’t win without floor spacing in the modern NBA. For this lineup to work, you’re banking on at least three players making major improvements as shooters at a minimum. Plus you can just sign Isaiah Hartenstein in FA, which is a lot easier than getting a point guard who’s also a legit sniper from three

The Rockets should go draft the best-fit, motivated, aggressive player that will add the missing piece for the team that is currently constructed. What I think they WILL do?

couple things... - I'd love to package no. 3 and brooks (+something else if it's not enough) for Mikal Bridges. Bridges is an elite defender whose D only slipped a little because he was expected to be the team's no. 1 scorer. He's a fantastic shooter, can return to being a 3 behind Sengun and Jalen and focus his efforts more on guarding the other team's best player. However, I doubt Brooklyn makes this deal with the Rox (see below) - hahahaha at least we had top 4 protections on our picks in the CP3 trade. Looking at Brooklyn now, what a horrendous deal that was. This would have gone back to BKN if they had the protections Houston had.

Trading Down is probably the most likely option if they want to do some trades. Because if the rockets want to look for a star there not that many stars out there. I dont think Mitchell Ingram or Lauri as much as I like him don’t think they will move the needle. So yeah I’m with trading down you could trade with Portland because if we do we could possibly draft Reed or get Dalton Kinchet. Also if they don’t trade the 14th pick they can get a big like Ware and they can stash him for a year and he backs up Sengun in 2025. I also heard that they could trade with the Bulls like Caruso the 11th pick for the third pick that could be a nice trade If they can’t find the right deal just keep the pick and draft whoever on top of your board. Either way it’s crazy how we struck gold with the Harden trade. Yeah that trade is pretty much negates the damage of the Russ trade. The future is bright in H-Town

As far as Donovan clinging he's good on defense 👏 but we do have steven adams and jock landale, I like rèed sheppard a lot and Dalton knecht, Rob Dillingham, Zachariah,

@CornellG Месяц назад

Rob to small and is a cone on defense. I like Dalton.

@greglyon1402 Месяц назад

Landale is a journeyman. Adams is getting old. Clingan matches up really well with Wemby who happens to be in the Rockets own division.

@greglyon1402 clingan won't get minutes the rockets need shooting way more because Jalen green and alperun sengun keep getting double teams the rockets can't 🚀 shoot good enough 3 pointers percentage and ime udoka said the team rockets needs shooting

@greglyon1402 and another thing we can't address every position of need in the NBA draft we have to use free agency and trades as well

@garybankston9319 Месяц назад

I think Donovan Clingan is going to be the second pick. I he falls to 3, I would take him and keep him. If he is gone, I would trade the pick. Udoka and Stone already inquired about trading for Malcolm Brogdon last season. That is good enough for me and I disagree with anybody in a blink of an eye that doesn't want him. But we need to get a future pick also and Portland to extend Brogdon's contract; he is in his final year. This is the perfect role for Brogdon because his body tends to breakdown with starter minutes. Also if Jalen decides to start the season poorly like he did they last 3 years, we would have Brogdon and Cam to play shooting guard. Malcolm would be a great backup for Fred too.

@greglyon1402 Месяц назад

Not for the third pick in the draft. He is already over the hill. Do agree that this is a make or break year for Green. Either he gets consistent or becomes a sixth man.

Pick Clingan at 3 or trade down for Sheppard / Dillingham. I think we're going to Center or PG if we keep the pick

@user-ft7md7eb7u Месяц назад

From the owner speaking sounds like trading the pick. I don’t think the rockets want to add another young player they want to make the playoffs

Amen dont have the handling skills to be the point and he has a bad shot. If you go big this way i could see it but we still need a floor gerneral.

He handles the ball just fine. Granted his shot is not there yet.

If this draft is weak like I keep hearing than the Rockets should Trade back for some extra picks next year, draft Bronny and bring in Lebron for 2 seasons lol.

@Oy10n Месяц назад

Shouldn't we get 1st pick?

@jihadmuhammad9491 Месяц назад

I'd grab Zaccharie Risacher or Ron Holland. Holland seems like Tari Eason with better offense. Holland seems like he has the highest potential to be a star and can put up the same points as Jalen and Senguin without holding the ball. If the pick isnt traded, I'd get Risacher at 3 or trade back and package it with Dillon Brooks to get Holland and let Tari and him battle for the starting Small Forward role. I'd rather have a 3rd scorer that has the potential to be better than Jalen and Senguin than a center that is only going to be a back up unless its Alexzander Scar.

@jalenjohnson0339 Месяц назад

Problem with that we have too many wings already with Jabari Tari and Cam

@jihadmuhammad9491 Месяц назад

@jalenjohnson0339 Jabari is not moving from PF and Cam is a SG backing up Jalen Green. Dillon Brooks is not a long term solution. The only issue I see is if Tari becomes a legit two way player.

@jalenjohnson0339 Месяц назад

@@jihadmuhammad9491 I see Cam as more of a 3 even if he can play the two hence why I say is that we have to many wings. If we are looking at guys that could contribute now Reed Shepherd and Dalton Kinchet are probably the best fits for our team

@jihadmuhammad9491 Месяц назад

@jalenjohnson0339 You don't get Reed Shepard as a top 3 pick. You don't get a guy that's going to be a backup as a top pick in any draft unless your team is loaded. You say we have too many wings but we have too many guards too. Best case scenario, they get someone that's better than someone already on the team and they take their spot. Drafting someone that's always going to be behind a young starter with the third pick makes no sense.

@@jihadmuhammad9491 Fred not going to be here after this upcoming season most likely. Once Fred is gone Amen is going to start after that your going to need a backup point guard and that guard is Reed he would slid right in to the backup point guard for 2025
