2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
Vecenie is pro Reed Sheppard to Houston, in large part due to how well he fits with Amen. Also likes the fit with each of Eason, Sengun, and Whitmore He'd only trade this pick if it's part of a package for a true all-NBA type

This account is annoying, but he makes a good point here. Both are/were draft model darlings

2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
Clingan has shot 52% and 58% from the free throw line Sengun shot around 30% on threes this year, mostly on wide open attempts The team I'd be looking at is Boston, which has five-out spacing at all times (their first three players off the bench can all shoot threes at volume), which just put up statistically the best offensive season ever by some metrics If you draft Clingan because you think he's too good to pass up, then I'd be looking to make a Sabonis type of trade down the line

Thought it was fine. Girl was hot. Probably no need to ever revisit it.

2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
To be clear, my post was justifying him going #1 overall in general in this class, not to Houston at #3 I don't love the Clingan and Sengun pairing. You need to be confident that Sengun can become a spacer from three and that Clingan is just too good/safe to pass on, or you need to feel that you can't win big with Sengun and are looking to trade him for a star (like the Sabonis trade), and view Clingan as his eventual replacement I'm usually "when in doubt, take a wing" since when they don't hit, they're at least holding their trade value better than bigs or guards that don't hit, and there should be a wide variety of flavors of wings at #3, although all of them have some sort of major flaw for picking at that spot. The swing for upside pick there might be Holland. Similar to Amen, if he learns to shoot, he might have all-NBA potential. Castle is in the same boat, although as a guard.

I hate the fit with Sengun, unless you play on eventually trading one of them

His role as something between Walker Kessler and Rudy Gobert is probably the highest floor in this draft. If you just want a bankable player, then he could make sense

Funny listening to Chiney talk about a “snub” after her sister got it last time around

He's smaller in stature than FVV He’s got more length than FVV “He’ll get switched to death” What do you think teams will do to Knecht?

Caitlin Clark …. Seriously
The guards who made it are flat out better than her right now. She might be better in two years, but I think the merits argument is less convincing than an “interest” argument

Caitlin Clark …. Seriously
It was dumb from an interest/views perspective. It’s not necessarily a snub though. Nneka’s was worse. It’s similar to Kyrie and Brunson not making it because the men’s team is so loaded, but her probably having less of an argument than those two Funny thing is she would have only seen garbage time minutes.. which would have actually been considerable due to how much better they are than everyone else. So everyone would stay tuned through blowouts so they could catch all of her minutes

Caitlin Clark …. Seriously
I mean, it’s very possible. US women’s is loaded The more I think about it, the more it probably made sense to keep her off. She would have been buried on the bench, and everyone question from the media would have been about her

I don’t think knecht is under consideration at #3. Maybe if Houston trades down with Memphis- 2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
He’ll defend point in a similar fashion to FVV, while logging a lot of stocks On offense, he’ll play a similar role to White, and he potentially could be one of the best shooters in the league- 2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
He’s three years older than Sheppard, and would be a sub par defender as a wing- 2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
Watching the game last night, I was wondering if Derrick White could be the comp for Reed Sheppard, but looking at measurables, Reed just doesn't have nearly the wingspan It's more like "plays like Derrick White (but maybe an even better shooter), at a slightly larger than Fred VanVleet size" Is that archetype worth the #3 pick in this draft for Houston?- 2024 Houston Texans off-season thread
The first case schedule means you really need to cake care of the divisional games, unless you're ready to beat the other returning #1s at a high clip That 3 game stretch at the end of the season is rough. Need to go into that stretch with a comfortable lead in the division to where going 2-2 over the last four still wins it for you- 2024 NFL DRAFT
I think McKay is still heavily influential*, and while we'll never find out, I bet he was the primary voice that was instrumental in spiking Belichick * he's now overseeing all of Blank's sporting interests including the Falcons. He's Blank's Wormtongue https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-make-cosmetic-changes-to-rich-mckays-title-and-official-duties And while Atlanta ended up making a very strong head coaching hire, the personnel side is still entrenched and proceeded to make the most batshit crazy top ten pick we've seen- 2023-24 Houston Rockets Thread - Climbing out of the Gutter?
