Windhorst Says Houston Rockets Interested In Donovan Mitchell? Must Draft Prospects for the Rockets! 

This guy is good. Well-reasoned and articulate. Keep him coming back.

Okc shows you should wait for your talent to mature

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 RU-vid.

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?

'Quick from the ground' is such a great description

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

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. ✌✌

Forget Donovan Mitchell why would we want him

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.

Bro Ron is a jalen green/ cam whitmore 2.0 tell me how we can develop him too

I'd take Ron Holland and Jamal Shead.

I would like to see Reed in Rockets. he is the guy Houston was looking for last year.

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

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

BARZ!! GREAT SHOW

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!

Great show and Go Rockets!!!

Coop looks like Mel Kiper’s grandson, which is perfect since he’s a draft guy 😂

Bro he gon make us win 50 or more games and playoff team for sure 👍

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.

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

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾, as usual Great show !

He said potentially….. meaning he’s just guessing we are not interested

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.

Thanks guys

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.

By the way, Steph Curry is also 6'2" right? Don't see why that is a problem!

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.

Jalen+Dillon+3rd pick for Mitchell. It would be a good deal. fvv-mitchell-cam-jabari-sengun-tari-amen nice championship core.

Risacher is more like jabari while Matas Buzelis is more like Banchero,That said,the Rockets should consider selecting Matas Buzelis

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.

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!

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

Dalton is the pick. Tall, strong, and a sniper which you have to stay glued to.

Which will bring more interest for other big names

Reed is a Kentucky gaurd I’m sure he’s the one we take

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.

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.

We should trade Brooklyn picks for The Suns picks even swap

CSG. miss yall

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

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

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!!!!😂

Trade green keep Cam and Eason

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.

Don’t Stone unless it is just for picks.

Dude lost me with his draft selection.. makes no sense to add a project non shooter to the team.

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?

We gonna pair him w Jalen

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

Swisha house troopa

Send this Jalen bum and we go

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.

Keep Jalen. Trade Dillion brooks and the pick for Brandon Ingram? 🤔

Windhurst is always wrong on everything he is the first to break

And let's stop talking about Donovan Mitchell!..he didn't even show up in these playoffs, always hurt, never happy,..gross!🤮

I would hate to bring Donovan Mitchell to this team. Please no

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.

i need reed.

This guest is talking himself out of wisdom. Take Clingan if he's there. Take Reed if Clingan is gone.

. . . ALWAYS HURT TO MUCH MONEY 💰 🤑

Bad idea.

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..🤔👌

🤘🏾🚀

JG and #3 pick for Mitchell all day

No Mitchell rather develop cam

The other teams can take him..

Hollands isn't better than cam , Amen or jalen brother 😅😅😅

Frank it the nail on the head. I can't draft Sheppard at 3.

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

I think it is because he is white

.

The Rockets should be looking at player like Alex sarr Zach Edey and there's other Big s to look at

DONT TRADE JALEN GREEN

Knecht is pronounced “connect”.

Good player but don't like the fit for the Rockets... keep building with the young guys.

this guy said Ron Holland 😂...WITH THE 3RD PICK!??!?!?!? bc he can jump well Ahhahaha😅 GTFOH

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
