    Full credit due.

    And I think you're right on the nose. Melton has superstar talent. It's a matter of his mentality. Can he keep his nose clean, and will he with hard enough in the gym? Everything where is there, quickness, speed, hops, length, and most importantly basketball iq and floor vision. The mire video if him I watch the more I want to watch.

    Funny, but I thought about cocaine instantly.

    It was important to me to reveal my opinions late this year. The last two years my guys got taken higher than expected (yours too iirc) when I said something too early.

    Yes, I know the world doesn't revolve around me but good juju and bad juju are real!

    If Morey brings the same team back i know one thing JAMES HARDEN is about to be under harsh criticism from the city of Houston if he doesn't bring a championship to the city. That MVP won't mean jack **** if he doesn't bring competitive fire when we need it most deep in the playoffs. Harden can talk a big game but he better show it late in May and in June if he's so aggressive in stating this team has enough.

    Bumping because I knew this guy would be a sleeper and I was hoping we could have snagged him. Watching him harassing us the other night was exactly what I though he could do for us. But he went much higher at 2.32 than our 2.46 Melton pick. Grizz got a solid NBA role player.

    Him, Brunson, Gary Clark, Kyle Kuzma, prove that we need to look at these Jr. & Sr. leaders, award winning, type players. They come out running unlike these unproven freshman and Euro stash.

    I mean... one of these guys is not like the other, lol.

    Kuzma - ok, FOR SURE.

    But the others still have plenty left to be determined. Frankly, if I'm in need of a cheap backup, I'd probably rather go veteran than a 2nd round senior if it is in the mold of Brunson or Cater.

    Again, Kuzma is not this... and I don't think he was this coming out of college either. He wasn't that "solid" 4 year college guy where you might question his NBA capabilities and CERTAINLY question NBA upside, but not really bball IQ. Rather he was a late bloomer where you really questioned the 3 point shot and it was incredibly hard to see he has one at the NBA level.

    Not saying they are the same level only saying that they are at worst contributors. I attribute that to their 3-4 years of experience and leadership. That's the point I'm making.

    Definitely not a basketball officianado, but what is the general consensus on our two draft picks - they seem like solid choices?

    Oh, I thought it said 2028 sleepers (but I suspect Mooorey was still there watching)...

    Not a sleeper, but holy crap Admiral Schofield would look good on the Rockets.
