    The last time Houston used three 1st round draft picks we came away with a point guard, a shooting guard, and a Turkish player. I expect the same this year though I don't know who the point guard will be....

    Bonus points if we are able to find a diamond in the rough shooting guard in the 2nd round who immediately becomes BFFs with our starting point guard (I know we don't have a 2nd lol)

    #8 was Orlando's.

    For a team that is rebuilding, one would think they'd want their pick.

    I forgot about Garuba's buyout, I thought he would be a serviceable 10 minute defensive back-up or shut down the momentum player.
    It's estimated at 3 million Euros of which the Rockets can pay $750,000 so anything over that is paid by the player. If he is not selected until the #23, the NBA slot is +/- $1,500,000 per for 3 so he may not want to sign.

    I like Bassey for the same reason, go bang for 10 or 15 and wear the opposing big man down.

    Didn't even have to trade that much!


    We're gonna get some great talent if we keep these picks! Feels like Christmas!

    If we could just buy a 2nd and get Vrenz this would be perfect. I'm being greedy aren't I.

    Honest to Jeziz I was gonna say Green, Sangun, Garuba but I thought it was too unrealistic.

    I did make this post yesterday:

    Predictions:

    #2 Green
    We'll trade up to get Sengun somewhere
    #23 Garuba
    #24 Soemone like Springer, or Butler if they are still on the board. As long as don't pick someone who just can't shoot, it'll be great.
